Specifically, the White bigots at the racist hack run DailyKos hate this woman:
Yes, Rachel Marsden has run afoul of the brown shirts at DailyKampf who started a campaign to get her fired from her job at The Toronto Sun for the outrageous crime of offending a bi-polar anti-American drama queen she never met before.
He, along with some others, disagreed with an opinion piece she wrote defending water boarding which concluded with the some thought provoking humor which I found quite witty:
When asked about it during a recent CNN appearance, I suggested that “one man’s torture is another’s CIA-sponsored swim lesson.” In case anyone thought I was being facetious — I wasn’t.
I suppose that those who object to terror suspects getting water up the nose would say that, as a young competitive swimmer, I was also tortured. It was called “hypoxic training” — swimming underwater and holding our breath until we passed out. Our coaches didn’t call it torture, just an exercise in “mental toughness.” So think of it this way — terror suspects are getting some free mental toughness training courtesy of the U.S. government.
Here’s another idea to make the concept more palatable to objectors: Call the place where waterboarding is performed “The CIA Centre For Aquatic Excellence,” give all participants an “I survived training camp” T-shirt with the centre’s logo on it, and treat them to a couple of carbo-loading pancake breakfasts. It worked for us.
She’s right. When I was a kid getting forced under water in a pool until you almost drowned by the school bully was considered horseplay. Yet the basement dwelling ne’er-do-wells of DailyKos think it’s atrocious torture to have water poured on your face through a washcloth, an activity which sounds suspiciously like the skin treatments at some upscale spas.
Rather than argue the point with her like rational people, they reacted like the coven of miscreants they are, and stopped worshiping at the altar of Nazism and calling Black men monkeys just long enough to hatch a plot wherein the mostly American Kossacks would call the Sun’s editor and complain, making it look like Marsden caused an outrage among the readership.
And to the Sun’s shame it worked. Now Marsden it out of a job and the “reality based” community, full of “tolerant” people, are celebrating. The mostly White men at DailyKos are laughing about getting a strong willed, smart and opinionated woman fired from her job.
Where’s Amanda Marcotte?
She doesn’t dare speak out on this because she knows the same, or worse, would happen to her. That’s why people like her are always happy to play toady to a man who runs a site so anti-Semitic that Jewish members leave in anger. That’s why Marcotte and other lefty “feminists” will never speak out about the underhanded, misogynist treatment of this woman by men whose animosity was born as soon as they saw a picture like the one above (Marsden was at one time an aspiring model) and realized that not only was she “out of their league,” but that as her writing proves, she was beyond them intellectually.
This was the most craven and overt kind of misogyny. This was the hatred of a woman for being attractive, thoughtful, conservative and competent. All things Kossacks despise in women. They like their women eagerly nodding their heads in agreement to whatever political slogan they’ve copied down from a bumper sticker, only speaking when shrilly lecturing Republicans on how evil they are. Or advocating for the release of violent Marxists who belong in prison. Or cheering on the suicide of one of their supposed friends.
So maybe Blacks and Jews will get a bit of a reprieve from the bombardment of racism that is DailyKos while they dwell in in their misogyny for a few days. And the real life consequences of this sinister plot by these men, one admittedly unstable, who decided to “get that bitch” as they so crudely put it, will never be discussed. These men gang raped Rachel Mardsen’s career for the fun of it, and are celebrating what they suppose is that career’s untimely death.
But I suspect Mardsen won’t die so easily. Show your support by swinging by her site and be sure to visit her blog Rachel Marsden’s Daily Drive-By. If you feel like supporting her and sticking it to the Kossacks, check this out.
