Ex-Edwards Blogger Back to Old Tricks: Vulgar Insults for Malkin, Coulter

Liberated by her firing-qua-resignation, ex-John Edwards blogger Amanda Marcotte is back to what she does best: using vulgarity to insult her political opponents. On a whim I thought I'd check in at Marcotte's site, Pandagon, and wasn't surprised to find her slurring Michelle Malkin, with shots at Ann Coulter and the two leading conservative women's organizations thrown in for good measure.

Marcotte decided to respond to an inquiry from a poster she labelled a troll who had written: "does it bother you that one of the major architects of your demise was herself a strong woman, Michelle Malkin?"

That set Marcotte off on this tirade that included these gems of logic and literary flair [editing mine; unexpurgated vulgarity in the original]:

• "I do want to address this false premise that someone like Malkin is a 'strong woman' Women who kow-tow to male dominance by aggressively attacking women who actually do rebel against oppression can expect to have sexist men blow this particular 'strong woman' smoke up their --- all the time. It means nothing. To the degree that these men mean it, they are mistaking a------ry for strength."
• "There is nothing strong about the ladies of Concerned Women of America or Independent Women's Forum or a------ like Ann Coulter or Michelle Malkin. There is nothing strong about selling other women down the river so that sexist men will pat you on the head and say, 'What a gooooood woman you are. Now go attack another uppity b---- and maybe this time I’ll give you a cookie.'”
• "One thing I’ve learned that Ana Marie [Cox, ex-Wonkette] apparently has not is that if you smile at sexist pigs and play their games, they may be nicer to your face, but they’re still going to call you a c--- behind your back."
• "And that is the golden rule to remember when the Oink Patrol dangles money and praise in front of your face, or will even call you strong, so long as you agree to suck up your dignity and promote sexism—they still think you’re a c---. The commenter who called Michelle Malkin 'strong' would flip around and call her a c--- so fast it would make your head spin, if she ever showed a sign of a real backbone and stood up for something real for once in her life. So the real question is, 'By the way, does it bother you that one of the major architects of your demise was herself a sniveling sell-out, Michelle Malkin?' And really, I think that answers itself."

It's enough to make you wish that Edwards had kept Marcotte on. Would have made the campaign so much more entertaining.

Like when NOW feminazis stood shoulder to shoulder with President Clinton a serial rapist and defended him on charges of sexual harassment (the first grope is free) because he supports abortion and against an underling who reported his unwanted sexual advances in the workplace?

"Who sub's for O'Reilly now, b*tch?! Oh, not you. That's right. That's what I thought."

[technomage]

Typical liberal female.

She is just a bitter, nasty, mean broad. Setting a great example for the children of the country, isn't she?

[lilylangtree]

She's one bitter feminazi.

My Goodness....Lesbians sure are an angry lot, aren't they?

[KarlInOhio]

So you're a strong woman if you are Edward's political courtesan, but if you don't tow the leftist line you're kow-towing to male dominance? Yeah, if that's what you have to tell yourself to try to maintain some self respect, just keep on saying it. Just don't say it loudly enough for St. Ann of the Pistol to hear it.

[JacksonCalhoun]

You're right, I wish JohnBoy had kept them on. These deluded broads (degrading term intentional) think the only way to be a strong woman is to hate men, hate conservatives, hate motherhood (as her 'Clown Car' crack about the 16-kid family shows), and hate all things normal

[windsorknot]

The woman possesses a marvelous vocabulary, and presents such intellectually stimulating arguments.

[Txsleuth]

Mark...as long as you and others continue to TIE her to his campaign...by saying she WAS hired by him....it should continue to reflect badly on him...

PLUS, some of the lefty groups are mad at him for kowtowing himself to the backlash he got from the "right".

LOL...she is a real classy person, isn't she? /s

Just a reminder:

[oldenuff2no]

Every time she opens her mouth untreated human waste flow out. Her brain will be empty soon.
SFB!!!!!

[avacado]

That is one bitter female! And Michelle Malkin is for the overthrow of the brutal and woman oppressive regimes of the Taliban and Hussein. This girl is not. She is a hypocrite to the fullest extent!

[JoeSixPack1]

After reading all the above I clearly see that she didn't say anything, tell anybody anything, specify anything, reference anything. She tried for an insult but it was way lame and vague.

She reads like a Randy Rhoades wannabe with a matchbox brain following a dream that she hasn't quite figured out yet.

Looks like little Miss Frigid has gotten her boxers in a bunch.

[Puppage]

She even looks like a sweetheart doesn't she? /s

Face like a ripped boot.
