Earlier today, Rep. Peter Hoekstra (R-MI) put up this astonishing post on Twitter, likening the oppression of the Iranian people to the plight of House Republicans
--snip--
In the hours since, the Twitter community has responded -- with massive heckling.
Here's the original tweet from Hoekstra:
Iranian twitter activity similar to what we did in House last year when Republicans were shut down in the House.
Here are a couple sample responses:
ArjunJaikumar @petehoekstra i spilled some lukewarm coffee on myself just now, which is somewhat analogous to being boiled in oil
ceedub7 @petehoekstra I got a splinter in my hand today. Felt just like Jesus getting nailed to the cross.
TahirDuckett @petehoekstra ran through the sprinklers this morning, claimed solidarity with victims of Hurricane Katrina
Republicans always claim that it is liberals and Democrats who relish their victimization, yet they are always the first to claim they suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune.
What a bunch of stupid schmucks.
