“Sheeple” isn’t a word so much as a portmanteau, but I agree that whoever uses it in a non-ironic sense deserves nothing but derision.

Latest tweet from Sarah Palin:

Obama speech tonite may make u dig out ur old Orwell books so rewritten history can be deciphered, depending on who gets credit 4 Iraq surge

What the hell does that even MEAN?!

It means WAKE UP SHEEPLE!

What the hell is a sheeple?!?!

LOOK IT UP! I’m not going to do your homework for you!

But the fact that it’s OBVIOUS since you don’t KNOW what SHEEPLE means that you’re one of them!!! You’re not a REAL American.

What the hell is homework?!

Homework is brainwashing by the socialist teachers who want you to look at facts instead of faith.

When a Mama Grizzly senses homework, she knows what to do.

Sarah Palin is a BEAR?!?!

That explains a lot, actually.

Gotcha media strickes again!

What drives me up the wall about Palin is how the tone of her voice is always talking down to you even though she has no f-ing clue what she’s talking about. I get migraines at the mere thought of her shrill condescending voice.

Also.

^upvote

Yes, this. She always sounds like she’s talking down to your level because you’ll just never understand her if she talks normally, you precious little thing. Fuck off!

The sheeple and talking down thing is very strange for a populist politician.

Not when the populace that you’re appealing to thinks they’re inherently superior to everyone who’s not them.

Are sheeples meeple shaped sheep? I have some of those in my Agricola board game.

Oh, a Teacher.

I have no use for Palin, but its quite clear the majority of the reason she is hated and feared so much by liberals is that she dares to be both female and conservative.
