We posted yesterday on the “snippy” exchange<\/a> between deputy spokesperson for the State Department, Marie Harf and Daily Beast reporter Josh Rogin, but Twitter wasn’t done commenting on the exchange.<\/p>\n

As this administration has embraced telegraphing U.S. plans in advance — i.e., withdraw dates from Iraq and Afghanistan — users were a little confused by Harf’s strong statement that, “we are not going to telegraph our plans, period.”<\/p>\n

And here are some of the responses calling her out on this “telegraph” nonsense:<\/p>\n\n\n

@AnthonyBialy<\/a> @JammieWF<\/a> @marieharf<\/a> @joshrogin<\/a> "We are not going to telegraph our plans in advance, period." Uh, what do you call "no boots"?<\/p>\n

@marieharf<\/a> @joshrogin<\/a> We never telegraph our intentions. We use the major networks silly. 👸👓<\/p>\n

— Marie Harf (@MarieBarf) September 15, 2014<\/a><\/p>\n

\n\n\n

@marieharf<\/a> @joshrogin<\/a> because you tweet instead of telegraph now?<\/p>\n

\n\n\n

Really?—> @marieharf<\/a> Your exalted leader has no problem telling everyone what we 'won't be doing. What's the difference?<\/p>\n

\n

Oh, and about Harf ending her declaration with “period”? Remember what happened the last time:<\/p>\n\n\n

Oh, @marieharf<\/a>, the last time anyone used "Period" on us, we lost our doctors, coverage. @joshrogin<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

And let’s end with this:<\/p>\n\n\n

How do you sleep at night? @marieharf<\/a> @joshrogin<\/a><\/p>\n

Good question, Ryan, good question.<\/p>
