Taylor Swift, SJW

Posted on | October 10, 2018 | Comments Off on Taylor Swift, SJW

When did Phil Bredesen become a heroic figure in “the fight for LGBTQ rights”? That was the first thought that hit me when I read pop singer Taylor Swift’s endorsement of the Tennessee Democrat’s Senate campaign on her Tumblr fan page. Miss Swift seems to be under the impression that Bredesen, a 74-year-old former governor, is some kind of progressive Trojan Horse. While the Democrat has been trying to paint himself as a common-sense moderate, Miss Swift conveyed to her impressionable young fans the idea that Bredesen is secretly a Social Justice Warrior (SJW) committed to fighting “any form of discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender” and ending the allegedly “terrifying, sickening and prevalent” problem of “systemic racism.”
Are those the themes of Bredesen’s campaign ads in Tennessee? Did I somehow miss the news that the septuagenarian former governor underwent an ideological makeover to become a radical clone of Cory Booker? Or is Miss Swift’s endorsement of Bredesen an ill-considered attempt by the singer to dispel the criticism she received from the Left for avoiding political commentary during the Trump era?
For months, leftists have been hammering Miss Swift for her failure to support Hillary Clinton’s campaign, or to condemn President Trump since his election. Despite being one of the most successful female entertainers in history, Miss Swift was accused of doing feminism wrong. The website Everyday Feminist slammed her in September 2015 with a headline: “5 Ways Taylor Swift Exemplifies White Feminism — And Why That’s a Problem.” . . .

Anti-Male Georgetown Professor Uses Tumblr Blog to ‘Dox’ Her Critics

Posted on | October 9, 2018 | Comments Off on Anti-Male Georgetown Professor Uses Tumblr Blog to ‘Dox’ Her Critics

We have covered Georgetown Professor Christine Fair in the past:

Unhinged by Hate: Georgetown Professor
Harasses Trump Voter @AsraNomani
— Dec. 28, 2016

BREAKING: Anti-Male Georgetown
University Professor Now on Leave
— Oct. 5, 2018

Professor Fair is a textbook example of Herbert Marcuse‘s 1965 “progressive tolerance” (i.e., intolerance to conservatism) in action. Because the Left considers opposition to its ideology to be evil, leftists like Professor Fair believe they are justified in fighting their opponents “by any means necessary.” The Left recognizes no law or social norms that restrain them in attacking their chosen enemies.

PJMedia’s Toni Airaksinen reports the latest:

The Georgetown University professor who called for the “miserable deaths” of GOP senators admitted Thursday to PJ Media that she runs a “doxxing” blog where she posts the names, phone numbers, and addresses of people who send her rude emails.
The blog — “Sh*tMenSay” on Tumblr — was launched by Professor Christine Fair in January 2017. First, she began by posting screenshots of the “hate mail” she was sent by Facebook and email, typically only including names and people’s email addresses.
But as early as May 2017, Fair changed course. Instead of simply screenshotting the person’s email or Facebook message, Fair appears to have subscribed to a service that would help her figure out where these people exactly live.
PJ Media reviewed hundreds of posts (yes, hundreds) on “ShitMenSay” and identified 11 accounts of full-on doxxing, for which home addresses, phone numbers, photos, aliases, and occasionally work phone numbers and other family members were made public.
“When will these male trolls learn?” she wrote on September 28.
“I do research for a living. Locating their residences (these folks live in a town in [redacted] near an elementary school on [redacted] St.), their wives, employers, etc. is mental sport for me,” wrote Fair in one doxxing post.
“I will be notifying his current and past employer as well as his wife,” she wrote on a separate doxxing post. (PJ Media is not linking or screenshotting any of these posts due to privacy concerns for the victims of her blog.)
While Fair justifies her doxxing by calling it “accountability” for “harassment,” the emails that she received are garden-variety hate mail, and wouldn’t in any case rise to an illegal level of harassment. . . .

You can read the whole thing at PJMedia.

Let me say that I am against “hate mail,” whoever does it, on whatever side, and I am against “harassment” generally. On those occasions when I feel a need to express my indignation to someone via email, my language tends to be very formal, like a gentleman taking notice of an offense to his honor and challenging the offender to “pistols at dawn.” When a Southerner makes a point of calling you “sir” (“Pardon me, sir, if I have mistaken your intent in impugning my integrity …”) you know you’ve pissed him off bad. Furthermore, when you are communicating to a journalist or academic or anyone else who considers themselves an “intellectual,” it is important to avoid crude insults, sloppy grammar or misspellings. You don’t want to communicate in such a way as to confirm their opinion of you as an ignorant bigot. Remember: Always take the high road when responding to deranged totalitarian moonbats.

.@DaTechGuyblog You should add Professor @cchristinefair to your list of troubled souls for whom your pray the rosary. https://t.co/hC5q6ok3ga

The Last Kavanaugh Post, Ever

Posted on | October 8, 2018 | Comments Off on The Last Kavanaugh Post, Ever

Since my first post on the subject (“Democrats Pull the Sleaziest Smear in Their Long History of Sleazy Smears,” Sept. 15), I’ve written dozens of posts about the Kavanaugh confirmation circus, and I’m sure you’re as weary of the subject as I am. Neverthless, once the confirmation went through, I felt a need to eulogize this fit of political insanity:

Deranged and desperate, driven mad by President Trump’s successes, Democrats disgraced themselves in defeat as their dishonest smears failed to stop Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation as the 114th justice of the Supreme Court. As the nomination process culminated in a 50-48 Senate vote, Americans witnessed the stark insanity of howling mobs the Democrats unleashed on Capitol Hill.
The Senate vote was repeatedly interrupted by outbursts of screeching from protesters. J. Christian Adams, a former Justice Department official, was in the gallery and was disturbed by one female protester’s insane screams: “She was like a feminist automaton: ‘I will not consent, I will not consent.’ Capitol Police… dragged her out the doors and down the hallway. I have visited hospitals for the seriously mentally ill, and the shrieks from this woman were as odd and unearthly as anything I ever heard inside a mental hospital.”
Democrats own this insanity. They are responsible for the madness unleashed by the tactics with which they sought to derail the Kavanaugh nomination. It is difficult to imagine that voters in next month’s midterm elections will reward Democrats for such embarrassing behavior. . . .

Author of Smear Against Conservative Journalists Exposed as Foreign Agent

Posted on | October 8, 2018 | Comments Off on Author of Smear Against Conservative Journalists Exposed as Foreign Agent

Molly McKew is an ‘information warfare expert.’

Before getting to the news, let me explain the background: The Left’s “Russian collusion” narrative (i.e., that Trump is a Kremlin puppet) has had dangerous consequences. Every geopolitical enemy of Russia — including China and such former Warsaw Pact countries as Ukraine — has made this conspiracy theory the basis of their own efforts to “meddle” in American politics, so that anti-GOP propaganda is being funded by foreigners who think that electing Democrats will help them stop Putin. Does this make any sense? It doesn’t matter. Crazy as it sounds, this explains a bizarre story that ran last week at the website of Wired magazine, which accused a bunch of conservatives — everybody from Jack Posobiec to Tucker Carlson — of being “information terrorists,” using “assymetric tools” to wage “cognitive warfare.”

Jim Hoft of Gateway Pundit, one of those identified as an “information terrorist” in that weird story, points out that the author of that article, Molly McKew, is a registered agent of the government of the former Soviet republic of Georgia. So here we have the hired agent of a foreign government smearing patriotic Americans like Jim Hoft — a guy I’ve known personally for more than 10 years — as “terrorists”! It’s crazy.
