The acronym TCOT has been bandied about a lot recently on the Twitter microblogging site, frequently in the form of the hashtag #TCOT.
For starters, the acronym and hashtag are references to the "Top Conservatives On Twitter." When used in the hashtag form, as it is most often, the term provides a way for conservatives in particular and Republicans in general to locate and follow the tweets of their like-minded brethren.
And the term is also a reference to an influential list of those so-called top conservatives, which is maintained at the website Top Conservatives on Twitter.

It is a defense network to keep conservative voices public. The left tried to Alinski it. Then, when they couldn’t, they formed their own (#UniteBlue)..The dems claim #TGDN stands for (Todds- God- Dam- Network) after Todd Kincannon..(the founder)..right now we are fighting amongst ourselves thinning the heard and building an army for mid term elections 2014..hopefully this will unite us at the ballot box..
LOL must be true.
I always though the first “T” stood for “True”, not “Top”. As a counter to the “p2” tag used by “progressives” (i.e., statist morons). I like the fact that conservatives are strong on Twitter — any lame attempt by the leftists to “trend” a topic via hashtags immediately gets hijacked by conservatives, who are far wittier due to our reliance on independent thought rather than the daily spin. And a MUCH better sense of humor, on the whole.
