Todd Kincannon = Baby With Razor Blade
Would you knowingly hand a straight-edged razor blade to a baby?
Of course not. And you don’t need to have the reasons explained to you. You just wouldn’t.
For much the same reasons, Todd Kincannon, the former Executive Director of the South Carolina Republican Party should not be allowed to have a Twitter account.
I am loath to give this troll any attention whatsoever. He’s like Ann Coulter, but without the tact.
What set Todd off this time?
The video of Rich Martinez, father of slain student Chris Martinez, wondering when this madness is going to stop.
Apparently, Todd doesn’t like the fact that this grief-stricken man whose son was murdered while buying a sandwich at a deli spoke out for more gun control.
Todd Kincannon has over 23,000 followers on Twitter.
Now, I’m not here to make jokes about Todd’s “Creator” being the south end of a northbound boar. That would be crude. And Todd loves the crude. I read somewhere today that reading his Twitter account is like jumping face first into a septic tank with your mouth open.
Todd craves the attention. Todd has been glorifying all day, attacking the people who were righteously shocked by his total lack of empathy for humanity.
I don’t know what can be done about gun laws that would have kept the murdering creep from getting his guns.
I do know what can be done about Todd Kincannon.
What do you do when you see a baby holding a razor blade?
You take it away from him.
Todd has the First Amendment right to express his stupidity. He can purchase a soap box, stand on a street corner, and scream at the moon if he likes.
Twitter, a private company, is not required to provide Todd with a platform to spread his hatred.
Twitter should take the proper step of shutting down Todd Kincannon. There is nothing in the First Amendment that gives Kincannon or his followers, like the misogynist columnist Robert Stacy McCain (who has spent the better part of the day mocking the #yesallwomen movement), the right to have a Twitter account.
There is a sickness in the right wing of this country. We ignore it at our peril. I’ve (eventually) learned that arguing with these people is pointless. Kincannon is enjoying every angry Tweet he receives about this topic. I think a reasonable solution would be to put Kincannon in a room with Rich Martinez, lock the door, and open it when Kincannon’s screaming and crying in terror can no longer be heard. These are cowards. They are keyboard commandos.
I believe it has nothing to do with guns. The misuse of guns and this rash of mass shootings? That’s just a symptom. Todd Kincannon is the disease. And his followers like Robert Stacy McCain are the small, scurrying rodents that carry this disease from place to place.
Don’t engage them. Shun them. Deny them a platform. Teach your children that hate is wrong. Teach the kids that people like these exist only as cautionary tales of what happens when you profess God with your mouth and practice the works of Satan in your deeds.

Todd is the creator of the TGDN hashtag which was the catalyst for the forming on Unite Blue because Todd’s gang would get progressives’ accounts suspended by reporting them en masse. He’s a special kind of stupid.
SirDanMur May 27th, 2014 at 18:17
As a former member of TGDN I can tell you that is not what it was about. Conservatives were getting our accounts suspended by Liberals in masse. TGDN was a network of people to build up our follower count to defend against suspensions. It helped tremendously. Some may have misused TGDN, which stands for “Twitter Gulag Defense Network” but the purpose was to protect our right to free speech in this public forum. Of course we can play the tit for tat and who started it game, but TGDN was to solve a problem we were already facing, not to start problems.

