Fox News + Teabaggers
People who subscribe to the tenets, postures and propaganda of the Republican Party, or its far-right populist Teabagger wing, which have both become malleable tools of the Fox News Channel and the many concorporative interests it often speaks or acts on behalf of.

Created in 2010 by @Shoq as a twitter #hastag, "Foxbaggers" merged many competing terms, all referring to the same far right-wing constituencies. Rather than call them Wingnuts, Hatriots, Populists, Foxbots, Fauxbots, Fox viewers, etc., it was far more efficient to use one simple label and tag, which could be used like this:
"James O'keefe" is just a Foxbagger pretending to be an investigative journalist so he can impress all the other Foxbaggers."

Someone that posts on Twitter, Facebook or other social network for the purpose of coming on to someone romantically on behalf of someone else—often for money.
The Ghost Dater presumably knows better how to engage, intrigue, flirt, or otherwise attract a prospective date than the hopeless loser they are hired by.

FakeDonJuan69 wanted to become a professional Ghost Dater so he could make a bundle coming on to women on behalf of guys whom they normally wouldn't be caught dead with.

A twitter hash tag used on 8/28/2010 to commemorate Glenn Beck's "Restoring Honor" rally on the Washington mall.
Most often, but not exclusively used by his detractors, and a few insightful Republicans.

The #douchebeck claimed that he wasn't promoting a book, but was "restoring America's honor." Few understood what he meant.

Stream + Citzen
A generic follower—or citizen—of a social network "stream" of people and information, who often dislike being called a "friend" or "follower." They are simply members of a community stream, and thus, "streamizens."

@JohnPublic's stream was rich with diversity. He was proud to have doctors, lawyers, artists, educators, and prostitutes among his thousands of talented or interesting streamizens.

A more descriptive and catchier synonym for emo progressive or puritopian.
An Emotarian usually arrives at all of their political positions through an emotional calculus rather than a rational one; a formula by which any issue can be understood through the lens of unyielding idealism, with little regard for history or precedent, and fiercely defended to the point where any pragmatic thinking or compromise must be viciously characterized as "selling out," even at the expense of some immediate political gain over previous political conditions. They are particularly prone to assigning bad faith and evil motive to any democratic President who refuses to make speeches that sound as if Noam Chomsky, Dennis Kucinich or Michael Moore wrote them.

Emotarians are upset with President Obama for threatening to use force against Syria. They believe all war is bad, thus, any use of force—or threat to use force—is unjustified, and further evidence that the President must be a malignant fascist tool of a global corporate plutocracy.

Having little experience organizing rallies, he was eager to listen to the friendly Chamberbagger who seemed eager to help.

The Supreme Court, in Citizen's United vs. FEC, unleashed the power of corporate money in political campaigns, further entrenching the influence of corporate interests over United States corpizens.
