After Twitter shuts down GOP accounts impersonating Dems, party complains of ‘free speech’ infringements.

fail-whale Twitter has shut down 33 fake accounts created by Connecticut Republicans meant to impersonate Democratic state representatives. According to the Hartford Advocate, the GOP scheme was designed “to send out posts under the Democrats’ names mocking the liberal tax-and-spend bastards.” Twitter strictly forbids impersonation “intended to mislead, confuse or deceive others” on its site. However, the state GOP chairman is now complaining that Republicans’ “free speech” rights are being violated:

“That’s unfortunate,” was state Republican Chairman Chris Healy’s response when told of Twitter, Inc.’s decision. “I’m not quite sure what the issue is, other than that the Democrats were successful in stopping free speech.

Healy’s party may have suffered a setback with the loss of its Twitter campaign, but Republicans are still operating the 33 Web sites they created using the names of those same Democratic lawmakers. As far as anyone knows, this is the first time any state party has used such a tactic to mock its state opponents.

Healy is also claiming that Democrats are protesting the fake sites because they’re just jealous: “They didn’t think of it first, so that’s why they’re whining.” But political communications experts say that the sites are clearly unethical and “deceptive.”

    Republicans have no shame.

    The First Amendment reads:

    Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

    I don’t see in there where it says Twitter (as a private company) can not.

    Funny how those who scream loudest about having their constitutional rights trampled actually know nothing about the Constitution.


  4. A Patriot Acting says:

    It’s funny how many Righty elected officials have no clue what exactly the right to Free Speech actually means. The right to Free Speech is a right of the People to not be stifled by their Government not the other way around dimwits.


  5. zxbe says:

    To the GOP, lying is a personal right.


  6. Dr. Hussein Matt says:

    This is more proof that reich-wing terrorist hicks have zero concept of “Free Speech”.


  7. Lunaluz says:

    Lie, spin, lie, spin, and make some childish comment like a bully in a schoolyard.


  8. chrislvb says:

    This is fraud plain and simple. They are misleading and defrauding the constituents of their districts by pretending to be someone they are not in order to ridicule and defame the democratic party. This should be looked into for the legality behind it. Most websites have a terms of service agreement that must be accepted to sign up and normally the first is that none of the information given is to be false or misleading. I hope twitter presses charges and makes this a big story.

    I personally think twitter is a useless technology and a joke. I don’t care if someone is on the toilet or at the mall, but wrong is wrong. I wonder if Conn. has any laws in place to prevent those governing from doing this kind of thing.


  9. pags2 says:

    Healy has forgotten the saying “What goes around, come around.” Of course if the Dems had any sense they would be using these fake accounts and sites to cast aspersions on the honesty of the Republicans. If the Dems made that a big issue, the Republicans will have to explain to the voters or abandon the tactic.


  10. A Patriot Acting says:

    Sorry for the O/T but the version of the Healthcare Reform Bill currently going through Congress is now reported to include a repeal of the long standing anti-trust exemption that the industry has enjoyed for far too long. Nancy Pelosi announced this today that the measure to strip the exemption won approval today in a bi-partisan commitee vote.

    When I read this I thought of a Pee-Wee Herman quote.

    “I know you are, but what am I?”


  12. barfly says:

    No clearer example of how little republicans value free speech.

    To them, if it’s free, it has no value.


  13. lokidog says:

    Maybe it was that illiterate, wet brained buffoon Bush impersonating a president for the past 8 years that gave these pathetic losers the idea.


  14. missmolly says:

    Oh, give me a freaking break. The U.S. Constitution never intended for people to have the right to commit fraud, deceive, or mislead.

    Furthermore, Twitter can shut down whatever accounts it wants to. It appears they have a Terms of Service agreement that all their users must accept, and it was violated.

    If these goons are concerned about free speech, they can scream whatever they want to as long as it doesn’t violate any municipal laws about disturbing the peace. But no medium is obligated to provide the bullhorn.

    I wonder what other deceptive practices they believe they have a “constitutional” right to engage in? And I wonder where the bottom of the barrel is? Every time I think the GOP has reached it, it turns out to be just another layer of sludge.


  15. kayess says:

    Hurray for Twitter. Big difference between free speech and criminal intent. What a skanky bunch the Repubs have become.


  16. roxsteady says:

    Unethical and Deceptive? That does sound like the GOP but, seriously, what the hell is with these morons? And why would this idiot Healy think the Dems were just jealous because they didn’t think of it first? Why would a party with a huge majority in the House, Senate and the Whitehouse be jealous of a party that is 20% of the country? They really are stupid!


  17. kasinca says:

    Lying and cheating is all the wingnut party has. If they were required to be honest, they would fold up the tent and go home.


