@ZerlinaMaxwell Should Never Be Threatened for Making Stupid Comments, But That's No Excuse for Stupidity

Oh mercy, John Marshall, the homo editor-in-chief at TPM, has his Calvin Kleins in a wad over the attacks-nobody's-even-heard-of against the lovely young progressive Zerlina Maxwell.

Look, stupid idiots who are clearly not conservative attacked her with vile, illiterate slurs such as, "Nigger! I hope you get raped and your throat slit. May be then you understand why white women have to be armed! DIE BITCH!" There are two more like this embedded at the post. And zOMG! The Interwebz is just terrible. That's RAAACISM!

Or, in Marshall's words, "Monstrous" (at Memeorandum):

This is a kind of blood-curdling story I just learned about this afternoon. Zerlina Maxwell is an acquaintance who I’ve watched from a distance as she builds a media career as a progressive pundit and activist — succeeding to an amazing degree while also getting a law degree. I met her for I think only the second time in person at my birthday party last weekend. I just found out that since an appearance on Hannity on Tuesday she’s basically been under an escalating online assault filled with racist epithets and threats of rape all for stating what I think is a fairly straightforward opinion on the intersecting issues of guns and rape.

Oh jeez yes, the world is coming to an end. Say Josh, you think you might spend a day reading Twitchy? I know you're a first generation blogger, but new social media is not hard. Try it. You'll see how this depraved kinda stuff makes the progressive left go 'round. And by the way, Ms. Zerlina's "straightforward opinion" is lame. She shouldn't be threatened for making stupid statements, but she should certainly hit "block and report" rather than cry like a freakin' little black baby whose mom's too busy with a crack pipe to pay her any attention. Duh.

Did you listen at the clip? Ms. Zerlina's been programmed by extreme left ideology toward seeking to socially re-engineer the entire world. Pro Tip: Men know rape is wrong. Just the same as men know murder is wrong. But some men (or women for that matter) don't care whether a criminal act is wrong. They will commit the crime anyway. That's why all the social engineering in the world won't protect a woman from the potential crime of rape. And thus, it's not politically incorrect to suggest that women arm themselves with guns against such attacks. It's common sense. The implication of the leftist position is to dis-empower women and make them perpetual victims. And for a black woman to be making such a case, given America's history of slavery and Jim Crow segregation, is downright shameful. Be that as it may, progressives and feminists occupy another world, an ideological world that is more likely to get them raped and killed regardless of the actions of some deranged Internet trolls tweeting on the web.
