Racism and the Anti-Barack Obama Attacks From Camp Clinton : Rachel’s Tavern
“I saw this posted over at Mirror on America, and I have to agree. We should not be so naive as to think that people in the Clinton campaign are not directing their surrogates to play on racist and Islamophobic stereotypes of Barack Obama.”

cross-border bullying at AngryBrownButch
U.S. Border Patrol agents on the Mexico-U.S. border are apparently the frequent targets of rocks, bricks, and bottles hurled over the reprehensible walls and fences on the border. Their response? Firing tear gas and pepper spray canisters, which are wide

Acephalous: Liberal Fascism: Two Words Next to Each Other
I recognize I criticized Sadly, No! rather harshly not but three days ago, so it may seem strange for me to trumpet this, but they’ve been putting yeoman’s screws to Jonah Goldberg’s insufferably stupid Liberal Fascism: The Secret History of the American

Thanks for the love, Kev–always an honour. Sorry I haven’t been very active returning it lately. Have been busy dealing with the 2007 Canadian Blog award bullshit.
Short explanation: the organizers refuse to establish a Best Feminist Blog category because a group of vicious anti-feminists made a stink. So, they lumped the feminists into the LGBT category and created an “activist” category.
Anything but use the word “feminist.” Because, and I quote my purported progressive “ally”, “Best Feminist Blog†cannot be done, as it is unacceptable to some. They are teaching us a lesson for being bullies, you see.
So again, my thanks for the love, but right now, I’m not feeling it. I’m fucking pissed. I should know better than to expect anything different from white liberal men blinded by privilege (drowning in privilege–we “held a gun to their heads” with our “silly” boycott, you see.)
Have a happy holiday season, bro.
Sincerely, much love.
Matt – Sorry your comment went into moderation. I have it set so that any comments with three or more links go into the queue.
Dude, that is serious bullshit. I mean really? It is 2007, right? I don’t even try to pretend that folks are as enlightened as they make themselves out to be, but I still find myself shocked every time I see the “man-hating feminazis” meme still in play. I’ve never met a feminist that hates men. Every feminist I’ve met hates misogynists. As Scott coincidentally points out in another post I’ve linked to above, there’s some serious fallacy of the undistributed middle going on in these peoples thinking.
Keep up the good fight, my friend.
Yeah. I wasn’t surprised. This week certainly has been educational. And it’s only beginning. Some big name Canuck bloggers are pissed.
And no worries about the moderation. I sometimes go into my own spam queue.
And I’ll keep fighting, oh hell yes.
Thanks for the link love, mano.
It is sad too see all this happening as we get closer to Christmas. I could have listed so much more on the amount of Ignorance that is going on, I was afraid I would have gone over board.
Feliz Navidad
