A senior editor of the left-wing website The Raw Story is facing blowback from conservative Twitter after he said House Majority Whip Steve Scalise deserved a “Darwin Award” for continuing to oppose gun control policies despite almost dying from a mass shooting last summer.
Martin Cizmar, a former Daily News-Record reporter who now covers politics for The Raw Story, started his rant against Mr. Scalise after the Republican congressman denounced the “vicious threats” sent to senators and their families after confirming Justice Brett M. Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court on Saturday.

After facing backlash for the tweet, Mr. Cizmar suggested that Mr. Scalise — an avid Second Amendment proponent who almost died last June when he was gunned down by a leftist gunman at a GOP congressional baseball practice — didn’t deserve any sympathy because he supported the gun policies that contributed to his injuries.
To all the unhinged wingnuts angry about my calling a whiny Republic man a little baby… do you support gun control? If so, please keep talking. If not, why do I care about some guy grazed by a bullet who allows children to die because of his dumb and extremist policies? — 🎩Martin Cizmar (@martincizmar) October 8, 2018
Mr. Cizmar then declared that Mr. Scalise deserved to be nominated for a “Darwin Award,” a satirical award for people who contribute to human evolution by killing themselves off in an embarrassing or ironic way.

“Conviction by Accusation” is just one step short of “Conviction by Execution” -the privilege of all the uber tyrants of the 20th century.
The financiers of the liberal left fools in the USA know exactly what it is they’re gunning for.
And they’re only one SC Justice and 2 Senators shy of it
I’m sure I would turn against the 1st Amendment if a printing press fell on me.
I remember as a kid going to the local newspaper and looking at their Linotype machine. The owner's son was one of my classmates.
Later in life I worked for a wholesale hardware distribution company who printed their own catalog on an offset press. Very good type quality, but impression cost was high. They used an optical typeset machine. (I was in Sales and sales support then.)
That same company later put in a huge web press. That did not last long.
Late in my career I ran a catalog/advertising department for that company. We sent it all out to be printed. Did scripted publishing from the AS400 to PC’s through Quark to print and mirrored the content for the web. (the actual process was a pure hack, not an integrated path. But we made it work. I did that for 5-1/2 years.)
Long story to say presses were huge and heavy, now it is electronic composition.
First Amendment mentions freedom of the press.
Amendment I
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

So, technically electronic media is not mentioned. It is understood that the First Amendment includes Radio, TV and the web. But there are Federal regulations applied to those potentially monopolistic industries, largely by the licensing of the RF spectrum. Now with the web it is more complicated.
Most accurate. As in the one nobody will ever say bad about, Turkey. The nation from whose actions caused the word genocide to be created. And which they today still deny that they did it or that it happened. But the Jews, Greeks, Assyrians, Alevi, Ezidi and Kurds will all attest to their actions. It is remarkable that the EU coddles them and that we have done so for many years in spite of fully understanding what they do.
Totalitarianism in all forms is Evil. Genocide is the Metz Yeghérn, the Great Evil.
The financiers of the liberal left fools in the USA know exactly what it is they’re gunning for.
Yes, they know fully what their plan is. Global Totalitarianism and genocide. Ultimate Evil.
It will be interesting to see what part of the Libs actually roll.
Yes, most foul.
No one honestly said Libs were smart. Just cruel and evil.
Yes, largely true. And almost all have those hollow looking sick eyes. As if their soul was absent their body.
May it be so. Prayers up.
The Idiot who made the remarks is not smart. He is a ComDem tool. Not a very sharp one.
Agreed...
