That line of attack on Mrs. Clinton would rightfully be condemned as misogynistic.

No, if you had heard some of the stuff she’s said you would know why you sound like complete assholes.

Agreed.
Call her out for the crazy shit she’s said. But misogynistic comments like those are bullshit.

I don’t know if it’s misogynistic or transphobic (or both! For kicks!) but it’s offensive.

He should have wondered aloud about whether Leonardo DiCaprio has a vagina or not and whether it’s sandy or not. That’s valid political comment around here.

I don’t go out of my way to make crude wisecracks about Ann Coulter’s bizarre gender situation, but today it was low-hanging fruit.
OH SOMEBODY STOP ME
Seriously, Ann is a racist shit-stain on the underside of a toilet lid. If she ever classes up her act, I will immediately follow suit and rely solely on high Wildean wit to rag her.

And I’m responding to you rather than CarnalK because I don’t wish to engage him, finding him icky.

If someone being racist justifies your being sexist, what does your being sexist justify?

So despite despising her, she’s your moral benchmark. How impressive.

There are thousands of valid things you could use to attack Coulter with, she is a horrible human being. The fact that you go straight for transphobic and ugly woman attacks only proves that you are one too.

Well, it’s hard to feel like you’re feeling all that hot about me right now since, as a woman, I feel pretty targeted by misogynistic attacks.

I apologize. It was a cheap classless joke that I shouldn’t have made. Back there at #5104. (Is THAT the joke I made? It doesn’t seem so bad compared to the other ones up there.). I succumbed to a crude impulse.
In any case, from now on I will treat Ann Coulter with the dignity that she deserves…uh, make that the dignity any human being deserves.
