Twitter Takes 'Moment' to All But Celebrate Left-Wing Bullying of North Carolina

"HB2 is hurting North Carolina's commerce" blared the headline for a Twitter "Moment" this evening which all but celebrated the left-wing corporate and political bullying of the Tar Heel State for its law overriding a Charlotte "bathroom bill" ordinance.

Tweets marking the left-wing boycott read like a who's who of boutique liberal media outlets from VICE to Vanity Fair to The Hollywood Reporter, and, of course, The New York Times.

Hmmmm. Let's see, I offer a service for which I get compensated but because I disagree with your stance or opinion, I refuse to provide that service. No cake? Law suit. No brucey or breean adams or ringo music for you.....well that's different. Right? So refusing service is okay in one case but if you're on the "incorrect" side of the discussion, you must be cra cra and deserve to be ostracized. Sounds fair to me. NOT!

IMO, if Springsteen and Starr had contracts to appear, they should be sued for the lost profits (if any) from their ancient history performances...

I’m proud of North Carolina upholding their law...Men should NEVER be allowed to dress, shower, or pee with little girls...

And why wouldn’t they? Clearly they are winning.

Twitter was INVENTED to bully and herd people into PC compliance.

Agreed but with the star power lawyers they have they gotta have some sort of escape clause built in to the contracts. Equal treatment for all right? LOL! I saw a discussion about the bathroom issue the other day and right after they went in to a discussion about uber like car service for women only driven by women out of safety concerns. But the bathroom issue was “Let the x-gender people use anyone they choose.” Cabs, no. WTH? None are so blind as those that will not see.

Some federal judge should force Brucie to perform against his will. Then he might get an idea of what it’s like to run a bakery in Oregon....

If I boycotted all the corporations that are filled with rune by idiotic politically correct imbeciles I would probably save $50,000 a year before I starved to death.

I think we need to organize a protest where men go to liberal universities and city halls and government bulidings and corporate headquarters that allow men to use women’s bathrooms and just piss all over the seats. Do it every day. Eventually they will get the message that women just don’t want to share their toilet facilities with people who have penises.

All the older #NeverGOPe tweets have been deleted on Twitter.

Any company that supports this insanity is fair game. Any City Hall where they pass resolutions supporting this insanity is fair game. Any State building where the State sanctions this insanity is fair game.

Piss on ‘em!

I want to hear about creepy unshaven men going into the women’s rooms in the state capitol building. Walking in on the women lawmakers and the women assistants. I am dying to hear about this.

If a Christian baker can be forced to bake a cake for a gay “wedding,” even though it goes against his/her beliefs, shouldn’t Springsteen be forced to perform in NC?
