I received a 12 hour Twitter suspension for the following Tweet

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

In response to Matt Schlapp threatening Mitt Romney I wrote "Schlapp needs a slap upside the head."

They said threatening someone violates the rules. Actually it's a play on words but remember it was Schlapp who threatened Romney with violence.

Righties like most bullies can dish it out but piss their pants when someone throws it back at them.

1. You should have said a "schlapp" upside the head. nt

[superpatriotman]

14. +1

If I ever see him in person I will gladly Schlapp him upside his potato head

[mitch96]

17. +1 That would have been funny! nt

[tblue37]

18. And it would perhaps provide plausible deniability on the violence claim. nt

[mitch96]

19. Yup, the court jester can call the king an ass and get away with it..eh? nt

[FM123]

2. I rather liked your tweet, I'm sorry they gave you a suspension.

I personally will give you an ovation!

[trueblue2007]

9. I'm sorry they gave you a suspension also.

3. Macho snowflakes with frilly pink panties....

[New Breed Leader]

4. I'm so sick of those fuckers getting away with everything nt

[guillaumeb]

5. I would have awarded you a medal.

Yes, the right wing loves to attack, and also play the eternal victim.

7. The DU Medal of Freedom.

Hurry before some numbnuts cheapens it.

[guillaumeb]

16. Rush Limbaugh.

As soon as Limbaugh touched the medal, it began to tarnish.

[CaptYossarian]

24. He may have broken a tooth trying to eat it.

I never do fat jokes, but he really sucks as a human being.

[unblock]

6. while their hypocrisy is ludicrous, i agree with the suspension

sorry, suggesting anyone needs to be slapped upside the head is just not appropriate.

the fact that you're making fun of his name on top of it doesn't do anything to reduce the inappropriateness.


what i do find problematic with twitter in this case is that they allowed schlapp's tweet in the first place, even though that violates the exact same policy.

[CaptYossarian]

11. If they knew their history, they'd know thatDemocrats aren't that violent.

I can think of 2 instances where Republican Congressmen got in trouble for acts of violence.

1) In the last few years, a NY rodent threatened to toss a reporter over a railing in the Capitol. It was caught on camera and he did jail time.

2) A couple of decades ago, CA Congressman Bob Dornan suckerpunched NY Democrat Tom Downey after a vote. The racist caveman ironically was defeated by Loretta Sanchez.

I can't recollect any time when a Democrat showed any violence or threat to a Republican.

And which side is more likely to have a home arsenal?

I'm glad you detest violence. You're one of us.

[NewJeffCT]

13. "Verifed" accounts get a whole lot more leeway

both Democratic and Republican. It's just that Republicans are more likely to test the limits for even verified accounts. Though, if you follow Tony Posnanski on Twitter, he's pretty liberal in his use of expletives and in his politics.

[tblue37]

15. She t takes a complaint, I think, and right wingers jump to complain, whereas

liberals generally don't complain about minor things.

[TlalocW]

8. I got banned

Because I made fun of Geraldo Rivera after he brown-nosed Trump on something saying, "Instead of, 'kick-ass reporter,' in your Twitter bio, it should be, 'kiss-ass.'"

10. The Twit platform is openly corrupt; I can't understand why anybody bothers with it.

[Blue_Tires]

12. I'm in the penalty box for something similar

Fuck 'em... I could use a week off twitter

[LiberalFighter]

20. A slap or a schlapp would not impact him.

[cstanleytech]

21. Twitter is hypocritical in enforcing its Tos.

[Tarc]

22. I've been Twitter-suspended for "go eat a tide pod" and "go play in traffic"

Meanwhile, Cernovich, Dice, and the like are free to spew white supremacy 24/7.

[Still In Wisconsin]

23. Yeah best thing to do with bullies is get

right up in their face. Their usual reaction is to piss themselves and then go tell on you. I know, I grew up as the only Jewish kid in a very Catholic neighborhood... but I was always bigger than everyone else.

[TheBlackAdder]

25. It might have even been Russian bots flagging you. But MAGAts are on a search & destroy on Dems.

.

They will flag you for whatever, just to silence your voice.

26. See if you can have a chat with Assange...... maybe he can help.you..

N/T

[Cousin Dupree]

27. Wow. What a bunch of hypocritical snowflakes over there.

[UniteFightBack]

28. I got banned for telling a deplorable I want to grab that pussy. I don't understand since they like

that!!!!!!!!!!!