  18. Rosencrantz says:

    Since when is committing FRAUD considered free speech?


  19. Rich H says:

    Isn’t there some type of law of impersonating a public official? Or stealing someones identity? I’m sure something applys here – and should be followed through and prosecuted.


  20. Fred says:

    Maybe they can do like faux and sue for the right to lie. Seems to be what they want.


  21. raynman says:

    Amazing how the party that hides behind the Constitution was the first to throw it out the window the first chance they got…


  22. DNFP says:

    re #10 (and still O/T, sorry):

    Framing Health Care Debate As Battle Of Sexes

    Overall, women in America are poorer than men, their health insurance is less secure, and, until they reach their mid-50s, they typically pay higher premiums, sometimes much higher, than their male counterparts.

    A recent Women’s Law Center study found that 25-year-old women have been charged up to 84 percent more than their male contemporaries for individual health plans that specifically exclude maternity coverage.

  23. roxsteady says:

    This just isn’t the GOP’s day! There’s a story over on TPM about a North Carolina Republican state Senator who brought a wheelbarrell full of Republican surveys of prospective GOP voters to the office of the Democratic Govenor but, clearly the idiot Republican didn’t read the surveys because the majority of them were trashing the Republican party. While this jerk is holding a press conference outside the govenors office, her staff skimmed through 1,000 that were negative comments about the GOP. Heck of a job!


  24. FOIA Gras says:

    Would someone please explain to Chris Healy that his First Amendment rights do not entitle him to third-party complicity in his identity theft schemes?


  25. pakaal says:

    I read someone on Twitter saying that Chris Healy has been accused of extortion, bigamy and even murder in the past!

    Free speech, free speech!

    (Disclaimer: Healy hasn’t been convicted for the alleged crimes.)


  26. dixie blood says:

    Maybe the DoJ should charge these people with Wire/Mail Fraud.


  27. LibertyLover says:

    Healy is also claiming that Democrats are protesting the fake sites because they’re just jealous: “They didn’t think of it first, so that’s why they’re whining.”

    Maybe they are just more ethical than Republicans.


  28. Purple State says:

    There is a big difference between free speech and fake speech.


  29. Jackie says:

    As GOP Leader Steele said ” that’s the way we roll”. Fellow GOP Leader Rush doesn’t feel Republicans need to be honest or follow the Law. No need to instruct children to be honest and don’t cheat as the examples Repubicans are showing will make that a joke. It’s been really easy to lead people who don’t know any better nor do they ask any questions.


  30. DaveG says:

    This has nothing to do with infringement on anyone’s free speech! It has everything to do with criminal impersonation.

    Seriously, just when you thought the bar couldn’t be any lower…


  31. LibertyLover says:

    barfly says:
    No clearer example of how little republicans value free speech.
    To them, if it’s free, it has no value.

    If they can’t make a profit from it, they aren’t interested. Maybe we should charge them for “free” speech? They would have to send a child off to war to defend US freedoms. That is the actual cost.


  32. A Patriot Acting says:

    “Healy is also claiming that Democrats are protesting the fake sites because they’re just jealous…”

    Mr. Healy, did Bill O’Reilly tell you that you were beautiful too?

    This is coming from a group that would not allow anyone to wear an Anti-Bush t-shirt to a town hall meeting attended by the ex-president.


  35. Hoodathunk says:

    I am sure there are many laws on the books that deal with impersonation with intent to defraud. Too bad there aren’t any about impersonating a human being.


  36. fletc3her says:

    I would hope some kind of charges could be brought against the Republicans. Is this identity theft or some form of defamation? It certainly isn’t ethical in any case.


  37. Bullsmith says:

    Isn’t it lovely that Republicans now see the first Amendment as a “right to lie” and that calling out deliberate lies is thus an oppression of free speech. Won’t be long till they decide the 2nd Amendment contains a right to shoot people without being punished for it. Or are we pretty much there?


  38. LibertyLover says:

    I thought I saw an ethical Republican once, but I was mistaken… it was only a unicorn.

    Kenneth, since you state it as fact, maybe you could prove it.

    If not, we have to assume that you are following you leaders and lying. Really, we have no reason to believe otherwise anyway.

    You attack us with a lie for calling you a liar.

    irony, you guys just really need to read a book once in a while. Maybe then you will get it.


  41. Uncle Ho says:

    Someone needs to sit down with the Republic party and explain to them in simple, one-syllable terms(so they will be able to understand) that free speech is NOT a license to commit fraud.


  42. lokidog says:

    Progressives DO NOT have a sense of humor!

    “Hi! My name is Kenneth. I like to cover myself in feces and roll on the floor while clutching a teddy bear! Would you care to join me at…..”

    What a freaking hilarious impersonation!


