Smart set wrongly claims Twitter not for serious politics, mocks ‘non-serious distractions’

Oh, the Twitter police! It is especially hilarious coming from an incessant tweeter. We can’t fathom the hubris it takes to mock others for wasting time on Twitter … while tweeting incessantly.
@dmataconis just trying to reconcile your disgust with wasting time on Twitter with your apparent occupation of wasting time on Twitter.

I have to say, @AceofSpadesHQ has a point @dmataconis. 185,000 tweets later, where's your authority on wasting time on twitter?

@dmataconis if you want to pose as a Serious Thinker Concerned With Serious Things, here's an idea: Maybe stop wasting time on Twitter, eh?

It is also a case of Smarter Than You (TM).
@KurtSchlichter No I just don't like stupidity or the idiotic #War mentality @ThePantau @red_red_head @jaycaruso

@OneFineJay I don't think they're important at all. I just laugh at the wankers who think they're being political @jaycaruso @Wittorical

Having fun while trying to defeat Leftist false narratives isn’t serious enough for some, you see. We silly rubes need to grow up and learn how to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. That is what smart people do.

@jaycaruso @red_red_head You are correct Jay. At least it confirms that Twitter is not a serious political media outlet

@dmataconis @red_red_head That's not true. But it's also not C-SPAN. Fun is allowed.

Exactly. If we all don’t have some fun once in a while, we’ll end up curled up in a corner, weeping. And Twitter is not a serious political outlet? Really? Then why did Mitt Romney include Twitter the other day when discussing campaign strategy?
“We are behind when it comes to commentators on TV. They tend to be liberal,” Romney said. “Where we are ahead or even is on twitter and on the Internet.”
Perhaps the oh-so-serious thinkers should actually think once in a while. Or, you know, read up on things. Start with South Korea. Their elections may have upset wins due to what? That’s right. Twitter.
Americans on Twitter agree.
@dmataconis by assuming other people don't know as much about politics as yourself comes across as pretentious. @jaycaruso @Wittorical

@dmataconis @Wittorical @jaycaruso we'll have a few laughs, affect the zeitgeist a little, and keep being happy warriors. We'll win.

Bingo. When the media stops inventing narratives out of whole cloth in order to push Leftist political agendas, maybe we won’t have to push-back so hard. We won’t count on that happening and, in the meantime, we can have some fun while we’re at it. It’s called multi-tasking. We “non-serious wankers” are good like that.
Smarty pantsers need not apply. Just step aside and let the Happy Warriors take care of business. You’re welcome.
UPDATE:
Says the guy who was just PWNED on Twitchy. LMAO! RT @dmataconis Twitchy is still a thing people waste their time on?

Clearly you care, Doug. But why are you wasting your time on things you don’t care about? You know, like Twitter.
