Around The MOB: Ladies Logic

Every couple of years, some lefty organization or another will release a brow-furrowed “report” on the dearth of female bloggers.

And it’s true – males bloggers outnumber females by a goodly bit.

But on the right, some of the women make up for the number gap by being blog powerhouses.  Some of the top conservative bloggers – Michelle Malkin and Mary Katherine Ham, among others – are women.  And the MOB is loaded with talented women who not only blog, but are powerful and effective at it.

A great example has always been Cindy from h Ladies Logic.

Cindy has been one of the cornerstone Twin Cities conservative bloggers ever since she started writing, almost four years ago.  She was one of the orignal bedrock bloggers for True North.

The wild part?  She’s remained one of Minnesota’s best, most prolific blogs, even after she and her family moved to Utah!

Hard to pick an excerpt from Ladies’ Logic; I liked this bit here:

One of the many epithets that the left loves to pour on right leaning individuals is that they are “haters”….any disagreement with ANY left leaning cause gets you labeled a hater.  You don’t believe that gay marriage is a “right” – you’re a hater.  Don’t think that President Obama has the right answer on health care = hater…don’t agree with him on cap and trade policy = hater…don’t agree with the left on abortion = hater.  The list goes on.  But is that really true?  Consider the reaction from the right when Ted Kennedy, Lion of the Senate was diagnosed with cancer.  Did Rush Limbaugh go out and gleefully gloat over Senator Kennedy’s illness?  No.  Did Sean Hannity pray for his death in retaliation for what Senator Kennedy “did” to Mary Jo Copeckne at Chappequiddick?  NO.  Did Michael Savage….well yes he did but then again Savage is an a…..

The bottom line is all of the mainstream representatives of “the right” except one did not turn the announcement of Senator Kennedy’s illness into a chance to score political points?  As a matter of fact they all (with the one noted exception) offered up prayers to the Senator and his family for his speedy recovery.

Our friends on the left are hardly ever as gracious…

For those of you who don’t already?  Make Ladies’ Logic a stop on your daily MOB (UOB?) rounds!

  1. Help me out Mitch, is that the Lady Logician whose comments I’ve read on other blogs?

  2. thank you for this profile. I hadn’t previously read Ladies Logic, but I will take a look, not in shared political ideology, but in gender solidarity.

    So Mitch, will you be doing a follow up to your recent writing extolling James O’Keefe and his deceptive ‘editing’, now that the Brooklyn DA has come out vindicating ACORN, and Breitbart has admitted to being deceived by O’Keefe (throwing him under the proverbial bus) and claiming he (Breitbart) had never seen the original uncut footage………

    That it was NOT just the whole pimp suit fakery, and how someone’s ‘own words’ (you do remember holding to the idea that their ‘own words’ PROVED that ACORN was criminal, right?) could be edited to misrepresent what they really said — just like the marvelous footage on the Colbert Report Thursday night….

  3. Hey Dog, has ACORN rehired the Brooklyn people they fired for this? Hmm?
    You gotta love a non-profit that wants to help set up brothels for illegal alien minors. If your a “progressive”.

  4. It’s been awhile since I read the transcripts and various reports on the ACORN videos – including the one done by the professional researchers for the Congressional Judiciary Committee – that found no wrong doing by ACORN.

    But the people in the videos who were found to be acting unprofessionally by the ACORN entities, the ones who were subsequently fired, were seasonal part timers, not regular employees. Essentially, not more ‘real’ ACORN staffers any more than a temp would be. So representing them as indicative of how ACORN conducted business was in that regard (among many others) not very accurate.

    As to helping with setting up brothels for illegal alien minors, they didn’t. You must still be going by what the DA describes as the “heavily edited so as to be deceptive and misleading videos”, the ones that even Breitbart is trying to distance himself from having promoted, not the unedited footage which apparently exonerates ACORN.

    It’s looking now as if the only criminals caught on tape will be O’Keefe and Giles. Particularly damning for them are the states where it is not only illegal to record people without their consent, but where there is specific recognition in the laws for portraying people who are recorded without their consent in ways that are disparaging or cause them disrepute that are also fraudulent or misrepresentative in some way – like these tapes.

    You should watch the Colbert Report segment on O’Keefe from Thursday night, March 4th — the one that portrays Colbert on the Fox set in pimp costume with Hannity as one of his hookers, complete with dialog where Hannity admits to having gay sex in hotel rooms as a prostitute, complete with condoms and ‘hooker boots’. The difference being that Colbert is actually more honest about editing together Hannity’s own words from different bits of footage.

    Swiftee should love it, given his fondness for sodomy fantasies…

  5. Kerm, since you may not get around to watching the Colbert segment, let me give you an example of the kind of misrepresentation O’Keefe committed.

