I am looking for an appropriate term for the Republicans supporting Bundy.
All I can come up with is "Turd Huggers".

"Butt-hurt Club" or "Butt-hurt Boys"
"Cow-chip Huggers"
"Bundy Huggers"
"Deadbeat Huggers"
"Land Sharks"
"Boot-in-Mouth Gang"
"Ranch Rogues"
"Wannabes"
"Range Roaches"
"Ranch Lice"
There's a healthy start, good luck!
ETA: Ooops, one more... "Chip Flingers"

Well done!
Thank you, thank you... I come up with good one or two every once in a while. Since I have been familiar with this case since bundy first announced that his panties were all bunched up in '93, I just can't help myself.

In one of many threads about clivan bunny, DUer kairos12 came up with "Moooooooooocher!!!" which I thought was fucking BRILLIANT!!!!!!!
But I figured it might not be over-boring to remember why these labels are significance - hell, why ALL word manipulations are not to be taken lightly ('cause they're pretty effective)!

(41,833 posts)to me, at least, was knowing that SEAN HANNITY WALKED right into a cow pie, with his thing about getting behind Bundy vs the US Government. It was like watching him walk into a Utility Pole while talking to a Camera. I can't stand him, and to see him make a public fool of himself on the world wide Internet was nothing short of creamy delicious.

I had thought of that but for some reason the "Tree Hugger" moniker is what I used as my guide to try and remain somewhat civil about it. Otherwise, I don't nkow what the hell got into me there.

(86,651 posts)To be clear, I have been called a "Tree Hugger" for decades and I would rather that and called that than any other epithet idiots want to try and insult me with. I, too, wear as a badge of honor. Those of us who are called that can feel comforted in knowing we have our minds right about the environment... in most cases (disclaimer for anomalies!).

Do NOT hug them, even if you think they might need a
hug. It's like hugging a Borg.
