Really? Seriously? That is a real tweet from a real account? If you missed it, conservative talk show host Erick Erickson shot holes in a New York Times’ anti-gun editorial.

And as we can see, the Left is not taking it well.
2015's stupidest tweet https://t.co/OBTIaPcA8k

It’s definitely the leader in the clubhouse.
So much stupid packed into 140 characters. https://t.co/8H5MkaWQLz

Liberal logic. Destroying one's own newspaper is the same as destroying an ancient city. https://t.co/i3nMF8LNlA

Serious question: how did you think this was a serious question? https://t.co/RIT9NqCS5N

This is a parody account, right? https://t.co/F5F3T159Jj

Unfortunately, no. And it proceeded to dig a deeper hole for itself.
Point we were making re Palmyra was there are those so threatened by ideas that they'll seek to destroy physical representations of them

And deeper.
Obviously, the impact of those actions are different. But the impetus behind both events? Very similar.

And that's the last we're going to say on the subject.
— Catholic Democrats (@CatholicDems) December 6, 2015
Oh good. Except… there’s more.
But actions like Erickson's send a specific message – destroy the idea – and that's dangerous, in our view.

Not sure what's worse, hipster trollery or RW trollery.
— Catholic Democrats (@CatholicDems) December 5, 2015
Oh, the old blame “right wing trollery” for a tweet we made routine. How original.
Only good news about our Palmyra tweet being picked up by RW is it allows us to know who to block.

We’re sure that will break many heats.
