It's Why We Call Them Rethugs, Cont'd.


Far right-wing Kansas Gov. Sam "Brown Shirt" Brownback is apparently thuggish enough that he had his State employee press secretary track down a high school senior, Emma Sullivan, that tweeted a critical comment about him, and had the student reprimanded by her gutless principal. How's that for jackbooted behavior wasting taxpayer resources while violating the student's First Amendment rights? Why does Brown Shirt feel criticism of him has to be suppressed? Hopefully, Ms. Sullivan will sue and win.

Time and again, the first recourse of wingnuts like Brown Shirt is to shut criticism down through demagoguery or force. And yet, they'd have you believe that they hold the Constitution's Bill of Rights sacred. Thugs.