    Before he did the ACORN interviews, O’Keefe did some strictly audio recording of conversations with Planned Parenthood offices. The original interviews were around 30+ minutes of talk that were then edited down to a little less than 3 minutes. The following is an approximation of that interview, as alleged not only by the Planned Parenthood staff but also by one of O’Keefe’s friends who was an accomplice and witness to both the original recording and the editing by O’Keefe.

    O’Keefe represented himself to the Planned Parenthood staffer as wanting to donate money for the health care of black women, and the staffer erroneously indicated that money could be designated for groups defined by race (for which she was subsequently fired).

    In the course of that recording, near the end, O’Keefe made the statement that some racist people would approve of his donation, because they wanted to see black women have abortions, there were too many black people. The Planned Parenthood staffer laughed nervously, and agreed that there were some racist people ‘out there’.

    The version O’Keefe edited down represented him as saying he wanted to fund abortions for black women because there were too many black people already, and portrayed the Planned Parenthood staffer as agreeing with him and as a racist when she in fact was the complete opposite.

    Setting aside differences over the topic of abortion, I’d bet that if any friend or family member of yours was so falsely represented in the national media, you’d be pretty unhappy with the person who did that.

    And yet this weekend, Giles and O’Keefe are speaking and being given huge recognition at a major GOP event on the west coast.

    Do YOU condone that?

  6. Doggie, O’Keefe isn’t the only person who Planned “Parenthood” gladly agreed to accept money from to kill black babies. Look up Margaret Sanger and get back to us.
    I’m sorry, but five different instances isn’t just clever editing. It’s a pattern. I’ve watched the videos. They are damning.

  7. All five of those videos, as well as the earlier audio efforts by O’Keefe, ARE ‘clever editing’, just like the Colbert Report segment.

    There have been more investigations than just the Brooklyn DA’s. Not one has found against ACORN, while even Giles’ own claims in soliciting for legal defense fund donations indicate she is anticipating being criminally charged (along with O’Keefe).

    Kermit – have YOU seen the unedited video? If not, then you can’t be so very certain, can you?

    Anyone heard much from Fox News lately promoting O’Keefe?

    No?

    Wonder why?

    Given that they would promote him at the drop of a hat even after the Senator Landrieu fisasco, doesn’t that seem a little curious to you?

    And what about the Breitbart claim of having been deceived? Giles and O’Keefe’s BOSS?

    And that doesn’t even come close to addressing the December report prepared by the congressional research staff at the direction of Congress.

    Sorry Kermit – watching the videos isn’t enough for an informed opinion.

    I think youi’ve been conned. But then so apparently have quite a few right wing big money sources who funded O’Keefe…….

  8. Wow, Stevie Colbert and Faux News are now reliable sources. Good to know. I wonder why ACORN is changing it’s name. I also would be interested in finding out what right wing big money sources funded O’Keefe.
    BTW, has ACORN rehired the people they fired after this, ahem, “fraud”?

  9. Oh, and congressional research at the direction of Congress is absolutely unimpeachable. No, seriously.

  10. ACORN fired two part time seasonal employees. After being embarrassed by them, no matter what they did or did not do wrong, I don’t imagine any organization would continue to employ them. They were stupid people who got fired. The reason given for their termination was unprofessionalism, not fraud. Since people can sue for wrongful termination, usually a lot of care is given to be precise in the reasons given for firing someone.

    I thought what Colbert did was pretty on target as a demonstration of the fraud by O’Keefe and Giles. ACORN offices are changing their name because it works better for their funding efforts; so what? No one on either side denies their ‘brand’ was damanged. The dispute is over it being damaged fairly or unfairly.

    So while I don’t find Fox News a credible source, they do seem to have been the ones ‘stung’ by O’Keefe and Giles, not ACORN. Ditto Breitbart.

    Colbert isn’t news, but like Jon Stewart, he does very good political commentary. They do more fact checking than some so-called news sources, and frequently interview some very interesgting and serious people, despite the comedy angle.

    Doesn’t it seem a little bit inadequate to you Kermit that you are willing to believe heavily altered video despite indications that it is wrong, despite not having the uncut videos released (as O’Keefe and Breitbart promised early on), but you won’t even consider any report that contradicts the videos? Even when those close to the videos start to bail?

    No one can deceive you as well as you deceive yourself Kermit. At some point you are only believing what you want to believe, and not fact.

    But I suspect time will demonstrate which of us is correct, not argument. That uncut footage will come out eventually.

  11. Doggie, I just watched Norm Coleman go from a 200 vote advantage to a 200 vote defict thanks to ACORN and a four to one spending on lawyers. Now you want to tell me that I am only believing what you want to believe?
    Give me a frigging break. Democrat corrution is rampant. Just look at New York and Michigan. It is a pox on our democracy.

  12. Deegee will go to great lengths to carry water for ACORN and The Obamassiah… and Rangel… and Frank… and Dodd… and William Jefferson…

    Go on dog, look to Colbert and Stewart instead of Faux Newz. Pfffttt
