Brian Glicklich, head PR man and spokesperson for The Rush Limbaugh Show recently wrote an opinion piece stating he is very upset about 'hate speech' on Twitter. Never mind that he's been representing the king of Conservative radio hate mongers. Glicklich is the bully, in front of the bully, who just last Fall released the private and personal information about some of the StopRush volunteers (their names, home addresses, phone numbers ) which a plethora of Republican/Conservative/Tea Party websites picked up. Who knows how many fanatics and Limbaugh Dittoheards now have access to that information. And these crazies have been calling, threatening and harassing the StopRush volunteers for months. That was you Brian. You did that. And now you're getting a taste of it, and you can't handle it? You don't like people calling you names? Cry me a river.
It's long past the time for a platform that offers an unmoderated voice to create more responsible methods to eliminate hate speech from software used by hundreds of millions worldwide, including vulnerable children, minorities and people looking simply to share their thoughts, not be shouted down with bullying and lies.
Did you really just say that? You think you're experiencing hate speech? Think about it some more, and how you have contributed to someone spewing it on a massive level, every day - for decades. Here is what hate speech looks like.
When your boss, Rush Limbaugh, implies homosexuals are 'pedophiles/child molesters,' it feeds into the hatred of the LGBT community. It sends a signal to derelicts that it's okay to mock, bully, and abuse those with a different sexual preference. Sometimes that leads to discrimination, hate crimes, teen suicides, and murder.
That is hate speech.

OP
Is what he really wants is a way to stop people from accurately describing him and his boss?
