Reported by the Examiner: On Saturday, Mike Dickinson, the Virginia Democrat seeking the House seat currently held by Rep. Eric Cantor, R-Va., continued his online campaign of hate by denigrating all supporters of the NRA as “pure trash.” “What’s obscene to you? @HustlerMag or a group like the @NRA that supports trophy hunting and elephant killing,” he tweeted Friday.
“What on Earth does this have to do with your political campaign?” one person asked.
“[T]hat the NRA is a god awful fear mongering group and those who support the NRA are pure trash,” Dickinson said in response.
This is not the first time Dickinson has attacked members of the NRA.
In February, he called gun owners “little children,” saying guns needs to be titled and registered. He was also schooled after falsely calling the NRA “descendents of the KKK.”
Dickinson’s campaign — if it can actually be called that — has so far consisted primarily of unhinged, largely fact-free, hateful rants on Twitter.
In one tweet, for example, he called those who oppose abortion stupid, and said those who watch Fox News “ate paint chips as children.”
He has also demanded stores like Hobby Lobby close down, calling them “a wart on the face of lady liberty in the United States.”
Dickinson caught national attention when he said Fox News lies all the time and called for the FCC to monitor and regulate the network in a fashion reminiscent of the former Soviet Union.
While Dickinson’s campaign of unhinged hate is apparently designed to attract his far-left wing base — those known as “low-information voters” — it will not propel him to victory in November.
Dickinson has been called “the next Alan Grayson” by the Daily Kos, but Dickinson is nowhere near as popular among fringe progressives as Grayson.
His Facebook page, for example, has remained stuck at 27 supporters for weeks.
