This is a twitter hashtag series created by Lizz Winstead.
Lizz, as her Twitter bio points out, is co-creator of The Daily Show and a political satirist (which is what TDS is all about).
Anyway, she's got some gems which I thought I'd share, and I just love the idea of fooling the teabaggers into staying home on November 2. We know some of 'em aren't too smart and just might buy it. ;-)
It may not be the best strategy, but it's sure good for some laughs.
Some of my faves:
Gay guys are grinding on you in the booth. #WordsToDiscourageGOPTurnout
You have to step over headless torsos #WordsToDiscourageGOPTurnout
There is a Mosque two blocks from your polling place #WordsToDiscourageGOPTurnout
There will be a spell checker #WordsToDiscourageGOPTurnout
Here are a couple I tweeted back:
You can't wear teabags
Voting is for Nazi Socialist Marxist Commies
poll workers are all gay
Ok Kossacks, you're the kings and queens of comedy. I know you can show Lizz a thing or two by coming up with some real whoppers that'll discourage the teabaggers from voting this midterm.
Have fun!
