35. Sorry you don't like my adverb phrase but I'm pretty sure my post is clear to most.

The subject of my post is about having someone on our side who will dish it out to the propagandists who are currently engaged in turning America's women into handmaidens and Stepford wives, among other things.

We need some jerks.

Not necessarily sexist jerks, but in your face jerks. Look at what we are fighting.


My post says "we need jerks" but it also clearly implies that sexism is not a desired quality for a "jerk", or aka, a commentator that is capable of taking on the right wing. But your word parsing seems to want to turn my post into some kind of a pro-sexist dog whistle. Why?


Then again, maybe I missed something. Perhaps there is some terribly sexist rant done by Olbermann that I am just not aware of which should automatically disqualify him from using his abrasive style on the extremist GOP.

Any examples?
