I don't feel the need to expose myself to it. So I won't. However, I say it is the "winger-ness" of it, not the sexism of it. I point to... was it Bachman, Palin, both? who had targets on the President and other dems? I resist the idea that it's "sexism" without regard to the primary issues of sexism being among wingers and teabaggers of both sexes. I mean the war on women has quite a few women voting hatefully towards women.

I know it's easy to see sexism, but that's a symptom, not the disease. The disease is religious winger-ism.
