Jane Hamsher's attack on Hadassah Lieberman

Kathleen Parker at WaPo writes about Jane Hamsher’s attack on Mrs. Lieberman, but never calls her out as a leftist radical. Even "progressive," a much too gentle word for her, isn't used. What’s the deal? Parker blames the “new Media,” and the internet, and defines the attack as “anti-feminist” calling Hamsher a “political activist.” Huh? That’s like calling a terrorist a freedom fighter.

Let’s move on to Breitbart’s Big Hollywood for the real Hamsher story.

After cutting her teeth in the business by producing what many feel is the most offensive and degrading main-stream film of the past twenty years (and, some would say, screwing Quentin Tarantino in the process) Hamsher seems to have finally found her calling as a more abrasive, and dangerous version of Arianna Huffington. With her oddly named blog FireDogLake (named after her three favorite things, sitting by the fire with her dog watching Lakers games) she has created a left-wing haven for bloggers not merely content with attacking their opponents with words, but with some serious action.

Hamsher’s latest foray into the realm of on-line coercion is her latest call to arms is against Hadassah Lieberman, wife of Sen. Joe Lieberman (I, CT). Mrs. Lieberman’s crime? She is the wife of a Senator who has proclaimed his opposition to Obama Care. Hamsher is targeting Susan G. Komen for the cure, a breast cancer charity that Mrs. Lieberman serves as Global Ambassador for. . . through her blog and her tangled web of PACs and non-profits she foments rage and builds momentum and loyalty from extremists who read her pages and then targets those readers on behalf of candidates and authors/film makers who are looking to sell to that demographic.

Hamsher's blog is really ugly, and not afraid of telling off the White House. And apparently, she also used to be Andy Stern's (SEIU) girlfriend (isn't there a huge age gap or is he not aging gracefully?), or still is--didn't bother to go that far. That's how she went from just ordinary leftist wet behind the ears to raging, anti-semitic, racist, obscene, violent radical.
