Less amazing? The fact that Sally Kohn’s the one doing it. Today, she’s hung up on Ted Cruz:
Yeah. This. pic.twitter.com/rMYF8EA5YM
— Sally Kohn (@sallykohn) October 31, 2013
Yeah. That. Kohn may be patting herself on the back for finding that gem, but Townhall.com’s Katie Pavlich isn’t nearly as impressed:
Wow, really @sallykohn?
— Katie Pavlich (@KatiePavlich) October 31, 2013
@KatiePavlich you disagree, I take it?
— Sally Kohn (@sallykohn) October 31, 2013
You don't think calling Latino Ted Cruz a immigrant hating southern white supremacist is a bit much? @sallykohn
— Katie Pavlich (@KatiePavlich) October 31, 2013
@KatiePavlich obv I didn't make poster & it plays off hyperbole… but yeah, he's opposing imm reform & playing classic southern strat
— Sally Kohn (@sallykohn) October 31, 2013
So what if she didn’t make that poster? Somebody else made that poster happen and she endorsed it. Also, it’s just “hyperbole,” guys!
Pavlich continued:
He opposes illegal immigration, not legal immigrants, a far cry from "southern white supremacy" @sallykohn
— Katie Pavlich (@KatiePavlich) October 31, 2013
Um, comparing Cruz to "white supremacists" is far from "hyperbole," if I were a liberal, I'd call you a racist @sallykohn
— Katie Pavlich (@KatiePavlich) October 31, 2013
.@KatiePavlich sheesh, honestly, I'm not going to defend your literal interpretation of what is obviously meant to be parody
— Sally Kohn (@sallykohn) October 31, 2013
Was the Obama rodeo clown a parody? Yep, and he lost his job anyway. @sallykohn
— Katie Pavlich (@KatiePavlich) October 31, 2013
Remember, Sally?
It's cool, I'll stop now, but last time I checked slavery/white supremacy shouldn't be turned into a joke, cuz it's not one @sallykohn
— Katie Pavlich (@KatiePavlich) October 31, 2013
No it isn’t. Unless you’re a lefty, that is. In that case, it’s hilarious.
Progressives excuse "ethnicity shaming" conservatives by claiming "parody" when called out. Shameful.

Understandable. It’s pretty disgusting. Fortunately, these tweeters had some choice words for Ms. Kohn:

@RBPundit @sallykohn Gutter politics has hit a new low. Jesus.

Shorter @sallykohn: "I just told the racist joke, I didn't make it up." Wow. cc: @DLoesch

The deplorable @sallykohn called @SenTedCruz a white supremacist, and then says "just kidding" after her racism was thrown back in her face.

@sallykohn You liberals always scream about the right being intolerant, and then you show your true colors. #pathetic #hypocrite

America. The only country where @sallykohn can reinvent herself as an over-zealous 13-year-old Facebook progressive and still get on TV.
— Charles C. W. Cooke (@charlescwcooke) October 31, 2013
Nailed it.
Can't wait for the next time @SallyKohn lectures about civility.
— RBe (@RBPundit) October 31, 2013
Right? Neither can we.

Anyone up for a little backpedaling?
Oh boy, folks, I did not personally call Ted Cruz a “white supremacist” and know that’s a loaded and offensive term. Apologies.
— Sally Kohn (@sallykohn) October 31, 2013
I merely thought the broader observation of Cruz's personal transformation was pointed, and funny.
— Sally Kohn (@sallykohn) October 31, 2013
You thought wrong, cupcake.
I did not personally mean to trivialize, nor equate anything Cruz has done with explicit, vicious, pernicious white supremacy. That clear?
— Sally Kohn (@sallykohn) October 31, 2013
Here’s what’s clear: She’s just sorry she got caught.
