My, oh my.\u00a0 I seem to have stirred up a firestorm<\/strike> dust-devil of petulance.<\/p>\n
It seems a conservative can’t say he supports women’s right to equal protection, access and treatment under the law and by society without having gaggles of intellectual lilliputians vex him.<\/p>\n
Where do we start?<\/p>\n
MNob, who writes at Cucking Stool, Norwegianity, MNob, MinBlue, MinLeft, MinVolved, MinDem, DemMin, BlueDem, MinRedWatch, RedWatch, RedWatchMN, BlueStool, Bluegianity, Blog of the Shrieking Incontinent Left, StoolWatch, RedStool, Cucking Blue, BlueVolved, Cuckegiainity, PowerBlue, Lawyers Without Constraints, BlueCuck, Stooling Knob, LeftBlueVolved, Feminixies…<\/em><\/p>\n Um, where were we?<\/p>\n Oh, yeah – MNob brings the same keen, logical, intellectual approach to my legitimate claim that she brought to dissecting Olson v. Brodkorb<\/em><\/a>:<\/p>\n Over at Shot in the Dark (no, I won\u2019t link there),<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Didja know that’s the latest way Minnesota’s increasingly insular, increasingly paranoid,\u00a0every-more-gutless\u00a0leftybloggers try to get atcha these days?\u00a0\u00a0By not linking to people <\/em>that they’re talking about?<\/p>\n They’re afraid, of course, that their audience will be free to make up their own minds.\u00a0<\/p>\n And I tell you – I’m cut to the quick.\u00a0 To the quick, <\/em>I say.<\/p>\n But I digress:<\/p>\n \u00a0Mitch Berg takes on the events in Austin<\/font><\/a> and domestic terrorism, trying to wrap himself in the flag of feminism to make a point that isn\u2019t entirely clear even after reading the piece three times over.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Of course, MNob’s readers – who don’t have the benefit of a link to my original piece<\/a> – won’t know that I didn’t “take on” the events in Austin at all (except to condemn them), and didn’t “wrap myself” in any “flag”.\u00a0 MNob could say pretty much anything she wants to about me (which is, indeed, her usual MO anyway).<\/p>\n My point was pretty clear:\u00a0 The original blog I linked to, “Feministe”, was a bunch of victim-mongering, hysterical dimbulbs.<\/p>\n …it\u2019s pretty hard to see what the premise is beyond taking \u201cfeminists\u201d to task for being angry that they might be exposed to violence when going in for that annual pap smear.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Remember – this woman is a lawyer<\/em>.\u00a0 Lawyers, supposedly, spend three years learning to be rigorously logical.\u00a0 Of course, to be fair, they also spend three years learning to abuse rhetoric to try to win over the unsuspecting.<\/p>\n Nobody will defend people – male or female – against violence for whatever reason<\/em> more staunchly than I.\u00a0 And I have <\/em>put my ass, physically and literally, on the line to prove it enough times in my life to be able to stand behind that claim.\u00a0 So MNob’s change in subject is particularly callow and logically void.\u00a0 I took “Feministe” to task for claiming (amid a lot of other hysteria)that there is a big media conspiracy to downplay violence against women.\u00a0<\/p>\n One might also wonder if MNob really has much respect for her audience; she giggles at me of citing a CNN report that “regurgitates” data from the BATFE.\u00a0 Ms. Nob – where else does one go for information about bombs<\/em>?\u00a0 The National Organization of\u00a0Women?\u00a0<\/p>\n Of course, MNob tried to stay with substantive discussion (my local leftyblogger standards) of the actual issue. She failed, but she tried.\u00a0And all Robin “Rew” “Chicken to Drink Around Conservatives Any More” Marty can come up with is a bunch of quotes I’ve made\u00a0about <\/em>women<\/a>, most of which she is apparently unequipped to address, none of which address much less attack the fact that I’m the most feminist guy in town.\u00a0 It’s what passes for “journalism” among that set these days, I guess.\u00a0<\/p>\n And then there’s Jeff “All Snark, No Content” Fecke, one of George Soros’ human schnauzers<\/strike> “citizen journalists<\/a>” from Minnesota Money<\/strike>itor.\u00a0<\/p>\n
