Sister Toldjah took off the kid gloves today in response to foul-mouthed fem-blogger Jane Hamsher's faux-indignant act:
Another day, another lefty blog, another instance of hypocrisyOver at Memeorandum, I see that Jane Hamsher's uber-lefty feminist blog Firedoglake is calling on Maine Senator Susan Collins to fire her official campaign blogger for alleged "sexist" and "misogynistic" remarks he (gasp) made towards the Firedoglake gang. For the record, here were the remarks (in response to the stories about Collins Dem opponent Tom Allen hiring a "tracker" to essentially stalk her every move):
" ...the foul-mouthed fem-blog FiredogLake ..."
The response from the fem-blog:
"I'm deeply offended that Senator Collins would speak about professional women in such a degrading and offensive manner," said Hamsher. "It is well beneath the dignity becoming a sitting Senator to engage in such coarse and misogynistic rhetoric."
Strange. So a Republican calling a feminist a feminist is "misogynistic"? Ah well. Color me guilty as charged. Oh, how I hate women!!
LOL!!! I guess that puts me firmly in the misogynist camp also. And also, can't these self professed "strong women" take some sticks and stones? Hey Jane, if you want to run with the big dogs, you have to get off the porch. :)
Christy Hardin Smith, featured FDL blogger, said: "The sexist undertones used on Sen. Collins' blog are appalling – the use of "fem-blog" is erroneous and dismissive."
No, it's what they call "descriptive" - kind of like what the Firedoglake crowd does when they describe the right as "wingnuts" (amongst other descriptive terminology they use there).
I'm not going to ruin the fun for you. Read the whole thing. It's like watching a rhetorical steel cage death match between Iron Mike Tyson and Barbara Streisand :)
