Reply #45: That is an excellant example - from Rush Limbaugh

I never listened to that - but yeah basically - I would expect racist, sexist, gay jokes from somebody like that - and I have no respect for him.


I don't expect the same from people who consider themselves liberals (libertarians, maybe).

It's one thing to know that racists, sexists like Limbaugh will be attacking "Femi-nazis" - I don't expect that from progressives.

While attempting to position his magazine as a progressive publication, Flynt is using the tactics of reactionary conservatives such as Michael Savage and Rush Limbaugh to attack women who stand against violence (and) degradation. In a recent book, Savage complains that the New York Times is contaminated by 'femi-fascists, the Commu-Nazis'. I would argue that it's no coincidence that in the February issue of Hustler, the editors refer to me as a 'femi-fascist' and a 'Stalinist', and commissioned a caricature of me as some type of Nazi/fascist. These unfounded characterizations are so similar to conservative attacks on other feminists that it's difficult to distinguish them in print. Both camps (if they are indeed, truly different) make unfounded attacks that have little to do with the real issues at hand. (Bitch Magazine S(hit) List)
