Blasey Ford facing online threats, 'doxing,' moves out of home

https://www.mercurynews.com/2018/09/18/blasey-ford-facing-online-threats-doxing-moves-out-of-home/

At 10:28 Tuesday morning, a Twitter account with a white nationalist talking point for its handle posted Christine Blasey Ford’s personal address.

The account called for “peaceful protests” at Ford’s home in Northern California over her accusation that Judge Brett Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her at a party in the early 1980s when they were teenagers. The allegation was a “hoax” orchestrated by the “deranged left,” the account tweeted.

Ford and her family have moved out of their home as a security precaution, and she and her husband are staying apart from their two children. “She’s spending her time trying to figure out the logistics of her life as it is now and how to keep herself and her family safe,” the person said.

Twitter spokesman Ian Plunkett declined to say whether the site suspended any accounts or deleted any tweets for revealing personal information about Ford. “If we receive reports of violations, we will take action where appropriate,” he said.

From more inane crazy stuff like shooting or setting fire to their Nike’s or Keurig products to this. They are insane and have lost any ability for critical thinking or nuance. This is 21st Century Reichstag Fire stuff.

This is the end result of Reagan, near the end of his 2nd term and likely at the beginning of his Alzheimer’s, agreeing to get rid of the long standing Fairness Doctrine....which led to Fox News, Limbaugh, etc.

I share the apprehension of people like Michael Moore.
