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.

...they are mistaking assholery for strength."

Don't they call what this girl is doing--projection?

[thulldud]

Setting a great example for the children of the country, isn't she?

Other people's children, that is. Ain't gonna have any of her own, I trow....

[Alouette]

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

Amanda Marcotte is not a lesbian. She is a c**guzzling boozehound.

To the degree that these men mean it, they are mistaking a------ry for strength."

I had to go to the source to discover what this epithet was. Suffice it to say, a new noun form of the crude description of the anal orifice.....

[Puppage]

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

Quite the command of the English language.

[xmission]

I guess she's trying to get a spot on "The View".

[digger48]

Yeah, I realized that after watching the video.

She hates men, just loves @#$&.

[Antoninus]

How can one but pity this poor creature? She drank the feminazi Drano and it dissolved her mind and soul in an acid bath of pure hatred.

Pray for her. She's going to be in therapy later (if she's not already). And given what therapists are like these days, she won't get any better.

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.

Marcotte's rant is so 80s. 20 years behind the times. Maybe that's why Edwards let her resign herself to the 80s.

[libbylu]

Like NOW throwing out Tammy Bruce cause she didn't two their line....

[governsleastgovernsbest]

Good point. I'm sure the Edwards folks continue to monitor her site and items like this, and cannot be at ALL happy to see her continue to spout off. You go, Amanda girl!

[Alouette]

just loves @#$&.

She doesn't like that either, but fakes the orgasms so men will think she's "empowered."

[beaversmom]

This girl is not.

Malkin and Coulter have more courage in their pinky nail than this girl has in her whole body. These types will take on Christians--never the Islamonuts.

[Grunthor]

To be fair, neither Coulter nor Malkin are exactly saintly in their choice of words describing their political opposites either.

But I'd be willing to bet that both are better looking than this lefty trash.

PS: Who cut her lips off??

[beaversmom]

What video--do tell?

[Eva]

I'm puzzelled about whether these angry women really believe what they are saying or if they are just lesbians. This woman really seems to hate men.

It's good to publicize the rantings of these irrational lefties because the public needs to know what the base of the Democrat party really thinks.

Check out the link at the end of the article. It's hilarious!

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

Like a real 'sweetheart' b*tch! She sure sounds angry. I wonder if her father beat her (if not he should have!)? This is how Hillary would sound if she was brave enough to actually say what she thought in public.
