Are you the same people who derided King, Gandhi, Kennedy, Van Gogh, and Rushdie? How fool hardy they were to demand and support civil rights, human rights for the oppressed in spite of their corrupt private lives.

How dare they and Bhutto not be perfect morally and ineffective politically as are blog writers.

How dare Diana concern herself with the victims of land mines and AIDS instead of feeding your belief that beautiful women are stupid, useless or corrupt morally?

How dare the poor and oppressed mourn the death of their hope for relief.

Are you the same people who told women to lay back and enjoy it? Shut up and listen to our betters? Just as no one can ever be correct enough for the left, no one can be pure enough for the sexist right.

I would rather “study Mr. Levy’s histrionic communique” all day long rather than read this pretentious misogyny.
