We must ignore sexist remarks from "leftist" pundits or the Republicans will win.

26. Since you are taking issue with the man from Rolling Stone, I'll let Dr Thompson say it.

"Some people will say that words like scum and rotten are wrong for Objective Journalism — which is true, but they miss the point. It was the built-in blind spots of the Objective rules and dogma that allowed Nixon to slither into the White House in the first place. He looked so good on paper that you could almost vote for him sight unseen. He seemed so all-American, so much like Horatio Alger, that he was able to slip through the cracks of Objective Journalism. You had to get Subjective to see Nixon clearly, and the shock of recognition was often painful."

And you know, Rush made sexist remarks for years for great profit. He went too far when he lied and slandered a specific person, a non politician, and he did not make 'sexist remarks' he called her a prostitute who expects to get paid for sex and used her name. He claimed she said things she did not say. He lied and slandered. Anyone who sees that as the same as a joke with some gender specifics should have a long long history of speaking against Rush, who makes mere sexist comments daily, for years. As well as racist, homophobic comments. For years on end. With more than one scandal along the way. Fired from gigs in the real media for stuff he said as I recall, long ago. He is what he is. Or was what he was.
