Obvious socialism as the asses eat from the left pile of crap first.

Besides, the right has NO leg to stand on when it comes to defending the rights of women. It's absolutely laughable. They only become concerned with it when they can use it as a chance to attack the left. But meanwhile, they support state sanctioned rape via transvaginal ultrasound in order a women to get an abortion. What's more sexist? Assaults using slang terms for vagina, or actual physical assaults on the vaginas themselves?

Give me a break. Political grandstanding crap.

agreed and agreed

While you have a point, the letter purports to be from one girl, not "The Right." Also, is the point not valid? A diatribe against "the other side" doesn't answer that problem.

August's point is also valid. While you may be correct about Women's Rights issues, the left has no leg to stand on at all in comments about political grandstanding.

Sorry, but coming from you that sounds like just another case of marching in lockstep with your party.

The point may be valid, but the sincerity of the motives behind the person making it become the issue. Palin's only using this as a pretext for an attack on the other political side and for that reason makes the whole thing ring hollow and insincere. In other words, a buncha bullcrap.

And for the record, I don't stand behind Maher's comments, I find them to be in poor taste, I think it adds nothing to the national dialogue and he should take his misogynistic views and stick 'em where the sun don't shine. I don't make excuses for him like Sarah Palin did with Limbaugh. See, as I said before, that's being consistent. That's upholding a principle because it's the right thing to do, not because it's a tool that's politically expedient.

I'll give you that, but I couldn't resist pointing out the political hypocrisy.

I agree. I also agree that there's plenty to go around. The only thing I disagree on is when I see people known for their views targetting only other side. Is that true in this case? I don't know, but sometimes it looks like it to me.

I like ducimus' idea. That way, after all the wingers are dead, the moderates can step in and clean up.

Same here. The way I figure it, say about 15% of the voting citizens are far right wing and 15% are far left wing; that leaves about 70% of us who don't give a monkey's about what Limbaugh or Maher have to say. We are kind of like the politcal equivalent of what the "99%" faction is to economics. If we 70% would just ditch the "rubberstamp" adherence to pure party political allegiances and really just think for ourselves, things might get done. I've always said you're probably doing a good job in politics if you have both extremes angry at you...

That aside, I agree.

Sailor Steve, I'm just glad you didn't call me on the inadvertent misspelling of "monkey"

Misspelling? I just thought that was your name for middle aged Utah band members!
