Yes, I checked Wiki among other sources before I started using it that way. I realize that my usage is a bit of a stretch but I think that the word is on its way to evolving as a synonym or "groupthinker," which is how I used it.

>>The term has been used as a snipe by people who see it as an example of groupthink allegedly encouraged by Limbaugh.<<

The Wiki author of that piece, like most Americans today, needs a refresher course in English usage. "Dittohead" when referring to Limbaugh fans should be capitalized in any case. Or perhaps it's correct British usage.
