Congresswoman deleting critical Facebook comments after "acid throwing" controversy erupts
http://j.mp/NarhLc (Huffington)
The apology came one week after Townsend's vicious online rant, in
which he wrote "Let's hurl some acid at those female democratic
Senators who won't abide the mandates they want to impose on the
private sector." ...
Hundreds of negative comments on her Facebook page have been removed,
according to screenshots provided by Becker. The selective editing has
not gone unnoticed by her readers. "If Nan is so blameless why is she
running away from comments made by her own constituents and wiping out
the posts of concerned citizens? Innocent people don't run away and
hide. If you have nothing to be ashamed of Ms. Hayworth why are you
scrubbing your FB pages?" wrote one commenter. Another person added:
"It says a lot that you only keep comments from the ones who praise
you. Says a lot about character."
