Oh Noes! Bitches!

I don't know if you've heard about the latest Right-Wing Hissy Fit, but Amanda at Pandagon has an excellent analysis (and the comments are instructive too):  seems Obama appeared on the View.

Well, now, of course through the lens of the RW that is Evil, since anything Obama does is Evil is you are in their camp.

But why it is evil, that is what may flummox you, though only until you think it over.

It's evil not just because he's on a talk show, and that talk show is run by (ick) girls; but also, oh, also, because he could have gone to speak the Boy Scouts instead.

Well, see, that's just wrong.  Pick speaking to adult women over talking to male children?

Tsk.  Where are his priorities?

I seem to remember that those same pearl-clutching conservatives had a hissy fit when the President addressed schoolchildren, encouraging them to study hard and remain in school. Now they want him to speak to Boy Scouts?

Ha! Good point. Aren't they afraid he'll, I don't know, turn the noble and ancient regime of the Scouts into Communists and Socialists?

In fact, if he had spoken at the Boy Scouts, that's probably exactly what their complaints WOULD have been.
