CNN: Conservatives Have Upper Hand on Twitter
NewsBusters ^ | August 21, 2009 | P.J. Gladnick

There is no big mystery about Twitter. Anybody with access to the Web can use it. In fact, just to keep things in perspective about this CNN Political Ticker story on how conservatives somehow have the upper hand on Twitter, be sure to watch this video of Ben Stiller explaining the "glories" of Twitter to a skeptical Mickey Rooney. Here are some of Rooney's classic remarks about Twitter in response to Stiller's explanations:

"Do you find this fun and interesting?"

"I don't find that entertaining."

"How do you get caught up on Tweets?"

"Can children do it?"

Kill it before it kills fascism.

CNN knows the agenda.

The Left has the White House, Congress, the major news networks, all but one cable news channel, PBS, NPR, all the national and major metropolitan newspapers, and the motion picture industry. We have part of the Internet, talk radio and Fox. So I think even if we take over and dominate Twitter, the playing field still won’t be near even.

It’s about time.

And, thank me. ;)

To all the weak-stomached, oh-so pragmatic conservative ‘nice-guys’ who poo-poo internet activism and raising our voices in opposition to the left I say TOLD YA SO!

Expression passion for your values is not a bad thing for conservatives or any American, contrary to what you might here from the beltway dolts. It is very American and very necessary if we plan to remain free. Doing it online is a very effective means of communicating and furthering our cause(s).

Fight them!

Birds do it, bees do it, even Nancy Pelosis do it.

Nancy Pelosi, so horrifying that even the thought of her unofficial Twitter page is obscene.

Even at my loneliest, I wouldn't read her statements for companionship. Opposition research, horror, laughs--but not companionship.
