A Recap of the Most Appalling Reactions to the 2012 Democratic National Convention

A very special thanks to Sootcha for all the painful research assistance for this post.

Well it has been an exciting couple of weeks. First the GOP took over Tampa and presumably cemented the exotic dancer vote for the Democrats, then the godless, blue-state sodomites brought there sinful ways to Charlotte. Once again, America weeps. Anyhoo, nothing brings brings the frothy rage of a wingnut up like liberals having a good time. Here is a collection of some of this week’s most regrettable reactions to the 2012 DNC.  

Nothing says fun like conservatives and technology. Social media has enabled the world’s crazy people to reach us like never before. Lucky us. This week seemed to bring out the conservative rage against women. Particularly Sandra Fluke. Here are some gems:

Erickson’s tweet resulted in the obligatory half-asses apology. However, that didn’t stop a petition drive asking CNN to fire him as a contributer.

If this wasn’t enough to convince America to ban conservatives from Twitter, Mitt Romney’s campaign decided to purchase trending hashtags during the convention so wingnuts at home could play along. The results were pretty awesome.

The GOP really, really need some social media training at their next retreat.

No political event is complete without the the pointless and usually ill-informed insight of America’s celebrities. They are our royalty, and like royalty they often have a slow-witted, inbred quality about them. Sadly, the GOP never seems to get the really hot celebrities. After Clint Eastwood’s triumphant speech at the RNC. The GOP was was assisted by the always batshit Chuck Norris, who released this freaky video.

OK, technically this is from the GOP convention, but I cannot resist this batshit on batshit match up of Victoria Jackson interviewing Michele Bachman. You’re welcome.

No liberal event is complete with the geighs. The Democrats didn’t mince words about their support for expanded gay rights this time, and we all know how the wingnuts feel about that.

They look like such a nice couple. Too bad most anti-gay activists actually look like this.

What a neat group! Sigh, good luck America. You’re gonna need it.
