When you’ve been dealt a bad hand, you can still play the race card. At least that’s the strategy liberals subscribe to. After Mitt Romney cracked a birth certificate joke earlier today, the Left experienced nothing short of a major meltdown. Bereft of any rational thought, they decided to birth a ludicrous hashtag game, #FutureMittJokes.
A handful miraculously managed to keep race out of it:
Hey don't blame me for going birther. I was just getting back at Trump for stealing my, "You're fired" line #futuremittjokes

Get it? Because Mitt’s a closet Nazi!
Conservatives weren’t about to let lefties get away with their garbage-spewing, and they fought back with good old-fashioned hashtag-hijackage:

#futuremittjokes Nobody ever accused me of wanting to "spread the wealth around." Except my own.
— Boviosity (@FlashHeart59) August 24, 2012
That’s right. Romney spreads his wealth around of his own volition.
#futuremittjokes Nobody has asked me why my party can't pass a budget.

#futuremittjokes Obama promises if reelected, he'll make sure to get at least 1 member of Congress to vote for his budget. 414-0 & 97-0

Pretty sure that’s a win, right there.
The hashtag war’s still waging, but we’re feeling good about the eventual outcome.
