Jeffrey Goldberg of The Atlantic for some reason thought this picture had some basis in reality before deleting it after criticism:

Initially Goldberg didn’t say he was deleting the tweet because it was idiotic and inappropriate, but rather because he claimed it was inviting nasty criticism:

From aggressor to victim in a few short minutes!

And now @jeffreygoldberg deletes his deranged tweet & turns himself into a victim! https://t.co/72DUoOgjrY pic.twitter.com/X67FNeB245

Shorter @jeffreygoldberg -I'm deleting my stupid, hateful, rabid tweet because my critics are so stupid, hateful & rabid!

You should've deleted it because it was stupid, too. https://t.co/eRmsQi9Bta @JeffreyGoldberg

@JeffreyGoldberg Look: threats are inexcusable, all decent ppl agree. But original sentiment was also asinine & grotesquely flippant, no?

You poor thing, forced to be an asshole MT @JeffreyGoldberg I'm deleting Palin tweet bc I don't want to read threats made against my family.

Goldberg offered a forced apology:
We all tweet stupid stuff. Just apologize, delete if you want to, and move on smarter. DO NOT shift blame. Not a good look.

Well what was he trying to suggest then?
One thing’s for sure: Goldberg opened a can of worms with his “makes me think of” tweet:
