Sheeple?

Every new phrase starts somewhere.  Who came up with Sheeple?

It sounds like something Jeff Cooper would have said.

According to Wikipedia:
The label seems to have originated among conspiracy theorists in the United States of a far right political persuasion. The Wall Street Journal first reported the label in print in 1984, where its reporter encountered the word used by the proprietor of an American Opinion bookstore affiliated with the John Birch Society.[1]

I don't know where it started but John Connor (http://www.americanhandgunner.com/GunCrank2.html) gave the best definition I have seen

*Sheeple: Sheep-like people, many of whom deny the existence of wolves, and vote to pull the teeth of the sheepdogs who protect the flock

It seems to have been originated and most commonly used by the far-out-right; Aryan Nation, Christian Identity, etc.  It has spread from there...

And seems to have spread to gun boards where anyone not agreeing with some yayhoo adovcating kill em all is a sheeple.  I find it amusing that people think that merely having a gun, a CCW, and a computer automatically makes them not sheeple.

Michael Savage uses that term a lot.  I still like it, anyway.
