So, Jason Mattera (AKA Big Sexy…someday maybe I’ll give you the dirt on that! Just kidding, Jason! That will be our little secret. For now, I’ll just let their imaginations run wild!), gave a speech at the Values Voters Summit. Of course, Campus Progress got all upset about it because Mattera said that conservative women are hotter than liberal women and that liberal women look like men, submitting Rachel Maddow as Exhibit A:

During the panel, Mattera took the David and Goliath metaphor another perverse step: If conservatives (David) smite liberals (Goliath), they will be rewarded with the hot conservative women, just like King Saul promised his daughter to the warrior who slew the evil giant. “You know his daughter must have been beautiful because there’s no guy whose gonna die for an ugly girl,” Mattera chortled. “Our women are hot. We have Michelle Malkin. Who does the left have, Rachel Maddow? Sorry, I prefer that my women not look like dudes.”

It was not too long ago we ventured down this road and had this debate before. A quick review: Matthew Archbold asked the question of whether or not there was a hotness gap. S.Logan said, “Of course conservative women are hotter!” I think she reached that conclusion by looking in the mirror. She’s pretty hot (no, I’m not a lesbian, NTTAWWT! but, the beauty of being a woman is that we can say other women are hot without having your sexuality questioned). And, Pundette started making a list of hot conservative men, to which I later added to.

Mattera, who has had an ongoing feud with Campus Progress for about four or five years, now, if my memory serves me correctly, responded today on the YAF Blog:

Posner refers to the college activism panel that I participated in at Family Research Council’s conference over the weekend. What did hot women have to do with my talk? Not much, actually, despite Posner making it the basis of her piece. It was just a casual reference—me noting that even if I weren’t an activist, I’d probably still wander to the conservative camp because our women don’t look like the picture above.

Because I know you’re wondering what picture was featured above, here it is:

WARNING: The following picture is not pretty and could be considered by some to be the anti-Rule 5.

As Jason just wrote me, “I find this whole Maddow “controversy” amusing. Moe, literally, it was a 30-second swipe out of a 15-minute talk lol. And why would they defend Maddow? I mean, she does unequivocally look like a man!!! Ideology aside!”

It’s like he forgets what we have been battling together since college. Liberals, especially those in their 20s, have been coddled their whole lives. Their ideology is dominant in our schools, entertainment, and news. They don’t think; they regurgitate. She picked up on this 30-second swipe out of a 15-minute talk because she probably didn’t understand anything else he said. Her liberal sensibilities were insulted and she couldn’t get past the emotions she felt.

Her emotional nature, as John Hawkin would call it, was insulted. As Stacy McCain said, calling a woman emotional is going to offend her and she will respond by…getting emotional. So, instead of trying to refute claims made in his talk or developing a rational argument against what Jason said, she concentrated on this one little swipe because that’s all she had the mental capacity to concentrate on and write about. She probably went home and cried about it, first. Although, Little Miss Attila might disagree with my assessment of the situation. It’s a risk I’m going to have to take.
