BuzzFeed senior copywriter Josh Fjelstad went silent on Twitter today after deleting the super classy evidence of his oh-so-enlightened tolerance directed at gay conservative group GOProud.

“WOW GOPROUD FINALLY CAME OUT IN SUPPORT OF GAY MARRIAGE. SO PROGRESSIVE. SO PROUD OF YOU. SUCK MY DICK,” he tweeted, along with a link to a BuzzFeed post about GOProud’s adoption of a pro-gay marriage resolution. The resolution supports the right of each state to define marriage and calls for decisions to be made via referenda or legislation rather than judicial activism.

The tweet was also archived by the automated Twitter aggregation service Topsy.

Great argument, Josh! Changing hearts and minds, one “suck my d*ck” at a time.

@adamsbaldwin indeed, the tolerant left tolerates everything and everyone except those that disagree @GayPatriot — Chris Barron (@ChrisRBarron) January 18, 2013

He followed up with another since-deleted tweet: “It appears my last tweet’s point was somehow unclear: I’m saying that it’s offensive how long it took GOProud to support GAY marriage.”

As for Chris Barron, he’ll pass:

@maryclimer @joshfjelstad @JimmyLaSalvia he was too busy asking us to suck his dick… which i will pass on… — Chris Barron (@ChrisRBarron) January 18, 2013

If a senior copywriter at FOX News had told a pro-gay group to "suck his dick" the left would demand he was fired https://t.co/pw6MiPnJ — Chris Barron (@ChrisRBarron) January 18, 2013

And a good question from GayPatriot:

GOProud’s Executive Director Jimmy LaSalvia told Ali Akbar, “It is not an appropriate tweet from someone who is a senior copy writer at BuzzFeed. I was under the impression that BuzzFeed was a news outlet.”

Let's admit it… BuzzFeed is just a liberal bloggggg. They've been avoiding the Talking Points Memo label, but it's coming. — Ali A. Akbar (@ali) January 18, 2013