I’m glad you weren’t a part of those shenanigans because I was targeted on several occasions.
Anomaly 100 May 27th, 2014 at 22:46
I never spam-block, I just block. I have reported a couple of accounts but that was only after threats of violence and that was over a period of a couple of years.
But I have seen Todd actually call to spam-block progressives. He hasn’t done that since he was called out for it though.
Anomaly 100 May 27th, 2014 at 23:05
Same here. I just block because trolls are a waste of my time and some of them can get really nasty. Twitter is a behemoth social site so we’re always going to run into jerks.
Anomaly 100 May 27th, 2014 at 23:12
Polite goes a long way. I have a few Conservative friends on Twitter and we just joke back and forth. They’re really great people and we understand that our political differences aren’t the end of the world. I come from an all Republican family, so I guess I’ve learned to get along as long as the conversation is respectful.
Anomaly 100 May 27th, 2014 at 23:24
I don’t get angry when someone thinks differently than I do. All of what you mentioned upsets me with Republicans. I could lose my health care if Obamacare is repealed, for example.
There are just some people that will not change their thinking. I will never be a Republican. That said, my Conservative friends (not many of them) on social sites and I get along really well. In fact, there’s one in particular that i exchange emails with several times per day. Truth be told, we weren’t always like that but we found a middle ground. Politics isn’t everything.
arc99 May 27th, 2014 at 23:40
we get angry because you folks on the right blame every ill known to mankind on the current occupant of the Oval Office. we get angry as you rail against big government, and say not a word about the dangers of big corporations.
So tell me, never in your life have health care costs gone up?
Never in your life have your taxes gone up? I would ask exactly when did your taxes go up and for what reason. Did it ever occur to you that perhaps it was to pay for a $4trillion war for weapons that did not exist and which liberals opposed. Did you consider that your taxes went up to finance the military industrial complex which Eisenhower warned us about? America spends more on defense and military than the next 10 nations combined. Ever occur to you that is the reason why your taxes went up?
I see the policies that conservatives endorse as a threat to me and my family. With unions non-existent and government gutted, exactly what other institutions does the average citizen have access to in order to counter the influence of big corporations? Please don’t trot the old “take your business elsewhere” mantra. Try buying a loaf of bread in this country that does not generate income for Archer Daniels Midland. Try buying a house in this country without the blessing of one of only three credit bureaus. We jump through hoops designed by corporations, and conservatives call it freedom.
Perhaps you are the rare conservative who actually believes in human freedom. Clearly, the most vocal conservatives over the past few years do not believe in freedom for gay people, or Muslims. They claim to be pro-life yet rail against any attempt to help the least advantaged children in our country, AFTER they are born.
the bottom line is that there are critical needs for human existence where people matter more than earning a profit. when providing a vital good or service, the private sector will not provide that good or service if it is not profitable. that is not a criticism, it is an observation of fact.
and when corporations do sh*t like this, I don’t want the hassle of having to “take my business elsewhere”, I want a government big enough and strong enough to stop it.

Blue Cross praised employees who dropped sick policyholders, lawmaker says

arc99 May 28th, 2014 at 12:25
well I am trying to have a real conversation and I appreciate your willingness to do likewise.
when I replied to your post, you cited several issues and blamed liberals without substantiating that your complaints were directly due to liberal policies. I questioned how you came to that conclusion and posed the hypothetical question of why you did not consider that it was policies favored by conservatives which were equally responsible for your taxes if not more so.
I would point out that the most liberal members of the Democratic party opposed the war in Iraq, so it was not liberals who were responsible for a war which cost us trillions of dollars, and 35,000+ dead and wounded for weapons that did not exist.
I also must emphatically disagree with your position on social change instead of “force”. First of all, the 14th and 16th amendments both explicitly grant Congress the right to pass laws to ensure equal protection and voting rights.
Brown v Board of Education which put a legal end to Jim Crow in America was based on the 14th amendment. Should black people have waited for the people who were depriving them of their rights, to have a sudden change of heart? When the issue is fundamental rights, waiting for people to change their minds is completely inadequate.
I grew up in this country during the last few years of segregation. I remember planning vacations with my family based on not on our interests and budget, but on which hotels would rent us a room. Waiting for “social change” instead of using the force of law, when people are being deprived of fundamental rights is completely unacceptable to me.
For health care, every other western democracy on the planet which has found a way to disconnect health insurance from employment, has some form of universal health care, either single payer like Britain, or through a partnership of the public and private sector as in Israel.
Personally I prefer the British model, but even in the Israeli model, participation is mandatory. I do not think it is a coincidence that not one nation has been able to provide a 100% corporate solution that works for all people.
I sincerely hope that yours is the future voice of conservatism in this country, not the TeaParty. It is possible to debate ideas on policy.
It is not possible to debate whether the birth certificate is real.
SirDanMur May 26th, 2014 at 22:49
Ha ha. Kincannon getting under your skin much? Lol. Todd owns. And he’s right. I’d go so far as to say the father of the slain boy loves his political agenda more than the son he just lost.

