Idiotic takes on the ongoing Baltimore riots aren’t restricted to the airwaves: here are the top ten worst reactions to the riots the liberal media Twitterverse had to offer. (WATCH: Badly Injured Cop Dragged Away From Baltimore Riot)

The New Republic’s Jamil Smith: rioters are just “children” who were “communicating.”

I don't condone this, but we need to listen to what these children in Baltimore are communicating. Make no mistake, this is communication. — Jamil Smith (@JamilSmith) April 27, 2015

Huffington Post’s Marc Lamont Hill: Baltimore is an “UPRISING,” not a riot.

Riots are what happened in Kentucky after the basketball team lost the championship.What we're seeing is an international wave of UPRISINGS. — Marc Lamont Hill (@marclamonthill) April 28, 2015

MSNBC’s Christopher Hayes can’t understand why the media only started reporting about West Baltimore once thousands of people started rioting.

When West Baltimore *isn't* rioting, the national media, by and large, could not possibly care less what's happening there. — Christopher Hayes (@chrislhayes) April 28, 2015

CNN’s Sally Kohn calls for “perspective,” crows that Balitmore is “rising.”

Looting a real shame. But FAR MORE shameful is pattern of police violence against black community! Perspective, people. #BaltimoreRising — Sally Kohn (@sallykohn) April 27, 2015

Politico’s Glenn Thrush doesn’t seem to know the difference between a riot and terrorist attack.

Seeing many, many folks Tweet a variant of 'whites don't riot.' Serious question: Does this qualify? https://t.co/kww0PY6Irq — Glenn Thrush (@GlennThrush) April 28, 2015

Have you heard people calling for an end to violence in Baltimore? Well Vox.com has the “perfect response” to those morons!

Vice Sports’ David Roth seems unperturbed about the complete destruction and looting of a local business.

Tragic. All the hard work this check cashing company did gouging, cheating, and screwing over the community, gone. pic.twitter.com/GovVwsTKxy — David Roth (@david_j_roth) April 27, 2015

Salon is (sigh) still Salon.

Burning police cars and destroying private property is a legitimate political strategy http://t.co/Rx7RxQzLwr pic.twitter.com/Kft0JKy672 — Salon.com (@Salon) April 28, 2015

The Daily Kos’ Shaun King says that anyone who calls the rioters “thugs” (including Baltimore’s black mayor) are actually calling them the n-word.

Listen carefully to how it's used. "Thug" is the new nigger. My post from October on this very thing… http://t.co/pcFAmIIHGj — Shaun King (@ShaunKing) April 28, 2015

Replace the word "thugs" w/ nigger for these tweets. He's speaking VERY racially. pic.twitter.com/75anL9Caou — Shaun King (@ShaunKing) April 28, 2015

The Atlantic’s Ta-Nehisi Coates attacks those calling for peace in Baltimore, calling them the “aggressors” and their appeal “a ruse.”

"When nonviolence begins halfway through the war with the aggressor yelling "time-out!" it exposes itself as a ruse." http://t.co/6daMuw95LN — Ta-Nehisi Coates (@tanehisicoates) April 28, 2015
