It’s no surprise to anyone who uses social media that it’s a prolific tool for crazy people to act out. Last week, Cassy did a blog post about Libs on Twitter smearing Paul Ryan as a Rapist. Now we’re seeing Twitter users – lots of them – who have threatened to assassinate GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney if he beats Barack Obama on November 6th.
Our national election is just a little over 3 weeks away now, and the Crazies on Twitter seem to be posting their garbage with impunity. Are the hipsters simply trying to be cool or outrageous? Maybe. But what if one of them really means it? Here are just a few threats that Twitchy has documented:

Ignorant – and clearly most of them went to government school.
Threats from either side should be fully investigated. It only takes one idiot to change the course of history. But these threats against Romney have been going on for some time now. The Twitchy Team documented more death threats here and here. For some reason, Twitter seems to ignore would-be leftist assassins, yet loves to suspend the accounts of conservatives.
The Left is completely unhinged these days.
Check out the video below, produced by Black Talk Radio. Their position is that the threats on Twitter toward Romney seem more like bad jokes than actual real death threats. Their position is that death threats against presidential candidates are protected speech; this according to the uber-liberal 9th Circuit Court of Appeals.
Seriously? Is the Secret Service paying attention? And Twitter? Deal with your morons.
jeffythequick says: I remember when Obama became the likely candidate, there was increased on 2007…

Since we have the first (insert “firstness” here, there have only been about 100 people that have had serious consideration for president, so they’re all firsts at something…) shouldn’t we have equal treatment for Mitt?
Sad to say, this is a result of the “new civility” that the Mouth In Chief has always promoted: “Get in their face. They bring a knife, you bring a gun.” And more, of course…as you say, all with impunity.
Absolutely sickening.
