More from Nir Rosen, expert on Mideast sexual assault
It turns out that the Lara Logan incident was not the first time journalist Nir Rosen had opined on the subject of female journalists being assaulted in the Middle East. On August 2, 2010, during an interview with the Columbia Journalism Review about Wikileaks, Rosen had offered another nugget of trenchant observation on the topic:
[Q]Women have an easier time getting around?
[A]In general in the Muslim world, non-Muslim women are at an advantage. There’s like a force field around them, people don’t want to come too close. Jill Carroll maybe was an exception, but there haven’t been that many women who I know of that have been attacked. Maybe groped here and there. Men are just maybe more uncomfortable around women, or don’t even see them.
sounds like Nir needs to shut his mouth lest he appear to be a putz. Insert right (ahem) foot and proclaim that the beyotch deserved it. A day later insert foot number 2 by instrumentalizing the appropriate outrage at comment #1 with socially fashionable mouthings that if she had been a “woman of color” the story would have never made the news. So now the premise is that all ‘progressives’ are left to find the balance point between the political incorrectness of laughing at sexual violence against women and gays (he couldn’t leave Anderson out of it) against the political correctness of using a woman’s rape as a teaching moment about racial inequity. I have a better idea: STFU.
Here’s hoping that Nir Rosen get’s gang raped sometime soon and an American Flag shoved up his a$$.
