MSNBC’s Chris Hayes Reveals He Felt ‘Tiny Slight Pin-Prick Of Empathy’ For Ariel Castro
Mediaite ^ | August 1, 2013 | Tommy Christopher

Cleveland kidnapper-rapist-murderer Ariel Castro has been taking a renewed round of well-deserved scorn on the occasion of his sentencing for the crimes he committed against Amanda Berry, Gina Dejesus, and Michelle Knight, and Thursday night’s All In with Chris Hayes was no exception. Host Chris Hayes and his guests Goldie Taylor and Cindy Southworth excoriated Castro for his nauseating comments at the hearing, but Hayes did admit to “one moment when there was a tiny, slight pin prick of empathy in me.”

Castro’s statement at his sentencing was a retch-inducing delusion that included claims of consensual sex with his captives, and pleas for understanding of his “addiction,” but there was one moment that affected Hayes, who is known to be honest about his feelings even when they might be super-unpopular or easy to demagogue.

“I want to play the one moment when there was a tiny, slight pin prick of empathy in me” Hayes said, “as I watched this awful statement, was him talking about himself, saying that he had been a victim of sexual abuse, himself.”

That is just what Castro intended with his disgusting monologue. It should have been kept off the air.

That’s the problem with liberal men. They are metrosexual pansies without the ability to judge evil when they see it.

Liberals wake up with the following thought on their minds “Will I appear to be open-minded today?” And at night, their last thought before falling asleep is “Did I appear to be open-minded today?”

This is the same d bag who slandered fallen heroes on Memorial Day live on his assigned propaganda slot on Memorial Day last year. His non apology was the perfect example of an arrogant liberal.

Libtards always look for excuses like being abused as a child so that they can use their feelings of pity to justify the application of mercy and restorative justice rather than retributive justice.

Am I surprised that he felt “empathy” for Castro - no. This is because doing what Castro did is Hayes’ wet dream.
