George Tierney, who is apparently a golf caddy from Greenville, South Carolina, thought it would be funny to call Sandra Fluke names on Twitter. Being blissfully unaware of how the Internet in general and Twitter in particular work, he was rather appalled to find his words retweeted to Ms. Fluke's followers, who number around 36,000, and now is dismayed to learn that his name is all over the Internet as a sexist fucknut. He apparently threatened legal action against the TBogg blog for screencapping his tweets. He seems to think that he can successfully sue TBogg for quoting his tweets, and he also thinks it's within TBogg's power to remove his name from Google.

Well, far be it from me to pass up an opportunity to make a sexist fucknut realize that there are consequences for calling a woman a cunt in public, so I write this here post in the hopes that it will add to the pile of Google hits about George Tierney, who is a golf caddy from Greenville, South Carolina (just in case there's any doubt that I'm talking about the sexist fucknut who is from Greenville, South Carolina and not some other George Tierney).

Hi, George! Welcome to the 21st century.

And yes, he has the right to call Ms. Fluke a cunt. And I have the right to call him a sexist fucknut. Ain't freedom awesome?
