David Sirota, that left wing netroot ghoul who unfortunately chooses to live in this great state of ours, has outdone himself this time. Constantly searching for attention, and currently for a paying gig after being unceremoniously fired from 630KHOW, Sirota excels at playing the biggest douchebag on the block.
Yesterday, Sirota penned a column for Salon.com entitled “Let’s hope the Boston Marathon bomber is a white American.” No, really, he actually wrote that.
You see, it’s all about white male privilege, according to Sirota:
This has been most obvious in the context of recent mass shootings. In those awful episodes, a religious or ethnic minority group lacking such privilege would likely be collectively slandered and/or targeted with surveillance or profiling (or worse) if some of its individuals comprised most of the mass shooters. However, white male privilege means white men are not collectively denigrated/targeted for those shootings — even though most come at the hands of white dudes.
It’s funny for us to see Sirota opining on race, seeing that he had no problem with a friend of his threatening to lynch a reporter from Ed News Colorado after his wife’s union-backed slate of Denver school board candidates got crushed in the election.
At a subdued gathering for Sirota at a Beau Jo’s Pizza, efforts to get comment from the candidate were blocked by her husband.
“Do not go near her,” cautioned David Sirota, as she stood nearby sipping a glass of wine. “You do not work for a real news organization.”
Another Sirota supporter, Cherry Creek News and North Denver News publisher Guerin Green, followed this reporter out of the restaurant, saying, “It’s a good thing this isn’t 100 years ago. You’d be hanging from a tree.”
The internet responded to Sirota’s screed with more mockery than condemnation, taunting him for what has been dubbed “the douchiest avatar on Twitter” with the hashtag #Siroting.
David Sirota is Alex Jones’ pen name, right?

Sirota was butthurt over the mockery and decided to change his avatar this morning in response. After the jump are a few of our favorite #Siroting memes and mockery, courtesy of Twitchy.com:
I feel like @davidsirota is going to jump right out of his avatar and douchebag me into submission.

Add @salon to the list of outlets publishing really despicable and utterly nonsensical garbage in the wake of the Boston attack

The meme even trended nationally at one point last night:
Colorado, aren’t you so proud of your leading liberal luminary?
We would urge that someone fire Sirota, but everyone who has ever hired him has already done that.
Why give this left wing extremist Sirota any coverage. He's a loser.
In case the libs want to complain…
