RUSH: You want another example of this? This has got people so worked up today. I was going to get to it later, but I\u2019m going to slither this in there right now. The New York Times has hired a new editorial page writer. Her name is Sarah Jeong. J-e-o-n-g. She\u2019s got tweets all over the Twittersphere that chronicle her literal hatred for “white people.” She has relished, she has loved professing her hate for white people, and she gets hired by the New York Times<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"She\u2019s either an editorial page editor or she is a… Well, probably a writer so that\u2019s the same thing. So she\u2019ll write editorials. She will contribute to editorials. “The New York Times\u2019 communications department announced on Wednesday that Jeong will be joining the editorial board as part of a ‘fab group of recent additions\u2019 to the paper\u2019s opinions section in September. In scores of tweets, Jeong … denigrates whites and compares them to dogs. The reporter likened ‘dumbass f[–]ing white people\u2019 sharing their opinions to ‘dogs p[ee]ing on fire hydrants,'” only she didn\u2019t say “peeing.”<\/p>\n

“In another [Twitter thread], Jeong riffed on white people being ‘only fit to live underground like groveling goblins,\u2019 which snowballed into a witty rumination on whites smelling like dogs. Jeong wrote in July 2014: ‘oh man it\u2019s kind of sick how much I get out of being cruel to old white men.'” She relishes being cruel to white people and she\u2019s admitting she gets so much out of it. “‘#CancelWhitePeople,\u2019 she declared in November 2014, midway through a thread mocking fans of NPR\u2019s ‘Serial\u2019 podcast.”<\/p>\n

Did any of you listen to Serial in there? (interruption) Do you know what it is? (interruption) Okay, NPR, PBS, whatever, did a podcast, soap opera, short story, a novel that was performance art. It was read. It was acted by people in the podcast, and it became the in, cool thing for good liberals to admit that they read, loved and did. But it was white liberals. I didn\u2019t do it. I don\u2019t know the story. Some of you are going to get mad at me who did like it and think I\u2019m putting it down. I\u2019m not. It was amazing to me how a group of people turned into a bunch of sheep.<\/p>\n

“Have you heard of Serial?”<\/p>\n

“No.”<\/p>\n

“You\u2019ve got to hear of Serial!”<\/p>\n

Bam, and it was… I don\u2019t know how many weeks it took for the thing to roll out. But, at the time it was out, it was the cause celebre; it was the fashionable in thing to do. Like at one time, adopting a baby from Africa that was the thing, listening to Serial was the next fashion accessory you had to have.<\/p>\n

So this newly hired New York Times editorial page editor: “‘#CancelWhitePeople,\u2019 she declared in November 2014, midway through a thread mocking fans of NPR\u2019s ‘Serial\u2019 podcast.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

“‘That must be really hard for you, having feelings about race,\u2019 she taunted. … The Times and Jeong posted statements Thursday at noon expressing ‘regret\u2019 over her history of biting ‘satire\u2019 \u2014 but the paper declared she had passed its ‘thorough vetting process.'” I\u2019m sure she did. Just like Zephyr Rain Teachout<\/a> would pass a “thorough vetting process” on intelligent policy dealing with illegal immigration.<\/p>\n

(summarized exchange)<\/p>\n

Yeah, you know what you do? Get rid of the border and let them all in!<\/p>\n

That\u2019s the girl we want. You\u2019re hired! You\u2019re going to be our next attorney general.<\/p>\n

“Jeong escaped the fate of previous Times hires who were swiftly fired over old, controversial tweets.” You know where she comes from? She comes from a tech blog, folks. I know who this babe is. The tech blog she writes for is called The Verge. It is a technology news outlet owned by Vox. I don\u2019t know if it started out as a subsidiary of Vox, but Vox consumed it, subsumed it. It\u2019s part of the left-wing online Millennial-media complex. She\u2019s 30.<\/p>\n

“She also authored the book, The Internet of Garbage, which examines the many forms of online harassment, free speech, and the challenges of moderating platforms and social media networks.” In other words, she\u2019s in charge of curtailing free speech, or she was while at The Verge. “Born in South Korea, Sarah grew up in North Carolina and California. … As a student at [Dadalut! Dadalut! Dadalut! Dadalut!] Harvard Law School, she edited the Journal of Law & Gender…”<\/p>\n

Her work has appeared in “The Atlantic, Vice\u2019s Motherboard, The Washington Post, and The New York Times Magazine,” and the woman is a racist pig — openly tweeting of her hatred, deserved hatred for white people. And the New York Times says, “Yes, we thoroughly vetted this woman! Not a problem could we find. You just don\u2019t understand ‘biting satire.'” You certainly don\u2019t understand when I do it! When I do biting satire, it certainly isn\u2019t overlooked and looked at as an art form.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>It\u2019s just plain old conservative hatred and bigotry according to the New York Times. But this woman? Why, we don\u2019t have the sophistication and the education to understand her biting satire. Like we\u2019re not smart enough to understand what Kathy Griffin really means. So that\u2019s the New York Times\u2019s new hire. Of course, Twitter goes nuts on this kind of stuff. She\u2019s got her supporters. She\u2019s got her detractors out there. But just the fact that… Let… Let… Blah, blah, blah, Breitbart.<\/a> Let\u2019s see.<\/p>\n

Breitbart is looking for somebody to join their editorial efforts and they hire somebody that\u2019s got a Twitter history of “satire” on minorities. Do you think Breitbart would be allowed to go through with the hire or would they be shamed and boycotted and blasted to smithereens over it until they got rid of the new hire? But we\u2019re supposed to ignore, look the other way — and maybe not even look the other way! We\u2019re supposed to understand how lucky we are to have somebody this intelligent and this aware and this in touch.<\/p>\n

Again: “In scores of tweets, Jeong … denigrates whites and compares them to dogs. The reporter likened ‘dumbass f[–]ing white people\u2019 sharing their opinions to ‘dogs p[ee]ing on fire hydrants.'” You certainly see the satire there, right? “In another [Twitter thread], Jeong riffed on white people being ‘only fit to live underground like groveling goblins,\u2019 which snowballed into a witty rumination on whites smelling like dogs.”<\/p>\n

Satire again! I\u2019m sure you get it. “Jeong wrote in July 2014: ‘oh man it\u2019s kind of sick how much I get out of being cruel to old white men.\u2019 ‘#CancelWhitePeople,\u2019 she declared in November 2014, midway through a thread mocking fans of NPR\u2019s ‘Serial\u2019 podcast.” Now, that! I\u2019m surprised the New York Times is able to overlook that, because the New York Times is exactly the kind of profile that loves Serial.<\/p>\n

I can\u2019t tell you the number of people who\u2019ve asked, “Have you listened to Serial?”<\/p>\n

“No, what is it?”<\/p>\n

[Description of Serial.]<\/p>\n

\"\"“Not interested.”<\/p>\n

“Why?”<\/p>\n

“Because if liberals love it, I can guarantee you I won\u2019t.”<\/p>\n

“Are you really that close minded?”<\/p>\n

“No, I\u2019m not that close minded. I\u2019m that intelligent! I\u2019m that aware, and I\u2019m that honest enough to tell you.”<\/p>\n

“That\u2019s so shortsighted! just because a bunch of liberals like it you know you won\u2019t?”<\/p>\n

“Yes. I can pretty much guarantee you.”<\/p>\n

Listen, I have another added benefit I\u2019m deaf and I can\u2019t hear it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
