It's a cold world. Lunatic Convergence Theory Nir Rosen, the far-left journalist who joked about the sexual assault on Lara Logan, has company: Debbie Schlussel, the extreme right-wing commentator. Rosen calls for the elimination of Israel, and is a pro-Hamas Hezbollah apologist; Schlussel is a racist anti-Muslim commentator. They come from radically different places on the political spectrum, and yet they share a common inhumanity....

As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk, the Law runneth forward and back; For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.

That is simply awful!! This poor woman was repeatedly attacked/raped. It's not something that's her fault, or to be taken lightly. Like the article states, I'll too ask.., How far past disgusting is this?TIS

From what I heard on the news this morning, Rosen has apologized and resigned his position at NYU.

It is sickening and disgusting, I don't care what someone's politics are. They should find the culprits and emasculate them IMHO. The lefties and righties should cease fire on this issue. I agree wholeheartedly. They should, but they won't.  Rosen explains his apology here. Of course he does not back down from taking shots at Logan so is it really an apology if you simultaneously say here's why I did it? Schussel , who unfortunately went to U-M and is a local stain, will likely not apologize.

How a woman's rape can divide a nation politically is beyond fucking belief  . It makes me more and more apolitical. There's only one "side" here. The side of decency. Rosen is the one who should be raped. And I don't mean by one of those double-headed rubber things, either. I mean anally violated by a 300 pound inmate somewhere. Give the guy some incentive, offer him a sentence reduction.

There should be nothing political about so violent and so personal attack.  This poor lady went through hell and I feel very badly for her. BTW, I never heard of her til now and know nothing about her politics but that has nothing to do with the brutal attack. Am I correct in assuming the attackers (20 I heard if you can imagine) will likely not be found let alone tried. Is that possible??? TIS

Didn't Obama call her and wish her the best or something? I wonder how many votes he will get for doing that. I wonder how many votes he'll lose for doing that.... there are assholes all over the country.

But she was the victim here, so why would they hide this tragedy? I heard one defense that was akin to the "protecting of a rape victim's identity" school of thought. Not that I necessarily disagree with that on a privacy level for Lara's sake, but I just don't buy it (when I consider this was CBS who sat on it). IF CBS withheld the story for the sake of their employee's privacy, I applaud them for that. Sure, this story is newsworthy, but I think the woman's privacy in light of the nature of this crime is paramount.

but I'd rather be known for having a micropenis. Aren't you already known for that? Yes, but I see no reason to discuss it here.

And a plague on The Atlantic for giving them space. Good point, TB. There's a fine line between respecting the First Amendment and outright sensationalism. The Atlantic crossed it by giving a forum to these imbeciles.

I'm just always skeptical of CBS...well, ALL of 'em, actually. Remember Dan Rather? You mean, Dan "What's the Frequency" Rather?? There was a time when CBS was THE news bureau!! When Bill Paley ran the network and Edward R. Murrow and Walter Cronkite did the news. That was a LOOOOONG time ago, though. You're right ~ they're ALL questionable now.
