What's the deal with Tammy Bruce?
She is new to my area.

Is she a freak, a plant, a liar or a Nerd? Or other.

1. This link should tell you
All you need to know Floogeldy

http://www.yaf.org/speakers/tammy_bruce.html

That and she writes for FrontPage, the Horowitz Hellhole.


Another useless voice in the neocon echo chamber.

2. She used to be a lefty
she was a higher-up in NOW or NARAL or one of those pro-choice organizations but has defected to the right. Now she's a right-wing dis-information specialist, preaching about the "evils" of the left to a right-wing audience.

5. I heard her radio show for the first time several weeks ago...
had no clue as to who she was and found out that she's a lesbian former NOW activist who's gone to the dark side.

I can understand selling yourself out for money, so my issue is not with her, but what I don't get is the embrace of the RW for the Tammy's of the world. Of course we all know they're intellectually challenged, but why be so blatant? Or maybe they just like the "tops" and have contempt for the rest?

Whatever, she has the IQ of hannity and is even more boring, if that's possible. I switched channels after 15 minutes of her RW crap.

So yes, she's a nerdish lying freakish plant.

8. I think it happened during OJ-mania
The OJ trial drove a lot of people insane.
She made some racist remarks and went off the deep end.
yup, just found some links, do a search for
"tammy bruce oj simpson" and you'll find a lot more.

9. Looks like she's found a new angle to cash in on
the RW hate machine. Use your "lesbian/NOW" creds to label yourself progressive, gain entre into the rarefied air of RW talkers, and then...

"And not only that—by her own admission, Bruce is a feminist, she’s openly gay, and she has “an investment in progressive politics.” In short, if you’re willing to listen to Tammy Bruce, Tammy Bruce is a screaming Dem liberal. But then, as soon as someone asks her a question, Bruce begins to trash all Dems!"

Arrrrrrgh!

7. Yea she just characterized Bush as having courage with fighting terrorism.
That's all I needed to hear.

She apparently does not know the difference between courage, stupidity, reactionary and moronic.

10. She's one of the more transparent shills.
She spouts the day's right wing talking points, that's all. She's not very good at it. Her arguments are paper-thin, and you can hear a kind of "I know I'm full of shit, but I'm hoping this will piss someone off" tone in her voice.

I used to hear her show on my Sunday commute way back when I was in college. I'd generally turn it off after 10 minutes or so, because she's just boring.
