Following their November 2 electoral melt-down, the Sisterhood and the rest
of the radical Left lapsed into bitterness and despair. Sensing that Middle
America is turning a cold shoulder on their socialist agenda, the rad-fems
have now unleashed a last-ditch campaign of intimidation, accusations, and
threats.

On January 9, former Indiana representative Tim Roemer announced he was
running for the top post of the Democratic National Committee. Many believed
Roemer was exactly the boost the wilting Democratic Party needed - someone
with a moderate ideology, fresh ideas, and Midwestern roots. But there was a
slight problem: Mr. Roemer is a Catholic, and his resume' revealed a
pro-life voting record.

That was more than the pro-abortion jihadists in the Democratic Party could
stomach.

With cat-like stealth, "they" put together an "opposition
research memo,"
pol-speak for a smear campaign. I put "they" in quotation marks because no
one was willing to admit who perpetrated the hatchet job.

Next, Nancy Keenan, incoming president of NARAL Pro-Choice America (that's a
feel-good name, isn't it?) powered up the feminist buzz-saw. She ordered
NARAL's state affiliates to pressure the 447 DNC delegates to toe the
pro-abortion line.

Roemer is as feisty a politician as you will get. But the NARAL activists
turned his abortion views into a single-issue litmus test, and soon he was
forced to withdraw. An angered Roemer later commented they "tried to make
abortion the radioactive anvil that hung around my neck.They threw two
kitchen sinks at me."

Then just five days after Roemer announced his DNC candidacy, Harvard
president Lawrence Summers made a comment that "innate differences" between
the sexes may account for why top science positions are filled mostly by
males. Sitting in the audience was one MIT professor Nancy Hopkins. Upon
hearing his remarks, Hopkins nearly swooned and had to exit the room.

The Fearsome Felines became so enraged over Summers' suggestion that they
mounted a campaign designed to embarrass and humiliate the Harvard
president. Summers soon confessed to his ideological revisionism and
commenced a round of self-criticism. But that wasn't enough, and now the
N.O.W operatives are calling for a complete ideological cleansing.

Dismayed by the Soviet show-trial atmosphere at Harvard, civil-liberties
lawyer Harvey A. Silvergate remarked, "The modern university is the
culmination of a 20-year trend of irrationalism marked by an increasingly
totalitarian approach to highly politicized issues."

The missteps of Roemer and Summers were bad enough, but after all, they were
made by members of the male oppressor class. What really stirs up a cat
fight, though, is when a woman - a woman! - hisses at the Sisterhood.

That's what happened on February 13, when the Los Angeles Times ran a piece
by Charlotte Allen. Commenting on the dearth of female intellectuals, Allen
explained, "Ideological feminism has ghettoized and trivialized the subject
matter of women's writing."

The feminist catechism does not take well to apostasy, and it fell to one
Susan Estrich to deliver the ex-communication. Estrich is the ultra-liberal
University of South California law professor who likely would have been John
Kerry's first nomination to the United States Supreme Court.

First, Estrich broadcast a thermonuclear e-mail accusing the Times of
"blatant sex discrimination" and calling for a quota for female columnists.
Worst of all, she branded Miss Allen a "feminist-hater." Off with her head!

Then in an exchange of e-mails with opinion-page editor Michael Kinsley,
Estrich pulled out every intimidation tactic in the book. She threatened to
approach the LA Times advertisers. She accused the Times' male editors of
"unconscious discrimination"  -- how's that for the mother of all guilt
trips?

And then showing incredibly bad taste, she suggested that Kinsley's health
"may have affected your brain, your judgment, and your ability to do this
job." But Kinsley refused to give in to Estrich's sourpuss demands.

Estrich made a slight miscalculation, though - she cc'ed her hot-head
threats to the Examiner. This past Saturday the Examiner published the
entire acerbic exchange.

Now, the cat is out of the bag, so to speak. Let's just say that Susan
Estrich is no longer on anyone's short list for the U.S. Supreme Court.

Anyone who has had dealings with the rad-fems knows how they rely on every
type of psychological, social, and legal manipulation to get their way. Give
them an inch, and they take a mile. In the past, these machinations took
place behind closed doors, so the public remained in the dark. But now,
their storm-trooper tactics have come out of the closet, for all the world
to see.

Hooray for editor Michael Kinsley and all the other men and women who Just
Say No to the feminist bullies.
