rainbow belch
>>>>>
When President Obama proposed failed Socialist economic policies as a way to grow the economy, I felt a rainbow belch coming on.
One cannot simply "stick it" to producers (because of class envy, or a perverted concept of "fairness") and expect the economy to grow.
Likewise, America cannot tax itself into prosperity. The incentive to generate a profit is a cornerstone of job creation at every level.

Froll
A fake troll, or false troll.
Someone who posts an idiotic or inflammatory comment as a joke, not because they seriously believe what they are writing.
A prankster who assumes the online persona of a troll.
NOTE: It is important for the froll to be well known on the site in question, otherwise "the humorous impact is somewhat dissipated" when newbies think that the froll is a troll.

Worker #2 "Sort of. I was bored with the same old strife and debate, so I decided to be a froll just for laughs. Making stuff up was actually more entertaining than the subjects under discussion."

/sarc
When written at the end of a comment, "/sarc" indicates that the writer has been in "sarcastic mode," informing the readers not to take the comment seriously.
The term is a parody of HTML codes, in which one exits a text format by putting a slash in front of the style type. Thus, to stop text from being bold, one would code "/b"; so (humorously) to exit a comment that has been sarcastic, one writes "/sarc."

"The Islamic oppression in Darfur is getting worse, and the United Nations is more useless than tits on a nun. It infuriates me that the U.S. tolerates the constant undercurrent of anti-American rubbish and lies.
Honestly, of all the things that the U.N. has done, or has attempted to do, how many of them have turned out well?
It's all a load of socialist utopian claptrap and they need to move to Geneva!"

"The only reason that the U.N. is completely ineffective is due to a lack of funding.
As the world's lone superpower, America is morally obligated to donate at least 30 percent of our GDP to help make the world a better place. That kind of cash infusion would also help increase the General Assembly's budget for drugs and hookers.
Give peace a chance."

POST #1 (Patriot)
"Socialism is a fatally flawed ideology that has utterly failed the people it purported to help."
POST #2 (Troll)
"Well of course it did to a racist, sexist, bigot, homophobe like you. You and the other Chimpy McBushhitlerites probably want to grind up the lazy ass poor people and turn them into dog food! My food doesn't have parents. Meat is murder!
Likewise some workaholics are obscenely rich and it's not fair. The money that they have personally stolen from the Native Americans since 1492 should be taken away and given to the lazy ass poor people (so that they can become lazy ass middle class people). And what about WMDs and global warming? What about those, huh?
MEAN PEOPLE SUCK so I hope you eat a lot of fast food and die of a heart attack! Fascist bastards!"

ZOG
The "Zionist Occupation Government" or "Zionist Occupied Government."
Offensive term used by anti-Semites and neo-Nazis referring to the government of the United States (and occasionally to Britain), implying that Jews and their supporters control the mechanisms of government.
Conservative bloggers will on occasion mockingly use the term "ZOG" to poke fun at extreme-right racists.
(Infrequently, "ZOG" will be used to describe the state of Israel, generally by hardcore Palestine supporters and Pan-Arabists who seek the elimination of Israel.)
According to Wikipedia, the term was coined in 1976 by neo-Nazi Eric Thomson.

News Brief: "Saudi Arabian unemployment figures reached 30% today fueling fears of a larger than normal recruitment pool for Wahabbi terrorists. Analysts speculate that the hoarding of crude oil proceeds by the dysfunctional, 5000 member royal family has impeded business development and job opportunities in the Magic Kingdom."
Neo-nazi punk: "Man, I know that the A-rabs have a closed off, backwards society, but the ZOG must be behind this somehow. I just know it."

Huffer
A denizen of "The Huffington Post" blog: "One who breathes in the rarified, oxygen-starved air of 'The Huffington Post'."
"Hi, I'm E. Feet Liberal and I care about important things. That's why I rely on 'The Huffington Post' to keep me up to date with:
--politically incorrect words/ideas that have been newly banned by the intellectually enlightened
--inane progressive ideology
--the latest DNC talking points
--cheap shots aimed at anyone and anything to the right of Noam Chomsky
and
glowing reports about how President Obama is so totally awesome!
When common sense and reality threaten to burst my rose colored, progressive bubble, I gain solace from being a Huffer. Reading the anti-American opinions, half-truths and cherry-picked facts reassures me that my hysterical hand wringing, misplaced activism, and blogging about the same, is a wise life's devotion.
Amazingly though, there are people who post disagreements with my utopian worldview. They have humbly suggested that my advocacy has no lasting spiritual value--that it's all just wood, hay and stubble. Can you imagine that? For Pete's sake, I'm trying to save the planet from the evils of free market economics!
Don't worry though, during these comment exchanges I call upon my academic background, and 'rhetorical kung-fu' skills, to provide a reasoned and enlightened response. First, I stereotype the dissenters as 'typical conservative, racist, sexist, bigot, Freeper, Zionist, homophobe, inbred, Fox News, wing nut, hate mongers.'
Then, building on that foundation, I am able to summarily dismiss everything that the dissenters have to say because (obviously) anyone who holds a differing opinion from a Huffer is mentally ill. (Too bad Amerika doesn't have those wonderful psychiatric hospitals and re-education camps like China and Russia. I used to love going to camp).
If the unenlightened still refuse to conform to my point of view, or try to cloud the issue with FACTS, I appeal to my fellow libtard posters for backup. Via a democratic consensus, the enlightened among us organize into a grassroots cybermob and bully the dissenters with every ad hominem available (so be forewarned you inbred, fascist scum)!
Obviously this kind of reaction is a responsible use of power, and we Huffers make a difference every day in the all important blogosphere. (Because mean people suck, and their free expression is not welcomed on the World Wide Web).
As a Huffer, I am continually working to create a better world. Will you help me in my efforts to quash wrong speech, wrong thoughts, wrong ideology, wrong curriculum, wrong rights and wrong freedoms? (The Bill of Rights is so problematic at times and should be disallowed in red states because it is an obstacle to socially responsible progress).
(Takes bong hit)
Power to the people baby!"
