Two major Radical Right Twitter sites are Rebuild The Party and Top Conservatives on Twitter. Great, the Radical Right was not content with destroying the economy, the enviornment, international relations, the auto industry, Wall Street, the housing market, New Orleans, eastern Tennessee, Iraq and the US government, they have now set their sights on the internet. They call this the Sidam Touch — when everything you touch breaks.
