So there I was just minding my business when I stumbled across Mike “The outright leader in Philadelphia sports talk” Missanelli engaging in some well-done Twitter beef with Curt Schilling.
Why? Politics, because of course.
It all started when Schilling took Missanelli to task over a Breitbart article about an accuser of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh recanting what she had claimed during his pre-appointment hearing:
@MikeMiss975 Yes, you fell for it, college education and all. https://t.co/bGWvig55wy 2 options here 1) Admit you were 100% wrong and duped 2) Go on being a fraud and lying about a man who was wronged

So, yeah. Does Missanelli strike you as someone who would get involved in a petty back-and-forth?
All I said was pick another Republican, Mr. Chicken Coop.

Oh boy. It got worse.
Dude, go feed the chickens. The guy had a taint. So nominate one of 25 other worthy Republicans. That hard for u to understand?

“Go feed the chickens.”
New favorite insult? Maybe. Schilling then went on to call Mike an entitled liberal, which went about as well as you’d imagine it would:
Grew up working class, chicken man. No entitlement here.

Schilling continued to take on Mike as an “entitled liberal” –
No I guess 15 years in newspaper and a law degree isn’t grinding it out. This from a guy who used to wear a Mohawk. Were u a Lib then? Guess so.

It would appear that Missanelli went after Schilling for attending Junior College:
What was the class that prevented you from getting your Associate’s Degree in JC? Oh wait! I know. Political Science? TKO! Match over!

Schilling then issued an open challenge to debate ANYTHING with “the outright leader” –
I'll debate you publicly on any topic regarding politics, sports, World History, any topic, and I'll do it anywhere anytime. Getting your stupid ass in front of a public audience to see just how uninformed and useless college was would be a joy. ANY topic

Side note, this was my favorite exchange between Mike and a random guy:
That makes u feel like a tough guy? Good. Dude.
— Mike Missanelli (@MikeMiss25) November 3, 2018
Is anyone arguing on Twitter really a tough guy? Dude…
What's actually funny is he thinks he's somehow disparaging me or ragging on me because I raise farm animals. That's who they are, they honest to God think they're smarter and better than everyone and that makes me laugh given how stupid they look trying to prove it. https://t.co/m6qpY33PHM
