Why Does Ezra Klein Hate Gays?
Posted on | March 14, 2014 | 91 Comments
It’s a silly question, but his fellow liberals are trying to tell Klein he can’t hire who he wants at Vox.com:
Hipster Homophobia: Ezra Klein’s Vox
hires Falwell-loving gay-bashing “gay”
— John Aravosis
Ezra Klein’s Queer New Hire
— American Prospect
Vox’s Unbelievably Terrible New Hire
— Slate
Since when did having the “correct” opinion about homosexuality become a necessary qualification for a reporter?

“Since when did having the “correct” opinion about homosexuality become a necessary qualification for a reporter?”
Since it was decided gays were an oppressed minority group whose civil rights were being violated.
Otherwise known as when Democrats decided they were a potentially decisive voting bloc.
March 14th, 2014 @ 2:41 pm
There’s really not enough of them to matter in elections. But they’re a useful tool to beat Republicans over the head with.

This is an example of what readers can expect from Vox’ “in-depth coverage.”
Klein couldn’t be bothered to vet his new hire by reading his work (which sometimes helps in hiring WRITERS, Ezra), or even by plugging his name into Bing or Google. Totally blindsided by who the guy he just trumpeted as his brilliant new hire really is, or how he is regarded by fellow-traveling leftists.
But you can SURELY trust Vox for “in-depth coverage” of the news and “explaining” all the nuances so even dummies like you can understand it!
March 14th, 2014 @ 3:43 pm
Liberals can’t help it. It’s all about feelings with them.
March 14th, 2014 @ 3:46 pm
First the down dingers were scared that their pic might show up as being a H8r. So they took those away.
But I think it’s more of a way to limit stupid up/down vote wars. The trolls, being stupid, like to pile on, after all.
Not being able to see a total on the down votes keeps them from finding such piles.
Personally, I prefer the much-closer-to-reality aspect of the “like” system. Just as you’d not buy something at a store because you don’t like or want it, you also don’t “like” comments for the same reason.
But there’s no way to go into a store and “inverse buy” things you don’t like. That’s what a down-ding is: An artificial gauge of value.
March 14th, 2014 @ 3:48 pm
But strangely, also queer.

March 14th, 2014 @ 4:28 pm
Throughout history, the (destructive) influence of homosexuality in society has been artificially magnified by the homosexuals’ inexplicably significant prominence in the arts and literature…
March 14th, 2014 @ 4:35 pm
I’d read he knew full well what he was doing and he’s defending it in the name of “ideological diversity”!
March 14th, 2014 @ 4:36 pm
They have enough clout to swing elections, maybe not with numbers, but more with money and influence. There’s probably not a whole lot of them in the military either, but look what they’ve managed to accomplish there. And you can pretty much imagine what that’s going to lead to on down the road.

Ideological Diversity = Hate of views other than your own if you have progressive liberal mindset and are talking about conservatives.
To the rest of the world it simply means an open mind and a willingness to at least listen to views opposed to your own.
March 15th, 2014 @ 10:58 am
I believe that our host “owns up” to his distaste for certain things and certain individuals here every day.
What’s your point?
March 15th, 2014 @ 11:20 am
Liberals even go so far as to hate other self acknowledged liberals whom they judge not to be liberal enough- Mr. Klein for example.
If you don’t toe the line you’re a traitor. You either assimilate or its off to the galleys with you.
March 15th, 2014 @ 11:28 am
NO, no! That’s just in case the feminist NKVD comes checking to see if I possess the correct attitude. Wouldn’t want to meet the feminist version of Comrade Blotkhin in the basement of the Lubyanka. You must establish your bonifides so the info gets into the NSA’s database before they come checking.
