Liberal tolerance: BuzzFeed reporter hurls anti-gay remark at Grenell
http://twitter.com/#!/mmhastings/status/223415140723335168
A liberal tolerance bully is at it again; spewing intolerance and anti-gay bigotry. This time, it’s an alleged unbiased reporter for BuzzFeed hurling gay-bashing remarks at former Mitt Romney adviser Richard Grenell.
From the guy covering Obama for BuzzFeed >@mmhastings ric, your tweets reveal insecurities about your masculinity. That a neocon thing?
— Richard Grenell (@RichardGrenell) July 12, 2012
And covering for Obama, of course. We wonder what DNC communications director Brad Woodhouse would say about Mr. Hastings’ shameful gay-bashing? Remember, Mr. Woodhouse had a panic-mode meltdown over Richard Grenell’s resignation. Back then, the DNC got their talking points from Cher and used Mr. Grenell to demonize Mitt Romney. Par for the course; they only care about gay people inasmuch as they can use them for their own ends.
Twitter users who have moral compasses swiftly called out Mr. Hastings for his disgusting remark.

@RichardGrenell @mmhastings What kind of a question was that? This guy is a low life!

@buzzfeedben Anything to say about @mmhastings homophobic comments to @RichardGrenell ?
— EPCOT Fitzgerald (@mttbry) July 12, 2012
And Mr. Grenell himself said it best:
Liberal tolerance. Where are the gay police now? @tricityjdw: @mmhastings @RichardGrenell Being an antigay bigot–it that a left-wing thing?
— Richard Grenell (@RichardGrenell) July 12, 2012
Sadly, Richard Grenell is used to such hate from the Left. When he broke his silence after resigning from the Romney campaign, he said that the most hateful remarks came from the Left.
And that is still the case. This time, from a “real journalist” at BuzzFeed. Of course, that isn’t too surprising since the media and the Left are concentric circles on a Venn diagram.
Where are the liberal gay police? Likely too busy also trying to punitively shame gay Americans who have the audacity to stray from the lefty plantation. You know, like another journalist at The Village Voice did recently. Toe the line, gays, and know your place! Otherwise, face hate and attempted marginalization as punishment.
Got H8? The Left, including the media, do.

Update: BuzzFeed’s Editor-in-chief has no problem with the contemptible remark made by Mr. Hastings.
@collegepolitico @mmhastings should have been on the troll chart!
— Ben Smith (@BuzzFeedBen) July 12, 2012
@collegepolitico I didn't read attack in there, but I do agree he is also in this case being a bit of a troll!
— Ben Smith (@BuzzFeedBen) July 12, 2012
@collegepolitico I don't think you should be fired though!
— Ben Smith (@BuzzFeedBen) July 12, 2012
Oh, yes. Because gay-bashing is just so hilarious. What’s a little “trolling?”

Huh. What say you, Ben Smith?
Update: This is what he grossly says.
@TwitchyTeam I haven't seen an anti-gay comment, and some of Michael's best friends are neocons.
— Ben Smith (@BuzzFeedBen) July 12, 2012
Oh, well. He doesn’t see that as an anti-gay remark, even though the gay man at whom it was aimed (and everyone else with a moral compass) did. Plus, the old “some of his best friends” line.
Case. Closed.
Twitter users give him the business, and rightly so.

@snarkandboobs Okay, so you are allowed to be intolerant as long as you have friends in a certain group? Good to know! @MMhastings
— Teri Christoph (@TeriChristoph) July 12, 2012
@snarkandboobs Because when liberals are racist or sexist, its always in an ironical way and therefore hip. Power to the correct people.

Update:
@TwitchyTeam I did, though, used to like when conservatives were the enemies of PC and fake outrage, rather than aping those liberal vices.
— Ben Smith (@BuzzFeedBen) July 12, 2012
@TwitchyTeam Feigning outrage to mirror what you see as libs' feigned outrage is, yes, pretty grim. I do think this is an interesting convo
— Ben Smith (@BuzzFeedBen) July 12, 2012
@TwitchyTeam Is this BS or hypocrisy? Now I'm confused. I'd thought it was outrage.
— Ben Smith (@BuzzFeedBen) July 12, 2012
Oh, really? Come. On. Try holding yourselves to the tolerance bully standards to which you hypocritically hold others. Also, try not being, you know, anti-gay bigots.
Twitterer Ezra Dulis hits the nail on the head:
Btwn the troll chart & now getting pissy w/ @TwitchyTeam, it's rather obvious @BuzzFeedBen hates that news is no longer a 1-way conversation
— E-Du (@ezradulis) July 12, 2012
Absolutely.
Update:
@buzzfeedben You know I like you a lot Ben, but the comments from your reporter saying a gay guy has masculinity issues were homophobic
— Chris Barron (@ChrisRBarron) July 12, 2012
And Richard Grenell responded further via a statement to Breitbart.com.
