Heh. The Left really struggles with this Twitter stuff.

As Twitchy reported yesterday, many Obama voters struggled to understand why their first paychecks of 2013 were smaller. Generous conservatives even launched a hashtag to explain complex concepts like “math” to bewildered progressives: #WhyIsMyPaycheckLessThisWeek.

Heh. #WhyIsMyPaycheckLessThisWeek is trending. Tweet & @twitchyteam post that kicked it off=> twitter.com/michellemalkin… AND twitchy.com/2013/01/04/hop…

The hashtag trended for much of Friday, making it irresistible to Big Labor Obama apologists eager to put their left-wing spin on smaller paychecks and Obama’s broken promises. But oopsie! They tried to hijack the wrong hashtag.

Working America, an AFL-CIO allied organization, published a post titled “The Answer to #WhyMyPaycheckIsLessThisWeek (Warning: Contains Facts).” Yep, the “is” is in the wrong place in that hashtag. But that didn’t stop the geniuses at SEIU and AFL-CIO from rushing to promote the post.
