Pretty classless thing to say, and then respond like this:

Guth said Thursday that gun rights advocates had orchestrated a social media campaign against him.

"I respect their First Amendment rights and it would be nice if they would respect mine," Guth said. "And, by the way, I even respect their Second Amendment rights.

"Frankly, my plan is to be the calm in the center of the storm," Guth said. [emphasis mine]

What a jackass. I love how he's trying to take the high road after delivering a low blow. He's not a victim even if he wants to play one.

Of course he's not a victim. He's a liberal a-hole who wants to capitalize on the victimization of others and turn his political and philosophical adversaries into victims.

Anybody notice that all these atrocities ARE NOT being committed by NRA members, but by Obama supporters.

That is certainly one heck of a tweet.

"The medium is the message"

You have a platform which unquestionably thrives on unfiltered accounts, often uncorroborated accounts, delivered instantaneously to the world... and then somehow folks forget how that works. A journalism professor should know better. In fact, that is what I find the most offensive here... this dude was supposed to be the bastion of how this stuff works... the exemplar of practice.

Weirdo.
