A great "Twitter" about CPAC

[NYCGirl]

Mike Madden (Salon.com's Washington Correspondent):

"Ron Paul just got applause at #CPAC for complaining about U.S. involvement in World War I."

[Oregone]

1. Who fuckn cares. Die, die, die Twitter.

[NYCGirl]

3. Bitter much? NT

[Oregone]

4. Only when it comes to the stupidest fuckn "innovation" in communication.

I hope Twitter chokes on a fucking packet and dies.

[NYCGirl]

6. Yeah, this interweb machine will never catch on. NT

[JuniperLea]

7. Leave the InterTubes out of it...

Twitter is a neurotic tool, and it spreads its own disease.

[NYCGirl]

8. Aw, so sad. NT

[JuniperLea]

9. You could always agree to disagree...

:shrug:

[NYCGirl]

11. You say "neurotic" and "disease" and I'm supposed to shrug and agree to

disagree? If you said, "oh, it's not for me," I could see that.

[JuniperLea]

15. Would it have been better had I said...

IMHO... blah blah blah?

[NYCGirl]

19. No. NT

[JuniperLea]

20. Hahah!

So, I'm not allowed a differing opinion. Cool... I guess.

[NYCGirl]

21. And I'm allowed to say, "Awwww. So sad." when you use words like

"neurotic" and "disease." See how that works?

[JuniperLea]

23. And I would have felt better about it

Had you said, IMHO awwww, so sad.

I was trying to be nice here.

I still have my fingers.

That's nice.

[Oregone]

26. No. The fewer the words the better.

Actually, join me at Shitter.com. There, we throw "shits" at each other. "Shits" are 30 character strings, which require an adjective that relates to smell to be included in each one.

"CNN is rotten today"

"What a rancid idea"

"Intellectualism is decomposing"

[originalpckelly]

16. There is a difference between a system that facilitates communication...

and a system that seeks to take basic human interaction and turn that into an opportunity to advertise to someone.

[JuniperLea]

18. Not to mention...

It appears that this is adding to the addiction of many... I could spit every time I hear someone say, "I need to get home and see where so-and-so is posting right now!" Ugh. I would feel like a freaking stalker!

[Oregone]

24. You're over your 140 character limit.

[Oregone]

27. Twitter has caught on. The world is stupider because of it

[burythehatchet]

13. you may want to tweak the dosage a bit

:scared:

[Oregone]

25. Thats the problem. Im not medicated like all the normal idiotic Twittering Americans...

Twitt-merica, home of the stupid.

[Baikonour]

22. Attack of the luddites! N/T

[Lex]

12. Hahaahaa!

:rofl: Get off my lawn, you damn kids, with your Tweezers!!!11

[Oregone]

28. Get off my lawn?

That what old people say...Im a young Comp Sci grad who spends a good deal programming web applications

But even I recognize stupid when I see it.

Sorry. Im over my character limit.

[Lex]

31. sad

old before your time

[Oregone]

35. Wow...23 characters, thats a sweet "shit" you sent my way.

[NeedleCast]

29. Exactly!

Except in the case of Twitter, there's no lawn, and no damn kids...just Luddites shaking their fist.

[Oregone]

30. I think the only fist shakers are those bewildered at how this "movement" is playing to the lowest..

common denominator in our society, and watering down culture & information even further than the conventional media (which has, for the most part, hijacked it anyway). Fortunately, amidst all the "tweets" (which I would hardly mistake as a valuable exchange of information), there is at least a lot of money to be made from ad revenue. So while you are all a twittering (or rather, proving exactly how fucking stupid you can strive to be), you can rest assured that at least some people are making a mint off it all.

[Lex]

32. you don't get to decide what is a "valuable exchange of information"

and that's what is great about the internet

[Oregone]

36. I can decide any damn thing I want...

Because after all, you are defending Twitter, a medium of anti-intellectualism. I am giving it too much respect by telling it to merely 'fuck off'. I owe it no explanation, nor could I condense one into the maximum amount of characters anyway. Good fucking riddance Twitter. Die already.

[Lex]

37. Twitter sure does control your emotions

LOL

[Oregone]

39. Rather the opposite...

I feel no obligation at all to control or tailor my emotions when talking about such a piece of shit service (Twitter), the piece of shits bits of "information" on it (Tweets), and the idiots that use it (Tweeters). I feel rather emotionally liberated, to be honest.

I should buy one of those "Tweakers Suck" bumper stickers and take a marker to it.

[Lex]

40. even further proof of it dominating you

nt

[Oregone]

41. Nice short message there...

A master Shitter we have here in our midsts.

[Lex]

42. ?????

are you counting characters and words now?

[Oregone]

43. Twitter is the octo-mom of the internet

[Lex]

44. That must be a "valuable exchange of information"

that I've been hearing so much about.

[Oregone]

45. Shouldn't society be weary of any medium o communication, which Bush's...

lack of attention span wouldn't detract from his participation?

[NeedleCast]

34. Yeah because despite the fact that there are many pratical uses for it

and that many liberal groups have used it to promote liberal causes and candidate, we've got Luddites like you who hate it simply because it exists and you don't understand it. There's no difference between you and the 1950's conservatives who were telling us how Rock and Roll music was going to be the death of American values.

This OP is a perfect example. Here's some Ron Paul conservatives out there exposing what clueless buttholes they are, and your response is to attack the medium used to expose it.

[Oregone]

38. "you don't understand it"

Prove that I don't understand it. Its not that complicated. In fact, its probably the least complicated web 2.0 deal to come around in a while, and that attributes to a bit of its popularity. News anchors like Rick Sanchez master it, and my feeble mind cannot even grasp this piece of shit medium? Are you kidding me?

"your response is to attack the medium used to expose it"

Yes, and I will continue to attack this piece of shit service. Im elated to finally find something I can attack without using tact, intelligence, or proper english. Despite all my failings while hating Twitter, I still feel entirely too superior to stoop to ever using it, much less browsing it.

Even Jack Bauer thinks its inhuman to make his hostages read Twitter. Im not about to get on that train.

[DrDan]

2. that's hard to believe - these cretins love war - any war

[gratuitous]

17. As long as someone else is fighting it and paying for it

Nice to see, though, that they're trying to rope in the Paultards. It's gotta feel real lonesome being a conservative about now.

[NYCGirl]

5. And another from the great Oliver Willis:

"apparently joe the plumber is top draw at cpac. cons, you are sooooo screwed. thanks!"

[sufrommich]

10. Judging by the look of the crowd at CPAC, a great many

of them were there and remember it well.

[Lex]

14. Those dinosaurs still bitter about that?

Sheesh . . .

[ellie]

33. Wonkette

had a great post about McCain twittering. Absolutely hilarious!
