Sometimes I wish Megan were a guy

so I could threaten to beat her up without all the bad connotations such would involve. There's some stupid that's too obviously intentional, and too plain offensive, to respond to even with snark. Here's the latest example she's produced;

Unfair advantages:

Many readers responded to my post on coastal contempt by saying, in essence, "They do it too!" There are two answers to that. The first is that if you understand there is a difference between black and white racial resentments, then you should understand that there is a difference between comments by a powerful elite, and comments by a less powerful group, even a majority. (See, say, the Malay/Chinese disputes).

Yes, the folk who elected and are actually represented by our current President are poor, powerless plebs. There's no bias present in Megan's mind that she considers all red state voters to be hicks eking out a living in tin roof shacks by selling moonshine and dirt. There are no cities in red states, no rich, powerful, folk, shit, there's barely even electricity. Hell, we only even let the red states have a single Senator, who can't vote.
This is precisely what the stereotypical condescending rich white liberal charity ball goer who Megan loves to loathe does; makes those she's defending into helpless infants who only have a chance because a white woman wants to set them free.

The second is that here's an area where controlling the media hurts us. When they make cracks, they make them in private, where we can't hear them. When we do it, we often do it in public, right there on the television or in national print media. So they are more aware of, and resentful of, coastal condescension than vice versa. I mean, I know there are people out there who think I'm a pitiful childless, soulless atheist latte-sipping liberal spinster. Occasionally they wander into my comments. But mostly, their contempt is a cottage industry. We're exporting on an industrial scale.

Yeah, that Rush Limbaugh sure is an underground phenomenon who liberals don't recognize exists. And Fox News? It's transmitted in secret on a shifting frequency so The Man can't find it and shut it down.
And spare this us shit, you voted for Bush, twice. You're a red state voter, Megan. You're one of them, hence the need to lie about their, and your, true nature.

This asymmetry gives us a lot of power to set agendas--but it's also why urban liberals are, in my experience, more politically parochial than their rural counterparts. At least the rural regionalist bigots are aware that there is another point of view--it's on the news every night. A good Manhattan liberal, unless they hail from the hinterlands, never needs listen to anyone he disagrees with.

Brian Williams makes a point of expressing his admiration for Rush Limbaugh, Megan. Fox News exists.
Megan had to express support for the liberal media bias lie in order to give herself the ground for all these lies that have followed. About half the content of most liberal blogs consists of following what the other side is doing and thinking. There are a large number of popular liberal blogs which do nothing but keep an eye on the other side. And they do so by quoting the other side, and encouraging their readers to follow the links to verify for themselves people think these things. The right is waging a culture war against a straw man version of liberals based on a distorted picture of a handful of radicals from 30 years ago.
Megan is making a play for success. Just as in Hollywood you'll never go broke making movies about Hollywood, in the MSM you'll never lack for work if you harp on media bias. They love talking about themselves, and projecting their own flaws onto others. Megan knows she's lying, and is probably proud of herself for doing it. She's feeding the division that has been destroying this country for 40 years now for personal gain, and pretending she's being noble, or at least honest, for doing so.
I don't know whether she believes her shit, or is just greedy, and I don't care. I'm getting truly angry, and so I'm out.

And just to make clear for any pearl clutchers wandering by, I do not actually wish I could beat Megan up. Sorry to disappoint.
