Oh dear.
Tweeters were rightfully outraged at Sacramento Dem official Allan Brauer after his disgusting tweets about Amanda Carpenter and her children. Unfortunately, many of them misdirected their anger at an unsuspecting man:
This morning: hate speach from @allanbrauer to @amandacarpenter then thousands of misdirected tweets toward @allenbrauer (go #Navy)
— Michael Hensley (@evang_michael) September 20, 2013
Indeed. Here is Allen Brauer’s Twitter bio:
Spelling is very important.
.@allenbrauer is a great American. @allanbrauer, not so much.

Several people apologized for their mistake:

@allenbrauer Omg. I mistakenly tagged you in a tweet. I'm so sorry. Deleting now.
— Emily (@txgril) September 20, 2013
@allenbrauer …apologies for a misdirected tweet. I deleted it as soon as I saw your name has an "e", not an "a" in it. Sorry.
— Karl Quick (@KarlQuick) September 20, 2013
Yahoo News’ Chris Moody apologized as well:
@allenbrauer I put the wrong handle in that last tweet. I am so sorry if your feed is getting clogged up!
— Chris Moody (@moody) September 20, 2013
And took his contrition a step further.
Saying for the record: I owe @allenbrauer, the guy I mis-ID'd in a tweet about @allanbrauer, a drink.

Nice.
