Though I would probably disagree with Smitty in most political arguments, I believe that he brings up a good point.
The feminist argument is discredited when feminist organizations are silent when Letterman or Mayer use misogynist epithets, but then go ballistic on Rush Limbaugh. It looks like a double standard.
Debate ideas and debate philosophies; but using disparaging female-specific curse words makes no intellectual sense, and the political affiliations of the offenders should be irrelevant.
So, instead of Palin being a dumb c__t or some other female politician being a b___h, they should be referred to as the lying sacks of s__t scumbags that they actually are, regardless of their chromosomes being XX or XY.
