Its electioneering strategery!  
Why, watch as an obvious Obama plant tries to interrupt Ryan’s speechery. The nerve of this old, entitled, worthless citizen!

Seriously, what is it with republicans and the overuse of certain words and phrases?

“Thugs”- used to describe any liberal who exhibits any sort of aggressiveness or passion. These very same traits are ignored or actually encouraged if they’re talking about fellow conservatives.

“Disgusting”- used to describe \*any \*action by a liberal which conservatives might disagree with.

“Rammed down (their, our) throats”- any law or policy which is passed despite republican disagreement.

It’s like there’s no middle ground with them. There’s never any sort of mild disagreement with democrats- it’s always defcon 4 with them. It’s like they’re trying to out-outrage each other, or something.

Not to mention that any openly gay person is a “radical homosexual activist.”

And the fact that “bosses” is only used to describe people that are in charge of unions never the ones in charge of businesses.

Back in the 80’s anyone who disagreed with the Moral Majority types was automatically a ‘Comm’unist hommsexu-el’

In fact, and contrary to popular belief/memory, even back in the 1960s there was more RW than LW political violence – you can read all about it in [_Nixonland,_](http://www.amazon.com/Nixonland-Rise-President-Fracturing-America/dp/0743243021) by Rick Perlstein.

At least that one evokes a certain perversely-appealing visual imagery.

No, but it’s possible for the post to be shit and that seems to be what we have here.

But as the OP shat out this turd, I would argue that he is by definition a Thread-Shitter. Just not the common definition.

Oh, [much more than Bakunin.](http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/UsefulNotes/PoliticalIdeologies) (Scroll down to “Anarchism,” which is for some reason the longest section in the article.)

Heck, [_Anarchy Comics_](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anarchy_Comics) alone makes up a more respectable intellectual tradition than anything the far-right has got.

Hijack: I once got accused of “ramming my beliefs down someone’s throat” for trying to tell them that President Obama didn’t just get to appoint his own congressmen. True story.
