(93 posts)I get the whole "Bircher" idea, no doubt because I'm old enough to know who they were, but doing the typical high-brow Liberal thing of using a label most Americans have no idea what it means is pointless.
Sedition Party. Keep it simple (two words). Keep it easy to understand for THEM. We are the smart ones, but we are sometimes not smart enough to talk down to their level. When dealing with the massively bigoted Right, you have to be clever enough to trick them into understanding your point of view. That is why Fox is so successful with the tea baggers - they always talk down to them in the most basic terms they can understand.
Never forget who you're up against. They are not intelligent people capable of reasonable discussion. Propaganda and slimy Fox-mistruths are all they can understand.
