Using the hashtag #tolerantliberal, Mr Assange has spent a considerable amount of time retweeting articles and posts from senior journalists at organisations who appear to have called for an extrajudicial killing. <\/p>\n
In his flurry of tweets, Mr Assange included compilation videos showing both Democrats and Republican politicians in the US, calling for him to be hanged or droned. <\/p>\n
A number of videos even show TV pundits calling for the Wikileaks founder to be executed, with the Palmer Report going as far as to compare him to terrorist Osama Bin Laden. <\/p>\n

In response, he launched a scathing attack at the mainstream media for their lack of standards. <\/p>\n
Mr Assange wrote: These journalists love nothing more than to threaten to help assassinate me and my staff and my sources for telling the truth. <\/p>\n
They couldn't dream of our accuracy or independence. I have abiding contempt for their lack of standards and craven characters. <\/p>\n
Mr Assange was once the focus of intense hate from the conservative media following the release of classified security information on his website. <\/p>\n
The tables appear to have turned however, with the hate now coming from their liberal counterparts following the publishing of leaked emails from the Democratic National Committee during last years US presidential election. <\/p>\n
In his retaliation, Mr Assange hit out at Hillary Clintons comments against him, going as far as to label her failed Presidential campaign a joke. <\/p>\n
