Tripe!

Posted on Tuesday 29 January 2008

Hey! This freedom of speech thing is pretty cool!

It allows people to write crap like this, and likewise allows people like me to call it out for what it is: bigoted, racist, sexist tripe!

Full story here and here, with a h/t to Pam.

    As a parody, that might have been funny in a “did he just say that!?” sort of way. As serious (or even semi-serious) journalism, that was just plain weird.

    This is the same guy who ran a column calling Hillary Clinton a “bull dyke on steroids.”

    It’s actually pretty interesting to watch some of the racial and gender stuff that this year’s campaign is stirring up. We are not as far along as we’d like to think.

    It is the same guy — you’re right, John.

    And while I think “we” are farther along, generally, than this, there’s certainly an element still floating about. I’ve been flat-out amazed by some of the ugliness surfacing in various comment sections here and there.
