I Hate Twitter. I Hate It, I Tell You.
Okay, so now when I see a headline that says “House Republican Compares President Obama to Convicted Murderer Jodi Arias,” all I think is “Oh please, dear God, don’t let it be a Texas congressman. Not this time. Oh please. Let him be from South Carolina. Or Georgia. We haven’t heard crazy crap from Georgia in a while. It’s their turn. But not Texas, Lord. Please.”
Apparently, I have been paying the wrong preacher. Because God is giggling at me.
It’s Steve Stockman.
.
So now President Obama is a brutal murderer.
Look, Steve, I know the Benghazi hearings haven’t stunned a nation. I recognize that the stock market is doing well and jobs are picking up. I know this has got to be terribly disappointing to you. But, really?
There were at least 12 embassy attacks under Bush and you don’t see me comparing him to O J Simpson. Okay, maybe that once but I don’t think you saw that and it was just once.
Can we get the Texas Republican delegation off of Twitter for a day or two before they burn that sucker to the ground?
Thanks to Brian C for the head up.
Republican politicians, especially ones from Texas, view politics as trench warfare. Thus, they have no willingness to treat this President as anything other than their foe in the opposing trench. Heck, when you see bumper stickers on P/U trucks here with “Obama is a bigger enemy than Al Qaeda” plastered on their rear bumpers, then you kinda get the picture, right-up close.
1One of us needs to start a Website called, “Dumbassman of the Day.” We list the 5 stupidest comments by congressmen,
2and vote for the winner. Could even keep track of which congressman, and state are winning. Or losing, depending on how you look at it.
JJ … I started to do the twitter thing.
I can’t say what I want to say in …….. characters.
I didn’t need the frustration.
What concerns me…… is that a lot of folks….. think this is “journalism”…… as in news.
I’m all for giving Louie Gohmert a twitter account, and never letting him go on tv. I’m all for giving David Gregory a twitter account, and keeping him off the tv. I can think of a lot of folks….. that it would benefit the entire country to do that. Let them tweet, or twit, or whatever, and make them just Shut the H*** Up.
JMHO.
3I am of the opinion that Twitter has done more to expose the morons in society than any other form of communication. It takes some kind of talent to demonstrate your complete and total ignorance in 140 characters.
4The most derogatory thing my great auntie could think to call someone was *common*. Steve Stockman is just common.
Yes, Miz Juanita Jean, God has a warped sense of humor.
5Expressing a lot in a little IS a challenge. Check these:

In the meantime, you can use #dumbassteve on your own tweets.
6Probably 99% of Twitter is pure drek. And yet… then you see Twitter used *well*, as Andy Borowitz does so brilliantly. He alone almost makes the whole blasted thing worth existing!
7Only a birdbrain would tweet such nonsense.
8Representative Stockman is running a giveaway for a free AR-15 on his web site: http://stockman2014.com/ar15-entry/
If we all enter the drawing, the winner could turn the gun in to be destroyed. What a great photo op!
9RepubAnon, just don’t turn that gun in to be destroyed in Arizona– they’re now required by law to resell it, no matter what you wanted.
