Sickos spread false rumor about Zimmerman juror’s name; Threats begin

http://twitter.com/#!/MarkNeJame/status/357101136349626368

Florida attorney and CNN legal analyst Mark NeJame awoke to the vicious, dangerous and false rumor that his wife was anonymous juror B37 on the Zimmerman jury. Colossally inept Twitter detectives spent the early hours of the morning spreading the “news” and passing around a photo of Josie NeJame.

http://twitter.com/#!/hieian/status/357085520519643137 http://twitter.com/#!/loflyinjett/status/357028270551740417 http://twitter.com/#!/vajenkin/status/357145491873611779 http://twitter.com/#!/art2u2/status/357131585352503296

Yeah, no. There’s no wild conspiracy. Mrs. NeJame is the mother of two young daughters and president of Runway to Hope, a charity that raises money to defeat pediatric cancer. She was 24 years old when she married Mr. NeJame ten years ago.

Juror B37 is reportedly a 50-something woman who works for a chiropractor. She has two adult children.

Mr. NeJame is keeping a sense of humor about the rumor as he attempts to set the record straight.

http://twitter.com/#!/MarkNeJame/status/357095934208905217 http://twitter.com/#!/MarkNeJame/status/357106032721395713 http://twitter.com/#!/MarkNeJame/status/357152824372633601

But the Twitter lynch mob has already threatened jurors and is wishing for the rape and murder of Juror B37. What do these thugs plan to do with the juror’s supposed identity? Nothing good:

She’d “never wish ill on someone’s children”; She just wants you to know exactly what they look like. No reason.

Best wishes for the safety of the NeJame family and the women who actually served on the Zimmerman jury.

Singer Erykah Badu: Louis Farrakhan is a ‘SuperHero,’ ‘beautiful, brave’

Louis Farakahn is a SuperHero. That's A beautiful brave being. #staywoke

— ErykahBadoula (@fatbellybella) April 17, 2013

Since when are racism and anti-Semitism beautiful or brave?

Last year, Badu suggested doing away with racial classifications:

‘ Race ‘ should be taken off of EVERY form. We are all Americans.E.badu

— ErykahBadoula (@fatbellybella) August 16, 2012

Criticism of the race card is just the sort of thing that would send “superhero” Farrakhan into uncontrollable fits of rage.

Color us disappointed.

MSNBC’s Chris Hayes envisions ‘enormous’ O-care enrollment today

http://twitter.com/#!/SgtTim911/status/415216899178246144

Perhaps MSNBC’s Chris Hayes’ dream will come true, provided the number of people deemed “enrolled” are counted using the ever-evolving White House “success metrics” system(s):

http://twitter.com/#!/chrislhayes/status/415211621565206528

How characteristically optimistic. Good cheerleader! However, the White House isn’t known for being particularly forthcoming with their disclosure of actual enrollment numbers.

http://twitter.com/#!/PQ_Hammer/status/415216238566977536 http://twitter.com/#!/patrick552/status/415220012094619649

Yes, an additional day has been added to the deadline to accommodate the enormity.

President Obama didn’t have any trouble signing up whatsoever, but mostly because he didn’t use the website and had others enroll for him.

Paul ‘World of Warfare’ Begala trolls Ted Cruz over ‘no’ vote on Kerry

http://twitter.com/#!/PaulBegala/status/296401955415261185

Sen. Ted Cruz was one of three senators to vote against the confirmation of Sen. John Kerry as Secretary of State today. In a statement, Cruz said he opposed Kerry because of his “less-than-vigorous” defense of U.S. security interests.

Cruz’s office says he voted no on Kerry bc “of his longstanding less-than-vigorous defense of U.S. national security issues”

— Rosie Gray (@RosieGray) January 29, 2013

Paul Begala was among the first to question Cruz’ right to vote against someone he didn’t think was right for the job by going after Cruz’ status as a non-veteran. Begala flubbed the video game reference, though.

