The internet is abuzz this week with new revelations about the towering edifice of hypocrisy and left-wing censorship being built by the controllers of Twitter.
Exactly four weeks ago, Twitter permanently banned gay conservative commentator and humorist Milo Yiannopoulos from the platform, claiming that he incited abuse of comic actress Leslie Jones after, get this, she reacted harshly to his critical review of her performance in the new “Ghostbusters” film.
The exchange was fairly innocuous, with Jones acting peeved and Milo displaying the rapier wit of a sharp stand-up comedian, and the final straw came when Jones blocked him, and Milo Tweeted: “Rejected by another black dude…” and posted her photo.
Witty, harsh, certainly not racist, but mocking Ms. Jones’ tough appearance (something her character in the new “Ghostbusters” film did as well, to a large degree), Milo’s tweet was his last, for Twitter’s rulers are promoting an image akin to a “safe space” where uptight leftists will never be “triggered” by anything the leftists don’t like. Now, if you look for Milo’s final Tweet, you’ll see this.
But Twitter’s double-standard when it comes to users “inciting” violence is beyond measure. On August 15, leftist and lesbian feminist journalist for The Guardian, Julie Bindel Tweeted that “All men are rapists and should be put in prison and then shot.”
How sweet.
Julie’s still going strong on Twitter. And if Milo had been left-wing and said the same thing, one suspects he would still have a platform on the Tweet-deck as well.

And such party loyalty.......the whiff of 1940's era Europe assaults the nostrils.
Just like that (snaps fingers), Twitter creates "the Master Race."
The little paper-hanger would be proud.
Very important post!
Twitter might suck rocks, but YOU ROCK!
