Usage: n.
Derivation: Very common


anti-idiotarianism: n.

[very common] Opposition to idiots of all political stripes. First coined in the blog named Little Green Footballs as part of a post expressing disgust with inane responses to post-9/11 Islamic terrorism. Anti-idiotarian wrath has focused on Islamic terrorists and their sympathizers in the Western political left, but also routinely excoriated right-wing politicians backing repressive 'anti-terror` legislation and Christian religious figures who (in the blogosphere's view of the matter) have descended nearly to the level of jihad themselves.