See, this is where you retards lose me.
You have absolutely no problem calling out a father who has an emotional reason to say what his political beliefs are, yet you critique his ideology while trying to highlight your ideology and paint it as this star spangled awesome belief that is just oh so “Murican”. In the words of Ken (the great Hitman), “Let’s face it. And I’m not being funny. I mean no disrespect, but you’re a c**t. You’re a c**t now, and you’ve always been a c**t. And the only thing that’s going to change is that you’re going to be an even bigger c**t.”

“…….ranted and raved about how great Obama was….”
You have to admit Obama has accomplished greater things with his life when compared to you, based on personal achievements. List your accomplishments if you want to prove me wrong.
Why be jealous of someones success?

SirDanMur May 27th, 2014 at 18:31
Yes, I’m pretty sure he had an NRA bumper sticker on the back of his BMW. He’s a liberal trust me, a whinny rich liberal elitist that had everything given to him in life and could not comprehend or handle the fact that someone was telling him NO. That is the problem, and that is the summary of Liberalism. All liberals do is give people crap, health care, Free Schools, Food stamps, etc. I’m proud to be among the party of “no” because someone needs to tell the whinny spoiled brat that is the American public, “NO”. Mommy and Daddy can’t afford what you want without filing bankruptcy. That is what mature adults do, they understand how to say no, how to manage finances, and how to hold their kids responsible for their behavior. The goal should be that people grow as civil productive citizens, but liberals create whinny brats that cry out for more.
Liberalism is the sickness, the disease in this society. Not Conservatives.
jasperjava May 27th, 2014 at 20:17
Conservatives are the throwbacks who believe that women are inferior chattel. They are the ones who try to preserve the patriarchal society at any cost. A liberal misogynist is a contradiction in terms. Insofar as you hate someone because of their gender, you cannot possibly be liberal.
You’re the ones who are always beating your chests over the superiority of white supremacy and male chauvinism. You’re the ones who talk about “legitimate rape” and call women “sl#ts” if you disagree with them over public policy.

SirDanMur May 27th, 2014 at 18:25
Exactly, the right to bear arms is already almost completely violated in California, especially on college campuses. These guys try to pass these laws, they are only going to get more innocent people killed. But they are too stupid to know. Liberalism is a mental disorder. It’s the need for protectionism and a lack of individual responsibility because Liberals all have daddy issues, namely a lack of one who taught them how to care for themselves so they constantly seek someone to care for them.

SirDanMur May 27th, 2014 at 18:12
The reason we do that is because Truth is absolute. You come at the argument as if all political and ideological beliefs are the same, they’re not. View Points that promote individual human freedom are correct, and those which oppress human freedom and centralize power and control among a group of elitists called “government” are wrong. They are morally incorrect, they treat some humans as better than others.
The Killing of 6 people and wounding of 13 by Elliot Rogers is a horrible tragedy, but we recognize that centralized power has created much worse tragedies in human history. Taking away guns, restricting ones right to protect himself is what causes these tragedies. Guaranteed Elliot would not have attempted this in Texas. Let him explain it in his own manifesto:
“It came to a point where I had to set a date for the Day of retribution. I originally considered doing it on Halloween of 2013. That is when the entire town erupts in raucous partying. There would literally be thousands of people crowded together who I could kill with ease, and the goal was to kill everyone in Isla Vista, to utterly destroy that wretched town. But then after seeing footage of previous Halloween events on YouTube, I saw that there were too many cops walking around. It would be too risky. One gunshot from a cop will end everything.”
You See, Elliot understood his peers were easy prey. He knew nobody would be armed. It is the same for every school shooting. They target the defenseless. You can think our approach harsh if you like, but we are right. The dad with the dead son is a friggin douche, all he wants is to deny rights (and though he doesn’t know it) he will be the cause of more shootings as more people become defenseless in more places. His ideology is wrong, it’s dangerous, it will kill more people.
Riddle me this. Why did he blame the NRA, when Rogers killed 3 people using a gun, and 3 people using a knife? Why didn’t he call out any National Knife lobbying organizations, like the ones that fought to overturn the national ban on switch-blades? I know why, because he’s an ideologue, and his ideology sucks, it’s hateful, and it leads to more murder by evil people.
Recognize evil exists, it will never stop, murder will always happen, Take proper rational steps in your personal life to mitigate this risk as best you can. This is what Conservatives do, and we would be happy to teach you anything about personal defense and protection you would like to know.
Peace.

