Mark Waid, known for his work on comic books such as “Flash,” got really angry last night that some were criticizing Obamacare:
@MarkWaid Especially when Obama refuses to enact or enforce Obamacare.

@stockwell I have no idea what you're talking about, but if that's a knock on the law, you're barking up the wrong tree.

@joekeatinge Well, he IS Black.

@MarkWaid What an intelligent thing to say. I'm glad you used your complete vocabulary for that tweet.
— Judd Emerson (@juddemerson) March 12, 2014
@juddemerson Speaking of wasting time, instead of trolling, don't you have some treatment to deny a cancer-stricken kid somewhere? Buzz off.
— Mark Waid (@MarkWaid) March 12, 2014
@MarkWaid And let's face it: Obama *DOES* have a well-deserved "playing golf while Rome burns" reputation.
— Lonny Eachus (@eachus) March 12, 2014
@eachus Yeah, not like those workhorses in Congress! Man, THEY put in the hours, huh?
— Mark Waid (@MarkWaid) March 12, 2014
@MarkWaid Seems to me, voting against a law that is doing more harm than good is a pretty good thing to do.
— Lonny Eachus (@eachus) March 12, 2014
@eachus It's not a vote to repeal a law. It's a meaningless, futile, empty gesture that wastes time better spent coming up w/an alternative.
— Mark Waid (@MarkWaid) March 12, 2014
So a vote to repeal the law … isn’t a vote to repeal the law. OK then.
@MarkWaid Why, Mark? Do you know more people who were helped by Obamacare than hurt? Most people don't.
— Lonny Eachus (@eachus) March 12, 2014
@eachus You're pulling "facts" out of your ass. I know of 4.2 million people it helped–and counting. Including me and my family.
— Mark Waid (@MarkWaid) March 12, 2014
@MarkWaid Nope. I give to my local mission & also contribute to the American Diabetes Assoc. And I pay for my own insurance. #TheHorror
— Judd Emerson (@juddemerson) March 12, 2014
@juddemerson I pay for my own, too. Please lecture me again. That'll go well for you.
— Mark Waid (@MarkWaid) March 12, 2014
@juddemerson Seriously, asshole, who are you to personally attack me out of the blue? Proud of yourself? How much did that add to your life?
— Mark Waid (@MarkWaid) March 12, 2014
Because personal attacks are reprehensible, right Mark?
@MarkWaid Wasn't a lecture. Just responding to your juvenile response. But, you're the educated one. Love the comics, though.
— Judd Emerson (@juddemerson) March 12, 2014
@juddemerson Seriously, fuck off. Please never read my comics again. I don't need money from someone who attacks me out of nowhere.
— Mark Waid (@MarkWaid) March 12, 2014
@eachus @MarkWaid No offense, Mark, but don't think all that signed up are "helped". I'm one of them, and my premiums skyrocketed.
— Trumpster Fire, PhD (@damaged_inc) March 12, 2014
@damaged_inc @eachus Mine, too, but at least we can't be denied coverage now. If you've got a better fix, offer it up.
— Mark Waid (@MarkWaid) March 12, 2014
So he admits his health insurance premiums have skyrocketed, yet he still spouts off his disgust at those who pretty much told him this would happen.
Mother of GOD, does daring to say that some Repub Congressmen are hypocrites bring out the crazies.
— Mark Waid (@MarkWaid) March 12, 2014
Well, someone seems a bit crazy.

Hmmm … could be!
I have to sign off Twitter for a few days. I’m under attack by a conservative website. Sorry. Fans, I appreciate your support.
— Mark Waid (@MarkWaid) March 12, 2014
Waaahhhh.
People can’t f’ing read. FINE. YOU WIN. REPUBLICAN CONGRESSMEN, not all Republicans. Sorry I wasn’t clearer for the reading-impaired.
— Mark Waid (@MarkWaid) March 12, 2014
But if you really think that the best course of action is to emptily, symbolically vote uselessly for a repeal 50 times, check yourself.
— Mark Waid (@MarkWaid) March 12, 2014
With cooler head, I apologize. I thought the original tweet was clear, talking about congress. Apparently, it was not.
— Mark Waid (@MarkWaid) March 12, 2014
Some of his best friends are conservatives! Serious You Guys.
I have no beef with Repubs or conservatives. Some of my best friends. My issue was with R Congressmen who waste time w/empty gestures.
— Mark Waid (@MarkWaid) March 12, 2014
Sorry. This is my very first experience having a conserv website send thousands of attack dogs my way all at once. New ground for me.
— Mark Waid (@MarkWaid) March 12, 2014
Apparently the Website That Must Not Be Named issued “orders” or something.
@Brennanator I know. But I’m talking HUNDREDS, ALL AT ONCE. Not even responding to the actual language, just to a website’s orders.
— Mark Waid (@MarkWaid) March 12, 2014
Thank you, all who are coming to my defense. Again, it was pretty clear I was speaking about Congress. Or so I thought it was.
— Mark Waid (@MarkWaid) March 12, 2014
And I’m having an especially lousy day, so feel free to keep saying nice things to me. I have no beefs with Repubs. Just with Congress.
— Mark Waid (@MarkWaid) March 12, 2014
I have no regrets for speaking my mind. And I’ll take the consequences for what I say. IF it’s actually what I said.
— Mark Waid (@MarkWaid) March 12, 2014
.@jtLOL @TwitchyTeam Correction: certain Repub CONGRESSMEN. Don’t let facts get in your way, though.
— Mark Waid (@MarkWaid) March 12, 2014
Can’t wait for all the afternoon death threats. Those’ll come soon enough, I’m sure. How dare I criticize Repub congressmen.
— Mark Waid (@MarkWaid) March 12, 2014
@TwitchyTeam Republican CONGRESSMEN. Not all Republicans. Sorry to fuck up your attack with facts.
— Mark Waid (@MarkWaid) March 12, 2014
Sorry to quote you verbatim, Mark. Oh, wait, no we’re not.
