Here's something lovely from the land of Twitter. Thank you Thomas Wellborn for posting it on Alan Combes blog.
Here's the original tweet screen from google cache. (Sorry I'm not technically savvy enough to just include the image.)
For those of you not inclined to open the link, here's what the tweet says:
We should do to the LIBERALS, what Hitler did to the JEWS... Give them the chance to RENOUNCE Liberalism, if they do not, send them to ovens
He scrubbed his original tweet and, in a move only a victim-mentality Teebagger can do, has completely defended himself, calling it "snark" and "pulling an Ann Coulter."
Geddit? It was just a joke! Can't you libtards take a joke? Ha ha! The Holocaust was such a riot! Fuck you, stupid libtards!
I know it isn't hard to find fascists on the Internet. I also know that men like this don't feel remorse or shame. He's proud of what he said. No amount of indignant tweets is going to embarrass him.
But this is just yet another example of the violence towards progressives that I see more and more everyday. So I feel the need to shine a light on the ugliness I see oozing from the radical right. Probably nothing is going to happen to people like him, ever, that will make them change their minds. But if I fail to speak out, it just makes it that much easier for those who really want to throw us in the ovens to buy the fuel.
