The complete article, regarding feminist horror at a magazine cover photo of the University's four male chaplains, is funny enough, but this is pure gold.

I visited a Stitch-n-Bitch session here in SLC. I love to knit and I liked how the group was so creative and using new designs. I left after an hour. The crassness and filth coming out of their mouths about life and especially President Bush was astounding.

"But feminism is above all else insanely narcissistic and hermetically sealed off from reality. The truth doesn't matter. The fact that the university chaplains are male is irrelevant. Feminists such as Tumminio and Robert insist that they must see the female image everywhere, and if they don't, they find solace in something far more satisfying: perpetual injury and rage. Actual equality and access to every social institution count for nothing; one lousy picture, however accurate, triggers an eruption of grievance."

Ha!

Replace "feminism" with "liberalism".

Oh yes, all over the US. Knitting is extremely popular, too bad the feminists have infiltrated most of the knitting groups.

Utah Girl, I understand what you mean. I refuse to go to any group called stitch and b#tch, just because.

It would be fun to have a knitting circle to hang with, but some people's ideas of appropriate behavior are just not right.

We have to tell the world that not all knitters are leftist moonbats.
