A left-wing journalist has quit his fellowship at New York University after graphically and profanely joking online about Lara Logan, the CBS News reporter brutally sexually assaulted Friday during coverage of celebrations in Cairo following Hosni Mubarak's resignation.

Nir Rosen, who has contributed to Time, Atlantic Monthly, the Washington Post, New York Times Magazine and Harper's, resigned from the university's Center on Law and Security after trashing Logan publicly on Twitter.

Logan, a "60 Minutes" correspondent, suffered a "brutal and sustained sexual assault by a mob of men while covering the Egyptian uprising," CBS News said. She was rescued by a group of women and about 20 Egyptian soldiers.

The first tweet by Rosen stated, "Lara Logan had to outdo Anderson. Where was her buddy McCrystal."

Rosen then continued by saying he's be amused if CNN's Anderson Cooper, was reportedly punched in the head several times during his own coverage of the recent turmoil in Egypt, had also been sexually assaulted.

"Yes yes its wrong what happened to her. Of course. I don't support that. But, it would have been funny if it happened to Anderson too," wrote Rosen.

Fellowship at a University?

One of N examples (where N is a very large number) of how low the standards are for hiring left wing “professors”.

I assume his degree was in advanced underwater basket weaving??

And I also assume that the operation of a light bulb was far, far beyond his limited ability to comprehend.

Um, well so what?
What is missing here is WHY he quit.

I wonder if this will have any kind of adverse impact on Mr. Rosen's career prospects. Probably not.

Then again, a lot of MSM on-line outlets have comment sections these days. Someone could leave an appropriate comment after any story he gets published, anywhere, just to remind the wider world exactly who this guy is.

Probably on the 1st flight to Egypt to find some Egyptian men who he hopes will do the same to him?

It is amazing how humorous tragedy is to left-wingers. He sounds like he may have blogged on moveon.org.

Could this be Oberman’s replacement? Got the PMSNBC qualifications of being a complete and utter moron.

Well... snicker... usually Cooper has to pay extra for that kind of thing, doesn't he?

Some more of their “fellows.”

But, it would have been funny if it happened to Anderson too,". Now that would have been something to see.

In the olden days (1995-2000, even as late as 2005) this pig would have gotten away with this.

No one would have reported it.

We are seeing liberal media whores imploding left and right lately.

“What is missing here is WHY he quit.”

My guess is he was given the option of resigning or being fired.

Post of the day.

SFGate is running a similar story, but most of the comments are that she deserved it for being a right-wing warmonger.

I wonder if Rosen will be listed among their "Alumni Fellows" after he cleans out his cubicle.

Of course, I'd give even odds that they take him back after the heat dies down.

Take note! This is a rarity! A leftie actually having to quit his job over hate.

So what about Debbie Schlussel’s celebration of the rape of Lara Logan?

The Muslim-loving Liberals will give a pass to these feral animals for raping a reporter (even a reporter from a Liberal network).

Of course, if those were white boys raping....Rosen would be going after all whiteys....you can bet on that.

Nowhere near as nasty as what Rosen said. The point she was trying to make is that the apologists for Islam now know what Islam is all about....and the threats Schlussel has received from Islamics and their apologists.

I think people are a little too whiney over Schlussel after she exposed Sean Hannity as “not a Great American” for his stiffing US Vets and their families with those Freedom Concerts.

It is disgusting what happened to Logan, and, its time for all....liberal/conservative, democrat/republican, etc....to stop covering up for Islam....Islam is not a Religion of Peace....it is pure evil

[Surrounded_too]

Over the edge.

This is what will happen to any of our mothers, wives, girlfriends, daughters and young sons at any time if Mohammedanism takes over or is even a moderately sized minority.

We can not coexist with these people. This political-religious slavery was founded by a corrupt rotten apple and the inbreeding of the clans over 1300 years makes the whole lot rotten. Any new captures improve their gene pool only for a limited amount of time.

Anyone not believing in our collective body of laws and the methods for changing those laws is a subversive and should be treated as such. Rather than charging them, give them the opportunity to leave peaceably for the Mohammedan territory of their choice and never come back.