I utterly reject your terrorist ideology of violence and death.
SirDanMur May 27th, 2014 at 22:48
reject it all you want. the mass murderer said it all himself, psychos and criminals go after easy targets. It’s a well known fact. I suggest you either evolve an immunity towards lead or take precaution in protecting yourself and your family.
Bundy Ranch should have proven to everyone that Conservatives are not the killers. We are responsible armed gun owners. They never fired a shot out there. It is the left that produces these mass killers. The cop killer ranted and raved about how great Obama was, and this kid is nothing more than the son of a Hollywood leftist elitist. = Liberal to the core.

“…….ranted and raved about how great Obama was….”
You have to admit Obama has accomplished greater things with his life when compared to you, based on personal achievements. List your accomplishments if you want to prove me wrong.
Why be jealous of someones success?
SirDanMur May 28th, 2014 at 12:39
lol…. Yes he’s someone every mass murderer should look up to. No thanks, I’m content not comparing myself to Obama and never being listed as someone of greatness in a mass murderer’s manifesto. LOL
craig7120 May 28th, 2014 at 12:47
I agree you would look very silly and inadequate comparing your accomplishments with Mr Obama. Knowing ones self and their limitations is the practice of humility, well done.
SirDanMur May 28th, 2014 at 13:04
Whatever dude. The point is Mass Murderers have a tendency to be Liberals. Probably because they never went through an NRA safety course and simply don’t know any better.
craig7120 May 28th, 2014 at 13:22
Be careful, blaming the inadequacies of the NRA will get your gop card revovked.
Hint: Knowing the tendencies of mass murders is something that shouldn’t be bragged about. Wait! Is that one of your accomplishments?
SirDanMur May 28th, 2014 at 13:47
eh yes. I speak with liberals frequently, I know who the killers in our society are.
craig7120 May 28th, 2014 at 15:13
Getting your information from liberals is a step in the right direction, teachers & professors are to be commended, not everyone is teachable. Also hanging around liberals in a blog forum is educational, you’re welcome.
SirDanMur May 28th, 2014 at 15:44
You’re awfully persistent. Go ahead and impart your wisdom to me. I’m willing to learn from any quality honest source.
craig7120 May 29th, 2014 at 08:17
Persistent or annoying ?
Anyways, I’m only schooled in a few subjects, I’m ignorant in many more. If you want to learn how to operate a train, I’m your guy. Physics is just a hobby, but I can fuddle through it enough to hold a decent conversation. Politics? No clue. Women? Completely clueless, but they tolerate my ignorance.
Be safe amigo
SirDanMur May 29th, 2014 at 12:56
Train operation would be a fun thing to learn.
Anomaly 100 May 27th, 2014 at 18:24
I’m glad you weren’t a part of those shenanigans because I was targeted on several occasions.
SirDanMur May 27th, 2014 at 22:45
I’ve been suspended over a dozen times now. I’m fine if folks want to block me. Really, NBD. but reporting someone because you don’t like what someone says or the way they say it? Come on, folks need to grow up. This article is exactly that. Calling for a ban on someone in social media because you don’t like their opinion! How childish. Alan needs to grow a pair or have his mommy setup parental controls on his computer.
Anomaly 100 May 27th, 2014 at 22:46
I never spam-block, I just block. I have reported a couple of accounts but that was only after threats of violence and that was over a period of a couple of years.
But I have seen Todd actually call to spam-block progressives. He hasn’t done that since he was called out for it though.
SirDanMur May 27th, 2014 at 23:02
Threats of violence should never be condoned. On one occasion I spam blocked another Conservative because a friend asked. It caused so much trouble I apologized and don’t do it any longer. Now I block for my own reasons and keep my mouth shut about it. Move on with my life.
Anomaly 100 May 27th, 2014 at 23:05
