Tea Baggers: Incapable of Respect? Disgraceful! Irrational! Sexist!
How long must we endure the Tea Baggers irrationality?
“Let the record show that you can be a United States senator for 21 years. You can be 79 years old. You can be the chair of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, and one of the most recognizable and widely-respected veteran public servants in your nation. But if you are female while all of those things, men who you defeat in arguments will still respond to you by calling you hysterical and telling you to calm down. They’ll patronize you and say they admire your passion, ‘sweetie,’ but they deal in facts, not your silly, girly feelings. It’s inescapable. You can set your watch by it.” Rachel Maddow commenting on the scuffle between Sen. Dianne Feinstein and Sen. Ted Cruz this past Thursday. http://www.nbcnews.com/id/26315908/vp/51188139#51188139.
