Paul Begala twists Joni Ernst’s #2A statement into call for violence

http://twitter.com/#!/PaulBegala/status/525338353622077440

In 2012, Iowa Senate candidate Joni Ernst told an audience that she carries a gun to protect her family and her rights should the government ever try to take them away.

Paul Begala (and others) are now framing Ernst’s quote to mean that she supports violent revolution against the U.S. government, including police and soldiers:

That’s not what Ernst was talking about and Begala knows it, but hey, there’s an election coming up and Dem desperation is high.

Others took that ball from Begala and ran with it:

If Ernst were actually supporting violent revolution against the U.S. government she’d be kind of stupid for trying to get elected to the Senate, wouldn’t she?

Former managing editor at Sky News leaving company over hacking

http://twitter.com/#!/jodiesmith28/status/187925736735248384

According to multiple Twitter reports who are citing BBC News and Sky News, Simon Cole – the former managing editor at Sky News in the UK – is said to be leaving the company in the coming weeks following media light that Sky News was in fact part of the hack-gate scandal.

Why is Simon Cole leaving the company? Is Sky News trying to turn this into a witch hunt? This is all very weird.

Rolling Stone contributor defends ‘basically terrific’ Venezuelan government

http://twitter.com/#!/charlescwcooke/status/436902627453181952

That’s quite an honor, but Jesse A. Myerson most definitely deserves it. Myerson, if you’ll recall, is the same douchebag who penned the decidedly Marxist-flavored “Five Economic Reforms Millennials Should Be Fighting For” last month for Rolling Stone.

http://twitter.com/#!/redsteeze/status/436903797332647936

Today, he’s once again making a complete ass of himself:

Progress? In what universe, pray tell?

http://twitter.com/#!/JAMyerson/status/436902058407362560 http://twitter.com/#!/JAMyerson/status/436903345672826880 http://twitter.com/#!/JAMyerson/status/436903614380908545 http://twitter.com/#!/JAMyerson/status/436905382326194176 http://twitter.com/#!/JAMyerson/status/436906644937535488 http://twitter.com/#!/JAMyerson/status/436906841662951424 http://twitter.com/#!/JAMyerson/status/436908660606771200 http://twitter.com/#!/GOPMommy/status/436911990347268096 http://twitter.com/#!/JAMyerson/status/436911917546737664

Um, no. It’s just a perfect illustration of the appallingly rotten conditions in which most Venezuelans find themselves.

Myerson’s in dire need of a public shaming. Fortunately, reality-based tweeters are up to the task:

Also painful? The fact that in this day and age, there are still people out there who defend a political philosophy that has millions impoverished or dead.

http://twitter.com/#!/GOPMommy/status/436912920199323648

Some people are just beyond help.

Editor’s note: Myerson’s name was initially misspelled in one instance. We’ve corrected the error.

Let’s get this straight: President The-Buck-Stops-Over-There is placing this “movement” squarely at our feet. And we can make things right by throwing even more of our money at him.

Sure, guys. We’ll get right on that.
