But as a nonpartisan, I’m also a firm believer in supporting all members of my gender when attacked due to their gender. I am supporting these women herewith.
I also want to note that at least one woman on the list is so venom-spewing, she unfortunately invites venom to be shot back at her: Michelle Malkin. Her posts and her “routine” are so venomous and predictable, in fact, I stopped paying attention to her years ago.
Others on the list, however, are not venom-spewing at all. One woman mentioned on the atlasshrugs2000 blog is a regular guest on my PBS show. Amanda Carpenter, on the show at least, eschews personal judgment of people with whom she disagrees politically. So her inclusion on the Playboy list is much more offensive to me than is the inclusion of Ms. Malkin, although their political views may not differ greatly.

Yeah, because some people deserve to have rape wished on them more than others. Way to stand up for a fellow woman, you insufferable twit.
BakerAllie on June 3, 2009 at 12:02 PM
Just look at the way she was dressed. Right, ladies?
LibTired (KO) on June 3, 2009 at 12:03 PM
“Tolerance” on display.
cs89 on June 3, 2009 at 12:03 PM
I’m not an exhaustive follower of MM, but exactly when does she “spew venom”? That’s a pretty strong characterization. She mocks, ridicules and shows contempt on occasion, but she is never profane or obscene, right?
This si the hallmark of liberal columnists… general statements with no evidence.
Muswell Hillbilly on June 3, 2009 at 12:03 PM
LibTired (KO) on June 3, 2009 at 12:03 PM
BINGO! She was “just asking for it” eh?
29Victor on June 3, 2009 at 12:04 PM
So Bonnie Erbe is ok with raping women who “deserve” it, such as wearing short skirts or walking in a park after dark or hold political views different from her.
How about just saying “rape is wrong. period. always.” and leave it at that. This just shows the Left’s true colors, that violence is inherent in their system.
rbj on June 3, 2009 at 12:04 PM
Blame the victim.
What a hypocrite.
WisCon on June 3, 2009 at 12:04 PM
Stay classyKeep spewing, Bonnie.Brat on June 3, 2009 at 12:05 PM
So Truth is now Venom.
Stay blissfully ignorant Bonnie Erbe and you’ll be up for a cabinet position – woo hoo for you!
rockbend on June 3, 2009 at 12:05 PM
Is this the feminist/liberal version of “uncovered meat” excuse?
jharada on June 3, 2009 at 12:05 PM
(emphasis mine)
Yeah, right.
And herewith? Join the 21st century, lady.

“But as a nonpartisan”
I quit reading there.
hanoverfist on June 3, 2009 at 12:06 PM
Venom….Liberal word for truth.
Knucklehead on June 3, 2009 at 12:07 PM
She also asked for this of course.
sammypants on June 3, 2009 at 12:07 PM
More lefty hypocrisy of which they are supposed to be morally incapable.
Lefty value: Never blame the chick victim of an attack.
Violation: She just blamed a chick victim of a “verbally violent” sexist attack.
29Victor on June 3, 2009 at 12:08 PM
OMG Bonnie Erbe is spewing venom while wrongly claiming that Michelle Malkin spews venom. Then Ms Erbe makes the perverse suggestion that somehow Michelle Malkin deserves to be targeted.
Bonnie Erbe sounds like an irrational nutjob. She claims to be nonpartisan while trying to give Playboy a pass.
Hey Bonnie, its time to douche your brain.
Geochelone on June 3, 2009 at 12:09 PM
You should have kept reading, you missed the funny part when she mentioned her show on PBS!
‘PBS’ and ‘bipartisan’ LMAO!
cntrlfrk on June 3, 2009 at 12:11 PM
Her chickens are coming home to roost?
…oh, and I guess all rape victims were asking for it.
mankai on June 3, 2009 at 12:13 PM
Both MM and HA tell the truth on what is going on in our country. We don’t much of the truth from the msm. Truth hurts doesn’t it bonnie?
