The fake, awful, sexist, and unfunny parody Pinterest account that Senator Rand Paul created in Hillary Clinton's name has been shut down. Paul tweeted a link to the page on Saturday in an attempt to poke fun at the woman who could be challenging him in the 2016 US presidential race, referring to the bogus account as "Hillary Clinton's new Valentine's Day Pinterest board." We dissected Paul's misguided, failed attempt at humor shortly after it went up. The stunt, which failed to pick up any real momentum on Twitter despite Paul's plea for the RT, didn't last long. Regardless of where you land on politics, it's tough to fault Pinterest for axing "Hillary Clinton." The parody account failed to identify itself as such, and none of the major social networks have much tolerance for impersonation. Hopefully Paul's team has learned a valuable lesson from this before the 2016 campaign season truly gets underway. Politicians just aren't very good at trolling. At least he stayed away from Snapchat.

And as a Hillary Clinton supporter, this offends you.
As a provider of information on Rand Paul's stupid actions and comments, this please me.
That's some funny shi'ite right there, I don't care who you are.
What is it about Paul that you find so objectionable? We may have common ground here. It could happen.
We used to be a land where we gave up our lives to protect our freedom. Now we give up our freedom to protect our lives.
I'm sure they have. You sure don't want to cross Hil-liar-y. You might find yourself in a re-education camp and placed under the care of "Nurse Wretched"
I didn’t find that “objectionable.” Au contraire, I find what Rand did to Hillary by setting up the fake account quite amusing. I continually find kids do some hilarious things on Facebook, like this one: Do you have any objections to messing with your friends a little? I didn't think so. Create a status update that goes something like this: Look who posts the most boring updates: http://facebook.com/profile.php? =73322363 Or, if you want to be nice, try this: Want to see my favorite Facebook friend? Click here: While the URL looks like any other normal link, it actually takes users to their own profile page. Imagine all the ways you can have fun with this one! Just be sure to click the 'x' on the link preview, or else your plan will be foiled when your friends see your profile picture and name pop up.
Offended your neo-con sensibilities? Don't worry,this "half-a-Paul" is no real threat to your icon,JEB.
Why is democracy held in such high esteem when it’s the enemy of the minority and makes all rights relative to the dictates of the majority? (Ron Paul,2012)
Jeb is not my icon, I am leaning towards Walker....but still looking around. You are however correct in saying, "this 'half-a-Paul' is no real threat." You will find agreement with your statement by clicking here to read: Rand Paul Doesn't Stand a Chance.
You're not fooling anyone Gat - you'll vote for whomever the Party tells you to vote for.
I don't NEED to FOOL anyone. I do whatever I damned well please....and I do it when I want to. I have done so since I went into full retirement in 1975.
Same here,but I am not optimistic. IMHO,nobody that isn't a bought and paid for neo-con is going to get GOP or media backing,so it will likely be JEB versus Bubbette!,and the global fascists win and American and individual freedoms lose.

You're a good little sheep. You'll do what the Party tells you to do.
I have never been arrested or received a ticket, have you?
Paul WAZ HACKED!!!

And now.. "all his Paultard are belong to us! Ha Ha ha!"
No, I didn't think that you found that objectionable. I asked what you find about Paul objectionable. I mean, it's obvious that you don't like the guy and you never have. But I'm not sure if this is because of your dislike of Paul, or that you enjoy goading his supporters. At one time, that WAS your favorite pastime. Just curious by the way. Those were fun days.
We used to be a land where we gave up our lives to protect our freedom. Now we give up our freedom to protect our lives.
I like Walker too. He and I don't share the same ideas on foreign policy though.

Rest assured, our boy gatlin is a goading goofball, par excellence.. If you, in turn, goad him back -- and challenge his authoritarian/socialistic politics, -- he clams up, and hides behind the bozo function. He's a phony... Just like misterwhite..
Yep, the multiaccounter has me bozoed also.
What's funny is seeing these two clowns pretending to ignore my criticism; -- while they somehow find a way to counter it, using somebody else as a posting dummy.
