...”This is just simply the internet-age equivalent of mob rule. Nothing more, nothing less.”
Rush said today that the people using social media like Twitter to trash Indiana are not from there and are an organized group trained to do this kind of thing with only a few people. Of course, the media is pleased to help initiate Mob rule, just like in Ferguson, MO.
Yes, I heard that, and noted it well. Rush also said somewhat cryptically that he had researched this phenomenon well, and that he knew what he was talking about. I had to turn the radio off and go back to work at that time, but I assume he had had his crack research staff check into the dynamics behind the "Stop Rush" agitators on Twitter (or was it Facebook?).
It's very interesting. It's a direct result of the "Wild West" aspect of the Internet. In the old-time west, a mob could do a lot of damage - including murder, even multiple murders - and no law could offer protection. In fact, the law might be on the side of the mob, which is what is happening in this case.
