From Salon
All the evidence indicates that Todd Kincannon, a former South Carolina GOP operative, is a bad dude. Not only in the sense that he frequently tweets things that are hostile, bigoted and dehumanizing — which he does — but also in the sense that he’s quite likely a sexual harasser, too. A real winner.
It shouldn’t come as a surprise, then, to find that Kincannon, who regards himself as some kind of Twitter provocateur, has caused an outrage on Twitter with his latest barrage of hate-tweets. But instead of focusing his ire on Trayvon Martin, trans* people, or U.S. veterans, Kincannon has set his sights on Wendy Davis, the Texas Democrat who is currently in the midst of running her underdog campaign to become the next governor of the Lone Star State.
Davis has been receiving a ton of criticism from the right as of late over embellishing her backstory throughout her political career. While some of the criticism is valid, much of it has had a distinctly cruel and misogynistic tinge to it — like Erick Erickson’s charge that Davis is an “abortion Barbie,” or Bristol Palin’s claim that Davis was “pathetic” and proof-positive that “feminism is a farce.” The sexist accusations and insinuations have gotten so bad that they’ve inspired one Texas Republican to come out in Davis’ defense
I challenge Bristol and Sarah to denounce Todd's tweets and tell him to knock it off. I give them three days to do it. If they do it by January 31st at 12:00 pm I will cease blogging here and commenting on the other anti-Palin blogs for three months.
Sarah and Bristol are you up for the challenge?
