Update on the teen who sent out the bad tweet about Governor Brownback
Here's the story: http://www.kansascity.com/2011/11/23/3283680/students-joke-creates.html#disqus_thread

In a nutshell, Emma, an 18 year old high school senior at Shawnee Mission East High School in Prairie Village, KS, was on a school field trip in the state capitol building with a group of teenagers. The governor spoke to the group and while he was speaking Emma sent out the following tweet to her 60 followers:

Just made mean comments at gov. brownback and told him he sucked, in person #heblowsalot

The governor's communications director (who apparently has a full time job monitoring the internet for mentions of her boss) found the tweet in a Google search and contacted the Youth in Government program, which organized the students’ visit to the capital. Emma's high school was also contacted. The principal called Emma into the office, talked to her for an hour and told her she had to write letters apologizing to the governor, the Youth in Government group that sponsored the field trip and to the Social Studies department at the school. He also told Emma the school would be including a report of this incident with her college recommendations.

The story hit the local media yesterday morning and then literally exploded on Twitter and Facebook. #heblowsalot was trending for quite awhile on Twitter yesterday. Also #Brownbackblowsalot. On Facebook, people are including Brownback's name in their posts to give his staff something to do over this holiday weekend.

The Shawnee Mission school board meets on Monday night. There will be people there speaking out against Emma's punishment and asking for it to be rescinded. We are also planning a petition to Brownback asking him to take a refresher course on the first amendment.

I'll keep you posted on further developments.

Oh and hi to Brownback's staff member reading this. Hope you had time to eat some turkey yesterday. :hi:

Welcome to Brownbackistan, where Kansas used to be
C D7 G
Welcome to Brownbackistan, our new theocracy
F C C G
Brownback and Koch call all the shots, we're governed by the rich
C B A G F G C
The wealthy all get wealthier and the rest can all eat shit

Kansas has a long and proud progressive history
Suffragettes and populists and anti slavery
But now we've got a governor who rules more like a king
Consensus and the public good just really ain't his thing

When Brownback sees a camera you can bet he'll give a smile
Then turn around and lay off state employees rank and file
Our state needs jobs and there his record really ain't so great
Unless you count executives he's hired from out of state!

SRS and DOL, and kids in public schools
Arts Commission, women's health...no money there for you
To hire an old crony or fix voter fraud, we'll pay
We'll even strengthen marriage, just as long as you're not gay!

Why are you getting Brownback's name all over the place?

How many times do you think we have to mention Brownback in this thread before we seriously annoy one of Brownback's assistants?

4. People including Brownback's name on the internet, is that some kind of political action? Do we get
points for including "Brownback's name"?
Or does including Brownback's name just provide employment for some working person?

6. The idiots don't realize that their attempt to punish the girl and intimidate
other students, to suppress the expression of people's negative opinions about Brownshirt--I mean Brownback--simply increases the social media's exposure not only of his administrations Gestapo like tactics but also the degree to which he is hated here in Kansas.

12. From the comments on the article:
"Where are the cries of protest that the Governor's office is monitoring and compiling social media postings, then targeting those they see as political enemies for some form of 'counter-attack'? While I tend to dismiss as hyperbolic those who jump to the rise of Nazism in Germany when commenting on the actions of American right wing politicians, this story is truly frightening. Gov. Brownback is the one who should be writing apologies to Ms. Sullivan ... and to the people of his state for bending the Constitution (which he swore an oath to uphold) to the breaking point <emphasis added>."

18. #brownbackblowsalot Should be at the Top of the Charts Soon
I can't believe even he would be that stupid.

He also told Emma the school would be including a report of this incident with her college recommendations.


Meant to be a threat, of course, but if I were on an admissions committee I'd consider that more in her favor than any
actual recommendations coming from that POS school.

129. I agree
If Emma is smart, she should apply for Poli Sci major, show people how she leveraged this minor confrontation that could have swamped and shamed her, but instead, she rode it for all it's worth and made major notoriety for herself, her school, the principal and destroyed the BROWNBACK administration.

If there's ever a time to strike when the iron is hot, Emma, this is it. Go for the kill, don't hide out in the basement. Go, go, GO!!!

She used her personal twitter account from home to say the governor sucks, and the school thinks they have some authority? That can't be right.

in the state capital that is paid by tax dollars....

If Brownback wanted to keep the young people in line...like most Repugs he has made a huge mistake. This is only going to galvanize the young people...

Shutting down freedom of speech, threatening her school records........why should she write an apology she has every right to speak her mind....

These Repugs are scared because they know this is their last chance...it is up to us to make sure they lose all of their power.

