Guy-Fawkers: The Next Accidentally Sexual GOP Catchphrase? (VIDEO)

First Posted: 03/18/10 06:12 AM ET Updated: 05/25/11 03:35 PM ET

First there was teabagging, then there was 2M4M, now there's guy-fawking. Someone has latent sexual desires and Stephen Colbert is completely elated by it.

Last night Colbert proclaimed Michele Bachmann's anti-health-care-reform protest on November 5th to be "Guy-Fawking" because it took place on Guy-Fawkes Day. "Today we're guy-fawking to stop health care reform, tomorrow we guy-fawke gay marriage," he proclaimed.

Um, Michelle Bachmann knows that Guy Fawkes is revilled as a villain in the UK, right?

That would imply a level of intelligence that is not contained in her universe.

So now are we going to have a bunch of ignoramuses who think his name was Guy Fawke?

I thought Stephen was more literate.

But look at what Michelle Bachman and the rest of the Blob off to the Right stand for, and what they're fighting for.
Freedom, liberty, the flag, the Constitution, freedom again, our great country and great Americans, our fallen soldiers, the Pledge of Allegiance and The Star Spangled Banner.
In a word: America. Truly the land of the free and the home of the brave.
In other words: visceral nonsense.
02:50 AM on 11/07/2009
right... that and the limelight. Bachmann doesn't believe a single one of her own words. She's the P.T. Barnum of politics. Her career is built on exploiting suckers.

I'm saying that, from the blob on the right, I hear a lot of platitudes and a lot of symbols that trigger visceral reactions without rational substance.

Say "We're losing our freedoms" and you'll get an automatic response of "Yeah, they're stealing our freedoms." Ask what freedoms they're losing and, I think, they won't know what they're talking about.

Say "Freedom, Liberty, the Constitution and Thomas Jefferson" and a whole crowd will be passionately on your side. Everyone knows what you're talking about, but no one really does - it's only emotion.

Or talk of the flag, or being proud to be an American, or how great our great country is, and tears will well up in their eyes, and they'll follow you anywhere. Symbols to fight and die for, without thinking.

Fox News is like the Voice of America. The Foxophiles buy that without asking whether the correlation has any validity whatsoever.

I'm talking about emotion, especially fear, above rationality, and the disinterest of so many in using their own brains.

There's plenty of knee-jerk thinking on the left, but I see the blob on the right as frighteningly deliberately stupid.

Am I more clear? I like tongue-in-cheek; it doesn't always work.

I have noticed that the GOP has been fawking around lately...and doing a lot of it.
04:59 PM on 11/07/2009
Lets hope while they are fawking they aren't producing any little fawkings.

Imagine Cobert debating Akmenidinnerjacket. He'd have him jumping up and down on the Group W bench screaming "Bomb Tehran" without realizing it.

They CANNOT have Guy Fawks!! That's MY hero!

They've already ruined the "Don't Tread on Me" flag and teabagging. What are they going to co-opt next, my bong?
