This is something that really troubles me:

Nick from The World According to Nick watched last night’s presidential debate with some folks at Drinking Liberally (where left-leaning bloggers get together).

He noted one moment in particular:

On the Negative Campaigning

This was simply a stupid topic to talk about. McCain sounded hurt, viagra sale levitra but not very convincingly… and the reality is… both parties are at fault here. Both parties throw mud and pretend they don’t, viagra generic drugstore and act hurt by the mud the other side throws. Welcome to American Politics. McCain did do a good job hitting Obama on his broken promise to take federal funds, site but thats about all that was good here.

This is also where Drinking Liberally turned a little nasty and I had to step out for a few minutes before I lost control. I said something to someone next to me regarding how both sides are being nasty, and he brought up some of the McCain attacks, and seemed to think Obama supporters were clean. I said that “Nobody is clean here. Look at the people who are calling Sarah Palin a cunt”. He then looked me straight in the face (with his girlfriend right next to him) and said “But Sarah Palin is a cunt.” I almost lost it right there. I simply responded with “Then you are no better than anyone else”, and walked out for a few minutes.

I have a low opinion of Hillary Clinton, but I would never refer to her as the “c” word.

The fact that someone who would probably identify himself as a feminist would think that it’s ever appropriate to call a woman that word is just staggering to me.
