Townhall.com::Was the Holocaust Inevitable?::By Patrick J. Buchanan: Jun 20, 12:35pm 1 review politics
http://www.townhall.com/columnists/PatrickJBuchanan/2008/06/20/was_the_holoca...; It is astonishing to me that anyone could write this. Churchill, not Hitler, was responsible for the Holocaust? And England should have maintained her empire, with all its colonialist horrors? That is real insightful, Buchanan. Oh, and Buchanan? Fuck you for co-opting that T. S. Eliot quote. Fuck you right in the face.

Op-Ed Columnist - Frank Rich - Do Angry Clinton Women Love McCain? - Op-Ed - NY…: Jun 15, 6:26pm 2 reviews politics
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/06/15/opinion/15rich.html?em&ex=1213675200&en=a88...; Right fucking on. I was a Clinton supporter and am now wholeheartedly for Obama. That is because I, like most American women, am a rational human being, and Obama and Clinton have very similar political stances. I could understand someone voting Green Party or something, but women aren't going to vote against the issues they supported two weeks ago just because their favored candidate lost. They aren't insane. And Obama's going to win this thing!

Feministe » Chris Matthews Racism Watch: Jun 7, 9:17am 2 reviews politics
http://www.feministe.us/blog/archives/2008/06/06/chris-matthews-racism-watch/; My favorite part is Matthews saying in the same breath that Obama is too rich and too poor. Who could ever possibly say that with a straight face?

When crying &MISOGYNY& becomes a campaign strategy | culturekitchen: May 25, 11:10am 1 review politics
http://culturekitchen.com/liza/blog/when_crying_misogyny_becomes_a_campaign_s...; I disagree very strongly with much of this article, especially with its criticism of Melissa McEwan. I think it's a wild misinterpretation to say that McEwan has been claiming "that 'Misogyny' happens outside of race, ethnicity and especially class." In cataloging instances of sexism toward Hillary Clinton, issues like race and class haven't come up, because Clinton is white and rich. But McEwan often writes about the intersection of racism and sexism (and all other sorts of -isms). She also has been cataloging instances of racism against Obama, AND instances of sexism against Cindy McCain, AND instances of racism/sexism against Michelle Obama, which the author of this piece explicitly accuses her of not doing. This is not to say that some people don't ignore racism while calling out sexism. Plenty of people do, and that's incontrovertibly wrong. But the fact that the author of this piece is accusing Melissa McEwan of doing that seems to indicate that she isn't reading writing on this issue thoroughly enough, and that makes her entire argument less believable.
