Liberal writer tweets hoping wounded lawmaker dies, says 'respect for human life' doesn't apply to GOP by at 1:34 PM A left-wing writer is making no apologies after suggesting on Twitter that the Wednesday morning shooting of a Republican congressman and staffers may have been tantamount to an act of “self-defense.”
Malcolm Harris, who has a book contract with Little, Brown of New York, made tasteless tweets Wednesday morning following the shooting of at least four people in Alexandria, Virginia, including Rep. Steve Scalise (R-La.).
Harris suggested the shooting of conservative Republicans could be justified.
"If the shooter has a serious health condition then is taking potshots at the GOP house leadership considered self defense?" Harris tweeted.
Harris' biography suggested at one point he writes for the liberal news site Vox. He doesn't.
But he does have a book contract with Little, Brown of New York. The book is titled, "Kids These Days: Human Capital and the Making of Millennial." Little, Brown did not immediately return a message from LifeZette.
His author biography on Amazon lists him as a "freelance writer and an editor at The New Inquiry." His book is scheduled to hit shelves in November.
His work has also appeared in the Village Voice and The New York Times Magazine. Harris has contributed to The Washington Post and the New Republic as well. He lives in Philadelphia.
But even Harris has some sense of shame. His most incendiary tweet was deleted.
About Scalise, a Louisiana Republican, Harris tweeted, "Hearing 'David Duke without the baggage' Steve Scalise is stable, but a lot of Americans dies from hospital errors so keep crossing your fing [sic]."
Dan Gainor, vice president of Business and Culture at the Media Research Center, told LifeZette that Twitter often brings out the worst in people.
"I think people need to be more responsible for the things they say," said Gainor. "Twitter encourages people to walk right up to the edge of the cliff."
Harris did not immediately return an emailed message from LifeZette.
In a Friday op-ed for The Post, Harris lauded the alleged leaking committed by NSA contractor Reality Winner, 25, of Georgia.
Winner was arrested for leaking secrets of her employer, the National Security Agency.
"We hardly invented leaking, but millennials are especially well-suited to the tactic," Harris wrote. "It's a squirt gun we can use on our leaders when they've stepped out of line. I don't imagine that employers — public or private — are going to start inspiring loyalty or stop abusing power anytime soon, so expect the leaks to keep flowing. At least until millennials find a bigger weapon."
Perhaps they want preemptive strikes to start with the fascists antifas,self defense goes both ways
Yup, full retirement age.
We will find out that he was retired and under Social Security. That is IF he paid taxes. If you dont pay taxes under your employment-and he was self employed, you cant collect for those years.
Some of us 11Bs keep the same folders.
I’d have to use the bayonet and save the round.
Democrats Lives Matter
Triggered?
Great links, thanks for posting.
Based on this article, the shooting of every liberal could be justified as a pro-choice late term abortion.
Doesn’t he?
Classic!
My pleasure!
So Jim you won’t mind if a few antifa mf’ers get popped in “self defense”?
The mask if off the Terrorist Left. They honored another terrorist a few days ago in the NYC Puerto Rican Pride parade. Obama was buddies with a leftist terrorist and nobody cared. Why should we be surprised. The next Democrat president will probably pardon this guy and he’ll get a job as a professor in an Ivy League university.
Your are correct. But, the pressure needs to come down on Bezo's head for allowing this crap to be put out on Amazon as well as allowing this pos to contribute to his newspaper.
Close, but no.
Occupy was his scene.

.... We are probably seeing the rise of a Martyr and a hero .... who will go on to inspire more to take up the cause of this revolution in much the same way as the Cop Killer movement started. Hatred releases the Barbarians within us .... only held back only by the gates of civility and sanity guarding our minds.
He was just a leftist nutcase who thought he could influence American government by harming our elected representatives...In other words, he was a TERRORIST!!!!
It’s not crap, it’s hate, and the Left isn’t going to stop.
If there was any doubt on anyone’s part that we are on a direct expressway to CW II, then this headline alone should remove all doubt.
Given him time. He’ll be out there. Just wait for it......
But white hipster dudes like Malcolm are too scared to get too close to that scene. College kids and party activists might, but hipster-doofus bloggers don't.
Oh he’ll snap a few selfies when he’s out and down for the cause.
They like to inspire other radicals.
