Susan’s Intro: As you know, we are in an increasingly uphill fight against the Wonkette, HuffyPoop, Kossack, and extreme leftist gestapo forces that are out to make sure that NoQuarter does not win an award for “Best Political Commentary,” which as we demonstrate here every day, we deserve more than the nice but “vanilla” site, 538, that solely posts polls and does a bit of analysis. Of polls. Only. Whereas NoQuarter analyzes every crisis around the globe, as well as international, national, and state U.S. politics, and the burning issues of our days. But the leftists hand-picked 538 to win solely because it is such a “vanilla” site.
Please vote daily for No Quarter. Please also vote daily for our NoQuarter contributor Uppity Woman’s blog for “Best New Blog.”
NOW, we have another problem that the leftist gestapo is onto: They’re trying to make Andrew Sullivans’ blog the “Best Blog.” About which our friend Curt, at Flopping Aces blog, writes:
Some of you may or may not know that the Weblog Awards are going on right now and I wanted to write a short note and beg, plead, conjole, the readers of Flopping Aces to vote for Hot Air for best blog. You may not believe they are the best blog around but it’s a two horse race between HA and Andrew Sullivan, and that nutcase should not win the thing.
Maybe next year we will get nominated for something. Best blog thong maybe?
At the least, Curt! At the least! And we hope you remind us next year to nominate your blog!
So, now we have FOUR DAILY VOTING JOBS:
1) vote daily for No Quarter for “Best Political Commentary”;
2) vote daily for our NoQuarter compadre — Uppity Woman — for “Best New Blog.”
3) vote for Hot Air for “Best Blog.” (Here’s Hot Air’s URL.
4) NEW! vote for Steve Clemons’ The Washington Note for “Best Very Large Blog.” Steve exceptional blog is The Washington Note.
Back to choice #3: Yes, Ed Morrissey’s blog is conservative, but he does a brilliant job of keeping us up on the latest news, with insightful commentary.
And Ed Morrissey would NEVER be caught dead posting the hot rumor that Sarah Palin pretended to give birth to her daughter’s baby, which Andrew Sullivan gleefully promulgated as near-fact for several days — and then found every excuse in the book to try to back out of. It was disgusting, abhorrent behavior that deserves punishment.
And let’s none of us forget how Andrew Sullivan went after our Rabble Rouser Reverend Amy. Here’s what Reverend Amy wrote in response to Sullivan’s attack on her, from her July article, ““Secrets and Lies” (Jonatha Brooke)”
Andrew Sullivan, of The Atlantic, nominated me for The Moore Award. As in Michael Moore. Sullivan’s definition of the award is, “is for divisive, bitter and intemperate left-wing rhetoric.”
And what PROMPTED this award? My post the other day, “Why Do They Hate Us?” You know, the one about the misogynistic treatment of women? The one about ow Hillary Clinton has been treated in this primary, especially, but the misogynistic/sexist/brutal treatment of women in general in this country, and many around the globe?
Specifically, he targeted this quote,
“Moore Award Nominee, June 30, 2008: “See, I have done a lot of work in the Domestic Violence movement. And I have seen this cycle before: the man abuses, attacks, and lashes out at the woman. The woman makes excuses for, and accepts blame from, the man for his attacks. Not unlike Senator Clinton saying now that they are friends, respect each other, and support each other. I know what respect looks and feels like – Senator Obama has shown NONE for Senator Clinton. Senator McCain has, but Obama? No. Seeing these photos of her with him now reminds me of battered women wearing sunglasses to hide the bruises, and saying, “Oh, he didn’t really mean it. It was my fault, really, I shouldn’t have made him mad. He really does love me, in his own way, really! Don’t be mad at him!”" – Revd Amy on Larry Johnson’s site.Divisive? Bitter? Left-wing rhetoric? Um, no – realistic observation based on years of experience. But his award simply stands to prove the point I was making in the post, and Victoria Brownworth was making in Curve Magazine.
So, thanks for proving the point, Andrew – women and our experiences, women and sexism, women and the constant threats we face, women and domestic violence, are discounted and disregarded by many in this country, and many in the media. Just what we have been saying all along – the media, particularly men, have openly denigrated women during this campaign, Hillary Clinton specifically. And gotten away with it. Hmm, come to think of it, I AM bitter – bitter that they have gotten away with it, and angry that they continue to show no understanding or REMORSE.
Thanks for proving the point, Andrew! I might add, the ones who have been divisive around here have been Obama and his minions, not those of us who stand up to him and his “secrets and lies.”
There is a big difference – it is called having a principled stand. Operating from integrity. Having a moral compass. Pick one. And maybe get one. That’s how all of these “Secrets and Lies” will be exposed…
NOW are you ready to vote for Hot Air so that Andrew Sullivan won’t win “Best Blog”?
