A barrage of quotations has flooded the web exposing the left’s gross hypocrisy after their outrage over Limbaugh’s “slut” remarks. The Daily Beast ran this piece by Kirsten Powers,
Did you know there is a war on women?
Yes, it’s true. Chris Matthews, Keith Olbermann, Bill Maher, Matt Taibbi, and Ed Schultz have been waging it for years with their misogynist outbursts. There have been boycotts by people on the left who are outraged that these guys still have jobs. Oh, wait. Sorry, that never happened. . . .
But if Limbaugh’s actions demand a boycott—and they do—then what about the army of swine on the left?
Powers backs it up impressively:
Ed Schultz said on his radio show that Sarah Palin set off a “bimbo alert.” He called Laura Ingraham a “right-wing slut.” . . .
Keith Olbermann has said that conservative commentator S.E. Cupp should have been aborted by her parents, apparently because he finds her having opinions offensive. He called Michelle Malkin a “mashed-up bag of meat with lipstick.” He found it newsworthy to discuss Carrie Prejean’s breasts on his MSNBC show. His solution for dealing with Hillary Clinton, who he thought should drop out of the presidential race, was to find “somebody who can take her into a room and only he comes out.”
Left-wing darling Matt Taibbi wrote on his blog in 2009, “When I read [Malkin’s] stuff, I imagine her narrating her text, book-on-tape style, with a big, hairy set of balls in her mouth.” In a Rolling Stone article about Secretary of State Clinton, he referred to her “flabby arms.” When feminist writer Erica Jong criticized him for it, he responded by referring to Jong as an “800-year old sex novelist.”
Taibbi also called Michele Bachmann “batshit crazy.”
Powers continues to reveal how leftist Chris Matthews attacked Hillary Clinton, calling her variously “she-devil,” “Nurse Ratched,” “Madame Defarge,” “witchy,” “anti-male,” and “uppity.” He even “once claimed she won her Senate seat only because her ‘husband messed around.‘” Further,
Matthews has wondered aloud whether Sarah Palin is even “capable of thinking” and has called Bachmann a “balloon head” and said she was “lucky we still don’t have literacy tests out there.”
Joining these liberal mouths was Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., who has called Sen. James Inhofe (R-Ok.) a “prostitute” and a “call girl.
And it gets much worse.
“Tea-bagging”
Barack Obama himself is reported to have indulged in the spate of not-so-veiled “tea-bagging” jokes in the wake of the TEA parties. The left had quite a round of fun with such references, as “tea bagging” is a slang term for oral sex involving a man’s testicles (it took conservatives a while to catch on to what was apparently a well-known term among liberals). American Thinker notes,
In Newsweek columnist Jonathan Alter’s “The Promise: President Obama, Year One,” to be released May 18, according to The Washington Post , the President is quoted as saying that Republican opposition to the stimulus “helped create the tea-baggers and empowered that whole wing of the Republican Party.”
A post from 2009 preserves Anderson Cooper and a guest on his show playing this game:
After CNN’s senior political analyst David Gergen remarked that Republicans were “searching for their voice” after two electoral losses, Cooper quipped, “It’s hard to talk when you’re tea-bagging.”
MSNBC had a field day with this phrase which erased any doubts of coincidence. One report (video below) described TEA party festivities as “tea bagging,” using the phrases “going nuts,” “whipped out,” “full-throated,” “give President Obama strong tongue lashing,” and “lick government spending,” “spontaneous uprising,” and more.
(Wow, those Ivy League courses in English Composition really paid off!)
The same MSNBC report called Sen. David Vitter openly a “Washington prostitute,” and added that although he supports “tea bagging” he is “publicly tight-lipped.” The report ended by playing off Dick Armey’s name, saying that widespread tea-bagging was going to require a “Dick Armey.”
And if there should have been outrage in the liberal media, it was missed because they were too busy dishing out the abuse to notice. So why do we care what they are saying about Limbaugh, or anyone else, now?
