(The Blaze) – A Congressional candidate running for the nomination to unseat House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) ignited an Internet firestorm when he appeared to go on a tirade against conservatives and the National Rifle Association Saturday night.
Mike Dickinson rejected support — on a Twitter account appearing to belong to him — from anyone who supports the NRA, is pro-life or participates in “Obama hating.”
Anyone who supports Obama hating get off my train. Anyone who supports sucking the tit of the NRA get off my train.
Rides at amusement parks say you must be this tall to ride this ride. My campaign says you must be this smart to vote for us.
Anti choice, abortion haters are all basically mentally disabled. They cannot see or reason. It’s all bible thumping
@danieljpayne @HustlerMag @NRA that the NRA is a god awful fear mongering group and those who support the NRA are pure trash
Immediately following the string of tweets, Dickinson received immediate backlash online, with individuals turning to Twitter to offer their thoughts.
@VoteMike2014 NRA member,Democrat, Tea Party I’ll be helping Eric Cantor @GOPLeader with his campaign on phone bank
You may not like the GOP but they are sure better than candidates like this–>@VoteMike2014 He needs some special attention #tcot #RedNation
Despite the overwhelming reaction to the tweets, the self-described “liberal Democrat” did not appear to issue any apologies. In fact, on Sunday morning he appeared to respond to some criticism by continuing to mock the intelligence of those questioning him.
“I went to engineering school and I support the NRA,” one person tweeted him.
“Went or graduated? RW has large college dropout rate,” a tweet on the Dickinson account replied.
