This NRA Tweet Is So Tasteless and Awful That It Makes Me Want to Vomit


Good afternoon.

How are you? How are you feeling? Are you feeling good? Are you, by chance, feeling too good? Are you flying too high on borrowed wings? Maybe you need a bit of a punch in the stomach to bring you back down to Earth and remind you that in life there are hills and valleys; that this vacation on Creation is, well, not all champagne and strawberries. I guess what I’m asking is, would you like to feel nauseous? You look to me like you might like to feel nauseous. C’mon! A little nausea never hurt anyone! It builds character!

Let’s get nauseous!

This comes via the New York Daily News, which doesn’t mince words:

Hitting a new low in its disgusting war against gun laws, the National Rifle Association on Thursday went after Gabby Giffords with a personal attack mocking her 2011 shooting dismissively.

Have a nice day.
