Sarah Palin took to social media Friday to bash the Obama administration for using hashtagging tweets as foreign policy, a likely jab at first lady Michelle Obamas photo lamenting the kidnapping of more than 200 Nigerian schoolchildren.
Diplomacy via Twitter is the lazy, ineffectual, naïve, and insulting way for Americas leaders to deal with major national and international issues. Its embarrassing, the former Alaska governor wrote in a Facebook post. Under Barack Obama, Hillary Clintons State Department repeatedly refused to recognize Boko Haram as terrorists despite their conventional, predictable Islamic terrorist rants, training, and mission. Now, in a life or death situation, nearly 300 kidnapped Nigerian girls are in the hands of these terrorists awaiting rescue.
And what is the Obama administrations weapon of choice in this battle for these young girls lives? Hashtagging tweets on social media! she continued.
The Facebook post is accompanied by a photo of an unidentified man, whom Palin calls a patriot, pictured holding up a sign of various derisive Twitter hashtags such as #HashtagsWillNotBringYourGirlsBack and #StopLazyInternetActivism.

She did the responsible thing. She did, for the first time ever, blacklist three leaders of the group and the State dept and others created individually specific punishment like sanctions. Give it a rest Palin.
