Leftists threaten Romney
Posted by Richard on October 17, 2012
At Infowars.com, Paul Joseph Watson collected some of the more interesting tweets from the left after last night’s debate:
Despite numerous media outlets attempting to downplay the issue, Twitter exploded last night following the debate with new threats from Obama supporters to assassinate Mitt Romney if he defeats Obama in the presidential race.
As we reported yesterday, in addition to threats by Obama supporters to riot if Romney wins, innumerable Twitter users are also making direct death threats against Romney.
…
If the tables were turned and conservatives were making death threats against Obama in these numbers, it would be a national news story. Indeed, the mere act of hanging empty chairs from trees as a reference to Clint Eastwood’s RNC speech was hyped by the media as a deadly sign that conservatives were out to lynch black people if Obama won.
However, the major networks have remained completely silent on the disturbing trend of Obama supporters threatening to resort to violence if their candidate fails to secure a second term.
…
As Infowars has stressed, we are non-partisan and have encouraged people to vote for neither candidate. However, the hypocrisy of leftists in trying to either downplay or deny this issue altogether is jaw-dropping given how they routinely try to portray conservatives as violent and extremist by pointing to angry comments made online.
See the Watson post for a sampling of the threatening tweets and a link to many more.
In a way, this is encouraging. If significant numbers of leftist moonbats went berserk after the debate, that’s evidence that Romney won.

When did Infowars start reporting legitimate news? Well, I guess they can’t fill their website with anti-Semitic New World Order diatribes 24/7.
I doubt any of these people would prefer a President Ryan. That none of the quoted even brought that up shows how anti-democratic impulses and galloping ignorance go hand-in-hand.

Hey, don’t get the idea that I hang out there, I just followed a link. I know less about it than you do. But I know a little of Alex Jones’ reputation, so the time or two I’ve linked to him in the past, I’ve added a “take it with a grain of salt” disclaimer. I didn’t this time because I’m pretty certain those tweets actually existed and weren’t fabricated.
I’m afraid the “President Ryan” comment just whizzed right by over my head. What am I missing?
