WHO GIVES A FUCK?!?!? Stop giving these mad cunts your time and attention! They are freaks, and they will go away on their own if you let them! If you Just. Fucking. Let. Them. I am so desperately sick and tired of the seemingly endless cavalcade of Palin threads, or Bachmann threads, or threads about whichever loosely-glued wingnut motherfucker courageously galloped into hitherto uncharted terrain in the Great Plains of Crazyland by going apeshit over some wacky anti-Obama conspiracy he got in a chain e-mail from his aunt Pete about how Van Jones is raiding the graves of dead televangelists for hair and teeth so Joe Biden can fashion a Marxist golem that Obama can order to forcibly convert Dakota Fanning to Islam or whatever the fuck! I don’t even need to read them to know they’re there - and that’s what’s PISSING ME OFF!! These people don’t need any more attention than they’ve already got! Here’s an idea. Instead of writing a thread about curious proclivity of obvious cunts and idiots to spout off about stupid bullshit, why not write a thread about something _good_ Obama has done? Show the President a little support. I’ll lead by example: I think it’s a really good thing that President Obama has devoted more [Federal funds](http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/promises/promise/378/create-an-office-to-help-improve-nonprofits/) to helping non-profit organisations with a track record of getting positive results. Good job! ---

So, how does one of these golems get activated? Do you have to write the instruction on a page taken from a Chick tract, and place it in its mouth? ---
