Lincoln Chaffee: Girly Man! Ha ha ha ha ha!
Over at confirmthem.com, which is Alito Confirmation Central, the reaction is to question Chaffee's masculinity.
I hate it when the left depicts the right as, like, all sexist and homophobic and stuff. I can never figure out where they get that crap from.
UPDATE: I thought this comment that someone just left here was worth, as they say, "sharing":
Its funny (and pathetic) how Eric links to some string that supopsedly shows the homophobia and sexism of Republicans, but there is only one comment about Chaffe being a woman (ie. not having balls) and Eric participates in the string and perpetuates the one "questionable comment" by asking questions about it and focusing on the one poster who made the comment. Reading the rest of the string reinforced for me that Republicans seems to debate and present positions on facts as opposed to hyperbolic name calling, fear tactics, or general accusations. Eric is a typical leftie in that he tries to create a controversy where there is none. ie. Bush stole the 2000 election (wrong); SCOTUS gave Bush 2000 election (wrong); Yellowcake (nothing); PlameGate (nothing); NSA terrorist surveillance (nothing); Alito is racist/misogynist/etc. (nothing); Republicans are homophobic and racists (wrong); When will you learn that the majority of people see through your distorted rantings? Keep going with obfuscation and see how that works in Nov. Eric's bogus accusations remind me the constant bogus accusations coming from the Dems. They only drain the President's time when he should be, among other things, leading us to victory in Iraq and elsewhere over the war on terror. It's time that all Americans realize that winning this war is more important than politics and regardless of whether you voted for Kerry or not (like I did) support the President because winning in Iraq is in America's interest. If you cannot do this because you are stuck on Bush hating then you put politics ahead of America and you are truly UN-Patriotic.
Right on! Not only are males who don't support the President effeminate, but they're unpatriotic too.
FURTHER UPDATE: Over at confirmthem.com, the defense of the original posting as non-sexist has been taken up by one "Pajamazon," who has this to say:
"I understand your position. All women should feel insulted every time a man is told he “throws like a girl.” All women should take offense every time a male is called a pussy! Seriously though…….Is it an insult to Chevy to say a Ford is not a Chevy? Your comment indicates that you side with the professionally offended! I’ll go out on a limb here and suggest that the ranks of those professionally offended are filled with women! Oh sure there are a few token males and metrosexuals but for the most part its the gals that do most of the bitching! (Who votes for Hillary)?Well I, for one, am persuaded. No sexism at all going on here.And this is not some carp about women vs. men. This is to state as fact that women are not men! And when Judge Alito becomes Justice Alito we will be one step closer to this reality."
FINAL UPDATE: The thread over at confirmthem.com winds down with this little gem from Joe:
Eric,With Alito getting on to court this is the begininng of the end for the anti male feminist agenda. We know who wears the pants in your house and it most certainly is not you!!!

Eric, when did you become a United Nation's patriot? Was it the UN's enticing Universal Declaration of Human Rights or their work on displaced humanity?

It's definitely juvenile and I suppose it's offensive to women, but this is pretty mild stuff. I can't believe you bothered to comment on it. Questioning a guy's masculinity by calling him a woman has been a recurring joke on every single episode of Scrubs for the past five years and I've never heard a woman complain. It may not be ConfirmThem's finest hour, but as an indictment of the entire Republican party, it's weak.

When Arnold Schwarzenegger calls Democrats "girly men" from the podium at the Republican National Convention, and everyone laughs, I think we're looking at a phenomenon that's a little bit broader than just a single posting at confirmthem.com.

Are you sure these comments aren't satire? If they are, they're hilarious!

Funny how they can never hear us complaining, until we get shrill and churlish. Then suddenly they can't listen because we are so shrill and churlish. I blame the patriarchy.
