Vile Tweets: Disturbing Comments from Real Twitter Users
Edited on Thu Jan-13-11 08:36 AM by Ian David
The Political Right Wing has been deliberately and irresponsibly stirring up hate by preying upon the naive and fearful. Here we document the results of this phenomenon - as literally seen daily on Twitter.

It's called Hate Speech and there is a lot of it from the "Tea Party" followers and other Right Wing extremists. Much of it is written thinking that only other haters will read it. This corrosive speech needs to be exposed before the actors can heed their better natures and stop. And for a civilized society to remain so.

So, meet your fellows who would yell "FIRE!" in a crowded theater. Folks who have not yet learned that, with freedom, comes responsibility.

1. anonymous tweets and emails makes them all so bold...
and anxious to put the worst of the worse trash out there. The one, that is clearly a threat to Obama, should get that little cretin a nice visit from SS.

5. They aren't aware of anything.
They think this passes as political commentary and not hate speech.


Anonymous hate speech is all they got...I bet a few of these were more than a little surprised by the visit they got from the men in dark suits and sunglasses.

3. I wish I hadn't clicked on that link.
Vile doesn't even begin to describe them. The person who put up this web page needs to go to Keith Olbermann's Twitter page, and check out the pages of the wing nuts who tweet him. OMG! There's enough material there to keep viletweets.com going for all eternity.
