“Outrage should not be about who is being called a whore; it should be about the whorehouse that politics has become.”

Spoken like a man. The racism and sexism on many “progressive” blogs is why I pretty much avoid them. It’s like progressives think they have permission or some special hall pass to behave this way, because they are purportedly putting all this energy into anti-racism, anti-sexism, anti-classism and all that. In the meantime, they are swimming in their own privilege, either as White men enjoying racial and gender privilege or White women enjoying racial privilege. The last post on the thread closing it to further comments because the author didn’t want to be called a racist just summed it up nicely.

And “progressive” and “Democrats” in the same sentence, like peanut butter and jelly. More like peanut butter and sardines. Yuck. But then again, after reading this thread, and remembering that lovely blogger get together with Bill Clinton, maybe they belong together.

We would never use the good intentions response to drivers who fall asleep at the wheel and then slam into other cars. Sleepy drivers aren’t malicious, but they have the potential to do great harm.
