I wonder if Edwards will call for an independent investigation of who in the Bush administration instigated the campaign to ‘out’ two of his bloggers? I know that Fitzgerald will soon be looking for new assignment.

Neither Ace, nor the comments posted here seemed to point out the most ironic part of the Salon article. Amanda is playing the victim card here — insisting that she has been on the receiving end of “sexist abuse” that has been perpetrated primarily by members of the opposite sex. But IMHO this victim’s card “falls flat” when I know for certain that I have never used a four letter word to describe female anatomy (in reference to ANY woman, at ANY website, at ANY time). By using words like tw*t to describe herself in her postings, Amanda is guilty of abusing herself WAY more than many of us gentlemanly-types ever could.

This is a so-typical response by extreme leftists when caught in their malevolent deeds or words. It’s a continued evasion of personal responsibility and further hate-filled attacks on conservatives and/or religious people.

They combine the “I’m a victim” mantra with the “evil right-wing neo-cons” and/or “evil Christians and/or Jewish” mantras. It’s really a pretty worn standard formula.

Of course, with the bulk of the MSM being leftists, there’s a definite reluctance in the MSM to hold leftists to account.

However, if she’d been a Republican candidate’s staff blogger and made such vile anti-Catholic or general anti-Christian remarks…

Dear Amanda,

Welcome to the obscurity that you SO RICHLY deserve!

That loon is a professional victim looking for a male to attack her. I don’t see how any male would want to be within arms reach of her for fear she would accuse him of some lurid act. Edwards dodged a potential sexual harassement scandle by firing that moonbat!

Another thing……I don’t get it…she rants about how much sex she is having and I gotta tell ya, I don’t think there are that many guys out there that would think her attractive. I sure don’t.

It’s a darn good thing that Marcotte is totally secure in her female feminine feminism. Can’t imagine how bad things would get if she were just a wee bit paranoid about men hating her.

The fact is, Ms. Marcotte, you cannot write, you can barely think, and you are nodoby anybody would waste the effort to hate. You spewed filth and swill in the name of a presidential candidate, or at least on his dime, and canning you was his only chance at staying viable for another week. Had you been male, the results would have been identical.

You will be completely forgotten within the next ten days, so enjoy the attention while it’s there.

Of course J. Goldstein is the Master, but everyone needs a brake, now and then, see-dubya, and it’s good he lets you and others take an occasional ‘spin’, in a good sense :)

I find the blogging world intriguing and addictive, in a good way, and still in its infancy. Lots of potential. Don’t know how we lived without the internet.

What is the deal with her claims about being opressed because she is a woman? Was there no male authority figure in her life, where was she raised? In a men’s prison? I’m being serious. This is 2007, and I’m 42. I was raised during the equal rights struggle. I can honestly say that I have never been slighted, nor have I witnessed any other women being slighted because of gender. Has this chick stopped to think that it might be her less than appealing personality and not her gender that is causing her angst?

I wonder if that might be what is making her most angry…she is being relegated back to the oblivion she was in prior to edwards hiring her. With that inflated delusional ego, she has to justify this to herself somehow. either way, just reading what she has written, I feel sorry for her. What a sad, empty, angry little world she has made for herself. I, for one, will pray for her. God requires that of me.

THAT is funny, her head would explode if someone talked to her like that…although a more accurate rendition would read “Hey, petri dish panties,..”

Jeff leaves the keys laying around, and I take pw for a ride now and then.

But it’s a better blog when Goldstein writes it. I’d rather he did it.

Check out Melissa McEwan who put her version on what she must of thought would be friendly grounds, the Guardian's comment is free section. She is getting ripped for the most part and her defense is more myopic than Marcotte.

Nonie Darwish is a great one too.

We sure do Pablo. No real men/women left in Washington, only winies and narcissists.

Do you blog regularly on PW or are you just temporarily a guest? I had no idea you were a blogger…but good for/on you! Regards,

You win the thread, on Comment #2!

Congratulations!

Entelechy, I was just thinking of Ayaan, and Michelle. And Brigette Gabriel and Wafa Sultan… We live in very interesting times, don’t we?

Haha thats awsome; but you didn’t finish it

When I get all steamed up hear me shout

That's not particularly childish language. At least, not for Amanda Marcotte, who's pretty infantile.

Summed up perfectly!

Not all “uppity women” are misandrists

Pablo said it best on Protein Wisdom. That, however, irritates those who are into insanity.

Good grief. This sad excuse for a woman is in need of extensive therapy. Talk about rationalizing your behavior. She blamed everyone and everything for what happened except herself.

Is the Panadagon site meter Ace linked in his post correct?

If so, my local small-town Netroots blogger gets about 3X the traffic. Maybe it’s because he writes respectfully and doesn’t cuss and seeth all the time.
