I made fun of RedState's anti-choice post from this weekend this morning, and started a hashtag with Jesse for those who want to continue to do so on Twitter. The pomposity RedState brings to their brazen misogyny and their attempts to rewrite history to justify their reactionary tendencies are funny.

The anniversary of Roe v Wade is a big deal for both the supporters and detractors of the belief that women are people, as I'm sure you're aware. RedState.com decided to commemorate the anniversary by competing for the first prize in the contest of who could write the most tasteless, ignorant, and offensive post ever in support of forced childbirth. I think you'll agree that what they came up with is a contender in what is a crowded field. It's a post that manages to assert that embryos are people, but women are nothing more than "physical locations". It suggests that black people have equal claim to be considered persons as multi-celled entities that, unlike black people (or women, or children, or gay people, or whoever else conservatives care less about than the initial evidence that a male orgasm has definitely occurred in the recent past in a bona fide vagina), do not have brains, emotions, rationality, consciousness, relationships, desires or ambitions. They tried to gross you out in lieu of making a real argument. They compared themselves to abolitionists while also trying to trumpet the Confederates as noble insurrectionists against federal tyranny.

So, a guy shot some cops in Pennsylvania. He also happened to sound like a Redstate poster on a day when Steve Sailer posts something particularly juicy.
