> [@Miller](#): > > Forget about what the right wing says. Focus on what the right wing does: [American fundamentalists finance Ugandan law that imposes death penalty for homosexuality.](http://www.huffingtonpost.com/james-peron/whos-helping-finance-ugandas-kill-the-gays-bill-you-are_b_2229509.html) You had me up and defending you for this before I realized how stupid your post was. Your link says nothing about conservatives supporting the law. You really ought to admit your mistake and apologize rather than continue this. This is the sort of thing I sometimes do when I’m angry. ---

[There’s Erick Erickson’s crusade to brand Wendy Davis “abortion barbie”](http://www.thedailybeast.com/cheats/2014/01/29/erick-erickson-won-t-stop-calling-wendy-davis-abortion-barbie.html) Though if you want to find something as violent and vulgar, you can probably find it pretty fast on free republic. They’ll argue that that’s just some nameless nobody, but who’s this Laura Levites? ---

Apparently Laura Levites is a comedienne. I’m sure this just made her day, publicity wise, until such a time as somebody decides to try to kill her for what she said. ---

> [@Knorf](#): > > [Here’s a link](http://www.examiner.com/article/feminist-comedian-i-want-to-rip-out-gop-rep-cathy-mcmorris-rodgers-uterus) to that lefty stupidity. The problem with beating this tweet with a right wing example is that it is clear that Levites was clearly trying to be outrageously hyperbolic for humorous intent. There aren’t as many comedians on the right, and their most outrageous tweets are mostly meant to be taken seriously. Arguing that this tweet is proof that the left is more outrageous than the left is like saying that Fox news is a fair and accurate news source because they never printed anything as outrageous as [this](http://www.theonion.com/articles/tea-party-leaders-announce-support-for-deal-in-exc,34101/) [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/iso-right-wing-twitter-outrageousness/680135.md?page=1)
