CNN’s Tapper to ‘sickening’ liberals: ‘Go find some humanity’
The Extract ^ | 5.9.17 | Editor

In the wake of a prominent Second Amendment advocate’s shooting death this week, CNN’s Jake Tapper posted a tweet calling the loss “horrible” and offering condolences for Bob Owens’ loved ones.

Owens, who edited the website Bearing Arms, was found dead Monday, leaving behind a wife and two young daughters.

In response to Tapper’s tweet, a number of Owens’ critics shared their joy over his death. The anchor shot back with a couple of his own posts.

Even if a lot of the stuff he says isn't respectable -- this is.

The liberals are keeping it classy, as usual.

Liberals don’t have any humanity..humanity is something you are born with, and liberals didnt get that genetic trait

Just unfair fake Tapper trying to rescue his un-rescuable reputation.

I believe in giving credit where credit is due.

Tapper deserves credit for this.

In some small way, his eyes were opened to what these people truly were, if even for a moment.

That is good.

““I didn’t like everything he said or did,” Tapper wrote to one user, “but he is now dead and he left behind a wife and children. Go find some humanity.”

In a follow-up tweet, he wrote that it is “sickening” to see “a lot of liberals dancing on the grave of a conservative.”

Good for you, Mr. Tapper! Thank you. I am sure the family appreciates your comments.

Perhaps there is hope for CNN after all...

Hope you’re prepared, Mr. Tapper, for the likely backlash I’m guessing will come from your bosses...

I agree — credit where credit is due.Tapper’s bias in the media has been disgraceful but he never came across to me as an A-hole like Olbermann, Mathews or Maddow.

I can’t comment on that, as I haven’t had cable for about four years now.

If folks would reach out at times like this with a kind word, who knows what might come of it.

I appreciate your observations.

Does anyone believe he shot himself? I don’t.

Thanks to Tapper for showing some humanity with his comments.

WAY TOO MANY knowledgeable gun advocates, trainers, long gun experts, gun makers, and producers who are well known have died or were killed under mysterious circumstances.

Chris Kyle comes to mind, as does the well known expert on YouTube, shot in the back of the head, down some country dirt road.

Exactly.

Why can't some people show some civility and give the guy credit for speaking out?

He seems like a decent man, albeit liberal.

They sure didn't get any morality either.

Libs are like unruly children.

You gotta give them a carrot when they actually do something right and use the stick on them when they act like they normally do...

We are just so used to seeing “stick worthy” behavior that any carrots we might hand to them have become withered and spoiled....

Kudos to Jake Tapper, but liberals don't usually believe in a widely shared humanity. They believe that the world is divided into oppressors (white men, especially conservatives) and their victims (everyone else). Members of the oppressor group are bad, members of the victim group are good. Nothing unites the two groups. They have no common ground.

Bob Owens was a member of the oppressor class, therefore liberals celebrate his death. They could not care less about the "content of his character" as revealed through his actual words and deeds.

Liberal trolls are perfecting the tactic of guttersnipe on the internet. They’re cowards who’ll say things online they’d never say to your face.

Uh... No, there's none. They're probably cable TV's number one source of leftist propaganda. There's no hope that they'll suddenly somehow come to their senses. None at all.

They don’t like humanity. Everything they do it’s trying to put a stop to it in one way or another.
