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.

Be sure to spread the link around and we’ll see if we can hook him up with a good rank on the google, and let the republicans know not to trifle with the left when it comes to social media.

Ok sounds like a plan… Who wants tro join me?

If I were one of the Democrats in question, I would be filing complaints of fraud and identity theft on these weak minded seditionists.

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”

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.

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!

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!

HAHAHAHAHA

Can you supply a link?

Keep in mind their Bizarro World. If they impersonate Dems, then lie about the Dems’ positions, that makes two lies. To them, that’s indistinguishable from the truth! lolz

The First Amendment does not allow you to say anything you want in any forum. For example, wire fraud is illegal.

“They didn’t think of it first, so that’s why they’re whining.”

Right, because it is dishonest, unethical and deceptive…

…that’s why republicans thought of it.

‘free speech’ …

You keep using that word. I do not think it means

repugs mistake the first amendment as license to be rude…

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.

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.
