If I have anything to say against Harmon it&#8217;s not because I&#8217;m a sexist, it&#8217;s because I don&#8217;t like what she&#8217;s saying and anybody should be able to feel that way, but what I find now is that if you say anything against her you&#8217;re called a sexist,&#8221; Campbell told a reporter for\u00a0<strong>2parse.com<\/strong>, the esteemed blog. &#8220;But sexism has nothing to do with it, I don\u2019t care what genitalia she has or doesn&#8217;t have &#8211; or what gender she identifies herself as. I\u2019m just not crazy about what she&#8217;s saying. I mean &#8211; I understand Obama has been in office for <strong>69 days<\/strong> so it&#8217;s hard to understand how he hasn&#8217;t accomplished <em>everything <\/em>he promised he would. He only has about\u00a0<strong>1,400 days<\/strong> in office. I know he said he\u2019s gonna do that and change and change, so okay \u2026 but he&#8217;s still got some time. There&#8217;s still a recession over here, woman, and you clearly don&#8217;t know what you&#8217;re talking about when you say that &#8220;we&#8217;ve got unemployment at an all-time high&#8221; (<em>Unless <\/em>you mean &#8220;all-time&#8221; since after Reagan was president.) If I&#8217;m going to disagree with Angie Harmon, that doesn&#8217;t make me a sexist.\u00a0\u00a0It has to do with the fact that she sounds like <strong>an uninformed dolt<\/strong>.\u00a0If I was to disagree with W, that doesn&#8217;t make me sexist. It has nothing to do with it, it is ridiculous.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>When asked to provide any examples of the accusations of sexism that provoked this tirade, Campbell finally fell silent.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Angie Harmon has also neglected to provide any examples of accusations of racism.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.drudgereport.com\/\">Matt Drudge<\/a> has only been promoting one of these stories, so the unfounded allegations of charges of sexism insinuated by Campbell will not gain as large of an audience as the unfounded accusations of Harmon.<\/p>\n<p>Campbell admitted though that the fake umbrage-taking in the media circus was entertaining, even if it detracted from the overall political discourse. &#8220;But I get to promote myself!&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>[Image courtesy of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/bristolmotorspeedway\/2822831460\/\">Bristol Motor Speedway and Dragway<\/a> licensed under Creative Commons.]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0 [digg-reddit-me]Contra this tirade\u00a0which the Drudge Report is somewhat inexplicably promoting.
