(37,648 posts)It was so bizarre and disgusting that I wondered if the site had been hacked. There was no way, I thought, that that article had passed the editor (or who makes the publishing calls) and cleared for being published.

(52,129 posts)and I was hoping people would tweet, email, etc to get them to take it down. Had this been Breitbart, Alex Jones or the like I wouldn't have posted it. But this was from a magazine with a storied past and a liberal reputation. It needed to be seen frankly there was no way to describe it and do it justice.
