Surprised the @washingtonpost<\/a> didn’t illo this with the word JUDENREIN shaved into pubic hair. https:\/\/t.co\/pK4pK4siAR<\/a><\/div>\n

It being a slow news day, the Washington Post<\/i> posted an article from Carey Purcell, who is miffed that the two Jewish men she dated refused to recognize her in all her WASPy glory<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In the last line, she refers to  creating a cocktail called, “A Jewish Man\u2019s Rebellion, which has a bourbon base and a bacon garnish.<\/p>\n

Well, there were two responses that were noteworthy, one a tweet from Spencer Ackerman that is the might be even more epic than his comment at an editorial meeting of the New Republic<\/i>, where he offered to, “Skullf%$# the corpse of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi to establish his anti-terrorist bona fides.”<\/p>\n

It is a work of beauty and elegance under Twitter’s 140<\/strike> 280 character limit.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, the Forward<\/i> goes for the long form, “How Come Jewish Men Keep Breaking Up With Me?<\/a>, which (obviously) goes into more detail (4347 characters), and makes what I assume to be devastating allusions to the TV show Sex and the City<\/i>.<\/p>\n

I assume that Twitter is rather a rather unaccommodating climate for Ms. Purcell right now, but please remember to take the time to heap opprobrium on the editor who selected this for publication as well.<\/p>\n

Remember the tools for such things are irony, sarcasm, and mockery, not obscene epithets or threats of violence.<\/p>\n

It’s like shooting fish in a barrel, don’t f%$# it up and make them martyrs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
