Republicans get all icky about ... oh crap, just listen to the latest Michele Bachamann thing.

I put this below the fold because Sean Hannity is obscene.

Did she say "We believe in rational discord?" (at about 1:38)

While I'm being more political than usual, how about one more... I normally detest Sean Hannity. Basically, he's Rush Limbaugh without the flashes of cleverness or humor. However, this time, he's got it right on. I may be around three or four weeks behind the curve on this, but it's worth looking…

The first part is rooted in fact, though the culprits are not actually the entire liberal movement. Playboy published a feature on it's website that fantasized about "hate-fucking" conservative women they disliked. And since Politico reported it under the "Lighter Side of Politics" section, they must think rape is pretty funny, too. Playboy's trend of publishing rape jokes is documented here: http://feministlawprofessors.com/?p=11044. What's next, a list of African Americans they'd "love lynch"?

Yes. I heard "discord." But then for these folks discourse does tend to be discordant.

By all means, poke fun at mispronunciations and make cracks about Hannity, but the whole "hate-fuck" thing is incredibly demeaning and hurtful to the women targeted in the Playboy article, no matter what their political views are. Not to mention that it's just fucked up that some people still think that it's okay to think of women as pieces of meat for fucking.

Is rational discord a new term for "cognitive dissonance"?

Bridget: Right, I didn't even want to know what that was about .... YA stupid ass thing done by a stupid ass magazine. Sounds bad.
