Twitter attacks on a female politician who dares to pass judgement on a music album

[cinnamonnut]

The women in question is a conservative politician in the US - Michelle Malkin. Regardless of her political views (I'm not in agreement with many of her views), nobody deserves the disgusting level of threats she got.

Essentially, she criticised a music album by a rapper called "The Game" (or something) and he got his followers to attack her - there have been so many disgusting rape and death threats from young men (and a couple of from women too.)

There's a summary here with many of the tweets:

twitchy.com/2012/12/13/fox-news-michelle-malkin-brace-for-mass-exodus-of-viewers-as-the-game-urges-boycott/

I can't believe so many people think it's okay to threaten people like that. A clear complete lack of respect for women as people.

Well tbf boycotting FOX news is sure to lead to a rise in women being treated as humans...and once this happens rappers who see them as asses to bounce about in the back of videos will die out.

Of course, Fox News is hoping that this row will distract people from the amount of misogyny they usually put out all by themselves...
