FAIL: North Carolina GOP Mocks Tim Kaine For Lapel Pin Honoring His U.S. Marine Son
Democratic vice presidential candidate was wearing a Blue Star lapel pin.

Careful with that Twitter finger.

The North Carolina Republican Party, which boasts on Facebook of its “digital know how,” took to Twitter to call Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Kaine “shameful” for wearing “a Honduras flag pin on his jacket but no American flag” during his speech on Wednesday night.

Just one problem: It wasn’t the flag of Honduras, but rather the symbol recognized by the Department of Defense for Blue Star Families ― the families of those who serve in the military.

1. Stay classy, republiClowns.

Those are some vile folks.

[Person 2713]

4. I don't think they can ... Too tempting to whip up their stupid low EQ base

Yes they are vile I will agree with that

[obamanut2012]

2. k & r

[apcalc]

3. More proof that republicans are unable uninformed.

[workinclasszero]

8. Republicans are mindless rage machines

White rage and hate is what drives them.

[Soxfan58]

20. They chose

Not to be informed.

[lillypaddle]

5. The stupid it burns

[eShirl]

6. You can't expect the GOP to be familiar with either of those.

[LonePirate]

11. Good point. Republicans know nothing about having children serve in the military.

[AllyCat]

51. Right??

[Cha]

7. Their depths of dumbshiteness knows no bounds.

working!

[workinclasszero]

10. How low is the bottom Cha?

I hope to God America never finds the answer to that question.

[librarylu]

9. I noticed the president's lapel pin.

Did they have anything to say about that?

[C_U_L8R]

12. Know nothings.

Really. Republican dumb shits. They get upset when we call them stupid - and then they haul off and prove they are bigger morons than anyone could imagine. Duh.

[workinclasszero]

14. This is exactly the culture the right has cultivated

Mindless stupid rage machines that vote against their own self interests.

I hope the few republicans left that can still form a coherent thought will vote for Hillary and help us save America from the Trump monster.

[underpants]

13. Apparently North Carolina requires that your attention to details matches the level you had at birth

[Ford_Prefect]

44. The North Carolina GOP made that law and expects everyone else to follow it.

Most NC Democrats and other human beings disagree with that proposition.

[Princess Turandot]

15. They deleted the original but the reporter who spotted it..

retweeted a screen cap of it when he replied to their acknowledgement of the error. They're getting nicely cyber-smacked around. Creeps.

16. People are so quick to pull the trigger on Twitter

I love it when it's arrogant dumb ass republicans!

[downeastdaniel]

17. Just another ReThug confused by the facts...sad really...but inappropriate.

[George II]

18. Not only are they scum, they're ignorant and STUPID scum!

[4lbs]

19. Remember, kids, the first four letters of Twitter are what? .....

Precisely!

[NoMoreRepugs]

21. My uber-conservative cousin, Bank group CEO, CFO - Stanford graduate -

many years ago explained to me that Conservatives have their own FACTS and that they prefer them.

I swear to you that is almost exactly verbatim.

needless to say we seldom converse.....

[Cosmocat]

22. YEP

It really is hopeless to try to talk to them.

[workinclasszero]

24. It is useless for 90% of them at least

When they get "facts" from Limbaugh, Hannity and Fox "news" there's pretty much no hope.

They are brainwashed.

[maxrandb]

23. Idiots! It reminds me of this

Remember when the "Reich" was having a stroke because they thought President Obama had created his own flag, and it turned out that he was speaking in Ohio in front of a bunch of Ohio State Flags?

Priceless!

25. OMG!

How did I miss that one? Thanks for the laugh

[3catwoman3]

28. I had forgotten about this gem.

Thanks for the morning chuckle.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

27. Want to get away?

Ding ding.

[getagrip_already]

29. how much do you wanna bet....

That the surrogates keep repeating it. Trump may even say it himself.

Facts don't matter. What you say, and how often you say it, are people will hear.

[Mc Mike]

30. That was a perfectly good repug talking point,

and you ruint it. Ruint it.

[Moonwalk]

31. This is my favorite reply to their "correcting their mistake":

"If only we could let your mothers correct their mistakes." #DemsInPhilly

[workinclasszero]

34. LOL

[anoNY42]

32. Wow, not even close to the Honduran flag...

[Lady Freedom Returns]

33. Thank you GOP, for making this election a Dem. landslide.

They keep showing their IQ and nastiness, we keep to the issues and common sense.

[wishstar]

35. I have a Repub NC neighbor who still swears Obama has never worn a flag lapel pin

She is so brainwashed by right wing websites/Facebook/emails and refusal to look at Obama on TV that she will never be convinced he has ever worn a US flag pin- which he has for many years after that Vet gave him one. So I am sure she will now be ranting about Kaine being Un-American too. No amount of correction and truth telling ever seems to get through


She, like many right wingers I know who hate Dems and constantly stir up with their button-pushing irrational ranting, is an otherwise reasonably intelligent person with a beautiful home and yard and expensive cars who attends a conservative church.

[workinclasszero]

36. Brainwashing works

See: Joseph Goebbels or Fox news and Hate radio for the modern version.

[hibbing]

37. Don't forget the purple bandaids

What a vile group of people we are dealing with.


Peace!

[workinclasszero]

41. That pissed me off so much!

I will never forget that shit!

[Libby2]

47. Same here,

I'm still pissed!

[NurseJackie]

46. I remember this one ... disgusting.

[workinclasszero]

49. How these people can live with themselves

I'll never know

[nolabear]

38. When you fling shit just to find out you're flinging it into a fan.

[AlbertCat]

39. Our legislature is run by these bozos!

Isn't it grand?


Still, on the ground, nobody likes them. I don't know who's voting for these people?

[IronLionZion]

40. STDs were Trump's own personal Vietnam

and he went to military style boarding school so that's almost like the US Marines.

[MADem]

42. It's not like this is a "new" symbol, either.

It was the rare house where you didn't see that symbol in the window during WW2....and sometimes, you'd see the Gold Star as well, indicating a family member had died in the conflict.

Not surprising that a chickenhawk would not know this....

[kairos12]

43. Chickenhawk rethugs, no surprise about their misidentification.

[workinclasszero]

48. Economic draft...poor kids serve in the military

Buffy and Timmy Rebublican go to college and grow up to start the wars for the poor kids to die in or get maimed for life.

See in the republican world, it all works out in the end!

God bless america!

[mindfulNJ]

45. How long would it have taken

to research that pin before they tweeted??? What. The. Actual. F*ck.

[AllyCat]

50. Republican idiots!