Same here. I just block because trolls are a waste of my time and some of them can get really nasty. Twitter is a behemoth social site so we’re always going to run into jerks.
SirDanMur May 27th, 2014 at 23:07
Very True! I do wish suspensions weren’t so heavily dependent upon other’s feelings. I think that’s a terrible policy. But I guess it helps keep things more polite (maybe?).
Anomaly 100 May 27th, 2014 at 23:12
Polite goes a long way. I have a few Conservative friends on Twitter and we just joke back and forth. They’re really great people and we understand that our political differences aren’t the end of the world. I come from an all Republican family, so I guess I’ve learned to get along as long as the conversation is respectful.
SirDanMur May 27th, 2014 at 23:20
I gotta be honest, It’s hard for me to be friends with Liberals. I see their policies as being a significant burden on me and on my family. My health care costs did go up, I lost out of network coverage at the same time. My taxes went up. And I do legitimately fear the gun policies that Liberals want to put in place. I’m fairly well read, I just want individuals to have as much human freedom as a civil society can tolerate. I don’t understand why liberals get so angry with me for that.
Anomaly 100 May 27th, 2014 at 23:24
I don’t get angry when someone thinks differently than I do. All of what you mentioned upsets me with Republicans. I could lose my health care if Obamacare is repealed, for example.
There are just some people that will not change their thinking. I will never be a Republican. That said, my Conservative friends (not many of them) on social sites and I get along really well. In fact, there’s one in particular that i exchange emails with several times per day. Truth be told, we weren’t always like that but we found a middle ground. Politics isn’t everything.
arc99 May 27th, 2014 at 23:40
we get angry because you folks on the right blame every ill known to mankind on the current occupant of the Oval Office. we get angry as you rail against big government, and say not a word about the dangers of big corporations.
So tell me, never in your life have health care costs gone up?
Never in your life have your taxes gone up? I would ask exactly when did your taxes go up and for what reason. Did it ever occur to you that perhaps it was to pay for a $4trillion war for weapons that did not exist and which liberals opposed. Did you consider that your taxes went up to finance the military industrial complex which Eisenhower warned us about? America spends more on defense and military than the next 10 nations combined. Ever occur to you that is the reason why your taxes went up?
I see the policies that conservatives endorse as a threat to me and my family. With unions non-existent and government gutted, exactly what other institutions does the average citizen have access to in order to counter the influence of big corporations? Please don’t trot the old “take your business elsewhere” mantra. Try buying a loaf of bread in this country that does not generate income for Archer Daniels Midland. Try buying a house in this country without the blessing of one of only three credit bureaus. We jump through hoops designed by corporations, and conservatives call it freedom.
Perhaps you are the rare conservative who actually believes in human freedom. Clearly, the most vocal conservatives over the past few years do not believe in freedom for gay people, or Muslims. They claim to be pro-life yet rail against any attempt to help the least advantaged children in our country, AFTER they are born.
the bottom line is that there are critical needs for human existence where people matter more than earning a profit. when providing a vital good or service, the private sector will not provide that good or service if it is not profitable. that is not a criticism, it is an observation of fact.
and when corporations do sh*t like this, I don’t want the hassle of having to “take my business elsewhere”, I want a government big enough and strong enough to stop it.

