CBS fired one of its top lawyers after she said she’s “not even sympathetic” to victims of the Las Vegas shooting since “country music fans often are Republican gun toters.” Attorney Hayley Geftman-Gold wrote the hateful words in a now-deleted Facebook post captured by The Daily Caller.
“If they wouldn’t do anything when children were murdered I have no hope that Repugs will ever do the right thing,” wrote Geftman-Gold on Facebook, perhaps referring to Sandy Hook. “I’m actually not even sympathetic bc country music fans often are Republican gun toters.”

The network issued the following statement to Fox News:
“This individual, who was with us for approximately one year, violated the standards of our company and is no longer an employee of CBS. Her views as expressed on social media are deeply unacceptable to all of us at CBS. Our hearts go out to the victims in Las Vegas and their families.”
Geftman-Gold, a Columbia Law grad who had been with CBS just over a year has since issued a statement of her own:
“Earlier today I posted an indefensible post in a Facebook discussion thread concerning the tragic Las Vegas shooting, a statement I sincerely regret. I am deeply sorry for diminishing the significance of every life affected by Stephen Paddock’s terrorism last night and for the pain my words have inflicted on the loved ones of the victims. My shameful comments do not reflect the beliefs of my former employer, colleagues, family, and friends. Nor do they reflect my actual beliefs — this senseless violence warrants the deepest empathy. I understand and accept all consequences that my words have incurred.”
Her attorney, Carrie A. Goldberg busted out the victim card: “In the last few hours my client, her family and friends have been bombarded by online death unimaginable in quantity and detail. We beg people to show love and support to survivors and loved ones — in Las Vegas and their own lives — instead of creating more violence.”

Ugly Women Syndrome. Wake up people.
Make sure you put that on your resumé you ignorant wench.
Twitter and Facebook are the Id of human thinking.
You had to know without even looking the bitch would have a hyphenated last name. Woman power you know…
I know I said that a few hours ago, but since it became viral and I am now fucked, I really didn’t mean it. Fuck of you yenta bitch
Vile bitch.
It’s a dangerous thing when you high IQed and powerful start to impose these ideas on others.
I wonder how many of her friends and family feel the same way.

Just what kind of @sshole turns innocent victims into a political statement anyway? The kind above, and the kind below:
“You wonder why we’re having problems? Newtown, Connecticut? All across our country with killing, stealing, committing adultery? Because we’ve forgotten the law of God.”
– exJudge Roy Moore, Republican Senate Candidate
Ugly Man Syndrome?
Knew this was and old white guy before checking?
How much more powerful does it get than a Federal Judge or possibly Senator?
Any comments on Mr. Moore from the bleachers, or just hypocritical silence?
“We’ve forgotten the golden rule” is different than “Let’s remove every law abiding citizen’s ability to defend themselves and hunt for food.”
and crickets from the usual local libtard suspects. No wonder. I bet they fully share the biatch’s thoughts.
One would expect a statement about dead goyim like that from a talmudic jew, but fr…. oh, wait…
hypocrites notwithstanding, it’s the usual synagogue filth that wants out guns; as always:

It’s the bullets not the guns..
Yup… I need a fully or semi-automatic rifle with a high-capacity clip to hunt for food. Really? These weapons should be confined to licensed gun ranges. I have no problem with recreational firearms but a little common sense is necessary.
Trader, you’ve made a common mistake. Gun rights are about the ability of people to resist a government that is acting against the will of the people …it’s not about hunting. There is a debate to be had about how far the right to bear arms should go (somewhere short of individuals being permitted to have nukes is reasonable), but it ain’t about hunting for food
Ferd.. I was commenting on Zero’s post above..

Bullshit. The 2nd amendment was designed to allow the citizenry to hunt politicians if they step out of line. The only common sense rule is to keep reminding each and every establishment D.C. motherfucker that we have our sights on all of them if the government gets too oppressive.
