Fake liberal Tammy Bruce sneers at Obama and takes her ball home.

As a gay woman I know the importance of being able to assert an unpopular opinion and have been repulsed by your attempts to destroy those who dared to critique your intentions. The lives of gay people rely on a society that does not quash those who are different or who dare to challenge those in power. I find it ironic that those most committed to tolerance and individual freedom have helped elect a man who has no patience for either.

I remain concerned that it’s either extraordinarily bad judgment or hostility to this nation that drove you to choose a father figure who asks God to damn this country. I worry that the new first lady was never proud of this country until her husband seemed poised to get something out of it. I am concerned that you dismiss the greatest people on earth as bitter and clingy because they act on the Constitution and have faith in God. Yet it was the misogyny that marked your campaign against Hillary Clinton that’s especially revealing about your character.

Don’t get me wrong -- I believe you’ll bring change, the sort Joe the Plumber experienced when he committed the crime of asking you an impertinent question. The sort where governments use federal facilities and resources to investigate those who dare to speak up. During the past few months we also learned of your desire to “redistribute” wealth. This is especially disturbing, as our personal freedom, Mr. President, relies in individual financial independence -- relying on a check from anyone else, especially the government, reduces us to servitude.


Talk about sore losers! Gaze at her faux outrage about how Hillary was victimized by Obama, while not remembering her own mouth in history...

BRUCE: Well, I think we had Clinton fatigue quite a while ago. This is obviously Rodham family values. And here you've got the Boxer family, which has yet to say anything. But Nicole married this fellow, I think, pretty much knowing what she was getting, and she knew who her sister-in-law was and the nature of that marriage. I don't think anybody should be surprised.

Also, at the same time, of course, the Boxer family is not suffering. They are not living in poverty. Some people might argue that that's a heck of a lot of money to be arguing to pay someone for alimony when they are doing moderately well themselves. That's a whole another argument.

But, you know, this isn't good for Hillary's campaign. I do think it speaks about the Rodham family itself. And I think it reflects on her just like Hillary's husband reflects on her, and it's not good, neither one of them.


Oh' what's a turncoat to do these days?

1. Someday perphaps she will get over her anger at the way she perceives "the left" treated her
but so far, she's pretty unsufferable.

17. Tammy Bruce is a racist. Forced to resign as LA NOW president for racist OJ remarks
in the 1990s. She's also voted for Reagan and Dubya. That pretty much disqualifies you as a liberal.

7. Oh' no! She's a "Liberal, Progressive Democrat"
She says this everytime she's on Fux News before she goes into a tirade about Democrats. She never says anything bad about Repubs, and hardly anything good about Democrats, but then, she knows how to act to get Fox to give her a paycheck.

9. She's no liberal
At best, she's a libertarian. She may say she's a liberal but that doesn't make it so:

11. Tammy Bruce? LOL. I thought she died politically a long time ago.
The "faux-Liberal" act died YEARS ago, Tammy.

Stay with the tour.

20. Why would the Advocate let her publish her crazy letter?
Don't they have some standards? It's not even about conservative or liberal, the letter is clearly written by a nut.

23. Oh Tammy
You aren't sneered at because your opinions are unpopular. You're sneered at because you're a liar.
