You can do more than just "shove it"

The reporter who Teressa Kerry insulted because he asked her to clarify a statement has now been the recipient of several death threats from dolts coming to the aid of Mrs. Kerry.

My favorite quote from the piece:

As I struggled to close this column with something profound, an e-mail popped up from my oldest brother in faraway Ohio.

"From what I'm hearing on late-night radio, the liberal definition of a 'strong woman' is one who abuses anyone who asks a question she doesn't want to answer," he wrote. "A strong conservative woman would have come up with an example of how the questioner's paper had misrepresented the truth about her candidate or position."

Being "strong" is never having to say you're sorry, or justify yourself, or have even a shred of reasonability to justify your actions.

But that's not surprising. Liberals notions of "strength" are grounded in universal affirmation. Forget about challenging people to actually achieve, or calling them on their mistakes. Nope. Let's just draft a cadre of salmon-shirted official back-patters to ensure that everyone has a wonderful day. If innocent journalists get in the way of our warmth and compassion and minority empowerment and should happen to receive death threats along the way, then [expletive] them. You know how meddlesome journalists can be anyway, what with their accurate quotations and probing questions. Liberalism has no room for that nonsense.
