slingshotwilly and Mr. middle class citizen:
Have either of you read the explicit sexual threats received by Marcotte and McEwan? This is the right wing's excrement, and they have smeared themselves in it. It is the excrement of woman-hating, cowardice, and bullying. As for schoolyard bullies, both of you write anonymously and have NOTHING of substance to say. All you do is issue blanket charges against "liberals" and act shocked by Marcotte's language, which I have no doubt both of you use yourself in private.
Note too, that there is a difference between using language that offends some people, and using language that offends some people to MAKE EXPLICIT THREATS AIMED AT INTIMIDATING POLITICAL OPPONENTS FROM SPEAKING OUT. The latter is called "terrorism."
There is some very sick stuff going on the minds of the likes of you re: fantasies of rape and power. Honorable men, and not just feminists (who I largely agree with), are sickened by this kind of bilge. But wingnut land is not populated by honorable men.
