I hate the practice of saying, “Mean things were said on Twitter,” since the very social media platform seems designed to bring out the whackados. However, the number of prominent liberal journalists tweeting out despicable statements about the death of a Supreme Court justice is worth noting.
Here are a few (Newsbusters has six more). As Instapundit wrote, “By their tweets you shall know them.”
1. Dan Savage:

2. Dave Zurin, of The Nation and frequent MSNBC guest:
When political figures die, there’s a race to define their memory. That memory can have powerful repercussions. So remember Scalia’s victims — Dave Zirin (@EdgeofSports) February 13, 2016
3. Tomás Ríos, Vocativ’s Senior Sports Editor:
Scalia was a monster and no one’s job entitles them to respect. https://t.co/q4v0Kk1ZFJ

4. Amanda Marcotte, of Salon:
I guess it’s settled: God approves of abortion. — Amanda Marcotte (@AmandaMarcotte) February 13, 2016
5. David Ehrlich, of Rolling Stone:
when you go to harass women outside of planned parenthood tomorrow, be sure to hold your fetus poster at half-mast. out of respect. #Scalia
