89. It was a tweet about large black men lurking outside the cell.

A reference to scary black rapists. The OP deleted it but John Schindler did not. You can read it on his feed if you'd like--it's just a few tweets below the one still in the OP--but I'm not going to link to a racist rape joke.

On twitter, everyone is piling on John Schindler about the racism, and justifiably so. But not too many are saying anything about his use of rape imagery.

Rape is rape, regardless of whether it happens in a prison and regardless of whether it happens to someone you dislike. And if people are gleefully imagining the rape of Sean Hannity, we still have a problem with rape culture.
