sethrakSo, is there actually a groundswell of liberal support for Ed Schulz calling Laura Ingram a slut? Because "slut" isn't actually a bad word, and people call each other it as a term of affection/friendship alllll the time? And it's juuuuust like Whoopie Goldberg trying to claim what Roman Polanski did to his victim wasn't "rape-rape"?
I find this claim dubious. Most liberals I know do NOT, in fact, think that kind of name-calling is ok when it's from a liberal towards a conservative, and most liberals tend to not use that sort of thing casually the way one might use "dude".
For the record, I am a liberal, and a feminist. (Not that anyone regularly reading this would think otherwise...) I do not think it was ok to call Laura Ingram a slut. I do not think it is ok to call anyone a slut, and particularly not as an ad hominem attack.
