Dumb fucking -

The internationalists were the people SCREAMING to do something about Hitler before it was too late, you prissy, sanctimonious bitch. Who the fuck do you think was calling for isolation and procrastination? The same stupid right-wing shits you’re currently defending – the people who thought since Hitler was anti-communist and allowed Wall Street to do business in Germany, he couldn’t be all that bad. Which, come to think of it, isn’t all that different from how Newt Gingrich and his posse spent the entire 1990s saying “Okay, no more commies, no more American presence abroad.”

And how the fuck does a woman who criticizes government intervention and the nanny state get the idea that Ralph Nader would be a contribution to the system?

Sadly, no. Alcibiades was born 450 BC, and the Symposium recounts the incident in Symposium took place after the Battle of Delium in 424 BC–Al was 26 years old.

“She’s the world’s most famous concern troll!

Or wait…do you have to understand the issues to be a concern troll?”

Camille is too self-absorbed to be a concern-troll. No doubt the result of spending too many hours enthralled at the sight of her own vagina in a hand-mirror.

Yes, we too can sleep our way to the top–or let everyone believe that we did!

If Camille thinks women need to be “empowered” by people like Condoleezza Rice, her views on feminism are about as archaic and quaint as the Republicans’ views on the Geneva convention.

Let’s just fuck, and stay out of the Republican’s way.

I once wrote David Talbot about that, and he actually responded. Lamely, but at least he wrote back. Don’t forgot Salon also wanted your money so they could give it to such intellectual luminaries as Norah Vincent, and Andrew Sullivan.

Does anyone even give attention to Paglia anymore? Paglia used to claim that she admired gay men and enjoyed gay male porn, but she’s also claimed that more men are becoming gay because women have given up on being “glamorous”. She also seems to take delight in violence agains gay men, and made some really disgusting remarks about Mathew Sheppard, famously beaten to death a few years ago.

Salon’s battin’ 1.000. First they gave David Horowitz a platform, and they continue to waste electrons on Paglia–and they wonder why people aren’t subscribing.

“Liberal secularism has become bourgeois and materialistic.”
Um, NO.
“Liberal secularism” started out “bourgeois and materialistic,” and that that was the entire fucking point. “Liberal secularism” was a political reaction by a new middle class, one whose economic well-being depended on trade in goods and ideas, to the disruptive economic effects of religious reaction – e.g. suppression of new scientific ideas, institutionalized religious persecution leading to civil war, etc. Criticizing “Liberal secularism” for becoming “bourgeois and materialistic” is like criticizing plants for having become too green and photosynthetic.

This kind of glaring, obvious factual error runs through everything she says. She’s trying to make up for a lack of command of the basic material with an expansive vocabulary. It’s called bullshit.

(And that’s without getting into the completely fucking boneheaded stupid interpretation of politics she’s peddling.)
