‘Give it up, champ’: Matt Yglesias can’t dig their way to avoid it of ‘Sopranos’ Vox-hole

http://twitter.com/#!/BobbyBigWheel/status/504790726446964736

As Twitchy reported, these days, Vox published the big news that “Sopranos” creator David Chase verified that Tony Soprano didn’t perish inside finale. Annnnnnd they immediately ended up with egg on their face.

However for just what it’s well worth, Matt Yglesias is trying to perform interference:

Oh, bless their li’l heart.

Vox: David Chase reveals exactly what occurred inside finale. Chase: No I didn’t Vox: It’s not for you to decide, shut-up.— John Ekdahl (@JohnEkdahl) August 28, 2014

It’s enjoyable to view Yglesias backpedal. It’s a lot more fun to call him out on it:

Fail: Obama: ‘Step in right direction,’ ‘Don’t read too much into it’

http://twitter.com/#!/KurtSchlichter/status/221284305748500480

As Twitchy reported earlier, the White House pulled the old “don’t read too much into it” when talking about the latest jobs report. Oh, yeah, and they have used the same line thirty times in just the past 32 months. Someone needs to recalibrate that teleprompter!

Twitter users immediately, and deservedly, began to mock the phrase.

Gawker takes sympathetic look at pedophiles; readers suggest #GawkersNextArticle

http://twitter.com/#!/kirstenpowers10/status/244543980593872896

Fox News analyst Kirsten Powers is only one of many who are “super troubled” by an article published yesterday by Gawker which takes a sympathetic look at pedophiles. And by “sympathetic,” we mean depraved.

I wrote this big piece about trying to find sympathy and new treatments for pedophiles. Check it out, maybe: http://t.co/Sf8yapFu #longreads

— Cord Jefferson (@cordjefferson) September 7, 2012

The morally bankrupt article, written by Gawker editor and self-described progressive Cord Jefferson, is titled “Born This Way: Sympathy and Science for Those Who Want to Have Sex with Children.” It begins with a graphic account of sex with a 7-year-old girl — not rape, not molestation, but “sex.” It ends with a plea for understanding of this particular “sexual orientation”:

The old adage is that the true mark of a society is how it treats the weakest in its ranks. Blacks, women, Latinos, gays and lesbians, and others are still in no way on wholly equal footing in America. But they’re also not nearly as lowly and cursed as men attracted to children. One imagines that if Jesus ever came to Earth, he’d embrace the poor, the blind, the lepers, and, yes, the pedophiles.

While the revolting article appears under Gawker’s “Science” banner, many are outraged by the overall tone of the piece, which forgoes use of the terms “rape” and “assault” with only two exceptions: when describing threats made against pedophiles; for example, “Outside of jail, it’s not uncommon for average citizens to harass and assault pedophiles.”

@cordjefferson A man can not "fall" for his 7 yr old niece.. Your article implies a child seduced a grown man. http://t.co/kyCGueCU

— Kirsten Powers (@KirstenPowers) September 8, 2012

@Cordjefferson Also, a man having sex with a 7-yr old girl is not a 'sexual relationship" — it's rape and molestation http://t.co/kyCGueCU

Dang, @gawker. I disliked your rag when it attacked me and the FBI. But your latest opinion made me want to vomit. Pedophilia is not ok.

Next, @Gawker will be defending Rape as just a sexual orientation.

So…@cordjefferson posted this piece of depraved intellectual excrement on @Gawker: http://t.co/koIgJwce. And u wonder why I hate people.

— This Will Kill You (@stephenkruiser) September 8, 2012

Just read the 'Sympathy for Pedophiles' article. I'm physically ill. Not going to link to it. But I would like to say: Fuck you, @Gawker.

— Kimberly C (@conkc2) September 8, 2012

Is anyone all that surprised @Gawker threw their lot in with pedophiles?

— Bob Owens (@bob_owens) September 8, 2012

So, what’s the point of trying to prove that pedophilia is just another sexual orientation with which one is born? “If this research proves to be correct,” writes Jefferson, “it should help shape both our public policy and our public attitude, so that we’re protecting kids while also protecting pedophiles from angry mobs, cellmates, and themselves.”

With no attempt to even hide its agenda, Gawker inspired the #GawkersNextArticle hashtag. Just how low can you lower the bar while keeping the progressive language highbrow?
