Actor, conservative, Trump-supporter, and acid-tongued, whipsmart Twitterer James Woods was "passcoded" from his Twitter account on Friday evening. By "passcoded", I mean he was locked out of his account. His account is still open and his Tweets remain but he is not longer allowed to access it.

The offending tweet was posted above. The very bizarre reply from Twitter is posted here:

Woods is a very important voice in our fight. He needs to be defended.

This cannot be allowed to stand.

Wouldn’t removing his post affect an election?

Evidently. So they are breaking their own rules.

The only way that post would be misleading is if the reader were a humorless idiot, or Democrat. It’s a meme for gosh sakes.

Wow! Do they have 12 year olds making the decisions at Twitter or are they admitting that democrat men are so stupid they could be influenced by that Tweet?

Its called shadow banning.

But its legal because the First Amendment only prohibits government censorship.

Webmasters and individuals are free to decide what speech they will allow on their Internet sites/pages.

The liberals at Twitter are free to do what they want.

I’ve been following him for a year. I love his sarcastic sense of humor. That tweet he was banned for was mild. There are worse offenders that get away.

I follow James Woods on twitter. Enjoy his comments and tweets. This censorship is not right.

This is what I wrote in the comments section from the article link on The Liberty Daily:

If Twitter thinks Woods' post could be misleading, then they're basically admitting that Democrats are gullible, and dumber than a box of rocks!

James Woods, in addition to being a great actor and a standup guy, is a tremendous voice for freedom of speech in America.

The boss of Twitter is a loser.

Twitter acts like it’s supposedly the social conscience of the nation.

Media Matters, and other Soros backed groups, employs many dozens of people who peruse the internet 24/7 looking for posts to complain about. It’s what they get paid to do. They follow and track large conservative voices, and drop “abuse” complaints by the gross. Shotgun method. Complain about the slightest thing, maybe a mod of their ilk will ban someone.

Other paid groups of them try to start advertiser boycots. David Brock, the fudgepacker, sponsers lots of them. As does Obama’s monkeys, OFA. Lots and lots of these grouos out there, flush with cash from Steyer, Soros, etc.

Get enough flying monkeys with typewriters, only takes 0.1% success rate to change the world.

They are ALWAYS after Rush and Hannity. Now they are high-fiving about Woods. Dorsey will reverse it if enough of us tweet him with the same message, but it’s a war of attrition. Marxists REQUIRE censorship, because their ideas never actually work. Can’t have people telling the truth.

Is it just me, or do the guys in that pic look creepy as hell with their wide open mouthed grins?
