If you're not a follower of the "top conservatives on Twitter" (#tcot), you really missed out today. Here's how it started, before the ceremony even began:

Here's a burning question:
Will MSM give any coverage of protesters in DC? Doh? What am I thinking, MSM is so enamored w/O that showing real discent is bad press #tcot

The reviews of the speech itself—Nazi? Marxist? Fascist?
500,000 people on Capitol Hill screaming FOR the dismantling of our economy and rights.Looks similar to a Hitler rally #TGDN #NRA #tcot

Make no mistake... I don't give a f**k what color a MARXIST is ... invoking founders words in his empty screed... #teaparty #tcot #ocra

This speech is fascistic. Emphasizing his desire for government involvement shrouded in campaign slogans and catchphrases. #tcot #inaug2013

But the real capper, for it's sheer hypocrisy and idiocy:
That was just a political speech. Shameful. Missed an opportunity to bring nation together, @BarackObama. #inaug2013 #TGDN #tcot

The really bizarre conspiracy theories:
Obama's 2nd inauguration is also 2nd time it's 'fallen' on the MLK Day The 1st was Clinton's 2nd inauguration - Coincidence? #lmao #tcot

We think... RT @Gunnerguy1911: Look at the bright side - This is the beginning of the end of Obama's second term. #tcot

Barack Hussein Obama was elected
because of the color of his skin, and
despite the content of his character. #tcot #p2
