The Silver Fox truly is a death-defying diva!
While Anderson Cooper dodges rockets in Gaza like Neo from The Matrix, he must also defend himself from personal attacks here at home.
The newsman risks his life to illuminate the realities of this escalating Middle-Eastern crisis!
Instead of thanking him, some of Twitter‘s bottom-feeders snipe at him from the darkest corners of the internet, assuming Anderson is too preoccupied to defend himself.
You know what they say about assumptions! They make an “ass” out of “u” and…. uh, “mptions”?
When one anonymous bigot suggested Coop deserved to be the victim of violence because of his sexual orientation, he fired right back!
He responded:
@retireleo wow, tough words from an anon Internet troll. why not use your name and photo, coward? Have some more fritos and keep typing
— Anderson Cooper (@andersoncooper) November 19, 2012
We love it!
He’s fighting this tweet-war on many fronts, though — ch-ch-check out more of our favorite correspondent’s bad-ass responses…AFTER THE JUMP!!!
To a woman who said his news reports were unbalanced:
.@pamela_weiss perhaps spend less time tweeting about coconut flan and more time actually following the news
— Anderson Cooper (@andersoncooper) November 20, 2012
BOOM!
And to a Rabbi suggesting Anderson makes apologies for terrorists:
.@rabbi_sykes excuse me, but how am I apologizing for Hamas by reporting them dragging a body through the streets? That is deeply offensive
— Anderson Cooper (@andersoncooper) November 20, 2012
WHACK!
We aren’t sure how the Silver Fox finds the time, energy, and inclination to fight wars on two different fronts, but we applaud him for doing so!
Bravo, good sir!
Keep up the excellent work, and stay safe out there!
