The impressive thing about Steve King is that every time you think you can't hate him any more than you already do, he opens his mouth and finds some new way of stoking your ire.

I wonder how often the author gets confused for him.

We do call bigotry out when we see it happening from our side, but the left isn't immune to it.

We're still allowed to mock people though. We call McConnell a turtle, we call Sessions a Keebler Elf, and Conway shouldn't be immune to that just because she's a woman. She holds a huge position of power and is responsible for disseminating a lot of false information. Don't make gendered insults obviously but shut up with the "so much for the tolerant left" concern trolling because someone said a politician looks ugly.

comparing anthropomorphism of an elf and a turtle to mocking conway because she doesn't meet the standards of appearance we have developed for women in the public light is not the same

Why aren't you bitching at the people continuing the derail by being sexist / rude to entire members of marginalized groups to everyone in earshot, some of whom surely have to hear those things way too often for it to be healthy? Why are you just yelling at the person who is neutrally pointing out a simple fact they observe? Why is it OK to also harm innocent bystanders in your attempts to attack evil people, who are definitely less likely to be reading the insults?

Jennifer Rubin is really mad about the state of the GOP you guys.

quote:

If the GOP had not become unhinged about the Clintons, would it have rationalized Trump as the lesser of two evils? Only in the crazed bubble of right-wing hysteria does an ethically challenged, moderate Democrat become a threat to Western civilization and Trump the salvation of America.

Indeed, for decades now, demonization — of gays, immigrants, Democrats, the media, feminists, etc. — has been the animating spirit behind much of the right. It has distorted its assessment of reality, giving us anti-immigrant hysteria, promulgating disrespect for the law (how many “respectable” conservatives suggested disregarding the Supreme Court’s decision on gay marriage?), elevating Fox News hosts’ blatantly false propaganda as the counterweight to liberal media bias and preventing serious policy debate. For seven years, the party vilified Obamacare without an accurate assessment of its faults and feasible alternative plans. “Obama bad” or “Clinton bad” became the only credo

point is that harping on women's looks perpetuates a culture of sexual objectivity. it's ok to recognize that even if conway is human garbage because calling it out is about ending the behavior not defending the person.

comparing it to objectifying men is a false dichotomy and dishonest/dumb/gross mra garbage

also suggests a lack of creativity because come on anyone with eyeballs can see she's ugly as heck get some new material

in short y'all need to get woke. russia tryna end us son

As long as privilege politics get routinely deployed to basically mean 'it's okay when I mock you but not okay for you to mock me,' it's never going to move beyond preaching to the choir. Calling women you don't like bitches or sluts isn't great, but people post photoshopped pictures of Steve Bannon to make him look even more grotesque than really is, and Trump is attacked as an old fat piece of poo poo on a regular basis (oh no fat shaming!). Taking a bold stance against sexism when people attack Kellyanne for her looks is disingenuously out of context and/or elevating your single priority above how loving awful she is by turning her into some kind of victim. She's absolutely not, she just happens to look like a reanimated carcass.

Dear Constant Reader,

Thank you for your criticism regarding Rep. Steve King's latest comment that poor people should be crucified, but you've got the wrong address. I am a horror writer, and you are seeking the actual horror-person, who is a United States Representative, with the power to make laws. There was supposed to be a Senate to stop him, but it turns out the Turtle couldn't help us.

Regards,

Stephen King, the author

Saw a comment on Twitter that this is why nepotism always runs into trouble. If it's just someone you hired you can jettison them and say "we fired the bad apple" and be done with it, but you can't fire your family. Trump can't rid himself of Don Jr and Kushner no matter how deep the poo poo that they end up in.
