anti-idiotarianism
2014-04-26 11:54:15 -04:00
n. [very common] Opposition to idiots of all political stripes. First coined
in the blog named Little Green Footballs as part of a post expressing
disgust with inane responses to post-9/11 Islamic terrorism. Anti-idiotarian
wrath has focused on Islamic terrorists and their sympathizers in the
Western political left, but also routinely excoriated right-wing
politicians backing repressive anti-terror legislation and Christian
religious figures who (in the blogosphere's view of the matter) have
descended nearly to the level of jihad themselves.
