If you ever want to take the political pulse of America, just grab some popcorn and watch any twitter hash tag from the conservative right. For your reading pleasure I offer you the following sample of tweets from the left aimed at Glenn Beck’s Restoring Honor Rally.

I didn’t cherry pick these, I just scrolled down the list I had in my TweetDeck cache. Keep it classy libs. Free speech is a right, making a complete fool of yourself is purely optional.
