Washington Post “Right Now” blogger David Weigel once again has shown that he’s a peculiar choice to report on conservatism, after he bashed both traditional marriage proponents and Matt Drudge. On May 1 he tweeted, “I can empathize with everyone I cover except for the anti-gay marriage bigots. In 20 years no one will admit they were part of that.” Weigel attempted to defend his tweet in a May 3 article, “Covering Same-Sex Marriage,” but by then other members of the media had pointed out Weigel’s obvious bias on Twitter.
Weigel seems to be slow to learn from his mistakes, as this is the second time in under a week that his Twitter activity landed him in hot water. The previous incident included a “joke” accusing Drudge of child rape.

I had no idea he was being marketed as a conservative. It’s always been clear to me that he’s cut from the same cloth as Media Matters. I just assumed his assignment was to mock anyone to the right of the Code Pinkos.
Proving once again that if they ain’t socially conservative, they ain’t conservative, period.
Sounds more like he’s a ‘progressive bigot’.
“cover except for the anti-gay marriage bigots”
There not. They are traditional marriage supporters.
Now would he say he is part of the pro-abortation bigot or would he say he was pro-life?
Sounds like he's a light-in-the-loafers TRUE 'tea bagger".
Just guessing that David is GAY!!!
No one in their right minds could have thought he was a conservative, and most people should have known he’s a libertarian. And, it’s certainly curious how someone or some group was able to cause such a ruckus over *one tweet* after all the other things he’s done:

Maybe he’s no longer useful to those signing his checks, whoever that is.