@paulbegala Modern Warfare, World of Warcraft. Come on Paul, this is the Internet, you can’t make mistakes like that here.

Amidst all this confirmation controversy, one thing’s for sure: @paulbegala can’t play World of Warcraft.

— Yair Rosenberg (@Yair_Rosenberg) January 29, 2013

@paulbegala @rev_nev_lewis pretty sure Commander in Chief hasn’t gone to World of Warcraft either, but apparently he has been skeet shooting

— Cindy Nelson (@MedStudiesGirl) January 30, 2013

So, were only senators who have served allowed to vote on the confirmation? Or were non-veterans allowed to vote “yes,” but not “no”? How does this work, exactly?

As a VET I find @sentedcruz remarks abt Kerry/Hagel disgusting. You owe them an apology. You NEVER served & know nothing of war/military

— Jody (@FishHawkRdJody) January 29, 2013

While John Kerry & Chuck Hagel were getting their asses shot at in Nam @sentedcruz was still crapping in his diapers. STFU abt war, Ted

— Jody (@FishHawkRdJody) January 30, 2013

Ted Cruz(RTX) never in military. Jackass chickenhawk demeaning Kerry & Hagel who actually fought in war. Cruz pompous idiothas no shame.

— Kathy (@mydoggigi) January 29, 2013

So how many medals has Canadian-born @sentedcruz won? Right – that’s what I thought. Ted, please stop embarassing your home and native land.

— August Murphy-King (@august_mk) January 29, 2013

About those medals…

John Kerry confirmed Secretary of State – throws away Senate commendations, falsely accuses other Senators of atrocities.

@soopermexican You meant to say *FAKES* throwing away Senate commendations, right? 😉

Words are hard: Press told no Biden photo op; WH tweets out photo

http://twitter.com/#!/SpeakWithAuthor/status/290910537137659904

Oh, our aching sides! Words are so hard for Vice President Biden and his office. Just last week, Biden said that his gun task force meetings are totally not photo ops. At a  gun task force meeting. A photo from which the White House then tweeted out.

Today, there was another “words are so hard” example.

https://twitter.com/markknoller/status/290818312579981314

Weird! Because here is … a photo.

https://twitter.com/VP/status/290908017422127104

It depends on what the definition of photo is! CBS’ Mark Knoller, who is a Twitter master and an all-around good guy, tries to explain it away a little.

https://twitter.com/markknoller/status/290912180201734144

Sorry, Mark, but we must disagree. A photo op does not specifically mean for the press. Other people do exist. We are givers, so here is a definition for the Vice President’s office:

 a situation or event that lends itself to and is often arranged expressly for the taking of pictures that give favorable publicity to the individuals photographed

Ding, ding, ding! We have a winner! Why do you think the photo was sent out?

By the way, what happened to that whole “bipartisan spirit”?

https://twitter.com/5sahandful/status/290819038144241666

And, get ready for the next photo. Op, or otherwise.

https://twitter.com/samsteinhp/status/290897433028861954

Featuring Obama’s own mug, natch.

Hashtag mockery: The buck stops with Hillary … on everything

http://twitter.com/#!/Cameron_Gray/status/258032598394236928

President Obama can’t have that pesky Benghazi-gate “bump in the roadway” tripping him up on 2nd presidential debate tonight and he’s desperately wishing his coach has room underneath for roadkill in a pantsuit.

With Hillary Clinton already dropping on her behalf sword over the Benghazi safety failures, you will want to make the fault for other travesties might trigger hiccups for President Finger-Pointer at tonight’s debate? It’s about time some body took obligation for Milli Vanilli, brand new Coke while the Ford Pinto, and Hillary’s our gal.

Conservatives rapidly trended the #HillaryAlsoTookTheBlameFor hashtag and kept it going through the night.

Wow, my hashtag #HillaryAlsoTookTheBlameFor is getting some grip – today, basically have a @twitchyteam article, I’m able to perish a happy guy
