If you're a prominent radio talk-show host who outspokenly supports the Second Amendment,
you will be a target of haters:
Radio host and NRA spokesperson Dana Loesch explained on
Fox News' The Story with Martha MacCallum Monday why she has been forced to pack up and move her family out of her house.
Following the Las Vegas massacre, Loesch said she and her family -- including her children -- have received credible violent and vile threats from gun-control advocates and other political opponents because of her role with the National Rifle Association.
Some of the specific threats:
Loesch tweeted on Sunday that one guy threatened to shoot her in her front yard. Another guy posted photos of her house on social media and threatened to "rape her to death," she said. Another gun-control advocate threatened to
hunt her down and assault her, and then dragged her kids into it.
She wrote: "The culture is only non-conservative women deserve respect. It’s idiotic, demonstrated daily, and deserving of more than 140 chars."
"These threats are why I'm leaving!" Loesch told MacCallum. "These threats are why I'm moving my family at a horrible time in terms of real estate, before the holidays -- which is never fun."
Loesch said she doesn't hate her political opponents, she just wants people to have a choice to carry a weapon.
It's important to give kudos where they're due, and Chelsea Clinton did the stand-up thing on Twitter:
Dana - this is all awful & unacceptable. Those of us who disagree with you the strongest have a particular responsible to strongly condemn. https://twitter.com/dloesch/status
The thread underneath Chelsea's tweet has some encouraging contributions, but a lot of them are nothing but vile and divisive garbage.
