Hey Jane: Are You Saying It’s Okay To Be Racist/Sexist In Private..Just Don’t Air It In Public?
Jane Hamsher on January 10, 2008:
If either campaign thinks that winning the nomination is worth tearing the party apart by igniting America’s sexist and racist strains to their own benefit, it’s stupid and shortsighted. Just because the Republicans will go there in the general is not a reason to start now.
See the following posts for a good chuckle on Jane’s previous work:
And The Ignorant Statement Of The Day Goes To: Jane Hamsher
LEAVE IT TO A LIBERAL TO BE RACIST AND THEN BLAME A REPUBLICAN
Liberals: NOT AFRAID TO BE RACIST AND HOMOPHOBIC
But hey, good Republicans like Hudson never met a racial stereotype they didn’t like. What’s next? Watermelon jokes? A GOP minstrel show? A cross-burning on the steps of the House of Representatives?
Hamsher’s claim that she “answers to nobody,” he told her to pull the blackface Photoshop yesterday–and she dutifully complied.
Hamsher herself went ballistic last fall when first lady Laura Bush made a reference to comedian Eddie Cantor, who gained a following with his blackface routine.
“Does the first lady not know who Eddie Cantor was?” Hamsher wrote. “Or does she actually think it’s appropriate to invoke a comedian famous for appearing in blackface when talking about minority students, and then crack wise about their erstwhile future as criminals?”
Racist FDL Demands Apology For “sexist undertones”?
Ask Jane Why Kate O’Beirne is a Dangerous Bitch, and then tell me why she is due an apology.
Hamsher has a history of unhinged lunacy. She is credited with popularizing the label “Rape Gurney Joe” to attack Joe Lieberman. Prof. Ann Althouse rightly criticized the comment saying, “The label “Rape Gurney Joe” is so ugly that ordinary citizens will feel quite put off”. Hamsher responded by calling Althouse an “idiot” and depicted her as a baboon. Hamsher has also called NRO’s Kate O’Bierne, “Sandpaper Snatch” and said, “The bitch is dead meat.”, and this was right before her participation on a Washington Post panel discussion about online civility.

What a babbling idiot Hamsher is! She cites examples of racially-based discord in the Democrite political camps, then somehow twists and convolutes her way to the conclusion that Republicans are racists!
See what I mean about Liberalism being a form of mental illness? Here you have a classic example!

Liberals only want the constitution to apply to them so they can have armed bodyguards 24/7 and be able to say what they want while preventing us conservatives from using the constitution LIBERALS ARE HYPOTCRITS
