Ex-Edwards Blogger Back to Old Tricks: Vulgar Insults for Malkin, Coulter

Photo of Mark Finkelstein.

Liberated by her firing-qua-resignation, ex-John Edwards blogger Amanda Marcotte has reverted to form: using vulgarity to insult her political opponents. On a whim I thought I'd check in at Marcotte's site, Pandagon, and wasn't surprised to find her slurring Michelle Malkin, with shots at Ann Coulter and the two leading conservative women's organizations thrown in for good measure.

Marcotte decided to respond to an inquiry from a poster she labelled a troll who had written: "does it bother you that one of the major architects of your demise was herself a strong woman, Michelle Malkin?"

That set Marcotte off on this tirade that included these gems of logic and literary flair [editing mine; unexpurgated vulgarity in the original]:
  • "I do want to address this false premise that someone like Malkin is a 'strong woman' Women who kow-tow to male dominance by aggressively attacking women who actually do rebel against oppression can expect to have sexist men blow this particular 'strong woman' smoke up their --- all the time. It means nothing. To the degree that these men mean it, they are mistaking a------ry for strength."
  • Story Continues Below Ad ↓
  • "There is nothing strong about the ladies of Concerned Women of America or Independent Women's Forum or a------ like Ann Coulter or Michelle Malkin. There is nothing strong about selling other women down the river so that sexist men will pat you on the head and say, 'What a gooooood woman you are. Now go attack another uppity b---- and maybe this time I’ll give you a cookie.'”
  • "One thing I’ve learned that Ana Marie [Cox, ex-Wonkette] apparently has not is that if you smile at sexist pigs and play their games, they may be nicer to your face, but they’re still going to call you a c--- behind your back."
  • "And that is the golden rule to remember when the Oink Patrol dangles money and praise in front of your face, or will even call you strong, so long as you agree to suck up your dignity and promote sexism—they still think you’re a c---. The commenter who called Michelle Malkin 'strong' would flip around and call her a c--- so fast it would make your head spin, if she ever showed a sign of a real backbone and stood up for something real for once in her life. So the real question is, 'By the way, does it bother you that one of the major architects of your demise was herself a sniveling sell-out, Michelle Malkin?' And really, I think that answers itself."
It's enough to make you wish that Edwards had kept Marcotte on. Would have made the campaign so much more entertaining.

Must-see-Hot Air TV: Funny and -- dare I say -- strong Michelle Malkin inteprets Marcotte's own words here.

Update 02-21-07: One of Marcotte's faithful followers, FerrarimanF355, has posted a comment on her thread over at Pandagon, alerting Amanda to this column, and calling on her to set the record straight about my assertion that she uses vulgarity to describe opponents. Only one problem. In describing NewsBusters, FerrarimanF355 uses -- you guessed it -- a vulgarity. Vroom, vroom!

This is almost as good as the Debra Frisch episode from last year. It is always good to see a liberal, when faced with reality, meltdown.

..

this woman seems very angry and pent up inside. I think I know what she's really frustrated about and what she needs to lighten up. Since this is a PG rated site, I won't go into detail about what it is that she really needs and, based on that headshot, I am NOT volunteering to do it myself! :-D

The pathetic, misogynistic sexual-projection garbage that almost every poster on this thread has spouted is exactly why modern feminism is still necessary. Way to objectify women everywhere.

You all realize, of course,

You all realize, of course, that responding to this person in this way is no better than what she is doing? People can differ on her appearence (I happen to think she's rather attractive, and I like her haircut), but what is important is the substance of her words.

Liberals attack people with slurs on their appearence, sexual identity, etc. Conservatives should be above that.

Exactly saurus. We have re

Exactly saurus. We have references to strap-ons, penis envy, and "All she needs is a good f--k," in the first ten posts. Not to mention general comments on her appearance. Could you guys make your pent-up sexual issues any more obvious? It has nothing to do with anything and only demonstrates the kind of antiquated woman-hating mindset that real feminism tries to counteract.

Hey Rupert...

Hey Rupert,  So you will hammer us for firing BACK at her?  Gimmie a break...  You Feminazis always have the gender card ready to be used at any moment, just like the racial reverand whores...   Cram it.

Sure, I watch the MSM...     Through a pair of crosshairs.

SSS, I think she makes an interesting (not necessarily correct) point in a really innappropriate way. And yes, I see no problem "hammering" people who are basically using feminist views they happen to disagree with to fantasize about her sexual proclivities. It's a frightening, long-standing trend: men find something a woman says disagreeable and turn it into an excuse to regard her as a sexualized object. Why not offer a point-by-point rebuttal to her comments instead of making locker room jokes about how she must be a lesbian who doesn't get laid? It only demonstrates your own insecurity.

