All your hashtags are belong to us.
At the Netroots Nation gathering last week, progressives admitted they haven’t figured out how to push back against conservative Twitter messaging and lamented what they called the “Michelle Malkin effect.”

Looks like their “star-studded” nutroots powwow didn’t yield any bright ideas!
You know how #netroots talked about Conservatives ruling on Twitter? Check out #PissedAtPerry to see how right they were.@michellemalkin

Lefty abortion evangelists tried out this social media activism thingamabob again with the #PissedAtPerry hashtag. The femme-a-gogue Twitter push was an expression of their rage over pro-life Texas Gov. Rick Perry daring to call a special legislative session to give lawmakers a chance to protect the unborn from the screeching, undemocratic abortion mob.
Rick Perry plans another special session of anti-abortion legislating on July 1. Tweet at #PissedAtPerry to let him know how you feel.

Lefty hashtag narratives are hard. But conservative hijacking? Easy peasy!
#PissedAtPerry? Be pissd at the unruly and unlawful mob-led by elected officials -who shut down rule of law. Should face criminal charges.

#PissedAtPerry because we lied and say only problem w/ Gosnell was a need for clean/safe facilities and you called our bluff.

Because I've decided life begins arbitrarily at 24 weeks & anyone trying to limit abortion to 20 weeks or less is a monster. #PissedAtPerry

#PissedAtPerry because he's too dumb to know that life begins when the woman decides it. #science
