THE LEFTIE HYPOCRISY OF SALON.COM (Or Can Rape Jokes EVER Be "Funny"?)

A typical home page for leftie Website Salon.com.

This is an adult pic of former child star Mara Wilson
which P.C. Salon.com apparently finds "ugly".

This is John McCain's daughter Meghan
who is one of Salon.com's favorite targets.

This is "comedian" Sarah Silverman wearing BLACKFACE
which Salon.com apparently finds "funny".

I was reading an article or two on noted leftie site Salon.com--hey, I was bored!--and down towards the bottom of the page where they had links to other articles on other sites one article title read something like: "Former Child Stars Who Grew Up UGLY." What struck me as rather odd about this--not to mention, of course, hypocritical--is that Salon, just like every other leftie site (and, yes, I'm looking at you, Gawker!), routinely promotes "typical" leftie ideals such as politically-correctness and the like, including feminism and/or feminist ideals such as promoting "positive" women's body images. And I say this because the article caption showed a picture of former child star Mara Wilson--who's perhaps best known for her role in the Robin Williams vehicle Mrs. Doubtfire--when she was a child and next to that a pic of her as an "ugly" adult (and, in my view, she WASN'T "ugly"). So just why in the world Salon.com would post a link to an article like THIS is beyond me. But, just like with every other leftie site (and, again, I'm looking at YOU, Gawker!), this wasn't the FIRST time Salon has let their leftie hypocrisy show; like, for instance, they were among those MANY lefties who slammed "comedian" Daniel Tosh who told that by-now-infamous rape joke to a female heckler at one of his shows while they're published scores of articles praising and/or defending "comedienne" Sarah Silverman even though she's told the SAME rape jokes as Mr. Tosh and even worse (see Sarah's "blackface" pic above). Likewise, they, like every other leftie site (or, of course, leftie in general), has harped about the right's so-called "war on women" and/or their homophobia while they virtually ignore the female "discrimination" and/or homophobia espoused in the Muslim world--stonings, beatings, rapings, female genital mutilation, etc., etc.--and label anyone who dares brings this FACT up as--that's right!--an Islamophobe. Salon, for all their talk of "supporting" women's rights and such, also posted a rather nasty article criticizing John McCain's daughter Meghan McCain (Google it) even though she's gone-on-record espousing "gay" rights and also got into a public pissing match with the Palins (of course, Meghan's BIGGEST "sin" in Salon's mind is probably that she's the daughter of a noted right-wing politician, you know what I mean?). Of course, I can just hear the lefties who are reading this screaming, "What about these right-wing sites?" I would harp about the blatant hypocrisy one regularly sees on various right-wing sites (and, yes, I'm looking at YOU, Fox Nation!), but THAT would be rather redundant, don't you figure? You know what I'd like to see? I'd personally like to see a site that goes after everyone EQUALLY regardless of their political affiliation and such. Of course, the day THAT happens will probably be the SAME day there'll be a freeze advisory on the Weather Channel for Hell itself. You think?

Here's the late great George Carlin's take on so-called rape jokes (which, at least in MY view, is a hell of a lot "funnier" than either Daniel Tosh or Sarah Silverman!):
