Media Matters has been bragging about getting 30 or so companies to "drop" their sponsorship of Rush Limbaugh's radio show over his comments about Sandy "It's Pronounced Fluck!" Fluke and the MSM has been wetting itself with the prospect of hushing Rush forever. I've even sent some angry grams at a couple of the so-called boycotting companies since I had been a customer. Here, Rush says, "Not so fast."

Actually, I'm not sure which is worse, withdrawing sponsorship out of intimidation or pretending to withdraw sponsorship just to score brownie points with leftists who don't care about women, but do want to shut up an effective voice for conservatism during an election year.

So calling Michelle Malkin an "Aunt Tomasina" stops being, in their mind, bigotry towards both women and people of color, and starts being a perfectly okay thing to call someone. Just...argh. The amount of rampant anti-feminism that is not simply tolerated, but encouraged by liberals all over the place--even the supposedly feminist ones--just infuriates me.
