I am in need of a specific meme to rebut one I just saw on FB (knew it would happen soon enough, and

I just saw it:

Never Forget
11/16/12
Superimposed over a cupcake and a twinkie.

Unsuspecting souls would just click "like" and pass it on.
Turns out, it is put out by For America, whoever that is. The friends who like this organization are all right wingers or evangelical or at least many of them seem to be. The words below it (real small) mention "union thugs". I need a real succinct rebuttal that I can make a meme photo out of...Need ideas! Anyone want to throw ideas out? Passions for the twinkie, ding dong, etc run high period and it's a perfect thing right now for the FB crowd, so I wan't to rebut this one quickly. Ideas? Thanks!

Underneath the "RIP TWINKIE" image is "Hostess...killed by Union thugs." or something similar to that.

She immediately removed it.

However, yes, many people will likely shar without reading nor checking into who ForAmerica is.

Sorry I cannot help, but I can tell you that your suspicion is happening...
