Freepers recast Lord of the RIngs

John McCain calls the Tea Party a bunch of hobbits. Freepers, always a fan of the black-and-white morality of Lord of the Rings run with it:

Dr.Zoidberg knows who McCain is:

Hobbits - brave, loyal, ready to face danger for the greater good.
Knowing it was meant as a slur and considering it came from a betrayor, a Nazgûl, I’ll still take it as a compliment.

mardi59 also maps a villain:

Does this make Bela Pelosi Shelob? I’m for it, now where’s Samwise when you need him?

Clearly Samwise is Boehner, since he toppled Peosi.

Grizzled Bear prefers to cast the heroes:

Remember, those scruffy Hobbits brought down Sauron (Obama? Soros?)
Obviously, Sarah Palin is Arwen Evenstar. That would make Todd Strider. I'm not sure who would be Gandolf, but McStain is too damned stupid to be Sauroman the traitor.
He's obviously "Wormtongue!"

Grizzled Bear knows who Gandalf should be.

Someone said Ronald Reagan should be our Gandalf. I'm not sure who fits the bill as Bilbo.

Does that make the Balrog Alzheimer's?

mardi59 gets pretty esoteric:

I have the perfect Gandalf....Rush Limbaugh. Also, Chris Matthews as Gorbag
and Olberman as Shagrat the Orc platoon leaders.

Casting done, so_real turns to what really matters:

Unreal ... Now I have to add "hobbit" to the list? We have been dubbed "tea-baggers, clingers, cling-ons, racists, haters, re-pubic-licans, wingnuts, nazis, birthers" and ... hobbits. Perfect. I think the list is complete. At what point does the name calling end and the civil war begin?

Being called a hobbit? Just another reason for Civil War 2!
