There is a ridiculous amount of ugly going on in @KirstenPowers Twitter feed. I swear some people were born without souls.

As Twitchy reported, Fox News contributor and USA Today columnist Kirsten Powers yesterday kicked off the promotion of her new book, “The Silencing: How the Left is Killing Free Speech,” and quickly fell afoul of the gay left with an excerpt published in The Daily Signal. Powers, a supporter of gay rights and same-sex marriage, said the vitriol she managed to elicit was “pretty crazy.”

Today didn’t go much more smoothly, eventually inspiring the author to offer the hashtag #ThingsKirstenPowersNeverSaid.

If you work for Fox News and don't call yourself conservative, the correct term for what you are isn't liberal. It's Useful Idiot.

@KirstenPowers @palmerkiss You and @SheriffClarke are the best Democrats Republicans could ask for. Please leave our party. #nobigots

Take note — > Defending people's right to a different viewpoint (from mine, no less) on SSM = "bigotry" https://t.co/uZWCGnvxEO

So basically, @KirstenPowers think Christians should sit down and shut up. Nice. http://t.co/lqZwOtXrxS

Glad to learn that petitions are no longer free speech, and that anger at pundits was invented in this century. @KirstenPowers @daveweigel

You didn't learn that from me. https://t.co/x6zqRqH9qt

As a proud member of the left it's my job to silence @KirstenPowers by not reading her soon to be a best selling book. That'll show her.

— Lance Mannion (@LanceMannion) May 12, 2015

Yeah especially since I never said I was silenced. But keep arguing a point i never made. https://t.co/ghjpO4RbhK

@LanceMannion looks like she's being groomed as the new Ann Coulter? The faces change, but the persecution complex stays the same.

B/c all blonde women are interchangeable. And who is "grooming" me exactly — not possible i have my own thoughts. https://t.co/hN3zIEDlaS

@HRTMotorsports @KirstenPowers @daveweigel Well, what Kirsten is arguing is that speech should be free from consequences which is illogical

— Nathaniel McDougal (@McdougNathaniel) May 12, 2015

For God's sake would ONE of you actually read the book? You have no idea what my argument is. https://t.co/b2REevHKAh

@KirstenPowers They do not need to read it to know they hate it. They are very smart!

— David Weinberger (@dweinberger66) May 12, 2015

Reaction to @KirstenPowers: "You are a horrible human being! Why do you exist!?" "This is my point." "What, can't handle simple criticism!?"

— Christopher Bowen (@superbus) May 12, 2015

Hang tough and keep speaking truth to the unhinged Left's speech-squelching power, KP. https://t.co/9sRgUabWsX

Powers will switch parties any day now, just watch.
