Liberal writer tweets hoping wounded lawmaker dies, says 'respect for human life' doesn't apply to GOP by at 1:34 PM A left-wing writer is making no apologies after suggesting on Twitter that the Wednesday morning shooting of a Republican congressman and staffers may have been tantamount to an act of “self-defense.”
Malcolm Harris, who has a book contract with Little, Brown of New York, made tasteless tweets Wednesday morning following the shooting of at least four people in Alexandria, Virginia, including Rep. Steve Scalise (R-La.).
Harris suggested the shooting of conservative Republicans could be justified.
"If the shooter has a serious health condition then is taking potshots at the GOP house leadership considered self defense?" Harris tweeted.
Harris' biography suggested at one point he writes for the liberal news site Vox. He doesn't.
But he does have a book contract with Little, Brown of New York. The book is titled, "Kids These Days: Human Capital and the Making of Millennial." Little, Brown did not immediately return a message from LifeZette.
His author biography on Amazon lists him as a "freelance writer and an editor at The New Inquiry." His book is scheduled to hit shelves in November.
His work has also appeared in the Village Voice and The New York Times Magazine. Harris has contributed to The Washington Post and the New Republic as well. He lives in Philadelphia.
But even Harris has some sense of shame. His most incendiary tweet was deleted.
About Scalise, a Louisiana Republican, Harris tweeted, "Hearing 'David Duke without the baggage' Steve Scalise is stable, but a lot of Americans dies from hospital errors so keep crossing your fing [sic]."
Dan Gainor, vice president of Business and Culture at the Media Research Center, told LifeZette that Twitter often brings out the worst in people.
"I think people need to be more responsible for the things they say," said Gainor. "Twitter encourages people to walk right up to the edge of the cliff."
Harris did not immediately return an emailed message from LifeZette.
In a Friday op-ed for The Post, Harris lauded the alleged leaking committed by NSA contractor Reality Winner, 25, of Georgia.
Winner was arrested for leaking secrets of her employer, the National Security Agency.
"We hardly invented leaking, but millennials are especially well-suited to the tactic," Harris wrote. "It's a squirt gun we can use on our leaders when they've stepped out of line. I don't imagine that employers — public or private — are going to start inspiring loyalty or stop abusing power anytime soon, so expect the leaks to keep flowing. At least until millennials find a bigger weapon."
This crap has to stop.
And if the show were on the other foot?
Some of you former 18 Fs: target folder
He’s an ugly looking punk. Looks like he’s dying of AIDS.
And why would someone want to publish or read this pos’ book?
I just left a one star review on his latest book on Amazon.
Creepy looking little asshat!!
These poor naive fools are brainwashed beyond redemption...
do feel sorry for these id’s?
I wish nothing but the worst for them.
Playing baseball is an attack? What a silly concept.
“If the shooter has a serious health condition then is taking potshots at the GOP house leadership considered self defense?”
= = =
If the cops put him down, then he has no more pain, no more medical bills, no more requirement for meds, ...
That would be Terminal Self Medication, I guess.
Worth a read
NYT April article has some details on the baseball practice-in April. The shooter left for DC in April.

There is mention made in the thread that Comey friended someone near the park recently.
“Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks”. These peoples’ hearts are dark as the pit of hell.
Full force of condemnation needs to come down on chickenshits like this. Fired, blackballed, sued, whatever it takes to hurt them and hurt them bad. That’s the only way people are going to get it thru their stupid thick heads that this kind of crap is NOT OK, regardless of which side does it. Of course, we don’t...

Rep. Mooney stated in an interview after the attack that it was “weird” there were no journalists at the park this morning. I think maybe it was CNN (I wanted to hear how the opposition media was covering the event).
Agreed. It’s just more gasoline they are throwing on the fires
