"An Arkansas lawmaker has lashed out at a local reporter, saying that calling out his anti-Muslim posts on Facebook has painted a target on him and is putting his family at risk.
According to Max Brantley of the Arkansas Times, State Sen. Jason Rapert (R) claims the Brantly has been careless with his tweets pointing out that Rapert has posted videos on his Facebook page that call for violence against Muslims.
According to the Republican lawmaker, posting the videos is not touting or promoting it is simply sharing.
You persist in being careless. You played fast and loose with the truth, Rapert wrote to Brantley. So now the national support group for all things Islamic has put a target on me as a result of YOUR messaging. I hold you personally responsible if ANY threats come against me and my family as a result of this.
Rapert added, You are as dangerous with your pen as a terrorist with a weapon.

America is no longer friendly to the rest of the world, we are now a very real danger to you.

(17,019 posts)it's promoting which I'm sure he didn't because he would have said that and he didn't. Proud enough to post it but sad when called out on it. What a little snowflake.
