Really, Michele? Really?

I need the help of someone who lives in Minnesota, preferably in Michele Bachmann’s district I just received an e-mail from her (I sign up for newsletters from several Republicans just to see what kind of crap they spew to their supposed supporters, of which I am not one) in which she claimed something rather dubious in veracity. Let me quote the first part of the e-mail:

Adventures in Tweeting – May 17, 2012

I managed to get only one tweet shown during the Ed Show tonight, and most people probably missed it. It was shown during the promo-break about fifteen minutes into the program, when people were likely out of the room getting snacks or using their bathrooms. Ed had been talking about the aborted plan by the right wing to resurrect the bogeyman, Rev Jeremiah Wright. It just shows that when they have no good ideas, they resort to personal attacks, and not even on the people they’re running against.

Why can't the RW campaign solely on the merits of their ideas? Oh, yeah, their ideas have no merit. #edshow

Tomorrow’s another day, and then the weekend, when I enjoy tweeting during Up with Chris Hayes. His show doesn’t post tweets in the crawl, but the tweeting does sometimes lead to interesting conversations (or convos, as they’re called in the Twitterverse.)

Adventures in Tweeting – May 16, 2012 Twitter Fights

I don’t like to sit back and let people tweet nonsense about our nation being a secular one. So, after responding to someone else, I was met with this reply:

@sevenish You can't spell "secular" without U-S-A.

— Wayne A Schneider (@WayneASchneider) May 16, 2012

That’s when someone had to try to give a clever response, so I let him have it:

@hankgolfer @sevenish @Political_Bill You can't spell "Crafty Religion" without I-G-N-O-R-E F-A-C-T

— Wayne A Schneider (@WayneASchneider) May 16, 2012

He seemed to have nothing to come back with except even more nonsense:

@hankgolfer @sevenish @political_bill Yes I can, if I were ever 2 use such a silly phrase in the 1st place. People did it B4 the internets

Sometimes they make it too easy. 🙂

UPDATE: Only had one tweet make it to the Ed Show tonight

John Boehner is one of the worst Speakers of the House it's been our nation's misfortune to have. Stop voting him in, Ohio #edshow

Adventures in Tweeting – May 15, 2012

Lately I’ve been having fun trying to get my tweets put up on the bottom of the screen during “The Ed Show” (MSNBC, 8 PM ET). Last night, I had four of them put up, which was a new record for me. Tonight, Tuesday, May 15, I wasn’t as lucky.

During the first segment about JP Morgan Chase’s loss of two billion dollars, I got this tweet displayed:

Capitalists do not understand the difference between blame and responsibility. Jamie Dimon wasn't to blame, but he is responsible #edshow

— Wayne A Schneider (@WayneASchneider) May 16, 2012

Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on whether or not you like my tweets), I could not replicate my “media presence” of the night before, and this was the last tweet that I saw make it to the air. Oh, well. Maybe tomorrow night. 🙂

Happy tweeting.
