Perfectly Okay…..

.. To “Hate F…” a woman you disagree with – according to a feminist?

I stayed off this story yesterday, but Playboy published, then withdrew, an article about 10 conservative women they’d love to  – well – rape – for grins and giggles. Today a so-called feminist said that was really, really bad – except for Michelle Malkin – which would be her just asking for it, according to said feminist.

I also want to note that at least one woman on the list is so venom-spewing, she unfortunately invites venom to be shot back at her: Michelle Malkin. Her posts and her “routine” are so venomous and predictable, in fact, I stopped paying attention to her years ago.

Others on the list, however, are not venom-spewing at all. One woman mentioned on the atlasshrugs2000 blog is a regular guest on my PBS show. Amanda Carpenter, on the show at least, eschews personal judgment of people with whom she disagrees politically. So her inclusion on the Playboy list is much more offensive to me than is the inclusion of Ms. Malkin, although their political views may not differ greatly.

We’ll just point out that Erbe doesn’t even begin to catch the irony of her complete failure to eschew personal judgment of people with whom she disagrees politically. We will, however, point out that Erbe and US News & World Report owe some apologies here.

Not “Sorry if anyone was offended” ones, either.
