After “Obamacare” was upheld this morning, BuzzFeed published a list of tweets from angry folks saying they were moving to Canada. Oh, the irony! You couldn’t write a better joke! Right?
Actually you can, and at least half of those people were kidding.
In at least one case, the Tweeter was honest about wanting to move to Canada, but for entirely different reasons.
At least 8 of the 17 were definitely kidding. But at least three (clovesya, sketchnick, and Tshopz10) have deleted their accounts today. The remaining 6 may be serious, but then there’s the possibility that they’re trolling.

Nice job ripping this entire article off: http://twitchy.com/2012/06/29/buzzfeed-uses-liberals-tweets-to-portray-conservatives-as-stupid/
Come on now, Chris. If you talk the talk, at least walk the walk.

That article was created after this one. You should check the post dates before making accusations next time.

If it’s true that GameOfScones is a BuzzFeed employee, I bet it’s Matt Stopera. If it were me, I know I’d be lashing out at anyone with a critical word after that article Gawker put out.
