When did one of those models post here? How do you know what they want anyone to think? Do you imagine it hurts them if those pictures aren't displayed in the center of a public office building or at city hall but instead are simply something people look at in their homes? Did it occur to you they might even have an issue with reproducing those images online, possibly in violation of copyright, rather than purchasing the magazine?
Rather than continuing to make up crap and invent strawmen for the arguments by people you clearly don't respect enough to bother understanding (all 177 who rec'd Warren Stupidity's thread), just admit you don't give a shit. You sure as hell don't support the dozens of women on DU who have said they find those threads part of a hostile environment. And then there was your cruel ridicule of a survivor of repeated rape beginning from child hood. After that, I would be surprised if anyone (except for those who look for collaborators to justify their opposition to equal rights) takes seriously your lectures about "supporting women." I guess if the women are presented as disembodied rear ends and breasts they have value, but if they are full human beings with ideas, life experiences, and opinions, if they are fellow DUers, they must be ridiculed at all costs, as you did to JTFrog.
For context: JTFrog's heartfelt testimony is here. http://sync.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=4536619
