GUNNING FOR GOONS

I would like to reiterate my recommendation for the characterization of obnoxious right-wingers as goons. Goons sounds brutish, servile, vaguely comic, dispells notions of accomplishment, and casts indirect aspersions on the independence, intelligence or manhood of the Goon in question, as in "Vietnam subjugated by Wieden and Kennedy Marketing Goons" or "Ann Coulter Renews Contract as Fox News Goon, " or "Rant Radio Goon Returns to Rehab."
