good for you.
and when others are faced with legitimate responses to opinion,
they get deliberately simplistic.
so an argument like this:
passes for a "legitimate response."
You are missing the context.
The context is - and I'm kind of surprised that I have to spell it out - that, here on FYM, conservatives are constantly being told:
- that they hate women, if they are against abortion on demand....
- that they hate gays, if they have reservations about gay marriage....
- that they hate blacks, if they are not on board with Obama.
And yet, the nomination of Sarah Palin has highlighted the latent misogyny of some on the left - and I don't necessarily just mean on this forum.
Or, maybe, just maybe, it isn't actually misogyny.
Maybe the criticisms of the family and life of Sarah Palin - how she CHOSEN to live her life - are being done just for the sake of temporary political expediency.
But, if that is the case, then frankly, it's even worse.
As Andrew Sullivan said with regard to Bush, he thought Bush probably wasn't a real homopobe, but was allying himself with homophobes for the sake of political advancement - which as Sullivan said - and I agree - is worse.
