If you can’t beat ’em, join ’em! That’s the philosophy blogger RB is subscribing to today. Fed up with the media’s ridiculous double standards when it comes to documenting liberals and Dems behaving badly, he opted to acquire a (D) of his own, thereby rendering him immune from any and all criticism:
I've added a (D) next to my name. Now anything I do will be ignored by the media (or explained away.)

Obama is a jackass! (But it's okay… I have a D next to my name, racists.) #tcot #p2

Man, this is liberating.

Let's be real. Mrs. Obama does have a rather large can. (It's okay, though. I'm a Democrat. I can say this.)

It's OK, @Jim_Moran. I have a (D) next to my name (like you do). The media won't notice what I say (or they'll explain it away). NICE, huh?

Exactly. When you’re a Democrat, it’s totally cool to be “embarrassed” that your thugly son is following in your footsteps and beating up women. In fact, it makes you even more awesome!
Other conservative Twitterers are following suit and rejoicing in their newfound freedom:
@RBPundit you can't be racist. #thepowerofD

Isn’t it glorious? It’s like being reborn!
Great idea MT @RBPundit: having a (D) next to your name grants you immunity from being held responsible for hiring prostitutes and illegals.

Knock yourself out! And your girlfriend, too, while you’re at it. After all, you’re now shielded by your trusty (D).

Following the advice of @RBPundit, I'm adding a (D) to my twitter name. Now I can get away with all kinds of illegal shit!

@RBPundit Excellent idea. Just put a (D) beside my name. Now I shall proceed to "forget" to pay all my taxes.

@suziqleigh @rbpundit I can hire illegal immigrants, prostitutes, drive women off bridges.
— HouseRepEEE (@EEElverhoy) December 12, 2012
The possibilities are endless!
I like @RBPundit's idea. I'm going to put a D by my name so I can start pooping on stuff and the media will say I'm a hero.

Just hired a guy. Was going to ask his immigration status, then remembered, "Hey! I have a (D) in my name! No check needed!"
— HouseRepEEE (@EEElverhoy) December 12, 2012
@RBPundit: Look I just added a (D) after my name. I'm going to open a whorehouse and the media will say I'm a clever businesswoman.

I'd like to thank @RBPundit (D) for giving me the courage to come out as a huge lib. So free now! Also, pay up.
— Area Man (@lheal) December 12, 2012
I can now send young women pictures of my dick over Twitter and blame it on conservative hackers. And the media will nod and smile. #Hero

That’s right. Here, have a candy bar! You’ve earned it.
