Liberal Scumbag’s Reaction to Lara Logan Being Raped: “No Sympathy For Her, She Was a Major War Monger”… From NYU’s Nir Rosen (who also writes for the WaPo among many other MSM outlets): Is it too much to ask for Rosen to trip and fall into oncoming traffic? (NRO)- The news from CBS about correspondent Lara Logan’s assault in Egypt is awful beyond words. At a time like this, we all feel helpless. And angry. The perpetrators, anonymous men in an angry mob, may never see justice. Perhaps we can channel that frustration and anger towards righting a wrong closer to home. To some other outrage… say… the reaction to Logan’s assault from a fellow at the NYU Center for Law and Security, Nir Rosen. Nir Rosen deleted some of his worst comments about Logan on his Twitter feed, but… it’s the Internet. It’s never gone forever. I’m sure Rosen will apologize at some point, and perhaps we’ll get some tut-tutting statement from NYU about the need for “civility” and “restraint” and “sensitivity.” Brows will be furrowed. Maybe they’ll hold a seminar about technology and emotional reactions to breaking news events. But let’s just remember one thing going forward: Nir Rosen believed this was the right moment to let the world know that he “ran out of sympathy for her” and that we should “remember her role as a major war monger” and that we “have to find humor in the small things.” Your move, NYU.

Lara Logan was obviously unprepared for her job. I wonder if she'll sue CBS for not training her for the assignment? I feel badly for her, but I have never been under the illusion it was safe for me to mix with a worked up crowd, and I don't agree with her choice. (I know..........for her it was a career move) I would have been especially timid about entering a crowd like what we saw in Egypt. Lara probably thought the crew she was with would protect her.
