Patton Oswalt Riles His Twitter Followers Up

Grade A trolling.

Any celebrity can troll their followers, but there's a certain art and finesse to riling up gullible followers that some lack. But not Patton Oswalt. The beloved actor took on right-wing extremists yesterday with a series of typical criticisms against FOX News and the like, but their composition is what is truly amazing. Read out of context, his tweets come off as some of the most horrifying comments ever—which of course only ignited more hilarious over-reactions.

For example, the tweet "Neggers out of government? Yes, please! (Sorry for any misspelling)" elicits a side-eye—but the preceding tweet reads "Why do right wing asshats want "Hollywood out of government," but don't want the Fred Thompsons or Arnold Schwarze." Brilliant. Read a few above and check out the rest on Oswalt's Twitter account.
