The Sleeping Giants Twitter logo features raised fists that are almost identical to the logo of a black fist used by the Black Power movement

A Donald Trump-hating Twitter user – who is too scared to reveal his true identity because he says he fears backlash from Trump supporters – is attempting to destroy a leading conservative news site with a coordinated campaign attacking its advertisers and claiming it’s “racist.”

The anonymous Twitter user, known as Sleeping Giants, is attempting to take down Breitbart News. It takes screenshots of advertisements on Breitbart and then harasses companies that own the ads, demanding that they blacklist the news site.

And several high-profile U.S. companies are taking the bait.

Was in process of renewing my insurance with Allstate, but after reading this, will look elsewhere.

The liberal chattering class complain about Breitbart contributors ganging up on them.  Yet the very next second they turn around and recruit another member to their long running pack of attack dogs.

Since liberals see no problem whatsoever in using government agencies as political weapons, maybe these companies can soon expect a visit from the IRS, OSHA, the EPA and a dozen other acronym agencies.
