You’ll Love Ann Coulter’s Funny Impression of Michelle Obama’s Hashtag Activism

Granted it’s not as intellectually arresting as George Will’s assessment of the relative merits of hashtag activism, but it’s pretty hilarious and make a great point about what individual Americans actually can do to make the world better. Hashtags won’t persuade a sadistic evil Jihadist, but showing support for a return to the principles that made America great is an individual effort.
