Schmalfeldt Wants Hate ‘Shut Down,’ Not Argued With

Publisher’s note: This is Bill Schmalfeldt’s view. We, at Liberaland, enjoy presenting a variety of views,  not all of which reflect those of the site’s staff and management.

I learned this lesson a little too late. Too late for my health, too late for my reputation, just too late. But not too late to pass some advice on to our readership and those of you who are righteously outraged by the filth being smeared on your computer screens by the right wing haters, misogynists, racists and fools.

What I am about to show you should make you physically ill.

Todd Kincannon, the slack-jawed idiot who said that Richard Martinez’s son, Chris, died… “cowering like a bitch” because Daddy didn’t buy him a gun.

Try to hold your gorge down when you look at this.

Todd, who Zombies would walk right by without even sniffing as they search for brains to eat, is writing a book. He asked his followers to contribute. And MAN, did they contribute!

A racist, misogynist, hate-filled, feces-flinging merchant of disease, Todd Kincannon. He got 184% of the money he wanted to create his book of poisonous incantations of evil.

We progressives. What weak saplings we are. Todd Kincannon, a lawyer, probably with a hefty bank account, the former Executive Director of the South Carolina Republican Party, the former chairman of the election commission in Simpsonville, S.C., a man who calls the voters in his district “sheep…”

A tiny, disgusting little man who likes to brag about his gun, and I’m not talking about a weapon that shoots bullets although I’m fairly sure one is the same as the other to Todd…

This man who was profiled, and not very nicely, by Time Magazine yesterday… and is BRAGGING about it, collecting high fives from mouth-breathing slobber drinkers, male and female alike?

He runs a little hashtag of his own. It’s called #TGDN. The Twitter Gulag Defense Network. It was created by Tiny Todd, and he posts a set of rules for his fellow “free speech lovers”.

#TGDN is more than just a method for conservative Tweeters to break Twitter rules and get away with it. They use it as a weapon against progressive Tweeters they don’t like. If you post something that a conservative determines is “wrongthink,” they will privately tweet to everyone they know and ask them to tweet to everyone THEY know, and swear on a stack of Necronomicons that YOU, the innocent progressive Tweeter, have been inundating them with SPAM. Twitter will not bother to check. They will just suspend you without asking questions. Meanwhile, Twitters who, let’s say, abuse images of dead relatives that you’ve reported to Twitter? They go merrily tweeting on their way.

We progressives are pathetic. We can organize a drum circle. But can we stop the eventual and inevitable decline of America into an oligarchy? We can write op-eds, but can we counter the hive-mind mentality of the low income white male who thinks that the Koch Brothers give a crap about them? We argue with people like Todd Kincannon, and they wear our disgust like a badge of honor.

Here’s a suggestion.

SHUN them. Use their words, but don’t throw them back in their faces. Complain to Twitter. Complain to Facebook. Tell everyone YOU know to complain to Twitter. Tell them that these people are spreading hateful messages. Tell them you are offended by their profanity. Write letters to the editor at your local newspaper. Call your local right wing talk show. Pretend to be a conservative to get past the screener, then lay it on people like Todd Kincannon.  Find out how he makes his money. Who is sponsoring him? Who is paying him to say these things? How is it he can stay home all day and write these horrible, hateful things?

TGDN.org is registered through GoDaddy. Contact GoDaddy. They have links to report abuse. If that doesn’t do the trick, tell GoDaddy that you hold them responsible for every word Kincannon writes and every death of every man or woman killed by someone who is inspired by his words.

Contact “IndieGoGo.”

I did. Write something like this.

I added the URL of Kincannon’s project. You do the same. It is https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/todd-kincannon-s-book-useless-idiots-the-proper-care-and-feeding-of-liberals–2.

Here’s his website.  Make him poisonous to customers.

Oddly enough, his website is also hosted by GoDaddy.

Or, do nothing. We liberals are GREAT at that. We do “nothing” better than ANYONE!

I believe the only way to make these “First Amendment” warriors pay for the crimes committed because of their misguided love and misunderstanding of the “Second Amendment” is to hit them where they live. To make their hate COST them something.

Kincannon enjoys being called names. You throw mud (or something stinkier) at him, he rubs it all over his face. He wants you to know just how disgusting he really is, so you won’t fight back.

And if you won’t fight back, they win.

The First Amendment says only that the government can’t tell him what to say, what to think, who to pray to. It doesn’t say he gets to have a Twitter account, a Facebook account, a GoDaddy account, or raise money on IndieGogo. We have to shame those who can still feel shame. Kincannon is not one of them. I believe that if enough people hammer Twitter, Facebook, GoDaddy, IndieGogo and anyone who does any business whatsoever with Todd Kincannon, they will not want to be associated with the things he says. He will lose his platform. And he can stand on a street corner and yell at people, until the cops take him away for causing a disturbance.

Don’t engage him. Don’t talk to him. Don’t argue with him.

Take action. Shut him down. Shut down the people who support him. It’s the only thing that will work.

I no longer use Twitter or Facebook because they are evil. I do continue to blog at http://Schmalfeldt.org, where you can get information about other stuff I do, like comedy/parody CDs and MP3 downloads and audiobooks and such. Get yours now. When I'm dead, there will be a drastic price increase.
