In the Midst of the TalkLeft Pyrotechnics, A Heroic Comment Emerges

The heroic comment in question appeared in response to "miriam," who huffs in Response to the recent thread about the interview in which Cindy McCain disagrees with her husband and with Sarah Palin on Rape and Incest Victims having access to abortion (although, Cindy of course would lock it down in any other context). But where were we? Oh yeah. In response to that thread, "miriam" huffed:

Then the "Choice" Issue will have to be fought all over again. But this time all the younger women who have genuflected before Obama can fight the battle. God knows they deserve some consequences for dismissing and dissing Hillary Clinton and the concerns of those of us who fought the last battle.

(But now the Tide is Turning on TalkLeft. Jeralyn has been swinging for the fences against McCain all along, and this has only intensified of late. Awesomely, she has been no less pointed in her attacks on Palin. At one point yesterday she reminded a particularly angry commenter that hers is "not a feminist blog," but a blog concerned primarily with criminal justice issues. This was important for some to remember. The world is not a perpetual graduate theory course where everyone is obsessed with race and gender, however so much some would like it to be.

Meanwhile, comment wars continue to rage. Fascinating to check in on, Harrogate definitely recommends it [but don't act like you know him, if you run into him running his mouth, there]).

So that was the brilliant ruminations of "miriam." Good God, it was wondrous to see the following vociferous, eloquent refutation of "miriam," appear courtesy of "IndiDemGirl"

So women who didn't support your candidate deserve to lose power over their own bodies? What about Gitmo -- do people there deserve to be tortured because your candidate didn't win? Do the soldiers in Iraq deserve to stay there longer because your candidate didn't win? Does the entire world deserve the consequence of a McCain/Palin presidency because Hillary didn't win the nomination?

The more of this kind of Talk that makes it out there, the better.