  43. Fred says:

    Kenneth says:
    Progressives DO NOT have a sense of humor! Just bile spitters.

    I guess you decided an intelligent post was just beyond you capabilities. That about it?

    You lie, cheat and steal and then behave like this when you get caught.

    Do you live in a cave somewhere sheltered from reality?

    Well, you do have the right to rape, if your a republican.


  45. Dave N says:

    Kenneth is as ignorant of the First Amendment as are his cancervative Repugnicon brethren in Connecticut.

    Read up on the Constitution, Kenny boy; maybe you’ll come to your senses.

    Kenneth wtf are you talking about, when did the Democrats ever impersonate anyone from the Republican party????


  50. Dave N says:

    Kenneth says:

    Fred,
    Your Mantra is: Lies! Lies! Lies!

    In fact the truth is that the Liberal Left has been ‘Tax and Spenders’ for over 30 years. They do not have a clue what fiscal responsibility means. And that is the real Truth.

    And when faced with the fact that they cannot win the argument, Repiggies change the subject.


  51. Uncle Ho says:

    kenny-boy sez:
    fiscal responsibility. You mean when chimpy was spending like a drunken sailor?


  52. Hoodathunk says:

    Chronic trollitis is a form of bulimia where the afflicted gorge on talking points and then force themselves to publicly regurgitate to purge the poison from their systems. A common symptom is a verbal fixation on bile and vomiting.


  53. Fred says:

    Kenneth, so you can’t prove your lie?


  54. Fred says:

    Kenneth says:

    You can’t handle the truth.

    We should change that, he was a drunken sailor – at least while he was sailng.

    Otherwise, he was just a drunk.

    Benny Kenney—these are the presidents, 1972-2009
    Nixon
    Ford
    Carter-4 yrs
    Reagan
    Bush, Sr
    Clinton-8 yrs
    Georgie, Jr
    Obama-9 months

    Democrats have been in the WH for a total of about 13 years out of 37.

    Now, which is the party most responsible for a history of taxing and spending?

    You lie!


  60. pags2 says:

    This is not a First Amendment or criminal matter. It is a matter that reflects on the integrity of the Republicans. They are committing dirty tricks. The Dems need to beat them over the head with this conduct by questioning their honesty. That would be a smart campaign tactic by turning a dirty trick back on the originators.


  61. Dr. Hussein Matt says:

    Kenneth says:

    How have the “tables been turned”? You terrorists hicks are still a permanent minority and are hated around the world.

  63. Dave N says:

    majii, you can give Nixon another 4, since he was inaugurated in January, 1969. That makes it (almost) 13 of the past (almost) 41 years.

  69. Willy says:

    I bet these Republicans consider themselves to be “good Christians”. Would Jesus participate in this kind of unethical behavior? Maybe the new “conservative” bible will take care of this little problem. Perhaps the “new Jesus” will be ethically challenged.

    Tax and spend is much better than tax, borrow and spend which is what RePugniScums do.

  72. LibertyLover says:

    In fact the truth is that the Liberal Left has been ‘Tax and Spenders’ for over 30 years. They do not have a clue what fiscal responsibility means. And that is the real Truth. a guy named Kenneth

    Well, better a party of tax and spend where the budget can actually be balanced. Repubs think deficits don’t matter so they have just borrowed and spent us into debt with China. And the Dems didn’t send all of our manufacturing base (40,000 factories closed in the US between 2001-2007) overseas getting rid of American jobs in search of the global economy.

    Do you know that a mere 30 years ago, the world was borrowing money from the United States? I remember because Republicans were screaming about being the world’s bank. And now, we owe owe owe to China because Bush borrowed borrowed borrowed from China to pay for his 2 wars of choice instead of taxing the American people for it. Didn’t even put the Wars on the Books. And you think Republicans have demonstrated fiscal responsibility between 1994 and 2006?

    Yeah right.

    Hon, quit voting against your own best interest. The Republicans don’t care about you unless you are in the top 1%.


  73. Fred says:

    LibertyLover, it’s sad and funny at the same time that people who don’t make millions a year think they are part of the club isn’t it?

    Umm I don’t think that they would know what “free speech” is, even if it hit them on the head with a frying pan.. I hope they get charged with eaither libel or slander, because this has crossed over the line between free speech and character defamation (saying something negative about someone else, for you righties who have limited brain function).


  77. LibertyLover says:

    And Kenneth… I’ll just bet that you don’t know that your pal Reagan shifted the tax burden from the upper 1% to the middle class in the 1980’s?

    He also increased FICA contributions (that’s Social Security to you) by the middle class to the baby boomers in the workplace to pay not only for the Social Security recipients at the time in the 80’s AND to pay for their own Social Security when they start hitting retirement age… just about now…

    It was the LARGEST tax increase on the middle class ever in the history of the United States.

