Snort. That pretty much sums it up, but here is some background: Why does Backstreets Pub & Grill in Clemson, S.C., “suck at life”?
@BackstreetsPub I corrected your sign for you.@jlhowe @RichardShiller @TwitchyTeam #2Ahttp://t.co/rtU7s81r2C . pic.twitter.com/pRaSKACzjc

Boom. You see, that sneering sign was posted at Backstreets Pub & Grill. The owner then doubled and tripled down on Facebook. A righteous backlash swiftly erupted.
@BackstreetsPub still not seeing any overwhelming support of your sign. And Facebook account still shutdown.#feelingtheheat

@BackstreetsPub an apology goes a long way, and is free.
— ZeelandCap (@ZeelandCap) March 20, 2014
The bar owner did not apologize and instead posted thanks to alleged supporters.
Thanks to all the locals and friends of backstreets that have overwhelming supported me today.
— Backstreets Pub (@BackstreetsPub) March 19, 2014
Hmm. Really?

@BackstreetsPub if you have overwhelming support, why did you shut down your Facebook page ? Just curious
— Jay Jones (@bro_pa210) March 19, 2014
@BackstreetsPub only 35 favorites? you have over 600 negative review on yelp, you had to delete your facebook, and soon your twitter. HAHA
— Fat Gene Simmons (@AmericasDouche) March 19, 2014
Yep. The Facebook page has now been made private, so it cannot be accessed. However, evidently Backstreets forgot to de-link it from its Twitter feed. Genius!

Some of his best friends are guns, guys! For serious. Plus, military and stuff. Get it now, “mouth breathers”?
Attempt at backpedaling? FAILED.
@BackstreetsPub You're right, it doesn't matter, other than it proves your a hypocrite in addition to being an asshole.
— Dan Numbers (@dannumbers) March 20, 2014
@BackstreetsPub I assume you are a douchebag also since you are a concealed carry holder or are you excluded? Hypocrite maybe?

@BackstreetsPub Insulting legal gun owners and propagandizing for the illogical gun-control useful-idiots? …matters.
— ZeelandCap (@ZeelandCap) March 20, 2014
@BackstreetsPub doesn't matter how many guns you own. It's the sign you posted on your window that shows the true intent of your heart.
— King Reggie Jackson (@SirReginal) March 20, 2014
@BackstreetsPub No, after calling such a large majority of Americans "douchebags" it really doesn't matter.
— WhichWitch (@JeffersonTeaPar) March 20, 2014
Ding, ding, ding! But, hey, keep digging and spewing your nonsense. We “douchebags” totally support free speech. Speak! Speak like the wind! We love it.
We’ll end with a pointed question for the media:
Hey @CNN @ABC @msnbc – @BackstreetsPub can deny service to #LGBT who carry firearms but a Colorado Bakery is FORCED to bake a cake? #tcot
— Art Ala (@Art_Ala) March 20, 2014
We won’t hold our breath for an answer.
