Any of my regular readers know that I get some hate. Just take a look at the comments section of most of what I write. Unfortunately, it goes with the flow of being a female conservative commentator. It’s not fun to be called names for presenting my viewpoints, but it is what it is, and I don’t let it bother me.
It could even be considered a badge of honor -- a horrible, horrible badge of honor, but one that marks a True Conservative™. For some strange reason, people feel okay verbally attacking and threatening women that happen to align themselves with the Republican Party. As many attacks as I’ve personally experienced, they don’t begin to touch what some of my sisters in arms go through.
On Wednesday, prolific (and gorgeous) S.E. Cupp was featured in Hustler magazine. Her picture was photoshopped to make it appear as though she were involved in a sexual act involving her mouth and the male genitalia. The accompanying text read:
S.E. Cupp is a lovely young lady who read too much Ayn Rand in high school and ended up joining the dark side. Cupp, an author and media commentator who often shows up on Fox News programs, is undeniably cute. But her hotness is diminished when she espouses dumb ideas like defunding Planned Parenthood. Perhaps the method pictured here is Ms. Cupp’s suggestion for avoiding an unwanted pregnancy.
In what universe is this okay? Where is the National Organization for Women to condemn Hustler for this sick hack job? This is the real War on Women, not the fight over whether or ladies should be expected to come up with $9 a month to buy their own birth control.
It’s not just the commentators that get ‘lefty love’ in the form of venomous attacks ... our elected officials get it too. The day before Cupp was photoshopped into a porno mag, South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley had her face plastered onto a piñata while AFL-CIO bashed the heck out of it. Can you imagine the outrage that would occur if a Republican group had done the same to Michelle Obama?
This double standard needs to stop. Republican women are not traitors to their gender, they simply hold different viewpoints than their Democratic sisters. Kudos especially this week to Sandra Fluke and Kirsten Powers, two liberal ladies that have publicly condemned the treatment of S.E. Cupp by Hustler.
Republican or Democrat, no woman should have to put up with that stuff.

For some strange reason, people feel okay verbally attacking and threatening women that happen to align themselves with the Republican Party.
I actually think it's beyond that - it's any woman who doesn't fully align with the Left/far-Left. I'm pretty shocked at some of the personally-directed, hate-filled comments I read - the one that stuck out the most was 'whore for the Republican party'. Seriously?
I don't think we're ever go to see the Left clean up their act until the media stops filtering its reporting. I used to lean much farther Left than I do now, until I realized how much stuff was going on that wasn't being reported becasue it didn't bode well for a Democratic administration. It's sad that we, as Americans, have to dig for the truth because we can't get it from journalists anymore. I'll bet there won't be a word said about this Hustler issue on any network except Fox, and the usual "Faux News" klan will eyeroll and snicker.
Why is hustler magazine not being charged with... something?
Its one thing to make a political cartoon, or to even draw a likeness of the woman doing this. Its still disgusting, but at least its not her own picture.
Totally agree. It's disgusting and certainly not what the women's movement was about. Things have gotten so out of hand and people are beyond vicious.
I'm pretty sure that most of the commenters on your previous articles have all said, or agreed that NO woman deserves to be treated like this. Republican or Democrat, black, white, pink or purple. It's disgusting and demeaning and it all comes back to wanting to keep women as sexual objects, with no opinions or validity. It really pisses me off.
