Term used by the newly enlightened to describe people who "don't get it" according to the user. A way to put down other people based upon totally subjective criteria.
"Oh look at those sheeple voting for Kerry. They don't know what I know. I'm so above them. It's nice to know I'm better than most people. Isn't life grand, yet so tragic."

An inability to influnce one's own opinionative thoughts, or processes, due to the overall beliefs/actions of the majority. A 'neo-conformist' typical in America's society. Willful ignorance &/or apatheticness.
A phrase originally coined by William Cooper describing the ill-informed, or dis-informed masses of individuals.
Sheeple commonly depict these traits:
Depravity of recognition, automatic response towards a conflict/event, unquestionable affirmation, surrender upon authority (or authorative figures). The range varies on how convinced the sheeple is in his/her own confidence.
Bill O'Reilly: ...today, we have received a video from Al-Qaeda confirming that terrorist may in fact have set foot upon America; the content in this video also came laced with a warning stating that white collared Americans are a threat to Iraq.
Viewers: HOLY CRAP IT'S THE END OF THE WORLD, LET'S GO & GET US SOME GAS MASKS, RADIATION SUITS, MOLDING, & DUCT TAPE!!!!!

The worst neologism in the history of the English language, use of which will derail any serious argument and make the user look like a moron.
Do not use "sheeple" in any place it could not be replaced by "sheep people." Since no sane person would ever write a sentence using "sheep people," NEVER USE "SHEEPLE."

Sheeple (def.): Any group of people who are perceived (by the user of the term) to hold the majority view on a given matter where said view is in disagreement with the user of the term
Logical note: The term "Sheeple" is most often used as an "Ad Hominem" (for definition, see:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ad_hominem
). It is meant to imply that a person or group of people are unthinking conformists who only believe what they believe because (insert conformity-related reason here), and not on any evidential, rational, justified, grounds. For many, this is preferable to actually examining what (if any) grounds a given person might have for their belief(s), s
1. "Anyone who still thinks Lost is a good show after Season 3 is just another example of Sheeple"
2. "You believe that 9-11 wasn't an inside job? Clearly you're a Sheeple."
3. "You think the Holocaust actually happened? Sheeple!"
4. "You don't recognize that Ron Paul is the only politician worth listening to/voting for? You voted for Obama? What a Sheeple!"
5. "You listen to Rush Limbaugh? You're such a Sheeple".
