Once again, It’s time to present this week’s statuette of shame, The Golden Weasel!!
Every Tuesday, the Council nominates some of the slimiest, most despicable characters in public life for some deed of evil, cowardice or corruption they’ve performed. Then we vote to single out one particular Weasel for special mention, to whom we award the statuette of shame, our special, 100% plastic Golden Weasel. This week’s nominees were all despicable, but the votes are in and we have our winner… the envelope please…
Progressive Whack Job Sally Kohn!!
Nice Deb: I nominate Sally Kohn for being one of the first leftists out of the gate to make absurd equivocations, attack strawmen, and expose her own gross hypocrisy in the wake of the Charlie Hebdo slaughter in Paris, last week.
In a double whammy of stupidity, she tweeted:
Christians or Jews killing in name of religion = Extremists
But Muslims killing in name of religion = All Muslims??!
Come on…
Fallacy #1 She seemed to be suggesting that Christians and Jews commit terrorist attacks in similar numbers as Muslims.
Fallacy #2 She was also suggesting that a significant number of conservatives were accusing all Muslims of being terrorists. When I asked her who was doing that — name names, she ignored me.
She also put her gross hypocrisy on display with this tweet:
It is not inconsistent to believe in free speech AND be against insulting other people’s faith traditions. #CharlieHedbo
It took conservatives approximately two seconds to find examples of Kohn insulting other people’s “faith tradition” on Twitter here and here:
Those tweets are just a small sample of the irritatingly inane weasel-speak coming from Kohn in the past week.
Whoa, a surprise winner in a tough field, CNN’s radical progressive fruitcake Sally Kohn is living proof that having education doesn’t necessarily mean you’re smart or have even a modicum of that facility known as critical thinking. Would you believe that our winner this week had a JD from NYU (she apparently never took or failed to pass the bar) and a master’s degree in public administration from the famous Robert F. Wagner School of Public Service? Or that she held a program fellowship at the infamous Ford Foundation doling out an annual $15 million in grants to her fellow progs? It’s true!
So here are some more samples of all that brain power in action, easily located on the web:
Benefiting from white privilege is automatic. Defending white privilege is a choice.
It is not your personal fault that Michael Brown was shot and killed or that we have deep and structural racial bias in America. But that bias is nonetheless a reality, and so you do have a responsibility as to whether you are part of the problem or part of the solution. Just like you’re mistaken if you don’t think white is a race, you’re mistaken if you think you can remain neutral.

Conservatives, do u not attribute lack of black Oscar winners to implicit racial bias? And if not, then what?
(Since when do ‘conservatives make up the majority of Oscar voters???)
********************************************************
This one, you’ll have to hear to believe… Sally Kohn writes a rant-filled blog article accusing Michell Malkin of ‘incivility’ and the two of them face off on Sean Hannity’s show.
***************************************************************
via Twitter: After stepping down, Eric Holder has ruled out moving to Salem because he’s tired of witch hunts.
*********************************************************************
There’s lots more, But I think you get my drift.
What’s most interesting to me though is Sally Kohn’s absolute fetish for defending Islam and attacking ‘fundamentalist Christianity and Fundamentalist Judaism.’
Like her fellow CNN host Anderson Cooper, Sally Kohn is openly gay as well as being, at least in terms or her birth, a Jew. I wonder if she’s ever stopped to consider that while those ‘fundamentalist’ Christians and Jews she constantly attacks are no real threat to her whatsoever, a significant amount of the Muslims she constantly sucks up to and makes excuses for would slit her throat or stone her to death in a halal minute?
The same thing crossed my mind when I heard an interview Anderson Cooper did when he constantly asked a guest critical of Islam, “have you ever read the Holy Qu’ran?”
The Qu’ran certainly has nothing in it that calls for anything remotely holy for Anderson Cooper or Sally Quinn! Yet she persists. Y’know, even the lowest members of the animal kingdom have a survival reflex…
Ah, well. Come on up and get your Weasel, Ms. Kohn. Oh, by the way, you know, you beat out Barack Obama for this weeks’ Weasel. Aren’t you ashamed of benefiting from your white privilege like that? Aren’t you going to apologize, or are you just part of the problem? Well, we’re waiting… check your privilege, Sally Kohn!
Well, there it is.
Check back next Tuesday to see who next week’s nominees for Weasel of the Week are!
