No, not the one about Romney’s “Binders full of Women” (more about that later). I’m talking about the one where all the grammar-challenged misspelling morons eagerly cheer for the assassination of Mitt Romney.
Twitchy captures the lowlights, such as…

A few thoughts…
First, we have no way of knowing how much of this is sincere and how much was done by agent provocateurs from the other side wanting to impugn the character of Obama voters.
We do have other anecdotal evidence (comments in other forums, YouTube posts), that there really are people who talk, write, spell and think this way. We also know there are certified racists and white supremacists who engage in this type of spoofing. I’ve tangled with some myself.
There are liberals who want to shut this down or enforce some kind of internet license that prevents anyone from posting anonymously. This is un-American. My solution is simpler. Ignore comments from anonymous nobodies and investigate and prosecute those stupid enough to post criminal threats.
I can’t help thinking back four years ago to a casual workplace conversation with a black coworker I am friendly with. He told me that the election of Obama would not heal race relations. He knew it would make them worse. He is a black man in a mostly-white world, so he has a keen understanding of both groups, and the past four years have validated his pessimistic prediction.
Twitter is Useless
The other thing that occurs to me is that Twitter is useless for anything other than allowing celebrities to pollute our lives with every little stupid thought that goes through their little pea brains. Eva Longoria, whose beauty far exceeds her brains, provided us a perfect example:
Liberal Democrats are in a Binder
Free Speech is a wonderful thing. Normal people are scratching their heads over the “Women in Binders” meme, but thanks to the multifarious liberal media outlets, there is an abundance of liberal loonies willing to explain it to us…

@evalongoria I have no idea why any woman/minority can vote for Romney. You have to be stupid to vote for such a racist/misogynistic twatNow, if a conservative man used that kind of language against her, do you think he’d get by with it?

1. The image of a bunch of men leafing through “binders of women” is just icky. It evokes catalogs, porn magazines, mail order brides.
3. In our paperless society, binders are terribly old-fashioned. They invoke a time when the only jobs women could get in offices involved secretarial duties like putting together binders for the men who would do the real work.
4. And, as hundreds of online commenters (male and female) have pointed out, the word binder implies, well, binding. And we’re kind of sick of being bound up unless it’s in an E.L. James novel.No, it’s not a parody. Yes, she is serious. Long live free speech!
