Lara Logan dumped upon by Nir Rosen and Debbie Schlussel. Ultra-left and extra-right meet again.

Lara Logan is a CBS News chief foreign correspondent, recently beaten and sexually assaulted by a mob at Tahrir Square in Cairo. Whatever her politics and personal idiosyncrasies, she deserves sympathy and support and at least to be left alone to recuperate after the assault.

Apparently the more rabid elements on both sides of political spectrum are not concerned with such basic tenets of human moral code. Here comes one Nir Rosen, a prominent left-winger, and joins the Al Tahrir celebrations:

Jesus Christ, at a moment when she is going to become a martyr and glorified we should at least remember her role as a major war monger.
And (in lieu of apology):
ah fuck it, I apologize for being insensitive, it’s always wrong, that’s obvious, but I’m rolling my eyes at all the attention she will get.
And, from the other side of the US politics, Debbie Schlussel adds her voice:.
Lara Logan was among the chief cheerleaders of this “revolution” by animals. Now she knows what Islamic revolution is really all about.
And:
How fitting that Lara Logan was “liberated” by Muslims in Liberation Square while she was gushing over the other part of the “liberation.” Hope you’re enjoying the revolution, Lara! Alhamdilllullah [praise allah].
First it was the cheap and dirty point-scoring after the Loughner shooting, now both sides are making dirt blush after a woman is beaten and sexually assaulted, only to make a point...

What next?
