My post, my views.
Ok, I may use profanity every once in a while but I usually do not get really angry.
I should have known better than click on that link that Lambert posted (I won’t reproduce it here). And I definitely should have known better than read the comments.
It started with the usual stuff that makes Lambert’s title so right on target: If you don’t support Obama, go f– yourself or any variation of that theme, traitors, etc.
And then I read this and I thought I was going to lose it. Like my title says, I’m still trembling with rage:
“At the end of WWII, all the French whores who serviced the Germans were rounded up. Their heads were shaved, and they were tarred and feathered.
At the end of a war, the victorious side settles its debts. If you helped, you get a reward. If you did not help, you are in serious trouble.

“I like the shaven head and tar and feathering idea for Clintonistas!!

And then happily moving on the claiming an absence of misogyny.
Maybe it’s because I’m French and my grandparents were members of the resistance and AGAINST the head shaving disgrace. Most of the shaving was done by former collaborators who suddenly had turned resistant zealots when they felt the way the wind was blowing. But I guess ignorance of history is no problem.
I never thought I’d say this: I hate these people.
