"I don't have an explanation. I was a jerk," said Rosen, an NYU fellow, who has since resigned from the university's Center on Law and Security. He said he was tweeting at 2 a.m. "I was being thoughtless, forgetting that I wasn't just talking to a couple of people."

You won't save your derriere that easily, pal.

Your self hatred and sympathy for Muslim mobs got you what you deserved this time.

In other words, you are a POS all the time when you are with your anti-American Brohimes. You just got exposed by your own stupidity. Maybe Code Pink needs an extra crazy at the next "Screw Israel" rally you self hating Jew.

That he is a jerk is a given. He was just being a democrat.

Throw him into a really nasty prison for a week to “report” on gang rape so he can get some perspective.

As soon as things calm down he'll land comfortably somewhere.

The moonbats in academia have no big problem with what he said & they'll take care of their own.

Hey, what’s the big deal Mohammed instructed all Muslims to rape and enslave the kafirs. Rosen is just being a good Muslim.

"forgetting that I wasn't just talking to a couple of people."

Translation: 'I really meant it when I said it; but I was hoping to keep the audience down to just a few of my homies.'

Ain't that the truth. After we got convictions on some loonies, they put it on their résumés and were immediately hired by left-wing activist groups (closely tied to academia, of course).

He should be shunned by society and spend his final days living under a bridge muttering about the days when he was someone important.

Now he’s an unemployed jerk. That’s a very, very good thing.

Neither one of these a-holes says a single word about the role of ISLAM and sexual assault, sexual repression and sexual slavery in the Middle East.

His comments were disgusting and exposed just what he is. Then he lied. He actually said he did not know she was assaulted and that he did not know what the article said to which he provided a link.

The crazy part is that a couple of women journalists (one of them Banfield somebody) tried to make excuses for him and only made themselves look stupid.

I read several things by and about him, and I would conclude that he is an extreme left-wing jerk. He is a self-hating Jew who would love to watch the Muslims eradicate Israel.

Some indication of how far to the left he is, is that he joked that he’d like to see Anderson Cooper raped, too. Because he apparently considers Cooper to be a right-wing war monger.

That suggests just how far to the left he is.

No no no that won't cut it at all. I say give him a taste of it. Throw him in with some harden criminals and let them have at it for half hour.

God bless Lara, my heart goes out to her. I can't imagine what it must have been like the horror. This is going to take her many years to heal. If not for those brave Egyptian women and the military this woman would be dead.
