Gateway Pundit Blames Logan's Assault on "Her Liberal Belief System"

A new low today for Jim Hoft, aka Gateway Pundit. Hoft today claimed that Logan's sexual assault was due to her "liberal belief system," and "political correctness:"
Lara Logan is lucky she's alive.
Her liberal belief system almost got her killed on Friday. This talented reporter will never be the same.

Why did this attractive blonde female reporter wander into Tahrir Square last Friday? Why would she think this was a good idea? Did she not see the violence in the square the last three weeks? Did she not see the rock throwing? Did she miss the camels? Did her colleagues tell her about the Western journalists who were viciously assaulted on the Square? Did she forget about the taunts from the Egyptian thugs the day before? What was she thinking? Was it her political correctness that about got her killed? Did she think things would be different for her?
Truly despicable behavior from Hoft.

h/t to Media Matters who also added this:
One thing you learn when covering Gateway Pundit Jim Hoft is to never declare anything he does "rock bottom," because he always manages to find a new low.


Update: Hoft also called Logan a "whore" in 2008 because she's slept with more than one person in her life.

This week Adam and I talked about the developments in Egypt---particularly the right wing's reaction to them--along with the right's conflation of the Islamic faith with extremist groups. We also discussed the $315 million merger between The Huffington Post and AOL, along with the battle for local control over the police force here in St. Louis.
