Well Doug, exchanging misogyny for homophobia doesn’t really seem like a step forward, does it?

Thanks, Doug.

Because you were decent enough to step up and apologize, I shall refrain from posting something aridly cynical about liberal men and liberal lies which is originally what I came down to the end of this thread to do.

Sorry, my intention was not the wholesale disdain of women everywhere. (I only insult people retail, men or women.) Anyway, “vagina” might have been a little on the unnecessary side — how about “Has someone checked D-Hor for anal warts?”

I feel kind of bad for Alan Colmes. I mean, think of the job description:

Must be willing to argue weakly for a reasonable position in the face of Sean Hannity’s blusterand take irrational strawman “liberal” position on certain issues for Sean Hannity to demolish. Must look like that one TA who was always hitting on the chicks in class instead of explaining fucking Proust. Timid, quavery demeanor a plus.”

Now I’m driving myself crazy trying to think what a big liberal lie would even be.

Feh. That’s easy – “All men are created equal.”

When viewing David Horowitz it is always worth remembering the old Cheech & Chung routine with the druggie and the Jesus freak. The freak tells the druggie “I used to be all fucked up on drugs, now I’m all fucked up on the lord.” Horowitz’s move from far left wingnut to far rightwingnut gave most of us watching whiplash. He needs to feel persecuted.

Beware the wrath of Ann Bartow! The use of the term "vagina" in a non-feminist context is objectively pro-terrorist!

Besides, everyone (and BÃ©rubÃ©, too) knows that what D-Ho has is a mangina!

This idea has me thinking…

Now I’m driving myself crazy trying to think what a big liberal lie would even be.

Then again, I suppose you need to be effective to affect anything and subsequently lie about the outcome or the reasons. Still, it seems an interesting idea to me.

The UN turning out to be a super cunning evil tyrannical organization?

Hollywood actually admitting it’s plans to secretly spread a brainwashing homosexual agenda?

Alan Colmes, a.k.a. Hannity’s gimp? That’s so sad.

Seriously, now Alan Colmes is some kind of ruthless Democratic political operative? Except when he’s picking up Hannity’s dry cleaning.

If this were preschool, Mr. Horowitz would be sitting in ‘time out’ for stomping his foot and whining, “He said mean things about me!” Alas, we are not so advanced.

Non-gender specific drama person. Drama Womyn. Rosie O’Donnell.

oh and by the way, i read horowitz’s write-up of my professor in his book, aptly titled “the professors”…oddly, it had nothing to do with anything my prof says in the classroom. it was just a couple quotes taken out of context from a panel after 9/11. there was no indication that d-ho had contacted anyone who had any actual knowledge of anything that has ever been uttered by my professor in front of his students . it certainly doesn’t do much to help his case that us poor widdle students are being indoctrinated by stalinists.

d-ho: I knew in advance that I didn’t really have to confront his arguments, since except for his followers he is a discredited figure. That freed me to focus on my message.

huh. and the point of agreeing to the “debate” was what, exactly? horowitz is such an ass clown.

Although it does leave one to wonder what would be a meaningful yet non-sexist/gender-neutral term for “drama queen.”

Drama monarch.

I love the term “leftwing operatives.” It sounds so delightfully covert and nasty.