L
letget on June 3, 2009 at 12:13 PM
The left hates Michelle Malkin because Michell Malkin is so effective in shining the light of truth on the leftists. Bonnie Erbe is a media buffoons.
Hey Michelle keep up the good work. You are awesome and quite brilliant.
Geochelone on June 3, 2009 at 12:13 PM
Jealous much, you twelve-pack ditch pig? I guess Bonnie is still stinging over going to prom solo.
BigAnge on June 3, 2009 at 12:15 PM
This article by Bonnie Erbe is almost as dumb, hateful and biased as what playboy did. The leftards are really showing their true colors.
Geochelone on June 3, 2009 at 12:16 PM
Liar.
Blacksheep on June 3, 2009 at 12:16 PM
Bonnie, you are a buffoon.
NebCon on June 3, 2009 at 12:17 PM
Anyone ever say Keith Olberdouche “spews vemon” (sir)?
How about Crissy Matthews?
Or Bill “washed up hippie f*ck” Mahrer?
Didn’t think so, effin’ hypocrites.
The left openly advocates vigilante justice on conservative pundits now.
omnipotent on June 3, 2009 at 12:17 PM
well ain’t that the pot calling obama black
BPD on June 3, 2009 at 12:17 PM
And they wonder why most people don’t take feminists seriously.
mizflame98 on June 3, 2009 at 12:18 PM
Michelle is also a female and a minority. This completely unnerves liberals. The overt racism constantly thrown at her from the Left is, or should be, embarrassing to them, as should be this blatantly sexist attack from one of the most strident liberal feminist commentators in the country.
rockmom on June 3, 2009 at 12:18 PM
“I’m not partisan but rightwingers suck.”
eforhan on June 3, 2009 at 12:18 PM
If you stopped reading years ago, how do you know what is in her posts?
Vashta.Nerada on June 3, 2009 at 12:20 PM
There is a name for such: catty!
OldEnglish on June 3, 2009 at 12:22 PM
She takes her political opinion out of her article, and then immediately puts it back in again.
I understand perfectly well that airheads always get hysterical and scream “sexist” whenever anyone takes their words at face value; so I’ll do it.
What is the net effect here? She’s basically saying she’d like to do the same thing to Michelle Malkin that Playboy suggests; she’s just mad because she can’t.
logis on June 3, 2009 at 12:23 PM
oops.
bi -> non
damn malt liquor
cntrlfrk on June 3, 2009 at 12:24 PM
Even if one believes Michelle Malkin “spews venom”, aren’t there some kinds of venom you just don’t spew? I have no idea why sex, rape, or hate f#cking got brought into this by Playboy or is condoned by Erbe. Would a man ever talk about hate f#cking another male political opponent, even one that spews venom?
Would Erbe think soldiers could hate f#ck captured female terrorists? They can be kind of saucy, you know.
MayBee on June 3, 2009 at 12:24 PM
The silver lining?
We’re the side in favor of gun ownership, and we practice it.
So people can fantasize all they want…free country, after all…
…until the day they try to make it reality.
MadisonConservative on June 3, 2009 at 12:25 PM
Erbe’s attitude toward Ms. Malkin is just an expression of the depth of hate that flows through the souls of Obamabots.Imagine going through life with that amount of hatred constantly gnawing at you; twisting and tearing your soul till you can do nothing but scream venom at any target of opportunity.
Truely, it must suck to be them.
lonesomecharlie on June 3, 2009 at 12:26 PM
So Bonnie thinks it is ok for her to wish violent things happen to people you disagree with because she is so smart etc..
So if I said I wished Bonnie to be chased down the street by rabid economists, hermetically sealed in a room with lactose intolerant truckers who each finished off a gallon of butter milk and then slapped about the head and ears with a salami before being forced to sit in a corner with a dunce cap on that would be fine right?
Nothing really violent as I am not good enough to work for US News as I can not pose like the bovine winner in a 4-H club.
LincolntheHun on June 3, 2009 at 12:27 PM
On top of that, MM graduated from Oberlin College…and she’s left-handed!
