Signing up for Facebook has been a real eye-opener for me. I once had no idea who it was that got their world view from Fox News, now I have a much better idea.
A high school reunion took place not long ago and I was swamped with requests from people I hadn't heard from in ages and I blindly accepted most. Now I see some of the pay-off from the Koch brothers sponsorship of obscure net posters with slick messages with no real thought behind them.
I don't see how these right wingers can continually get their panties in a wad over any obscure idea without suffering from some kind of outrage fatigue.
A few weeks ago some law professor wrote an oped piece for the New York Times which advocated scrapping the Constitution in favor of some kind of British parliamentarian system. Days later I heard him being interviewed on NPR.
Yesterday a couple of conservative FB friends reposted a slick "demand" that the professor be fired for suggesting the Constitution be scrapped. THE NERVE!!!
I posted a comment under it something like, "I'm trying to figure out how the petition should be worded? The undersigned loves the U.S. Constitution so much that we demand the firing of the man who exercised his first amendment rights under that Constitution."
The posting was removed by this morning. Piers Morgan MUST be deported because the second amendment outweighs the first!!! That's why they put it in there secon......., wait a minute............
