For every tweet I saw that called for condemnation for the shootings or prayers for the victims or calls for calm and patience while the authorities sorted out what the hell was going on, there were another handful of tweets calling for the execution of anyone having anything remotely anything to do with this incident, the purging of Muslims from the military, catcalls at Obama for targeting people who bomb abortion clinics instead of hunting down "the real terrorists", and some that even I never want to think about again, let alone repeat, all the while proclaiming loudly their profound understanding on how the "terrorists" really think. Yeah, because I'm gonna take the word of people whose sum total of military experience is an all-night CALL OF DUTY marathon, followed by watching five BAND OF BROTHERS episodes in a row. - Steven Perez

Secondly, if you're crinkling your nose and wondering whether I'm talking about you, STOP, REACH AROUND THE BACK OF YOUR HEAD AND WHACK THE "I/ME" SWITCH UNTIL IT BECOMES DISENGAGED. I'm not subscribed to any wingnuts. NONE. There are people whose views are vastly different than mine, but these people have shown at least some depth in their lives that says that they don't use events as happened yesterday to call for the summary execution of every Muslim everywhere so they can be "safe". Wingnuts are pissy little cowards. I do not subscribe to pissy little cowards. So, no, if I am still subscribed to you, then it's not you. - Steven Perez

For that matter, and for future reference, if I have a problem with you, I WILL TELL YOU. Verbally speaking, I will walk right up to you and deliver a solid whack to your nose. You will not have to wonder if I am speaking about you - YOU WILL KNOW. Because that is how I am. [/rant] - Steven Perez

Heh, I never complained about it. - Scoble, Alex Scoble

LOL -- funny, assholes don't seem to like being called assholes either. Truth hurts, I guess. I'm with you, though, bud...I'll keep callin' the wingnuts wingnuts - because people with eyes to see and ears to hear can easily separate the intelligent (and genuine) conservatives (and liberals) from the fringe-ball wingnutters. - Prosey BUTTONS!

Wingnuts....heh. - Spencer

Hear hear! - Rene, Pro Button Pusher

I've seen two negative comments about my use of the word "wingnut" that I thought were directed at me. I never actually told the two people that they could bite me, but I think they got my point. If you don't like me, unfollow me, block me, ignore me, whatever. - ha3rvey (likes fritos)

One other thing: #tcot aficionados now win an automatic block from me. - Steven Perez

It's funny how wingnuts dislike being labeled, yet they are very quick to label others, the raving hypocrits. - Rene, Pro Button Pusher

Neocons, Christian Zionists, neo-Confederates, Kahanists, etc. are looking for any excuse to hate and commit genocide against more than a billion Muslims. Take a good look at Pamela Geller's Atlas Shrugs blog for the purest expression of this fanaticism and bigotry. "Wingnuts" is much too kind a moniker. - Sean McBride

Wait, Sean. Let me make sure I have plenty of Pepto Bismol first. - Steven Perez from IM

Steven -- some of these people are so disturbing that it beggars belief. I've learned to completely detach emotionally when reading them, while examining their insane rhetoric with as cool a head as possible. But sometimes I feel like losing it -- picking up their little gifts with gloves on and tweezers sometimes isn't sufficient protection. - Sean McBride

I went through that frustrating exercise last night - searched both #tcot and #forthood. Wingnut is a compliment to most of those idiots. - JCunwired
