Many many (amusing and smart) responses to a Tweet by Grover Norquist

Post 167860 by DMelanogaster deleted for the following reason: Eh, we've already had a fair amount of discussion of No, Not The Good Grover's recent twittery dumbfuckery in the current catch-all US politics thread, don't need a new post just for him. -- cortex

They call it a "Silent Recall"

Post 167851 by haikuku deleted for the following reason: This is a blog post from a few years ago, with some updates -- the last of which was over six months ago.

If there's a longer, more interesting story behind this, feel free to post, and if you need some help, please don't hesitate to contact us, and we can help you work it out! -- taz

Post 167743 by dave99 deleted for the following reason: Single link Op/Ed is a problem at the best of times, but we've also had a ton of these "why do liberals/Dems suck so much?" and Left vs Liberal posts and ensuing fights, and probably don't need Round 100 of that. -- taz
