The Best (And Worst) Angry Reactions To Obama’s Re-Election
FOX News anchors tremble, deny and doubt their way out of declaring an Obama victory
You know it’s bad when the characteristically cool Karl Rove starts to stutter. Or when Bill O’Reilly waits only five minutes before waxing philosophic on the burdens of white male privilege in the face of the “gimme, gimme” masses. Or even when, in the midst of her disbelief, the frosty blonde Megyn Kelly stomps awkwardly off set to “figure [the election] out”. All of that happened last night and you can watch it all here.
Iran: Americans are too stupid and ignorant to know that they are stupid and ignorant
Leave it to the Iranian state-run media to call it like they see it. Iran’s Press TV recently dedicated a segment to the American voting process, wherein they cited a Cornell study that allegedly confirmed that “many Americans lack the intelligence to vote, and the vast majority of voters are not only too stupid or ignorant to know that they are stupid or ignorant but also too stupid or ignorant to tell when that is true of a candidate.” Don’t know how reliable that Cornell study is, but the irony and, well, sad amount of truth in Iran’s claims are non-partisanly hilarious.
Donald Trump’s Tweeting Tantrum
Much like his hair, business ventures and flirtations with public office, Donald Trump’s campaign against Barack Obama fell miserably flat. But fear not, the Donald won’t go down without a fight. Channeling Che Guevara–were Trump to exude anything more than hot air and overpriced cologne–Trump took to Twitter in his advocations of revolution, dissent of the masses and other things that he’d never be successful in leading. But reading the 140-character tantrums of a pissed off plutocrat is never a bad idea if you’re looking for a cheap laugh.
The worst: Obama hanging in effigy
“Forward”? Not really — at least in Duluth, Wisconsin. According to the city’s newspaper, officers laughed before finally taking the racist relic down.
Perhaps worse was the Riot by the Pasty University of Mississippi Students, blocking traffic and burning Obama signs until the Police had to stop their Mob Action.
I know it’s the interwebz and fact checking is too old school for bloggers, but still… I’m just a lay nobody and detect at least 3 parody accounts up above in your montage of outrageous right wing tweets. There are enough genuine creepy, racist, wingnutty celebs and pundits out there. Stop shooting yourselves in the foot.

As for Duluth, this ain’t the first time: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1920_Duluth_lynchings
