Cop Did a Nice Thing When Political Commentator Forgot Her Wallet. She Called Him Racist For It
IJ Review ^ | 5/8/15 | VICTORIA TAFT

Sally Kohn is a hard left pundit on MSNBC. She took to Twitter yesterday to give a shout-out to a D.C. MTA cop for saving her when she forgot her wallet and couldn’t pay for the subway. But she also couldn’t help but impute political and racial motives for the gesture:

Forgot my wallet. MTA officer let me on subway for free. #classprivilege #whiteprivilege

It was the hashtags on her post that got her taken to the Twitter woodshed. She assumed she’d received the favor because of her race and class.

Followers let her have it: -snip- Recently, Kohn gave a TED Talk in which she explained about imputing good motives to people: “(W)hat I’ve realized is political persuasion doesn’t begin with ideas or facts or data,” she said. “Political persuasion begins with being ‘emotionally correct.'”

Human arrogance, ingratitude and lack of manners is now called politically correct.

Don’t try etiquette. That’s racist.

She’s a pretty vile specimen of humanity. And racist to boot.

I didn’t know behaving decently is displaying “white privilege.”

You learn something new every day.

Liberals assume every one has in it for them so I’m not surprised at her behavior.

When you see the worst in humanity, you don’t expect people to be better than they are.

Since they’re the victims of circumstances and no one is responsible for themselves or held accountable to others.

When you stop to think about it, its not bizarre at all.

No good deed goes unpunished.

In this case, that’s true, indeed.

Just like a Liberal.

Emotions are what really count.

Effective action is second at best.

Logical, rational thought based on historical, measurable data rarely comes in to play.

The comments at the site are verbal punches to the solar plexus. Well worth reading.

How is ANYONE supposed to know what “class” she belongs to, on the subway no less? Does she think she radiates an aura of “summers in Newport, winters in Palm Beach” ? What arrogance!!!

If he didn’t let he on for free she would say he discriminates against women or LGBT.
