So who are these unfairly maligned citizens, who, according to their website, are viewed as being worse than Genghis Khan?

Republicans. And they’d like you to stop bullying them just for being different.

The campaign, which was initiated by the Plano, Texas-based Glass House Strategies, encourages Republicans to post pictures on Twitter and Facebook of their bougie activities with the hashtag #ImARepublican.

"I've been called almost every awful name in the book on Facebook, it just seems sad that the angry discourse that happens in Washington, D.C., has just trickled down," the firm's founder, Vinny Minchillo, told The Huffington Post Wednesday. "It's a way for us to step back and say, 'Hey we're all people; Republicans walk among us; we do some things that you would not associate with Republicans.'"

and take power away from them. Yet they don't want to be judged themselves on their actual behaviour.
