An inability to influnce one's own opinionative thoughts, or processes, due to the overall beliefs/actions of the majority. A 'neo-conformist' typical in America's society. Willful ignorance &/or apatheticness.
A phrase originally coined by William Cooper describing the ill-informed, or dis-informed masses of individuals.
Sheeple commonly depict these traits:
Depravity of recognition, automatic response towards a conflict/event, unquestionable affirmation, surrender upon authority (or authorative figures). The range varies on how convinced the sheeple is in his/her own confidence.

Bill O'Reilly: ...today, we have received a video from Al-Qaeda confirming that terrorist may in fact have set foot upon America; the content in this video also came laced with a warning stating that white collared Americans are a threat to Iraq.

Logical note: The term "Sheeple" is most often used as an "Ad Hominem" (for definition, see:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ad_hominem
). It is meant to imply that a person or group of people are unthinking conformists who only believe what they believe because (insert conformity-related reason here), and not on any evidential, rational, justified, grounds. For many, this is preferable to actually examining what (if any) grounds a given person might have for their belief(s), s

Weak minded people who refuse to formulate their own opinions when it comes to any sensitive, controversial occurrence. They jump on the bandwagon so they can appease people, therefore they'll stay quiet/scared (Sheepy)because they can't handle being an outcast when it comes to forming a opinion.
Background: A sheep has a nature of being bashful and fearful. Sheep are best known for flocking (herding) and following instinct. They will run from what frightens them and band together in large groups for protection. When one sheep moves, the rest will follow, even if it is not a good idea.
Sheep + People = Sheeple

The masses that are still asleep on important issues. They are cultivated the same way cows are cultivated for milk and meat, or like chickens for their eggs and meat or more accuractly for their wool. Sheeple herd by the government.
Why bother try to educate hopeless people? They are still sheeple. They are content living in their fantasy while they are being shared bald for their money... i mean.. wool.
