I'm no fan of Chelsea Clinton obviously but the fake derisiveness to her tweet about asking if the Abraham Lincoln in a MAGA hat was Photoshopped is absurd.

So many on the right are pretending that Chelsea didn't know that Lincoln never wore a MAGA hat. So dumb - she clearly meant she hoped that the 2017 GOP FL event wasn't actually using that image as their logo and programme cover.

It's shite like this that makes it difficult to have an adult conversation.


Wholeheartedly agree.

I never assumed she thought Lincoln may have wanted to MAGA, but I do have a sense of humor and parody and irony and file her comment under "play stupid games."

To elaborate, for the meta-faux outraged in this thread: Chelsea acting as though Lincoln is some Caesar-god, the defilement of whom is blasphemy, deserves all of the shite that she received. And I always assumed it was just that--giving her shite.

It was a stupid tweet by Chelsea. Not because I think she does not know Lincoln never wore the MAGA cap.

I also don't think she was asking if the program cover was photo shopped.

I think she was trying to make a joke and draw attention to a political view with which she disagrees.

Stupid....because it left her the butt of her joke!

The media has made a living off of doing this to the right. The difference is the right is just having fun with this and having a laugh.

Many people still think Sarah Palin actually said she could see Russia from her house.

How do you know that all of these people responding to her tweet aren't just poking fun at her? Hell, my family does it to each other all the time.

Awfully damned presumptuous of you to assume that they weren't smart enough to realize that she's not really that dumb and they didn't want to just have a laugh at her expense.

I'd say you're being just as presumptuous about their intentions as you are confident of hers.

Wait, so we aren't taking people literally anymore? Wire tapped doesn't mean literally tapping the wires? Is isn't is unless you mean it like it is?

ETA: Or should it be, is DOES mean is even if you didn't mean it like it is?

So confused.
