Media silent as liberals on Twitter continue death threats against Mitt Romney

The so-called "mainstream media" has so far remained silent about death threats that continue to be issued against Mitt Romney by liberals on Twitter, Breitbart reported on Wednesday.

According to John Nolte, the reason for the media silence is simple: They "just don't care about death threats against Republicans."

The threats and death wishes, however, continue to show up on Twitter.

"Let Romney win I'm murder him ill be taught about in school FOREVER (sic)," tweeted user @itsAnthonyDoe.

"Someone shoot Romney for me," added "Jimena Aragon."

"I want to shoot Romney in between his eyes with a shotgun at close range," another person wrote.

"You don't like what I have to say don't read it, I fight for my rights & freedom of speech is one of them (sic)," user ‏@shellylesbiana wrote in response to another Twitter user who took offense at her original message.

Nolte says that media has "a sort of depraved indifference" to the threats against Romney.

"Secondly," he added, "reporting on death threats against Romney will make him a sympathetic character, and three weeks from an election, there's no way in the world the media will allow that to happen."

But he notes that members of the Tea Party "garner all kinds of brutal media attention" simply by saying the word "socialist."

"Everyday Americans in the form of Obama supporters taking to Twitter to threaten the life of a potential president and to foment a violent atmosphere against him garner absolutely no attention," he added.

Secret Service spokesman Brian Leary said the agency is aware of the online threats.

"The Secret Service is aware of this and will conduct appropriate follow up if necessary," he told the Weekly Standard in an email.
