Pranksters Hijack GOP Web Petition Against ObamaCare

'Barf vomit' not a good look

(Newser) – A kind-of clever live Internet petition launched by the Republican National Congressional Committee to attack ObamaCare went embarrassingly awry when it was hijacked by pranksters, reports Wired. The "I want repeal" petition on Tumblr allowed users to "sign" the petition and watch their name "print out" on a video stream along with others. But the screen was soon frozen when odd signatures started turning up, like Jesus Christ, Barf Vomit, Luigi Mario, Una Bohmer and Joe Mengele. A spokeswoman for the NRCC wasn't prepared to comment.

Some funny name on those petitions.

Cons only brandish the Constitution when it serves their purpose. Otherwise, they ignore it like all our other laws they don't like.
