Romney Mercilessly Mocked on Tumblr, by Taylor Marsh
HILLARY CLINTON got the star treatment on Tumblr. But after the Romney campaign sent out an iPad ap with “America” spelled incorrectly, the floodgates opened and haven’t stopped since.

Book Review of "The Hillary Effect," by Joe Gandelman
IF you haven’t read my book yet, this should inspire you to do so. It’s a great summer read. From Joe Gandelman’s review:
When “The Hillary Effect” came out in December you could have bet that it would have been just one more of these quickie political books that seem to be a collection of uninspired recycled reporting notes, or reworded blog posts, except this time it would focus on the ill-fated Presidential nomination campaign of Hillary Clinton, American history’s first Presidential primary winning female candidate. In fact, “The Hillary Effect” proved to be a breath of 21st century new journalism fresh air. In several ways, it’s standing the test of time because Washington analyst Taylor Marsh’s analysis is so perceptive that — no joke — you can’t find a lot of her spot-on observations about politics, politics’ ruthlessness, and sexism in media and in politics anywhere else.
She contends that Hillary Clinton faced a double edged, razor-sharp sword, and fell on it: the news media’s treatment of her was different as First Lady, Senator and as the country’s first viable female Presidential aspirant, not just because she was a woman, but because she was Hillary Clinton. She had some baggage to shed, started effectively shedding it, and Team Obama made it their mission to make sure they loaded her up with more of it.
Today, “The Hillary Effect” is more relevant than ever.

Hillary’s No, by Taylor Marsh
GEORGE WASHINGTON didn’t exactly jump at the chance to lead our nation after being asked either. So it shouldn’t surprise anyone that women like Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, as well as people like myself, aren’t taking Hillary’s no for an answer.
I’m not comparing America’s first president to Hillary Rodham Clinton, but the times and the need for a fearless leader are as dire. … read on…

![Target of Fantasy Flynt Ad “Commends” Hustler for “Honesty”, by Taylor Marsh
“That’s satire. I’m able to publish this because of the Supreme Court case I won in 1984, Flynt v. Falwell.” – Larry Flynt [h/t The Blaze]
HE’S THE RUSH Limbaugh of graphic images. The leader in sliming the right, as Limbaugh is to the left.
Like Limbaugh’s verbal assault on Sandra Fluke, Larry Flynt has attacked conservative S.E. Cupp, but in graphic visual form, which will make her a heroine to the right, as Fluke became to the left and give her a larger platform than she otherwise would have on her own.
Like Rush Limbaugh, Larry Flynt will do or say just about anything to confront conservatives on their philosophical ideas over sex and contraception. What he’s done using S.E. Cupp as the subject is legal, but it is reprehensible in every way. If there is a more vile way to make your point I don’t know what it would be.
In her interview with Glenn Beck, Cupp said, “I have to commend that as being incredibly honest.” They have “uncomplicated” the belief system that makes the portrayal of abortion rights opponents in this way okay, by revealing what many people think about conservative philosophy on sex and reproduction, but won’t say so out loud.
“Celebrity fantasy” was the Hustler magazine plot line. More from Flynt’s response:
The photo of Cupp, a GBTV host and conservative commentator, showed her engaging in a sex act with what appears to be a penis in her mouth. It ran in the magazine beside the headline “Celebrity Fantasy” and the question: “What would S.E. Cupp look like with a [d**k] in her mouth?”
A disclaimer beneath it stated: “No such picture of S.E. Cupp actually exists. This composite fantasy is altered from the original for our imagination, does not depict reality, and is not to be taken seriously for any purpose.”
I’ve met Larry Flynt. He’s something else. He continues to prove that the landmark case against Falwell over the 1st Amendment is more important to him than any one person’s feelings or reputation, including his own. He’s reviled by everyone, religious conservatives and feminists, Democrats and Republicans, mothers and fathers, sons and daughters, with his tactics to shock unrelenting and always producing the desired reaction.
Glenn Beck, who was run off of Fox News Channel, did an interview with S.E. Cupp. “It’s embarrassing,” is how Cupp begins the interview. “It will be out there forever,” Cupp continued.
The political pornography in our culture has come up to the line of obscenity for decades. We saw it in South Carolina, when George W. Bush allies defamed John McCain in ads that lied about his family and his character. We saw it when Republicans targeted a three-limb amputee Max Cleland, as well as Silver Star recipient John Kerry. There was Bush 41′s Willy Horton ad.
Larry Flynt’s Hustler is attacking S.E. Cupp’s beliefs and philosophy on sex and reproductive freedom, something he’s hit conservatives on for decades. He took a bullet for it. But through satirical weaponry Hustler attempts to demoralize and harm her persona in a way he knows will make her squirm. Subjecting her forcibly to swallow a phallus against her will, directly intending to publicly humiliate her. It’s character rape through pornographic satire.
You can bet Republicans will embrace the war on women now, though it comes through Limbaugh’s microphone every day. Is seen in Hustler‘s S.E. Cupp fantasy page. It happens every time a female is attacked, controlled, vilified or her freedoms are curtailed, something the right knows a lot about.
I celebrate the 1st Amendment and Larry Flynt’s right to express his opinion, including through satire, however vile it may be. It’s why I’ve never joined a boycott against Rush Limbaugh or ever believed the answer was to pull him off the air.
