Ann Coulter’s #BringBackOurGirls lampoon backfires
KC Star ^ | 5/13/14 | LISA GUTIERREZ

Posted on 05/13/2014 12:16:33 PM PDT by Oliviaforever

She and her fellow conservatives have been on a roll the past few days mocking the #BringBackOurGirls social media campaign launched to call attention to 300 kidnapped Nigerian girls.

First Lady Michelle Obama became the face of the campaign when she posed with a small white sign with the hashtag written on it.

The campaign is symbolic of what’s wrong with the ObamaAdmin.

They ignore a problem for years(Islamic terrorism), criticise anyone who points it out, allowing it to grow, and now that it’s undeniably a problem that requires real, hard action, they come up with this fluff effort because they’re afraid of offending anybody.

The “Potemkin Village” Administration - it looks like there’s people there who could act, but alas, it’s all just a facade.

So typical for this bunch of bozos.

“Ann Coulter does not deserve this treatment by these social media leftists.”

She knows what she’s doing.

It’s calculated to drive the left batty, and it’s working.

Coulter wins, our country wins.

I am a lot more confident though, since folks tend to have tv-clicker memories and even more so, Twitter 140 letters limits memories, which are even shorter.

Apparently. Because of the Mooch’s stupid picture, decent people are on the wrong side of this.

What if Ted Cruz had done this with #bundyranch? That would have been huge!

I doubt the vast majority of Americans even use Twitter. I signed up once but I almost never use it for anything. Haven’t even signed on in months.

When I read the trending FB headline that Coulters stunt had backfired I thought uh oh, Coulter must stepped in something.

A bunch of leftist kooks taking their routine mostly-not-clever potshots isn't news. Thats all they do.

If this is the new standard the media ought to come to FR the next time the Kenyan Klown demonstrates his trademark ineptitude. They'll really have a story.

I will go one better. If Ted Cruz would have put #bringbackourgirls and put it on the internet. The folks here would be calling for him to become President in 2016. I mean he filibustered with zero results and they praised him for it. Wendy Davis filibustered with zero results and she wasn’t. I just get sick of the politics I guess.

Twitter is BIG among the young people, even much more so now because Facebook is pretty much is big among their parents.

Commentators hate the campaign because it is only there as a means to present the facade of caring when in fact, they have done nothing.

In today’s world, the act of showing concern is good enough to buy votes.

It is the hypocrisy of it all that makes me sick.
