It might not be too late to stop this hot take on 'South Park' giving birth to the Alt-Right

It’s not often that a writer gives you a heads-up before springing a scorching hot take on you, but Dan O’Sullivan, who’s been published in Rolling Stone, Salon, and The Daily Beast, thought he’d put out some feelers before churning out a piece on how the TV show “South Park” gave birth to the Alt-Right movement.

Has anyone written a piece on how South Park helped give birth to the alt right…..or is this my gazelle alone to tackle

Actually, yes, they have, but go on …

I have a theory that the anti-Semitism you see on the alt right emerged in part from the relentless "ironic" (?) Jew jokes on South Park all these guys heard when they were 12

alright I think I'm writing this

You should definitely write that piece. https://t.co/P0VdPnb6FR

Salon and The Daily Beast are probably in a bidding war for the publishing rights already.

"yes I will be the one to take down South Park" said the writer as he put his face into a blender without realizing it.

This isn't it, chief. You're making a pretty big stretch here. https://t.co/tU1sIYE9eV

We won’t know until we read the piece, will we?

Are you kidding?

South Park HIGHLIGHTS & EXPOSES outrageous irony and RIDICULES the very nonsense you are accusing them of promoting.

It's ok that you don't get it… but, it likely is your gazelle to tackle. I doubt you're alone tho… https://t.co/gNNhLrxpyo

As usual, the brave journo only feels safe to espouse an edgy opinion with the backing of his pack. https://t.co/ZYh4CEQu4M

Exit question: Which writer at Vox is going to swipe this take and have a post up tonight?
