[From here](http://twitchy.com/2012/06/06/kill-scott-walker-angry-libs-flood-twitter-with-death-threats-after-wisconsin-recall-defeat/), some choice words from angry right wingers. (I assume they are right wingers, because I remember earlier threads in which posters solemnly assured the Boards that this kind of violent imagery is a tool of the right wing’s murderous impulses, not the gentle hippies of the left).

Well, that fifth guy only wants to shoot him in the leg. That seems pretty reasonable, to me. ---

What can we deduce from the fact that not every one of those tweets you listed threatens Scott Walker’s life (or threatens his family)? ---

Some of those are wishing death. That’s not so bad. I wish death on a lot of people. I’m doing it right now. What Bricker doesn’t understand, (among other things, like economics, religion and basic logic) is that the difference between the right and the left, is no one with power in the left is approving of this. So you found 20 shitty tweets. Big fucking deal. ---

Can I wish termites on his house? Because that sounds fun. (And it’d create jobs in WI!) As a feminist, pacifist, vegetarian, expatriate Cheesehead, lefty bitch (just establishing my street cred with these fine hippies quoted above), I denounce anyone using that level of tortured spelling and grammar, and suggest they might be taken out of the gene pool for the good of humanity. … Wait, that’s not quite right. I denounce anyone wishing harm on Walker or his family, etc., etc., and think they’re a bunch of idiot twats that hopefully no one with a goddamned ounce of sense listens to. ---

The ones about shooting must be right wingers. Also the ones with poor grammar and misspellings. This one sounds like a left winger though. > [@Prototypeisgame](#): > > Please somebody kill Scott Walker The OP has no idea who sent these texts or why, if they were sent at all since the source is a right wing website. I wonder why he thinks this makes for a gratuitous attack against left wingers. I could make up some texts with ridiculous statements in them alleging them to come from right wingers. Absurd things like a preacher saying gays should be kept behind an electric fence, or that Mitt Romney likes to fire people, or Donald Trump saying he has evidence that Barack Obama’s birth certificate is phony.

Semi-literate threats from anonymous shitheads with atrocious grammar? No. That is not the Twitter _I_ know. I’m going to break with conventional wisdom and say that threatening violence against a political figure is wrong EVEN when it’s a Republican. No, now, I know how it sounds, but I’ve agonized over this. Someone has to be brave enough to take a stand. I’m no hero; I’m just a guy in the right place at the right time. ---

Here’s a [screengrab](http://twitter.com/Camaran/status/210252779237818369/photo/1/large) of some of it. I’m pretty sure that if an account gets closed suspended or taken down, the doesn’t exist page comes up. That is a WAG though. ---

> [@Bricker](#): > > Hmmm. > > Well, maybe this is literally manufactured outrage. If so, I certainly withdraw the claim. Hey, I’m not a Twitter expert or anything. Tweets from a user **should** show in that format if those are the usernames who tweeted them. For instance, game programmer/designer dude Trent Oster, creator of the Baldur’s Gate Extended Edition, tweeting via @TrentOster: [https://twitter.com/#!/TrentOster](https://twitter.com/#!/TrentOster) **Furious George** : Ah, excellent - thanks for the guess. ---
