Lefties have been swarming on Sarah Huckabee Sanders. The most famous comment, which you have probably heard, was a Daily Beast writer calling her “Butch queen first time in drags at ball” – but there have been many others. And no mainstream voices have yet objected.
It reminds me of 2016 when Azealia Banks gave a detailed call for Sarah Palin to be gang-raped – and left-leaning Twitter did nothing to Banks, despite her clear violation of Twitter’s policy against inciting violence on others.
All of this highlights how the Left is more-than-guilty of what it accuses others of. Lefties are hypersensitive to racism, homophobia, transphobia, sexism, etc. because too many of them are racist, homophobic, transphobic, sexist, etc. Not all (I know some who aren’t); but many. They know it in themselves. Knowing it in themselves, they assume that others (righties) must be even worse.
Sanders can handle slander, obviously. I still think the WH needs to move the press room across the street.
When the Office of the W.H. Architect and the Secret Service start the pending major renovations to the West Wing, instead of relocating the WH Press Corp(se) to temporary-quarters in the adjacent Eisenhower Bldg. they should relocate the Press Corp(se) cubicles and the “temporary” Briefing Room to “nicer accommodations” on the north-side of Pennsyvania Ave. the “New Executive Office Building” on 17th Street, ….and in a totally-inadvertent oversight leave them there permanently. All in the name of “greater transparency” of course to accommodate an ever-expended W.H. Press Pool.

Someone needs to do a parody of R-E-S-P-E-C-T or D-I-V-O-R-C-E and give it the name H-Y-P-O-C-R-I-T-E.
Most lefties are what used to be known as “a nasty piece of work”.
I think they need to move the press room adjacent to a sewage facility. It’s hard to separate a lot of what appears in the media from the goo swirling in the tanks. And the media would be closer to its treasured “unnamed sources”.
I’m a leftie and I don’t agree with this name-calling, nor find it funny, productive, or useful, for the record. It’s uncalled for and doesn’t do the left any favours.
@ CrayCrayPatriot: I’m glad you agree that this is uncalled for. This isn’t a good look for anybody, conservative or liberal.
It’s a conclusion that I’ve defended before and am prepared to defend again.
If it’s true – if the conclusion can be supported by good evidence – then it isn’t name-calling; just descriptive.
A problem arises when the conclusion (or name or adjective) isn’t true / can’t be supported by good evidence. Or if it’s applied too broadly; but in this case, I disavowed applying it to all lefties.
What I found interesting in your comment, CCP, was your statement “I’m a leftie”. It’s a statement I haven’t seen you make before; usually, I see you doing some variant of I-supported-Hillary-but-I’m-a-centrist-and-disavow-being-an-outright-leftie.
And P.S. – Way to condemn what your fellow lefties have done to Sarah Huckabee Sanders, CCP. /eyeroll
People on GP have been calling me a leftie for years. Obviously, you all know me Better than myself. So, I just roll with it.
As far as the eye roll, I have no idea what youre talking about. I’m not into the name calling, especially when it comes to making fun of people’s appearance in a peofessional context. That’s just me.
To be fair, you could just be a garden variety cuckservative. It’s often impossible to tell the difference. Like Althouse commenter Chuck, who never misses an opportunity to bash Trump, his supporters, and anyone to the right of Genghis Khan, all while steadfastly proclaiming himself to be a “lifelong Republican”.
Lol, I don’t think I’ve ever been confused for a conservative. And especially not here! But, I admit, I do empathethise with some conservative issues (like finding paths to austerity).
Perhaps you are becoming a “gasp” libertarian. What will the neighbors think?
Lefties, aka batmerde homosexuals and bisexuals, sometimes aided and abetted by libertarians on the right. Less than 2% of the population has failed at attempting to attribute their sociopathic behavior to the majority normal heterosexual population with the revision of the ALIMPC in 1955 based on the fraudulent research of Alfred Kinsey. The Buzzfeed columonist is nothing less than another misogynist homosexual/bisexual male.
