My wife (a long-ago graduate of a Seven Sisters college) asked me about Steve Bannon, because she got an email with the following:

Seven Sisters Presidents Post Open Letter to Stephen Bannon

Presidents of seven historically women’s colleges, jointly referred to as the Seven Sisters, posted on Monday an open letter to Stephen Bannon, the former executive chairman of the Breitbart News Network and a recently appointed senior counselor to President-elect Donald J. Trump’s administration.

The letter makes reference to a comment Mr. Bannon made in a 2011 interview in which, the letter says, he “disparaged lesbians, feminists, and alumnae of the historic Seven Sisters Colleges” using a crude slang word for lesbians.

Once we actually listened to the interview excerpt, she realized how awful the purported "open letter" was. Bannon's remark was completely taken out of context. What Bannon had to say was all true, even the bit about "dykes from Seven Sisters colleges" hating women who are conservative.

This is the political correctness that is now off the table.

Reading the actual quote, you discover that he called no one a “bunch of dykes”.

They think that after surviving his own attempted takedown by candid audio, Trump is gonna fire Bannon over THIS?

What do you call an attractive girl at Wellesley College? “Visitor.”

No, he did not call “women” anything. He called a particular subset of “women” what they in fact are. In fact, some of them march down Main Street under that very banner in every Pride Parade.

-—Before taking over the Trump campaign as its CEO in August, Bannon ran the “alt-right” political site Breitbart News, which was known for its over-the-top headlines attacking women and minorities.-—

Wow...a complete bold face lie...

Ok, let’s play the same game. Anybody who has ever uttered something derogatory about any female is a sexist chauvinist pig. Including all Ann Coulter and Sarah Palin critics. Everyone on SNL I am afraid. All liberal politicians likely. Essentially everyone.

Good thing the Left has never engaged in hyperbole to make a point.

At least they’re not “deplorable” dykes.

I don't care.

I've called them worse, when I was in a bad mood.

Not saying it's right, just saying I don't care. I think we have been called far far worse by the democrats and the media.

If you would prefer to only line up every single perfect person on the planet for Trump to choose from, it would be a very short line.

Too bad for them that these stupid alt-right people never actually say the nasty stuff the alt-left says they say!
