Right Wing Terrorists Trying To Spam Twitter With Hate


Right wingers are planning to tweet-bomb the @whitehouse on Twitter this week, with a flood of messages from many hatriots demanding that Obama fire the "Czars" that Glenn Beck is so worked up over.

Read about their plot here. It may seem like simple free expression, but you can be sure their right wing PR machine is just waiting to pounce on this as some massive expression of public ire about Obama's team. Remember, everyone thought the Van Jones issue was silly, too. Well, he's gone, and now they want to target 30 more just like him.

THEIR PLAN is that they will all notify each other quietly by Direct Message (DM) when they are ready to strike. Then they will start tweeting their messages using the hash tags mentioned, and including any pressure tactics they think worth mentioning.
OUR PLAN We will watch for them, and when dozens of them start spewing their hate missives, thousands of progressives can demonstrate solidarity with the White House by tweeting POSITIVE messages to the same #hashtags they are using.

In so doing, we will also make it clear to the emerging Hatriot movements that trying to force their views on our social media will be met with an equal and opposite force each time they try it.

1. I had a Faux Newser spring this on me today in conversation
They started out with they think there is a 'coming race war' black and white fighting each other and then morphed on to 'at least we are going to get rid of these czars Obama has'.

I was just stunned /a WTF? since it was totally non-sequitur.

This person is older, watches FNC (when I turned their tv on today it came up with FNC on. When we got onto health care their take was they were not for ANY govt run health care because we all would have too pay for it, and when I responded that their Medicare is a government program, and that I had paid for hers when I had a job through payroll deduction, they were stunned.

Then in a continuing ramble she went on that Schwarzenegger should not be governor of anything here since he was born foreign. I just said nothing to that. Not sure why she brought it up or where she thought I would take it. Probably wanted to get me onto Obama's birth certificate? Sounded like a birther warm up now that I think back to it.

4. Race War?
How very Manson. Or neo-Nazi (i.e., the Turner Diaries). Either way, fantastic company, no?
