Well, I’ll let him answer then, though even if he does believe that his answer will probably be ‘it’s my opinion and you want a cite for it?’ or something along those lines. 😛 ---

If he means “one conservative is motivated by hatred of women, and that’s one too many” what he says is true, but misleading. ---

Well, ‘too many’ is subjective, so again I don’t see how one could produce a cite for that, since it’s going to be subjective to one’s own viewpoint. How many are ‘too many’? Well, one would be ‘too many’ for me, and it would be trivially easy to find a cite showing one conservative somewhere/somewhen who hates women. 😛 ---

Well, one would be ‘too many’ for me, and it would be trivially easy to find a cite showing one conservative somewhere/somewhen who hates women. 😛 Exactly, which is why I formulated it with weasel words. I’m sure I could find a few elected or running without much trouble. But why spend the effort? ---

I was going to make a joke about “Too many” and “Cannibalism”, but then I visited the Huffington Post’s page dedicated to the latter subject and grossed myself out. No link, sorry. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/der-trihs-pitting-du-jour/566714.md?page=22)
