Happy Columbus Day. Thank goodness for the determination of all bold explorers and innovators—yesterday and… fb.me/20vpHBOEq—
Sarah Palin (@SarahPalinUSA) October 08, 2012
That’s it, just a few words about a legitimate national holiday — which of course was more than enough to generate frothing at the mouth from the darker corners of the Twitterverse.
@SarahPalinUSA its easy to see why the Native Alaskan tribes hate u. You're an idiot just like Columbus.—

Suits you right to celebrate land theft and murer :3 MT @SarahPalinUSA Happy Columbus Day. Thank goodness for determination of all explorers—

Say it with us now: “Murder, M-U-R-D-E-R, murder”. If you must insult, at least do it in proper English.
@SarahPalinUSA Columbus was an ethnic cleanser. He killed many, many ppl. When are you celebrating Hitler Day? You're a Hillbilly idiot!—

@anamariecox @SarahPalinUSA In Columbus' day, Palin would have been one of the ones claiming the earth was flat and burning people at stake.—

Yeah thank god for Columbus @SarahPalinUSA. If he didn't kill all those Natives I wouldn't know what the fuck I'd be doing now—

Really? So, Palin Derangement Syndrome was just about Columbus Day? I guess that settles that.
Also, there was this guy:
@SarahPalinUSA : if not for Columbus, how would syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, small pox and tuberculosis have ever crossed the ocean? .—

Yes, it’s just a standard-issue hate tweet by a purple egg — but in this case it was tweeted 46 times (we counted), sometimes with strings of numbers and extra punctuation to avoid spam filters.

Michael (@neonblueclock) October 08, 2012
