Scott Walker and Twitter

UPDATE: Scott Walker is back on Twitter.


________________

The Democrats must really be terrified of Scott Walker.

They're so threatened that they're already fighting dirty.

On the heels of Milwaukee County Board Chairman Lee Holloway's absurd charges of racism, it seems that Walker has become a victim of a denial-of-service attack.

Why is it the Left employs such tactics to harm political opponents?

Where's the civility?

From the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel:

Scott Walker practically launched his campaign for governor through the social networking Web site Twitter.

Now, something or someone seems to be attacking the county executive's Twitter account.

Walker's campaign explained what happened to the Twitter account Monday on - where else - Facebook.

"This afternoon, our Twitter account was the victim of attack from opponents of our movement. We comply with the Terms of Service for Twitter and are working to rectify the situation. In the meantime, keep up with our campaign by following our Facebook Fan Page," the campaign page says.

Jill Bader, communications director for Walker's campaign, confirmed that the Walker camp believes political opponents reported Walker's tweets as spam, prompting Twitter to shut down the account, at least temporarily.

..."We do believe it was a coordinated effort by detractors, since Scott's account has been in compliance with the Twitter terms of use and we have not been unfollowing and refollowing people on Twitter," she said. "It's unfortunate, but it's the kind of childish tactics you can expect from our opponents - and shows that Scott's growing online presence is clearly posing a threat."

This is so typical of the conscienceless Leftists.

Those responsible for this have no shame.

They have no respect for free speech. They're a disgrace.
