Joe Walsh on Twitter after he tweeted, "This is now war. Watch out Obama. Watch out Black Lives Matter punks. Real America is coming after you." Walsh told the Chicago Tribune that Twitter removed the tweet from its site, and he defended it in an interview with the paper. "I was not trying to incite violence against Obama and Black Lives Matter," he said. "That's crazy and stupid and wrong." Media personalities have also reacted to the news by posting inflammatory opinions to social media. - - - --Lauren-- Lauren Weinstein ([email protected]): http://www.vortex.com/lauren Founder: - Network Neutrality Squad: http://www.nnsquad.org - PRIVACY Forum: http://www.vortex.com/privacy-info Co-Founder: People For Internet Responsibility: http://www.pfir.org/pfir-info Member: ACM Committee on Computers and Public Policy Lauren's Blog: http://lauren.vortex.com Google+: http://google.com/+LaurenWeinstein Twitter: http://twitter.com/laurenweinstein Tel: +1 (818) 225-2800 / Skype: vortex.com I have consulted to Google, but I am not currently doing so -- my opinions expressed here are mine alone. _______________________________________________ nnsquad mailing list http://lists.nnsquad.org/mailman/listinfo/nnsquad
