One Woman Sarcastically Says “Hail Satan,” Entire Right Wing Goes Into Crazy Freak-Out Mode
Thanks to Texas State Republican Rep. Scott Sanford’s moronic tweets claiming that pro-choice demonstrators were chanting “Hail Satan!” yesterday at the Texas legislature, conservatives all over the US are in a frenzy of religious fanaticism today.
Folks, this is the 21st century, but you sure wouldn’t know it from the way these people are reacting. The #HailSatan hashtag is now trending on Twitter, and here’s a small sample of the sheer insanity pouring out of the anti-choice religious right. Some of them actually believe the #HailSatan hashtag is going to summon the Dark Lord to bring about the End of Days.
These people are, not to put too fine a point on it, nuts.
(For the record, this whole thing apparently started when one demonstrator sarcastically said “Hail Satan” to an anti-choice kook, who filmed it and spread it to the usual sources, falsely claiming that the whole crowd was “chanting” the phrase. In other words, a perfectly typical right wing fake outrage, with extra Satanic seasoning.)
Pro-abortionists chanting #HailSatan is sick, but has there ever been a more awesomely forthcoming political display by Democrats?

God commanded “Thou Shalt Not Kill.” It’s as simple as that. Oppose abortion. Do not #HailSatan as the liberals do.

Dem protesters chanting #HailSatan at singing of Amazing Grace. You cannot make this stuff up can you?

I’m pretty sure Satan said #IStandWithWendy I stand with God and oppose abortion. What side are you on? #HailSatan #Hb2

Well, now we know that the “spooky dude” directing modern progressivism isn’t Soros, but rather Satan. #HailSatan and #MurderTheChildren.

Chanting Hail Satan in support of this modern day genocide. I guess that makes Gosnell the Anti Christ. #tcot #HailSatan #OpSLAM #ocra
