Republispam

This describes parroted right-wing opinions that get spammed to news forums whenever there's a story about global warming, fracking, the EPA, species extinctions, gun control, taxation, health care, abortion or any topic that regularly bounces around the right-wing echo chamber. The comments ignore the actual substance of the articles, using snarky language and analogies that veer wildly off-topic.
A story about a man killed in a freak pruning shear accident drew these Republispam comments: "Obummer's gonna ask us to register all pruning shears!" (and) "Just wait: Al Gore will claim that reckless gardening is caused by global warming!"

Republicamp

The modern-day analog for old Hoovervilles.
Shantytowns of people who have lost their homes as a result of years of unscrupulous deregulation, corruption and incompetence in government.

America's Gini index (income disparity) has moved into Third World territory and it seems logical for Americans to live in shantytowns the way much of the world does.
On the bright side, maybe all these Republicamps will inspire a movie as compelling as 'City Of God.' Man, that movie kicked ass. Wait what were we talking about?
