A 24yo puke is the "Senior Writer"?!?
Hahaha. Isn't this the same rag that was sold a few years back for a buck? A dollar?
I used to get snoozeweek, now I see whoever it was overpaid for this rag. I'd toss them a plug nickel, that $1.00 they dropped was clearly too much.

I wonder which flag is flying over Newsweek's offices this week ? ISIS, Old Soviet Union, N.Korea, Iran, Cuba, Palestinian ?

Yep. Typical liberal p.o.s. journalist.
Quote:Newsweek has issued an apology after senior writer Alexander Nazaryan compared Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz and his supporters to Nazis.
“I would like to express on behalf of Newsweek our disappointment that this occurred and reiterate that this does not align with our editorial values,” Newsweek’s editor-in-chief, Jim Impoco, told the Washington Examiner in a statement.
“I apologize for any doubt that this might have cast on Newsweek’s editorial integrity or credibility. We’ve addressed the situation with Alexander and the rest of the staff and will be reviewing and reiterating our social media policy in coming days.”
Mr. Nazaryan tweeted, then promptly deleted, an image Wednesday morning depicting Nazi soldiers, writing, “Ted Cruz has a strong ground game in Iowa.”
Facing a wave of social media backlash from conservatives, Mr. Nazaryan later tweeted, “I deleted my tweet calling Ted Cruz a Nazi. Not fair to his totally decent supporters, as much as I dislike the man himself.”
Mr. Nazaryan publicly expressed his disdain for the Texas senator just a day earlier, calling him “an atrocity of a human being.”
Faced with calls for him to resign or be fired, Mr. Nazaryan wrote: “Because part of my job is having opinions. One opinion I have is that Ted Cruz would be a very bad president.”
According to Mr. Nazaryan’s staff page at Newsweek, he was previously on the editorial board of the New York Daily News.

It's understandable given Cruz' unabashed support for Israel.
And just shows how uninformed Nazaryan, a "Senior" Writer at Newsweek, is when it comes to substantive issues in the campaign.

His tweets should only show up 5-years from now and only for old ladies in hospital waiting rooms....just like his magazine.

Here is something that Red will obviously laugh his ass off at.
Just so Red can really have another good laugh. He will enjoy this also...

RE: Senior Newsweek Writer Compares Ted Cruz Supporters To Nazis…
This is what happens in the liberal vacuum. This guy had no idea that comparing conservative Americans to Nazis would be seen poorly, because in this guys entire educational, social and professional networks these types of comparison are made all the time, and agreed with!
This jamoke was doing nothing but signaling the strength of his commitment to being a liberal. He was happily demonstrating to his fellow liberals that he was prepared to risk negative feedback for the sake of increasing his status within the liberalism. As a result, he is now martyred and will reap the rewards within in educational, social and professional networks.
Fvck I hate signalling. I hate it because it screams weakness.

Ny Daily News is the paper that blamed the San Bernardino attacks on prayer. No surprise that this guy came from there.

We all should care. It is representative of the liberal media and their hatred for those that don't share their leftist ideology. To ignore it just further enables them. It demonstrates their belief that they can spread their hatred and feel correct in doing so because leftists can do no wrong.

It was kind of like the humorous NYT article where the writer talked to his "experts" about the Trump phenomena. Every single one of them was an extreme liberal, mostly academics, none of whom had any clue about Republicans. Its really interesting how all the liberal writers bash the Republicans. You would think they would write about something they have knowledge of. They could write about issues they believe in, but they just give red meat to the mindless liberal masses.

What?!?!
Since when has comparing people to Hitler or the Nazis been a leftist thing? I agree it's dumb and indicative of low intelligence but if you're standing up here painting this as a liberal thing then it'd seem you're suffering from the same disease.