Blue Cross praised employees who dropped sick policyholders, lawmaker says
Workers received high marks on performance reviews after policies were rescinded, documents show. The health insurer denies the practice is a factor in evaluations.
SirDanMur May 28th, 2014 at 11:55
Goodness Arc.
A lot of what you’ve said is not true, and not true about me, or even many Conservatives. Grant you there are some stupid Conservatives out there. I am always against the collusion of Business and Government This is called Cronyism, not Capitalism. I am not against Unions, I am against legislation that creates protectionist policies for unions. If unions are good they must stand on their own merits. Similarly, if a business is good it must stand on it’s own merits. apart from protectionist policies that stifle and prevent competition. I am against publicly traded corporations. The whole system is rigged at this point and it creates false indicators about our economy. The Stock market is not the economy it produces no goods and provides no services.
Go look up how many democrats voted for the Wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, then get back to me. Also consider we had the support of most every nation in the UN. I honestly don’t know if I support those wars or not, but I know I disagree with the manner in which wars are fought. I believe if we are going to go to war it should be bad enough to warrant annihilating whomever we are going to war with. War should be swift and painful decimation as quickly as possible with as few of our resources as possible. Think Barbary Wars. America fights incorrectly right now, we have collusion between our government and arms manufacturers, like you said, The military industrial complex. But I don’t think we were ever intended to have a standing army like we have. Armed people were supposed to be our national defense.
In terms of Insurance policies, none of use really know how much policies go up or down, because we get insurance through our employers primarily, which is the stupidest concept ever invented. Please read this article which explains well how Health Insurance got where it is today:
By the Great Economist Milton Friedman, he talks about what historically started employer based hc and why it hurts us:
http://www.hoover.org/publications/hoover-digest/article/7298
Concerning taxes, I would ask you, at what point are taxes enough? Surely there must be a point? This year Americans will spend more on taxes of various kinds than they will on Food, Clothing, and Shelter. These are 2011 numbers but I would encourage you to watch this short 2 minute video. We need spending cuts everywhere:
http://www.learnliberty.org/videos/what-can-we-cut-balance-budget/
You should try having some real conversations with Conservatives. I myself believe Homosexuality is morally wrong, but socially I support the abolition of state licencing of marriage. Marriage is a private contract between two individuals (and God). I didn’t always feel this way but I recognize, and many conservatives recognize that Both Liberals and Conservatives need to stop turning to Force of Law to solve problems we find morally wrong or unjust. Most of the time the solution is for Americans to get in there and make their case to other Americans, to create the social change by choice rather than by force. American’s for too long have used the Federal and state governments as a weapon against those they disagree with. Both sides are guilty of this.
And I wish you wouldn’t make the claim “Conservatives are pro-life until after birth” it’s factually not true, this is one of the instances where Conservatives jump in and help with their time, money and resources. I couldn’t tell you how many hours me, my wife, my friends have helped in different organizations. With orphans, with single moms, with the homeless, with the elderly, with the disabled. Just because we don’t want to use tax money and force of law to help, does not mean we are against helping.
Long post, I hope you read it. Conservatives in the new generation are a different set of people. we lean very Libertarian.
arc99 May 28th, 2014 at 12:25
well I am trying to have a real conversation and I appreciate your willingness to do likewise.
when I replied to your post, you cited several issues and blamed liberals without substantiating that your complaints were directly due to liberal policies. I questioned how you came to that conclusion and posed the hypothetical question of why you did not consider that it was policies favored by conservatives which were equally responsible for your taxes if not more so.
I would point out that the most liberal members of the Democratic party opposed the war in Iraq, so it was not liberals who were responsible for a war which cost us trillions of dollars, and 35,000+ dead and wounded for weapons that did not exist.
I also must emphatically disagree with your position on social change instead of “force”. First of all, the 14th and 16th amendments both explicitly grant Congress the right to pass laws to ensure equal protection and voting rights.
Brown v Board of Education which put a legal end to Jim Crow in America was based on the 14th amendment. Should black people have waited for the people who were depriving them of their rights, to have a sudden change of heart? When the issue is fundamental rights, waiting for people to change their minds is completely inadequate.
I grew up in this country during the last few years of segregation. I remember planning vacations with my family based on not on our interests and budget, but on which hotels would rent us a room. Waiting for “social change” instead of using the force of law, when people are being deprived of fundamental rights is completely unacceptable to me.
For health care, every other western democracy on the planet which has found a way to disconnect health insurance from employment, has some form of universal health care, either single payer like Britain, or through a partnership of the public and private sector as in Israel.
Personally I prefer the British model, but even in the Israeli model, participation is mandatory. I do not think it is a coincidence that not one nation has been able to provide a 100% corporate solution that works for all people.
I sincerely hope that yours is the future voice of conservatism in this country, not the TeaParty. It is possible to debate ideas on policy.
It is not possible to debate whether the birth certificate is real.
