Why I had to quit the John Edwards campaign

During my brief tenure as blogmaster for a Democratic presidential contender, I experienced the right-wing smear machine firsthand

    Oh yeah. right.

    "One thing I vow here and now–you motherfuckers who want to ban birth control will never sleep. I will fuck without making children day in and out and you will know it and you won’t be able to stop it. Toss and turn, you mean, jealous motherfuckers. I’m not going to be “punished” with babies. Which makes all your efforts a failure. Some non-procreating women escaped. So give up now. You’ll never catch all of us. Give up now." - Marcotte

    Hmm, could this be the cause of the references to oral sex (as it doesn't make children, something she apparently wants to avoid)? Nope, must be the mysogeny of the right and their hatred of women in power, much less feminist women in power.

    "I’m not an idiot. I’m a twat. Get it straight. I’m a hot, moist, inviting twat. Warm, wet, inviting. But not to you or your friends. Even if I were single, these nubile thighs do not wrap around the hips of Republicans. You can fuck yourselves or the dry twats of the self-hating misogynists who will allow you tiny penis to penetrate them. Have fun! Um, the wounds you get from rubbing you un-lubricated dick repeatedly into your heartless, soulless woman–iodine is your best friend, my be-scarred friend." - Marcotte, quoted from Pandagon (response to a comment from above article)

    Yup, Salon pegged it. She's just a poor little girl being victimized. She's never said anything evil about anyone, why would anyone pick on her.

    Must be because she's a girl, and a feminist, as she's never posted anything inappropriate. How could anyone say mean things to her. You Republicans are just *sob* meanies.

    Seriously, did anyone believe that? Anyone?

    Oh, the above posts were from finding out Bush could appoint two SCOTUS Justices, and therefore all birth control would be banned once Chief Justice Roberts was sworn in.

    At least she's as accurate as she is polite. I mean I fondly recall the days before Condoms, spermicide, and the Pill were outlawed.

    Nope, she's balanced, accurate, fair and polite. Not a mean word to say to the fucking godbags. I can't see why anyone would dislike her.
