#FreeChrisLoesch Twitter Husband Defends his Political Media Wife and Gets Suspended

I am not a political person.  I do not debate politics here on my blog, or in real life.  I’m like a drunk on life’s highway; sometimes I will drift a little left, sometimes I drift a little right.  So far I haven’t driven it off a cliff.  There are probably 15% of Americans who are true die hard Republicans, and 15% who are true die hard Democrats, leaving a solid 70% to fall somewhere between the two extremes.

This year is an election year and well politics are pretty damned hard to avoid.  Especially  when they show up in your Twitter stream.

Dana Loesch is the Conservative’s Pin Up Girl.  She was a big name in the Tea Party, until the Tea Party jumped the shark, then Dana jumped ship.  She’s funny, she’s smart, she’s beautiful, she’s making a name for herself on the National level, she had balls bigger than some guys I know.

And she’s a hometown girl made good.  Dana is from St. Louis, has her own radio show here.  It’s really hard not to love a girl who provides us with sound bites such as “I’m sure I could beat off a brains hungry zombie”

I follow Dana on Twitter because at night she retweets all the hate tweets she gets during the day.  It would be entertaining if it wasn’t so vile and full of hatred and vitriol. Dana, being Dana, and having a platform to speak her mind, understandably becomes a target for those who oppose her point of view. It comes with being in the public eye.

But when someone on Twitter says well….

well, that’s crossing the line.  Her husband Chris agreed. And stepped up to defend his wife, on Twitter.

Within hours, Chris’ Twitter account had been repeatedly marked as spam, and his account was suspended.   Dana obviously, tweeted about it, and for most of the night, Dana’s fans and followers Tweeted, and retweeted their outrage at the progressives and at Twitter, using the hashtag #FreeChrisLoesch.  Before I went to bed, #FreeChrisLoesch was trending worldwide.  This morning, Chris’ Twitter account had been reinstated, and Dana thanked her fans and supporters.  Shortly thereafter, Chris’s account was once again reported as spam repeatedly, and subsequently suspended.  Even with Twitter aware of the circumstance, and reinstating Chris’ account, it still managed to be suspended three times in 75 minutes this morning.  Once again, Dana and her fans took to the Twitter and started flooding Twitter streams with the hashtag #FreeChrisLoesch.  It made it so far as to be trending nationwide.

My last post was about bullying, and what my daughter has been going through this entire year.  Bullying doesn’t stop with a diploma.

As of air time for The Dana Show, (12:00 CST) @ChrisLoesch was back on Twitter.  As I sit here writing this it is 2:14, so his account has been active for over two hours without any further suspensions.