    Your cries of tax and spend are misplaced. Everything that Republicans do is designed to destroy the middle class.


  78. trevinla says:

    every elected official, or official/worker/volunteer in a political party should have to take an oath similar to that taken by witnesses.

    Same should apply to all journalists or any employee of a news organization…

    let’s get some morals back in this country


  79. tombaker says:

    kinneh’s pretty angry today…

  80. davidual says:

    This reminds me of the troll logic on the DNC blog when I was a regular blogger over there. The trolls in which were there to disrupt and distract the discussion consistently tried to accuse the DNC of stopping their free speech.
    Republicans do not have a clue of how to rebuild their party without such tactics because republicans do not understand how to be truthful.
    They’re a sham party and getting worse. It’s so believable that’s it’s laughable. Kind of like the wages in our service employment sector.


  81. LibertyLover says:

    Fred says:
    LibertyLover, it’s sad and funny at the same time that people who don’t make millions a year think they are part of the club isn’t it?

    Fred, it’s not their fault. They think they can reach that upper 1%, but the deck is stacked against them. And just like the Republicans that are perpetrating a fraud by misleading people by impersonating Democrats in this post, people like Kenneth have been misled. Misled on purpose. But yeah, it is sad.


  82. TeleMan says:

    Ever notice that the GOP is horribly ignorant about new technology — except when it applies to Republican Dirty Tricks™?


  83. Leftside Annie says:

    Wow. Repubelicks demand the right to LIE.

    Again.

    Say, wingnuts, perhaps you could tell me where that particular right shows up in the Constitution/Bill of Rights, eh?


  84. oktober says:

    It’s apparent these representatives don’t have a clue about thier jobs, their people, or the constitution.

    Impersonation – check
    Breaking ToS – check
    Butchering First Amendment – check
    Incompetance – check

    If these reps. can’t even grasp the First Amendment, how on earth can they even begin to comprehend the DCMA or the upcoming net-neutrality wars?

    No wonder this country is going down the shitter, incompetant establishment.

  88. MapleStreet says:

    And the people complaining that Twitter can’t censor them are the some folks who are against net neutrality.

    Imagine an internet where Rupert Murdoch buys a major portion and gives it to Faux. Bet there will be a lot of censorship then !

    Also, Twitter isn’t restricting speech. Its just saying you have to be honest about who you are.

    Otherwise, What is to stop me from Twittering under the name NewtG and making all sorts of licivious postings ?


  89. Mr.Peepers says:

    Healy is also claiming that Democrats are protesting the fake sites because they’re just jealous: “They didn’t think of it first, so that’s why they’re whining.”

    Is that the “nanny-nanny boo-boo” defense?


  90. the orj says:

    Free speech? Twitter is a private company and as a private company they have the right to remove any content they deem inappropriate. The first amendment doesn’t enter into it. Preventing a private company from removing content it doesn’t like on the other hand is a violation of first amendment rights. Sorry repugs, you lose. Again.


  91. shoeless says:

    Healy is just bragging because he though of lying first. There’s something to be proud of.

    BTW, Fox News thought of it first. They have been putting (D) next to the names of scandalous Republicans for some time now.

  99. EdgeOnIt says:

    Free speech, is one necessity; although it may be time for the ‘press’ to grow up to the reality of words, and their statements?! But, how absurd to isolate, and then to paraphrse one of our political parties’ press releases, about this issue, and then to quote the term free speech as if it were not understood!?

    IMO, although English is typically understood simply, TP has otherwise, sufficiently performed a consistently outstanding job, of including several sources (with hyperlinks), of using colorful descriptive language, and has also employed, inspiring imagery!


  100. dasm says:

    Impersonating someone is part of “free speech”??? Sorry, GOP, you liars, but impersonating someone can land you in prison. Imagine their outrage if someone impersonated them! What a bunch of dishonest, criminal fools.


  101. WillowOrchid says:

    The repugs managed to have the Supreme Court state that Bribery of politicians is “Free Speech”, and that Fox News’ lying in there News stories is “Free Speech”; it’s would be natural for them to assume that impersonating an opponent is also “Free Speech”

    “I’m not quite sure what the issue is, other than that the Democrats were successful in stopping free speech.”

    Where are these people from? I mean REALLY. Where do these people come from? Until we vote out EVERY SINGLE REPUG, we’re going to be the laughing stock of the world.

    I totally agree with you.. This is just one more reason that we must vote them out of office whether it’s at the local, state, or national level. They’re definately from another planet and not fit to be in charge of a school board, not alone representing a state. They have no sense of morals or ethics whatsoever and they make the left look better everyday, since the left is “too ethical” to do something dirty like this.
