The U.S. senator from Texas is the latest GOPer to condemn Todd Akin’s stunningly ignorant comments on rape.

Naturally, there were plenty of liberals who were unable to process the fact that Akin is facing increasing pressure from Republicans to withdraw from the Missouri senate race. After all, the Republican party is but a hive for misogynists, right?

C'mon, Sen Hutchison, Yes…we do believe that Akin was following the GOP party mantra of anti-women.

… except in Congress and on camp trail RT @prwerdel: Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison on Akin: "I don't think he represents our party in any way"

Weird how GOP women have to consistently make these distinctions. MT @prwerdel Hutchison: "I don't think [Akin] represents our party"

Ah yes, of course. Because as Democrat math empirically demonstrates, Todd Akin is Paul Ryan, and Paul Ryan is Todd Akin.
But back to Hutchison’s role as a gender-traitor:
@NowWithAlex @kaybaileyhutch You couldn't have picked a more hateful, divisive woman to be on your panel than the hag kay Bailey Hutchison!

@NowWithAlex #NowForWomen Sure as hell is not Kay Bailey Hutchison who is gonna inspire women. Except for maybe Ann Coulter & Monica Crowley

@NowWithAlex @kaybaileyhutch Kay bailey Hutchison doesn't care about womens issues. The old hag's a republican who would end obamacare #tcot

@NowWithAlex @msnbc @kaybaileyhutch Kay Bailey Hutchison makes this panel irrelevant. #GOP women hate other women. They vote with their men!

Let’s see: he points out Hutchison and the GOP’s supposed hatefulness and divisiveness by calling Hutchison a “hag.” Are we the only ones who see the irony here?
Enough. When will the Left quit the incessant bashing of conservative women — and conservatives as a group — under the guise of defending women against male oppression? Liberals are constantly lumping all women together, encouraging them to engage in groupthink and castigating those who dare stray from the set path. That is intellectual oppression, and it is the Left that bears the heavy burden of guilt.