Hey Dr. Phill er Rupert

Here we go again...  Some fool walks in here and starts analyzing my feelings...   Look bud, I work at a bench fixing things all day.  So when I come in here to smack a feminazi around and get back to work, I don't need some psychiatrist running around telling me about my supposed insecurity..  Talk about big headed.  Don't you have some child molesters to defend?  Get lost.   Lets not forget who started bashing who.  This feminazi gets everything she deserves.  I am tired of people like her distracting this country with trivial, if not manufactured "issues".  NEXT

Sure, I watch the MSM...     Through a pair of crosshairs.

Well said. This is what someone like her understands. This name calling is what probably gets her goat. Sometimes you have to stoop to their level. To everyone who wants to debate her.....good luck!

Personally I think Marcotte

Personally I think Marcotte is just a jerk & a whiner, who will write the most scurrilous and nasty crap about her opponents but gets livid if anybody dares turn the vitriol on her. I have no sexual feelings about her. If I want to unleash those pent up sexual feelings, well, the internet is a great window to porn of all forms and to all imaginable kinks.  Frankly, some of Marcotte's blogging I've read is rather vulgar sexually.  What does say about her? 

I make no reference to th

I make no reference to the sexual innuendo on NB referring to this woman, and I personally am FAR from a feminazi or femme apologist. I think the posts I've read attributed to her are repulsive.

My only point is that by posting comments like some here, we are stooping to her level - the lowest common denominator. We should be above this, if indeed we claim to be better than dimocrats.

Sorry guys, but she's right

Actually for those who assumed I'm so desperate that I really do dream of Meanie with the light brown sneer, I'm thinking Mandy reminds me of the hatchet-faced mother of Uncle Joe Stalin.

I already posted on her "blog" pointing out that unlike Ms Malkin, Mandy's the sort of really "strong" woman who kow-tows to Bill Clinton. That well known upholder of womens's rights... to be cigared, and allegedly raped a la Juanita Broaddrick.

Though I suspect this is one woman the likes of Marcotte thinks was "asking for it".

Anyone else see the irony of her calling men "sexist pigs", but has no problem being so promiscuous with them, just to show the "Godbags" that she can have as much sex as possible, just to stick her thumb in evangelicals eyes?

It would be quite an understa

It would be quite an understatement to say that Ms. Marcotte "has issues." 

She's obviously worships at the House of Uber-Feminists, but apparently mistakes vitriolic tirades for 'strength.'   A measure of one's strength is effectiveness, and I have yet to see any signs of Marcotte's; she appears to regurgitate rhetoric.  On the other hand, Malkin's appears to be quite effective in getting her message out, primarily through dogged research and the courage to write about her findings in the face of feminist backlash.

Malkin remains a prominent voice in the public forum; Marcotte returns to blogger oblivion.

I'd really like to meet her

I'd really like to meet her father. She is a very sad, angry little woman. I wonder what she's going to do when she looks back on her life when she's 70 or so and didn't accomplish anything but being angry all the time.

Does she really think she is that important? Something I learned in the Army is that you may love the Army, but the Army doesn't love you. Meaning it keeps trucking along and will continue long after you leave. Know your place in life and be important to those who you can influence most - your wife (or husband) and your children. Everything else wil fall into place.

Therein lies the key.  Neither should we.

I don't think anyone that angry can live until they are 70.  She'll look 70 when she's about 45.

This is a very sad person. 

This is a very sad person.  She seems so angry, sad and full of hate that I can't help but wonder what happened to her in her childhood.

Hello?  Miss Marcotte? Who

Hello?  Miss Marcotte? Who sells women up the river?  Who has helped create a more misognynistic, woman-objectifying culture than the one we used to live in that was supposedly so oppressive?  Who has enabled bad, no, EVIL behavior against women by powerful men (e.g.: Ted Kennedy, Bill Clinton, etc....)?  Who worships these rapist and/or murderers on their knees, even one who has famously claimed she would "earn her presidential knee pads" by pleasuring Bill Clinton if it would keep partial-birth abortion legal?   Why, it's that phony Women's Rights, Women's Lib Movement!  Men, and women, respect Ann Coulter, Michelle Malkin and other conservative women because of their intellect and abilities, not because of their sex, but because of who they are.  You are a pathetic, angry, f*d up loser.  As a Catholic Christian, your deviant and horribly offensive characterization of a sacred tenet of my faith last week showed me how much of a hater and low-life bigot you were, but your utter lack of insight into the truth about the Women's Rights Movement and where women are nowadays, not advanced but instead oppressed in new ways that are promoted and tolerated by the pretenders and profiteers of their agenda, just shows how much of a stupid kool-aid drinker you and your type are.   The breakdown of the family, marriage and the resultant povertization of single-parent women-lead families and the mainstreaming of porn,  are a few of the not-so-positive results of the "Women's Rights" movement on our society.  Hardly indefensible.  You get too much attention for your extreme and nasty point of view.

