New RW nut strategy to pull Mitt out of the crapper on Twitter right now.

A hash tag started called #ThingsThatOffendObama. Theoretically set up to push the Kenyan Muslin Syrian Benghazi fifth column traitor meme and billed by one as "the twitter wave that will win the election." Malkin is in the pile on.

I have no idea how to sink a trend on Twitter, but it is truly obnoxious.

Except people stupid enough to already be one of them. Their immature little tricks are unimpressive.

This just reinforces the point that Romney is petty, unprofessional, and ultimately irrelevant.

Don't reject the hashtag, embrace it. Make it your own.

Like so: Seeing people damaged by poverty #ThingsThatOffendObama

or humorous: Donald Trump #ThingsThatOffendObama

or anything your fertile mind can come up with.
