Awww, she misses us! Lucky for Wonkette founding editor Ana Marie, we’re givers. How could we not be after she writes something this stupid?
Huckabee’s image of Obama as a snake charmer—now “the snakes are running all over the world”—is racially…provocative. #CPAC14

The walkback is something, too:
Guys, there’s a reason I said “racially provocative” and not racist! It’s not racist, it’s just a meaningful choice, conscious or not.
— anti-fascist is good (@anamariecox) March 7, 2014
Serious, you guys.
@GeorgiaWowie thanks, my best 140 attempt: it’s the kind of unconscious choice that further ingrains the idea that Obama is “foreign.”
— anti-fascist is good (@anamariecox) March 7, 2014
Derp.
Gah, snake charmer thing: just another example of portraying Obama as foreign and of suspect religion. But continue. TWITCHY HERE I COME.

OK, Ana Marie! We heard you. Geez. If it’s attention you want, we’re more than happy to give it to you. After all, the public deserves to know how mind-blowingly ridiculous you are.

@anamariecox there is only one reason to even invoke the word "racially" into a completely non-racial statement. #fantheflames

Advice: If you think "black person" when you hear "snake charmer," you might be a raging racist. cc @anamariecox

When I hear "snake charmer," I usually think of 7/11 and Dunkin' Donuts. @RBPundit @OrwellForks @anamariecox

@RBPundit @anamariecox Huckabee was also wearing a "White" shirt….Hidden meaning?

@RBPundit @Bookwormdearlor Hey, @anamariecox If you can hear the dogwhistle, then YOU are the racist – that's how dogwhistles work.
— Aaron Henager (@AaronHenager1) March 7, 2014
.@anamariecox That's because snake charmers traditionally belong to a different race than the guy who made the comparison. This is easy!

Oh boy …now she’s really in trouble!
.@anamariecox there has to be a valid explanation beyond your cultural, racial, and religious ignorance.
— Savannah (@thesavvy) March 7, 2014
@anamariecox you're still wrong. And ignorant.
— Savannah (@thesavvy) March 7, 2014
@anamariecox You are better than this.
— S D Winkler (@sdwinkler) March 7, 2014
Except no she isn’t. She is, however, on Twitchy.
You’re welcome, Ana Marie.
