Charlotte Allen Touches a Nerve on Newtown

The wonderful Charlotte Allen has really stirred the pot at National Review Online. She posted a short essay about her reactions to Newtown and what she said has gone viral and vicious. They are up to 1000+ mostly hateful comments at National Review and even the Esquire blog has gone after her. And the comments? Masterpieces of combox invective. Poor Charlotte actually tried to engage the Equire comments, even telling a highly personal account of her own sexual assault. They are having none of it! Read her post and make time for the comments
