Not to mention vulgar, too!
If y'all would read the tweet all Stephen Robinson said is "The @nytimes published this and it’s not satire" and "This paragraph would shame North Korean state media".
He is what you call a "messenger". You see, the quotes are from the NY Times. Stephen Robinson does not write for the Times, he writes for Wonkette, a liberal political site, and he happens to be a liberal himself. What he is tweeting about is something he read in the NY Times, not something he wrote himself. Blaming Stephen Robinson for the NY Times atrocity would be akin to, say, maybe, blaming Iraq for 9/11.
Unless he is disliked so much for some other unspecified reason?
