Are Liberals a Perversely Sexist and Hypocritical Bunch?
The classy political commentary pictured here is meant to be Ann Coulter. I chopped off the topless portion of the graphic. If you so desire, you can see all of topless Coulter over at Arianna's progressively sexist Obama Post -- on a page that makes a point of shouting the headlined words: "Topless Ann Coulter."
Now that Obama Post has become a site devoted to vilifying Hillary Rodham Clinton via the use of every right-wing talking point and ugly photo they can get their sweaty hands on, will we be seeing topless depictions of Senator Clinton?
Why not? If you're a sexist slob dedicated to objectifying and denigrating women, why pretend to have standards?
Since our Bitter-Sociologist-in-Chief is into making generalizations about the flaws of subsets of Democratic voters, here's a question I think he should ponder:
Are Obama supporters a group that is best described as Slobbering Sexist Swine? Or is the group of Obama supporters generally far more sexist than the group of Clinton supporters? After all, it is painfully obvious that if it weren't for Barack Obama's blatant use of the cultural misogyny, the man would have been gone from the race a very long time ago.
Sad to say, the following right-wing bloggers give "liberals" far too much credit:
If Hawkins ran photoshopped pictures of Hillary Clinton topless to satirize her attempts to reach white male voters in the Rust Belt, can we suppose that the Huffington Post — which giggles with glee at the Coulter sketch — would react supportively? I’m with John in guessing that the liberal writers at HuffPo would fall all over themselves to castigate John for demeaning Hillary as nothing more than a sex object.
From John Hawkins over at Right Wing News:
When it comes to conservative women, liberals are a perverse and hypocritical bunch. As a general rule, they either insist that conservative women are hideously ugly or alternately get down in the gutter and aim everything from crude comments, to porn fantasies, to rape threats at the very same women.
Meanwhile, the very same libs who are the first ones to yell "sexist" at the top of their lungs when the mildest gibe is tossed at a woman on the Left, either keep their mouths shut or laugh along at the most grotesque, sexual insults aimed at conservative women.
From right-wing Jules Crittenden:
The fact is, Coulter is pretty shockingly tasteless. Not clear how that excuses shocking tastelessness in others or makes it funny. [via ]
And the last word from Janis:
[A]s far as women are concerned, there are two parties: those that hate us, and those that don’t. And the boundary line dividing those two parties doesn’t have a damned thing to do with the line dividing Democrat from Republican, or liberal from conservative.
