Tweet from Cher over Mitt's birther comment

[nolabear]

26. To the grammar police: Cher is dyslexic. And if she wasn't you'd still be bullies.

I hate, hate, HATE the piling on of everyone who thinks it's more important to say "Look how smart I am and how dumb they are!" than to actually pay attention to content and intent of communications.

I teach writing, among other things. If I treated any aspiring writer the way some people here treat anyone who says something with poor grammar or spelling, or makes any kind of mistake, no one would ever improve. But they'd be shamed, all right, and wouldn't that be brilliant of me?

Hell, I make mistakes. I make big mistakes. Everyone does. I even enjoy a mistake when someone is being an asshole and steps in it really well by being a "moran." If I was on the Romney side I might snark a little about the misspelling. But it wouldn't make the world go 'round any better. And I hate it when it obscures why we're here.

Mini-rant over.

And she's right. Romney's mighty white.