BuckeyeSam on June 3, 2009 at 12:27 PM
You complain about Playboy’s hate site, then you go to the trouble of preserving it and re-publishing it! Just how stupid are you? It’s like Bill O complaining about all the titillating videos on the net… then showing said videos.
B26354 on June 3, 2009 at 12:29 PM
Erbe can’t admit that Obama has a word for her: Sweetie.
BuckeyeSam on June 3, 2009 at 12:29 PM
The truth is ugly. It must be preserved so that it cannot later be denied.
BuckeyeSam on June 3, 2009 at 12:30 PM
The commenters over there are giving the Erbster a rash. Cool.
Bugler on June 3, 2009 at 12:31 PM
Muswell Hillbilly and others.
I agree, it sure would be nice to have some examples of what they consider venom.
It would have been so easy for Erbe to provide a couple of links to MMs venom that this once again borders on a straw-man attack.

Fogpig on June 3, 2009 at 12:35 PM
To be ‘defended’ by Bonnie Erbe is not an honor. Intelligence just took a dive.
Schadenfreude on June 3, 2009 at 12:35 PM
You can put lipstick on an Erbe but it is still an Erbe.
That’s what Barry would say.
Geochelone on June 3, 2009 at 12:35 PM
Bonnie needs help, sounds like she’s taken one to many blows to the head.
christene on June 3, 2009 at 12:37 PM
Funny idea of support.
MamaAJ on June 3, 2009 at 12:37 PM
If you stopped listening to her YEARS AGO, then why would you even bring her up by name? You obviously don’t know anything about what she says or does…
Idiot. I’m a woman and I don’t support your idiocy. Self righteous ‘feminist’ Good grief.
Just like Obama…try to be all things to all sides.
bridgetown on June 3, 2009 at 12:53 PM
Exactly.
Hey, Bonnie. STFU.

I’m sure she’d love it if someone applied that logic to murdered abortion providers.
TexasDan on June 3, 2009 at 1:10 PM
Thanks. I went back and read the comments, they’re awesome.
29Victor on June 3, 2009 at 1:15 PM
The comments are one long, unbroken string of hard slaps to the snout of this pig Erbe. My favorite mocks Erbe:
This is pretty much the same brand of “liberal feminist” that stood mute on the sidelines while Bill Clinton spent 8 years molesting and/or raping women from his seat in the Oval Office. “Yeah, well, those sluts deserved it.”
Jaibones on June 3, 2009 at 1:38 PM
Huh?
Jaibones on June 3, 2009 at 1:40 PM
LOL.. Erbe is as “nonpartisan” as Adolf Hitler.
Caper29 on June 3, 2009 at 1:40 PM
The left thought it was funny to talk about Sarah Palin being raped, too.
Quisp on June 3, 2009 at 1:46 PM
She doesn’t know what Michelle spews. She’s probably just passing along a false accusation that she’s heard along the way.
blink on June 3, 2009 at 1:46 PM
What this fool is saying is the equivalent of blaming women who get raped because somehow they invited it.
This is absolutely despicable, but it is par for the course for the left wing.
J.J. Sefton on June 3, 2009 at 1:55 PM
Yeah, I left a comment for her, too. Almost 100% of the comments are pro-Michelle. Most of them are civil, too, so she can’t call Michelle’s defenders “venomous”.
KS Rex on June 3, 2009 at 2:05 PM
MM has made one of the strongest rebuttals to the self-hate-we-are-no-better-than-them-anti-American standard argument, “Well, just look at what we did to the Japanese during WWII…”
She is verboten.
deesine on June 3, 2009 at 2:08 PM
Apparently, for leftists, the more coherent and well-reasoned a political opponent’s arguments are, the more said arguments sound are akin to spewed venom. Whatever. It’s really hard to respect a liberal’s opinion on anything because to subscribe to their ideas – which have been constantly proven to be nearly universally faulty – they must either be stubbornly ignorant or consciously malicious.
