My Appreciation for both your spirit, and your beauty is only equaled by my appreciation for your common sense logic, and my joy that you are on our side of this discussion. Thank you for everything. You see with women such as yourself on our side, I am more than certain that the right will eventually over come the addled brained thinking of those on the left. I pray my Dear that you continue to fight the good fight, and that strength flow from you into all you bless with your presence. - Lorica Ohhhh, by the way my Dear Sister, there is nothing that I think or say about you, that I could not or would not say if I were standing right in front of you.

I have said this before, and most likely I will say this again. Some on the left have moved so far to the left, they believe everyone to the right of them, is a conservative. <blockquote>Since you have a full on case of both slow wits and projection, it's no wonder you felt compelled to leave the reality-based side of the aisle and join the Wingnutteria. </blockquote> If there is a case of "The pot calling the kettle black" it is this statement. Odd how there is little to no defense of the statement, just the accusation. Unless you call this some sort of defense of the statment?? <blockquote>No, you didn't hit "close to home". You were funny; we made fun. </blockquote> Like a good leftie intellect they poke fun at others, instead of trying to actually engage in a discussion. After this statement is more accusation with no defense. /yawn Please, someone, wake me up when the adults come out to talk about these things. No Eric, she is not nutty to say that.

Since you have a full on case of both slow wits and projection, it’s no wonder you felt compelled to leave the reality-based side of the aisle and join the Wingnutteria.

No, you didn’t hit “close to home”. You were funny; we made fun.

Marcotte comments: "I do believe, but may be mistaken, that the Independent is a right wing rag, which would explain why they spike the story with the fear that women will use our newfound freedoms to commit anti-male genocide." Reading this, I very nearly choked on my coffee. <em>The Independent</em> is one of the most left-wing tabloids in Britain; it vies with the <em>Guardian</em>. This women isn't just nutty; she's clueless. I can deal with routine insanity; but getting one's information so woefully wrong is simply unforgivable. ROFLMAO!!!

“Just to point out one thing, the lovely Miss Marcotte is straight, and has a boyfriend.”

Yeah, but as soon as some one invents a vibrator that mows the yard and takes out the trash that will probably change.

I myself am male, and I've read Marcotte occassionaly. None of the posts you mentioned of her actually signify her hating men. In contrast, I feel much more hatred from a certain segment of far-right women, such as Phyllis Schlafly, who frequently states that men who don't fall under her stereotype aren't "real men". Oh yeah, she thinks that married men are rapists, and that it's ok to draft men but not women. That's not to say she's all that supportive of women either; I personally think she's just hates 99% of all people. It just so happens that she uses sexist memes in expressing her hatred.

Marcotte, but not one guy I know has ever used the "c" word in my presence, and that includes hundreds of GIs I served with. Perhaps I have just lived a very sheltered existence. More likely, Mz. Marcotte chooses to hang out with the wrong kind of men. Immature men <em>do</em> seem to gravitate toward immature women and vice versa. I’m probably a generation older than Mz.

Thanks for clearing that up...isn't there a Democrat presidential candidate out there somewhere she could be embarrassing instead of whining about being "attacked" when she encounters anything as weak as that statement?
