Twitter Hijacks #NeilYoungLies Thread w/Hilarious Results

If someone needs an explanation of the Twitter process and what hijacking a thread is, reply and I'll explain.

Someone started the hashtag NeilYoungLies (and a website) to claim he was lying about the tar sands oil in Canada. Of course, decent Canadian folk couldn't allow that to go unchallenged so they hijacked the thread. There are more examples at the link, but here's a few.

Here is the initial thread establishing the hashtag. I'm pretty sure this is brought to you by Koch Brothers, Inc.

"Down by the river, I shot my baby dead." Neil Young has NEVER been found guilty of murder. Who is he covering for? #NeilYoungLies

"Old man take a look at my life, I'm a lot like you were." Neil Young was JUST 27 when he wrote that. What else is he hiding?

Trashes our resource economy, yet claims to be a miner for a heart of gold. #NeilYoungLies


Go Neil!!! You must be getting under someone's skin. The Koch Brothers don't spend money to trash just anybody.
