Or something.
Via Daily Beast:
OK, promoting a hashtag may not rescue those poor Nigerian girls. But it sure is superior to making fun of it.
Just when I thought there was nothing conservatives could say or do that would shock me, they proved me astoundingly wrong. It’s simply beyond any sense of reason or decency that some on the right would ridicule the efforts of people to use the hashtag #BringBackOurGirls on Twitter to raise awareness about the 200-plus girls kidnapped in Nigeria.
You would think this would be an issue that unites us all. But no. Instead, the same people who tell us they aren’t waging a war on women are now publicly demeaning actions taken to raise awareness about kidnapped schoolgirls. Perhaps they just want us to remain focused on Benghazi and don’t believe that young African women merit any attention?
First, we saw Rush Limbaugh mock Michelle Obama’s efforts to bring attention to the kidnapped girls when she tweeted out a photo of herself holding a sign that read, “#Bring Back Our Girls.” I guess Rush’s idea of appropriate activism is calling a woman he disagrees with a “slut” and “prostitute,” as he despicably did with Sandra Fluke.
Then Sunday on Fox News we saw a double-barreled assault on the hashtag activism by conservatives. First, George Will mocked the “Bring Back Our Girls” hashtag as an “exercise in self esteem.” He then ridiculed the First Lady’s hashtag photo with the comment, “Will the terrorists who see her photo respond: ‘Uh-oh Michelle Obama is very cross with us, we better change our behavior?’”
