That said, it bothers me to hear Bashir's obscenities criticized as sexist, at least without more proof. His rant was not, per se, sexist. It just happened to be directed at a woman. I'm sure he would love to see the exact same treatment that he proposed for Sarah Palin be applied to Rush Limbaugh or the typical male Freeper. He loathes conservatives, not women.
Those who complain that Bashir's anti-Palin rant was sexist are just as ridiculous as those who complain that strong criticism of Obama is racist.
Ann Richards, a very liberal woman, was election as governor of Texas in part because her conservative opponent made some discourteous —and ridiculous—remarks about her during he campaign. Texas—male-voters were repelled by the remarks. When George Bush ran against her, he was careful to be nothing but courteous—and won. This is how far down the pike we have come, that this ugly little man can get away with this sort of thing.
Well, he especially loathes conservative women.
