The Political Carnival: Anti Glenn Beck activist gets Twitter death threats, slurs
Seems like these "Freedom Lovers" only want freedom to express opinion for themselves..
This is what it's like for activist StopBeck when he tries to "stop" Beck:
One: (See attachments)
Two: (See attachments)
For the record, @vatopdog also started harassing me today, but I blocked him immediately. He called a few of us "self-hating haters", whatever that means, which was so laughable that I didn't take him seriously...
... until StopBeck contacted me with these tweets.
Twitter would not delete the account, even after StopBeck lodged a formal complaint. They said it wasn't "specific enough".
The level of hostility and hatred is out of hand. It started to rev up over the summer with the gun-toting, screaming, out of control Tea Tantrumers at town hall meetings. It has crescendoed ever since.
How can there be any expectation of achieving any sort of rational communication when wingnuts such as @vatopdog persist in drowning out civil discourse with outright threats, slurs, bigotry, hate speech, racism, and extremism?
StopBeck asked my advice. Here is what I told him: I've had some degree of success by calling these nutcases out, exposing them, and letting as many people as possible see what and who they are. If we turn our backs, they will continue their despicable behavior unabated.
He agreed.
We have try to to put the fire out, or at least control it, or it will continue to spread.