Exactly, Kathleen.  In several ways, Bill Clinton was remarkably disrespectful, even degrading, to women, especially powerless or vulnerable women.  Ditto his wife by participating wholeheartedly in the "nuts and sluts" attack on his girlfriends. 

Further to your point, do Gloria Steinem and her sisters believe that vulnerable women are exempt from feminist rights?  But how else do they justify their support and endorsement of Bill and Hillary Clinton?

I said on the last thread about this dreadful woman that she is in need of serious help. My mom use to tell me and my siblings that you could judge a person by the type of language they used, well she couldn't have been more correct. I believe we have given Marcotte way too much attention. It is time to move on people, nothing more to see here.

Here is her wikipedia entry

Here is her wikipedia entry. Fairly innocuous. But it just kinda "smells" leftist slant.

I will say though you should take a look at the discussion page behind the entry page.  Talk about the justification these liberals use for changing wording and such.  If I weren't lazy, I would do some research to see if they hold the same justification for rewording things in conservative folks' entries as they do liberals  (cf. Reagan with Carter, et al)

"...Women who kow-tow to

"...Women who kow-tow to male dominance...."

Face it Amanda, all you do is pontificate behind a keyboard and computer. Michelle is out there every day speaking her mind and stating her values to the MSM 95 percent of which, despise her every word. She bravely faces down left-wing crybabies and lunatics on campus and on the internet--- and manages to do it all without hint of profanity or religious bigotry. We've yet to see you make a coherent point without adding in plenty of verbal garbage.  Do you honestly think profanity and religious hatred actually help women?  And speaking of kow-towing to "male dominance"  Michele once told Chris Matthews (a man---we think)  where to go-- right on his television show. She also wasn't afraid to speak out disapprovingly of the GOP when the Foley scandal broke. She is a rebel in my book because she doesn't "kow-tow" to the orthodox liberal point of view as you do every day. As a writer, a speaker, a wonk, Michele stands head and shoulders over anything you have ever done or will ever do. Michele has become a conservative visionary in only a few years since she appeared on the political scene and her writings and opinoins are highly respected by men and women alike. You, on the other hand, can only get noticed by continually demeaning people of faith. How "liberal" of you Amanda!  So please, stay right there in your miserable forum and provide the Democrat party with lots of miserable dispatches and wretched opinons every day. The GOP can use the help. Oh, and thanks again for effectively eliminating John Edwards from the '08 Presidential race.

As to crying "fire" in a crowded room, that's absurd and you know it. Please give me some proof to back up your assertion or you're just full of baloney.

NB gloriously denigrates this woman for nothing, really,

I hardly think trashing the deeply held beliefs of close to 75% +/- of the people of this country was nothing. While as a libertarian I fully support her right to say whatever she wishes, but John Edwards showed very poor judgment in not only hiring this person but in defending her actions. This is a man who is running for president, so his judgment, or lack thereof, is a legitimate issue of debate.

As for your removed post, I'd be really careful if I were you, as trolls haven't been fairing to well around here lately. They seem to be disappearing on a fairly regular basis.

"This woman" denigrated millions in the lowest, most degrading way, including me.  She's got to be able to take it if she deals it.  It'll be very difficult for anyone here to come close to the low levels she went to when she felt free to spew from her trash-n-garbage mouth.  However, I do not condone mocking her in some of the ways certain posters have chosen to participate in here.  Men are always deciding how 'hot' women are, I have noticed, and I don't get that thinking, but I am not a man.  She's the one who said she'd 'f--k' as often as she'd like, so it really can't be that offensive to her to have men talk about whether or not they'd participate with her in an activity she says she likes to do.

If she was so flipping smart, why is it so hard for her to understand the reasons for her trouble? How about the fact that about 90% of people in this country believe in God, and are therefore, in at least some sense, religious. And would, by nature, be TOLERANT of other people's religion, and would cast a skeptical eye towards THOSE WHO DO NOT TOLERATE religion. Thus, an INTOLERANT person (although a "feminist", as if that means anything) would be a liability to a person running for president - especially for a person who needs all the votes he can get.
