After suggesting Monday night that Republicans were stirring up fear of ISIS to sway the upcoming midterm elections, actor Wil Wheaton reacted to the pushback by lamenting that he’d “kicked a hive of stupid again” and told the “stupidsphere,” “I get it. You want to feel tough.”
Wheaton didn’t follow up much on followers’ objections that ISIS is doing a fine job of stirring up fear all by itself, but he did engage in some educational outreach, taking time to correct the grammar of a blogger with cerebral palsy.

.@wilw Congrats, you managed to correct the Twitter grammar of a kid with cerebral palsy. HIs Tweet was still more intelligent than yours.

@AG_Conservative I have Cerebral Palsy too. I once tweeted K. Olbermann, and he mocked my typo rather than debate. Seems common w/ them…

@AG_Conservative I even told him I had CP and typos happen. Instead of apologizing he blocked me. They rather ignore than admit being wrong.

Enough with the typos and back to the subject at hand.
Suck it up, Yazidis. Even @wilw knows ISIS isn't a threat. #whiners
