Talk about a ratio: Bill Rue, author of two novels no one’s heard of, currently has racked up one retweet and nearly 600 comments on his below-the-belt dig at Brit Hume, which began with a tweet by The Washington Examiner’s Byron York:
When FISA application was released, critics who slammed the Nunes memo last February started slamming it again. But there's a problem: It's almost entirely accurate, and the FISA memo supports that view. https://t.co/CDAKVIXJSO

Much-maligned Nunes memo turns out to be correct on FISA warrant application. https://t.co/FJGFQNuLvO

That was apparently too much for Rue to handle:

Update: It looks like Rue finally wised up and deleted his tweet; here’s a screenshot:
The tolerant Left, huh?
What a vile and disgusting thing to say. You disagree with his politics so you dive into the depths of the gutter? Where is your humanity? Disgraceful

Dear @twitter: What does it take to get someone kicked off this platform? https://t.co/ABEn4xSj7j

you really need to re-think your life choices if you are writing something like this

@TwitterSafety Seriously. You cannot allow this.
— WhateverLolaWants (@lolaburger510) July 23, 2018
What the hell is the matter with you? Shame on you and who or whatever raised you. Vile piece of garbage. I hope you never have to suffer the pain that Brit and his family deal with to this day.

What an absolutely despicable statement.

You are a disgusting excuse for a human being. Go crawl back in the disease infested hole you came out of you pathetic troll.
— Jared Rabel (@JaredMRabel97) July 23, 2018
Seriously?! There is something very wrong with you to tweet this. Not sure why you can't disagree with someone without saying something that vile.

Could possibly be the most despicable comment I’ve ever seen on @twitter and I’ve seen some doozies. Man up, Billy Boy, and ask for forgiveness. Godspeed, @brithume.

Hey Rue.. you just made yourself a top 5 scumbag. I don’t often wish bad things for people but in your case I’ll make an exception. People like you make me sick.
— Maximus (@ChenaultMax) July 23, 2018
I have criticized @BritHume a lot, but your foulness disgusts me.

Wow, you just crossed a serious line. Also, shame on those 2 people who liked this comment! What is wrong with you people?!
— Annie ? (@anniemarie_24) July 23, 2018
Wow! I just don’t even know what to say anymore. I am beyond sorry for this vile tweet @brithume!
— P.A.L. (@larpmjt) July 23, 2018
You were egging to say that for a long time. You thought of th most horrible thing to say then you picked the time to say it. You couldn’t do violence In person so you sought to abuse with words. And it’s probably not he first time. You’ve been at this awhile.
— Joe Hanna (@jfhLive) July 23, 2018
I hope nothing that rises to the level of grief Mr. Hume and his family experienced with their loss ever affects you, sir. You are a callous reprehensible cad. Shame on you.

Keep up the vile, scumbag, rat filth spewing from your mouths leftists. You're precisely why millions of Independents (as I once was) have become conservatives. #walkaway

You are not a good person right now but that's okay because God still loves you. Turn to Him and ask that He removes the hate from your heart. https://t.co/ZeN0t5s6J3

Eric Bolling has been the target of the same abuse. Some people should be culled from society. Sorry for your loss, Brit, this is just evil on so many levels.

@willrue you should take a very hard look in the mirror. That was as low as a human can get., Karma has a way of righting these types of wrongs and it is not always in the same manner but is always as painful. Good luck to you.
— ScottE (@UnitedFalcon68) July 23, 2018
@willrue you should delete your account- really – you can’t get any lower as a human being even in this twitter sphere – what you said is indecent, mean spirited and just ugly

How about it Twitter? Is this worth a suspension? A Twitter time-out?
