Writing for USA Today Tuesday night, Fox News contributor Kirsten Powers proved once again that she is probably the last intellectually honest Democrat left in America, coming to Bill O'Reilly's defense against folks on the left labeling him "sexist" for recent comments he made criticizing State Department spokesperson Jen Psaki.

"With all due respect ... that woman looks way out of her depth. ... It just doesn't look like she has the gravitas for the job," O'Reilly said in a segment.

Since the words left his mouth, leftists have been frothing at the mouth, eager for another witch hunt. Shouting from her official Twitter account, the department's deputy spokesperson Marie Harf labeled O'Reilly as lacking "intelligence and class" and then proceeded to underline her claims from the State Department podium, telling reporters that O'Reilly used "sexist, personally offensive language that I actually don't think (he) would ever use about a man."

Powers classified her comments "juvenile" and "irresponsible."She wrote:

Sexism is a serious problem and a serious accusation. It's true there are many people who dismiss women as unserious and out of their depth not because they are, but because they are women. Bill O'Reilly isn't one of them.

I know. As a Fox News contributor, I've worked with him for eight years, including weekly segments where we often disagree heatedly. O'Reilly does not discriminate when it comes to expressing tough judgments. Anyone with a passing familiarity with his work knows this, which is what makes Harf's accusation so irresponsible.

To support her claims, Powers cites the incident where O'Reilly harshly criticized Washington Post columnist Dana Milbank, calling him "beneath contempt" while expressing dismay that "The Washington Post would employ a guy like that."

"Democrats have become so trigger happy with the "war on women" charge that they find sexism lurking behind nearly every disagreement," said Powers. "It's a toxic tactic to silence anyone who disagrees."

Powers went further, focusing her crosshairs on Democratic National Committee Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz, who last week compared Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker's opposition to the Democratic party to domestic abuse.

"Republican Tea Party extremists like Scott Walker … are grabbing us by the hair and pulling us back," Wasserman Schultz said at a Milwaukee roundtable. "Walker has given women the back of his hand. I know that is stark. ... But that is reality."​

Wasserman Schultz later admitted her words may have been too harsh, but as Powers pointed out, Democrats' failure to differentiate between sexist realities like domestic violence and political disagreements "diminishes the real problem of sexism, misogyny and domestic abuse," and "if disagreement is violence, if everything is sexist, then eventually nothing will be."
