If she is vulgar and hyperpartisan, so what? She still isn't the left's equivalent of Fox News or Rush Limbaugh. It's not that level of vitriol. Not that the left shouldn't have that equivalent.
Especially now that the Republicans have a man in the White House who is overtly vulgar and vitriolic--and is determined to squash anyone who gets under his skin--the left needs people who are not afraid to mock and ridicule the lunatic and his enablers who causing the country and the world so much destruction.
I still haven't heard liberal comedians like Bee mock the small children of politicians who don't ask for attention. Fox News and freerepublic, on the other hand, can go after the Obama kids, and Rush Limbaugh infamously called Chelsea Clinton "the White House dog". Yet, in this thread, we have Democrats and left-leaning independents eager to criticize the "smugness" or whatever of left-of-center comedians. Republicans, however, are not so inclined to call out the crudeness of people like Limbaugh. Enough double standards.
"Both sides do it!"
You literally censor trumps name like a swear word, derogatorily talk about "yuppies" in a way that's isn't much different from the attitudes you criticize towards the working class, have claimed that libertarians all want the poor to die and suffer, implied Clinton didn't have a right to do anything but sit down and retire, etc. You have no right to whine about people not being nice.
It's especially funny because I would guess that Scarlet is the sort of person who assiduously (and, to be fair, correctly) makes the "punching up/punching down" distinction about everything
except socioeconomic status.
