WorldNetDaily columnist Erik Rush has been wishing death on some people on his Twitter account.
In a Nov. 30 tweet, the targets are George Soros and Julian Assange: “If we had the right people in government, garbage like Assange and Soros would keep their ideas to themselves – or they’d be DEAD.”
In a Dec. 2 tweet, the target is Rep. Bobby Scott, who he says is “is among those vermin the Founders (and I) would hang.” Note the weird stylized middle finger/phallic symbol at the end:
Rush doesn’t clarify why he wants Scott dead; it might be because he supports expanding the Pigford settlement. It’s bad timing for a death threat, though: Scott’s mother died last week.
