James Hirsen uses his March 12 Newsmax column to attack Jane Fonda and Gloria Steinem for committing the offense of criticizing Rush Limbaugh’s misogynistic remarks about Sandra Fluke and others through what Hirsen called a “hit piece” on the CNN website. He complains that Fonda and Steinem “compare Limbaugh to Nazi propagandist Josef Goebbels, criticizing him for using the term ‘femi-nazi.'”
After rehashing the usual decades-old “Hanoi Jane” attacks, Hirsen concludes:
Interestingly, while expressing disdain over the use of the term “femi-nazi,” Fonda and her cohorts have illustrated why Rush’s coined phrase for radical feminists has a ring of truth to it, since they are choosing to follow in the footsteps of totalitarian dictators who seek to silence those with whom they disagree.
In fact, Limbaugh has used “feminazi” to describe pretty much any non-conservative woman he disagrees with.
