I had a great time at the Gareth Emery show last evening. But if I thought my ears were ringing then I only had to check in on this morning's ATP&N Tea Party bashing!
Sipping my triple ristretto, I am highly amused at the little hatefest of the Tea Party going on today. The Dems, the progs and the pantyhose wearing libruls are in a real tizzy! Maybe they woke up, and found that they really, really, really aren't going to be getting the respect they thought they deserve after having their way with the country for the past four years?
Amidst the diatribes, I am flabbergasted at the liberal claim that these exploitative cads are somehow "for" women, minorities, the underdogs. That their policies and actions reek of condescension always escapes them.
More and more, however, the misogyny is coming out in the open, particularly as the Tea Party, the conservatives, the libertarians and the Republicans (no, they are not the same, not at all) are fielding lots and lots of women as candidates. Hear them roar!
See if you can find any substantive addressing of political platforms by the prog critics here and in the press.
Actually, don't bother. All you will find are insults about appearance (though aren't these conservative women quite attractive, physically as well as intellectually?) and a wholesale attempt to nitpick their "commonness."
I think the applicable term is "catty."