137. No, Brownback is
not denying he sucks ( he sucks more than a hoover vacuum cleaner), he is upset because she didn't pay him a nickle when she said that he, Brownback sucks. He, Brownback, uses those nickles to pay the donkeys (I heard it is mules) that bugger him (Brownback), because the donkeys (or mules ) wont do it (or Brownback) for free. I would tell him (Brownback) to suck my dick, but I don't want him (Brownback) coming around my house. I hope his (Brownback's) staff can find all the mentions of his (Brownback's) name in this post. As we say in my neck of the woods, "Brownback blows dead bears".

135. local and maybe national radio blowhards can apply huge pressure for punishment by riling up the tea
bagger/dittohead base, giving out names and addresses, making false associations with liberal groups(to moveon or prochoice groups, etc.), airing personal information about the girl and family, etc. as usual the nastiest and meanest shit going to the school and principle will come from the dittohead base when they hear someone like limbaugh or a local blowhard make shit up and make false associations.

radio is first defense for these bums because it is unchallenged and the chickenhawks feel no responsibility for what they say on public airwaves in getting brownback's back, regardless of age or first amendment rights.

not just voting based on the latest TeeVee ad. A lot of these guys have some pretty scary agendas. Many groups in KS tried to tell people what he was about, but they just turned a deaf ear - absolutely amazing.

38. so, if we write brownback and #blowsalot in the same sentence. . .
and then we google brownback, will we find brownback blowsalot at the top of the listings. I imagine brownback (blowsalot) will be quite pleased to rank up there with santorum (frothy mixture etc.). They just couldn't leave this alone, could they?

As for the reference to the student's "permanent record," I suspect that her google search results will be a tad more permanent.

By the way, has anyone here ever had their "permanent record" have an impact on anything once done with high school?

And fire the principal? Anyone without a simple, basic knowledge of the Constitution doesn't belong in either of those two jobs.

As if 'heblowsalot' is a cuss word.

Got into an interesting debate yesterday afternoon with a wingnut who claimed Brownback was acting 'in loco parentis' and since Emma was a guest in his house, he had every right to correct her. And wow, does that ever fit into Lakoff theory or what? Yep, that strict father needs to make sure we all behave appropriately. Wow.

That would make her a legal adult. (And I don't buy how in loco parentis has been stretched to include situations where young people are legal adults. If you're an adult you're an adult).

52. Yes she is
My understanding of in loco parentis is that this is why parents sign field trip notes. They are giving the school permission to care for their child (especially in case of an emergency) when the school takes the students on field trips. And I seriously doubt this girl's mother gave the governor that right.

And yes since she is 18 she's an adult.

So for this young woman to say he 'blowsalot' is correct from her 'I'd like to live if something goes wrong with a pregnancy' point of view.

Brownback enjoys oppressing 51% of the population...he blowsmorethanalot.

He used to work on Wall Street. I didn't know about Opus Dei until a few years ago. It's a segregated system (male/female) and I remember that Clarence Thomas joined it as well...I believe other SCOTUS are members. Scalia, I assume.

This mccluskey gives me the creeps...as does opus dei...just more ways to oppress women and allow men to do weird sexual crap.

If I heard of an incident where a high schooler posted online "Just made mean comments at Gov. Jerry Brown" (Brown is my state's D gov) and that was it I would be offended (duh because of my political views) but wouldn't view this as something deserving of formal punishment.

115. ROTFLMAO. I wonder what the difference between
"Gov. Brownback is a Nazi-esque prick" and 'Gov. Brownback is a Nazi Prick" really is after all. :)

117. Right Wing Hate Speech On The Rise
This is nothing compared to the hate tweets that come from the Right.

Check out the Vile Tweets blog at http://viletweets.com to see the effect of the Right Wing haters on Twitter. We can easily see that they have deliberately used this tactic to poison the electorate. Sunshine is the best disinfectant. Help spread the word! Thanks.

148. Yes, no doubt, including the state Gestapo knocking down your door for
not praising Brownback. Why people elect someone like this is really beyond me to comprehend anymore, over and over as senator and then as governor. He has always been bad news.

120. If that was my child
Everyone involved with trying to punish her would have already heard from my attorney by now and I'd be working hard to get the ACLU involved. If they didn't back off I would proceed with a civil rights lawsuit on her behalf if I had to "hock the farm" to make it happen.

I'd like to say I've rarely heard of anything so vile, but these days, shit like this is becoming all too common :grr:

134. fantastic, but remember the kansas and maybe even national radio thugs will get browback's back by
sending some teabagger/dittohead emails and calls her way, maybe to home, but definitely to her school trying to get her more punishment, expelled, etc..

that is what they do. i wouldn't put it past limbaugh to mention this nationally and make up some fictitious associations with liberal groups, etc.

Does not understand the Constitution and the Bill of Rights

He should carry copies of these documents around in his pocket like the great Senator Byrd did. He read them over and over again and was probably the number one most educated person in the Congress about what those documents meant.
