#apoemfordzhokhar: Greg Gutfeld, Twitterers destroy Dzhokhar Tsarnaev empathizer Amanda Palmer

Preach it, Gutfeld!

As Twitchy reported, “poet” Amanda Palmer wrote a poem urging empathy for Boston bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev. No, for reals.

Unbelievable. Yet, sadly, totally believable.

Twitter took Ms. Palmer and her depravity to task, and rightly so. Greg Gutfeld destroyed her, as only he can, and he needed only a few tweets to do so.

I'm anxiously awaiting an @amandapalmer haiku on Hitler

Hey @amandapalmer – Any sestinas on Stalin? A ballad for Bundy? Come on: I sense a whole new career for you.

Ms. Palmer has been shrouding herself in a veil of victim-hood, natch.

ahhh, it's been a long time on since internet trolls yelled at me that i was a slut, a talentless whore and a hippy!!! welcome, friends!!

@amandapalmer The antagonizing by the closeminded never fails to bring the kindhearted&loving closer together. Their hate fuels our progress

AMAZING ZEITGEIST ALERT!! people are writing "hate poems" on the blog comments! i am so happy at this moment!!! #ART http://t.co/0nIAUNdMMa

Of course. The victims of the Boston bombing? Whatever! Ms. Palmer is the real victim here. For being so “enlightened” and such. Plus, ka-ching!

How the @amandapalmer's of the world work: 1 Sympathize w/ killers while families grieve. 2 Call *us* hateful when we push back. 3 Profit.

Unfocused adolescent attention-seeking. Get on record that her poem sucked then get back to ignoring @amandapalmer. Don't obsess, people.
— Neal Dewing (@Neal_Dewing) April 22, 2013

Since @amandapalmer is hoping outrage brings the attention her poetic abilities can't, please focus instead on how hackneyed her verse is.
— Will Antonin (@Will_Antonin) April 22, 2013

Ask, and ye shall receive. Other happy warriors pick up where Greg Gutfeld left off.

Who the hell is @amandapalmer and why is she writing poetry for a child-murderer?

@DrewMTips but don't forget the moral bankruptcy. @amandapalmer

Here I sit, broken-hearted / channeled @amandapalmer, but only farted.

@greggutfeld @amandapalmer You just don't get it / He never wanted all that / No one bought his art
— Jim Treacher (@jtLOL) April 22, 2013

If we really want to punish Dzhokar Tsarnaev, he should spend the rest of his natural life listening to @amandapalmer's poetry.
— Jim Treacher (@jtLOL) April 22, 2013

And now the Dzhokhar poetry has begun | The Daily Caller http://t.co/vH8iPS13gO Hang in there, @amandapalmer.

There once was a killer who hid in a boat / He tried to check out with a hole in his throat #apoemfordzhokhar
— Jim Treacher (@jtLOL) April 22, 2013

Enter hashtag #apoemfordzhokhar: And away we go!

Left was sad and dismayed / when truth was finally displayed / no sign of Tea Party drama / just tweets of love for Obama #APoemForDzhokhar

@jtLOL 2/2 Now crazies send poems / they don't even know him / but he would have blown up their ass

Once was a driver name Dzhokhar / with a shoplifting mother / and dead speedbump brother / his coexist ass didn't get far #APoemForDzhokhar

Keep them coming, Twitter. In case you need even more of a reason to push back hard, just dwell on this for a bit.

This is @amandapalmer. She writes poems for terrorists. We lose elections to people she votes for. Kill me. http://t.co/rl2oLbHVZ2
— Ben Howe (@BenHowe) April 22, 2013

Oh, the humanity. And some exit questions for Ms. Palmer:

If @amandapalmer was in a Boston hospital, looking at bloody stumps where her legs used to be, she'd have penned the same poem, right?
— CatsPolitics (@CatsPolitics) April 22, 2013

Huh. The Daily Caller’s “Jim Treacher” has another one:

I wonder if Palmer would’ve written a poem for this kid-killer if he’d been a boring ol’ Christian teabagger? Would that be alluringly exotic enough for her?
