Obama media whore offended by being called an Obama media whore
So naturally, she shuts down the debate.
Sarah Palin and her kids, or any other woman who dares depart from orthodox liberal groupthink? Fair game, of course.
I can’t get too exercised over this Letterman/Palin brouhaha, really. LIberal numbskulls in the media, the entertainment industry, and damned near everywhere else have been calling anyone and everyone who disagrees with them this and much worse for years, preferring to make personal attacks rather than engage ideas they loathe, fear, and are incapable of grasping. How do you think it came to pass that the notion of conservatism as a flimsy mask for racism, sexism, homophobia, and every other sort of bigotry you could name has become a major obstacle to open and honest debate, a hurdle that conservatives must jump before being allowed to even speak up?
Far as I’m concerned, the thing to do is hurl it right back in their teeth. Hoping to elevate the debate by refusing to use their own tactics against them is, as Captain Mal once said, a long wait for a train that don’t never come. Of course, there’s nothing wrong with high-minded nobility (except its ineffectiveness); I wouldn’t expect Victor Davis Hanson or Michelle Malkin or Charles Krauthammer to suddenly start sounding like, uhh, me, for instance. But that hardly means guys like me or Jeff or Bill have no place in the debate, either; Ace leads the way, with as fine a bit of ribald trash-talk as you’re gonna see:
…Contessa Brewer is a cheap, sore-riddled nasty bit of gutterscrunge who’ll rent you her mouth for the change in your pocket. A tawdry wallow-trollop oozing with syphilitic fester who raises her filthy skirts at the scent of crack-smoke. A disease-dripping pincushion, the media’s vile mattress of last resort, a pathogen in garish vinyl high heels, a loose-toothed croup-breathed nightcrawler reeking of bathtub gin and the genetic stink of human desperation.
Noble? Nah. Funny as hell? Yep. And he didn’t even have to cuss.
Stupid liberal whore brought a knife to a gunfight — a situation those of us most comfortable with blasting at them with hand cannons, rather than slicing them with rapiers, ought to make damned sure they become a lot more familiar with. Encore:
Contessa Brewer really is a skanky bit of mung-trash, isn’t she?
Why is it that when Imus calls this bit of fun-muscle, oozing with foul custard and slackened and sloppy from over-use, a “skank,” it’s “over the line” but when Letterman calls Sarah Palin a “slut” it’s just a harmless bit of japing ?
Because we’ve tacitly agreed to let them get away with setting the terms and conditions in advance of any argument, that’s why. With effective battlespace preparation like that, is it any wonder we usually find ourselves chased off the field in retreat before the first shot is even fired?
