Thom's blog: Crazy Alert! Stone a liberal journalist to death?

Crazy Alert! A British Politician was arrested yesterday after taking to twitter and asking someone to stone a liberal journalist to death. Gareth Compton - a member of the Conservative Party - tweeted that he, "shan't tell Amnesty if you don't, it would be a blessing really," if Yasmin Alibhai-Brown was stoned to death. It seems Mr. Compton does not know how to use twitter as effectively as certain American politicians. The key is not to outright call for someone's death that you disagree with - but instead hint that your political enemy may be planning to kill - say...the elderly all over the country with something like...death panels. Way more effective - and also not a crime.
-Thom Hartmann
(What do you think the reaction would have been if a Republican or Democrat had tweeted like that? Tell us here.)
