point for you

Democrats are hypocrites too

Hot Air

oooo such diversity, having an atheist on the same blog as a religious Republican and herself as a "conservative"

We should be proud. Talk about a lot of hot air...

The Mommy Wars

Yes. You are correct. Sarah Palin was criticized for not putting her family first when she was running for office. But Ms. Malkin, you should know that women all over the political spectrum got up and defended her, no matter how much they might disagree with Gov. Palin's political ideology.

I think you do know this. You're just choosing to ignore it because it doesn't support your argument.

talk about a hard sell

Apparently there is a "Liberal Feminist Establishment"?

Because I'm pretty sure women are still a minority on most avenues to power, and within that group, there is a decent mix of "liberals" and "conservatives"

addendum

Okay, liberals do like Keith Olberman and Huffington Post. For humor but we do read them nonetheless.

Use serious sources

I want to believe you Ms. Malkin, I really do.

But please, I beg of you, use sources which the rest of the country takes seriously when you're citing misogyny on the left. Gawker? Perez Hilton?

And defending tea bagging against "mean spirited attempts to deride it" in the context of gay marriage when the issue was taxes, and ignoring that there was some humor in the phrasing is just plain funny

Give me a break

Michelle Malkin's Self Professed Bait and Switch

So, rather then discussing the "Girls Gone Wild Culture," Ms. Malkin has decided to talk about misogyny on the left.

This will be good.

Not 5 minutes in, she is defending Sarah Palin and other "strong" women in the Republican party against a left which "just can't stand a minority which has betrayed its group" and has led to a "conservative female abuse"

She choose this topic because we're a women's college. And of course, after confirming that the majority of the audience identified as liberal, she continues on her ideological tirade that women should be exactly what Democrats want them to be. And it's the Democratic party's fault.

More to come from the liveblog of hte WC Democrats.

Misogyny exists in the world. And in the Democratic party. But let's put the blame where it belongs okay?

Bipartisanship

In a renewed effort to reach across the aisle and embrace our fellow college-aged political activists, an anonymous member of the Wellesley College Democrats took one for the team and made out with a Republican from MIT last night. Not just any Republican, either -- an ROTC soldier boy.

We hereby welcome a new era of political cooperation.

Education as the "civil rights" movement of the 21st century?

What "equal access"?

Watching what I missed while in transit

MSNBC's video of the debate makes McCain's and Obama's ties look like they're flashing colors.

There isn't really substance to my entries.

Oh Snap!

McCain: Senator Obama, I am not President Bush. If you want to run against President Bush you should have run 4 years ago.

How will your bffl feel?

Joe: The Plumber
