Yeah, if it was a guy you would call it a witch-hunt, but you wouldn't call him a witch, or the male equivalent, whatever that is. But with this woman anything goes, I guess.

No, there's plenty of misogyny taking place here.
You're absolutely right. I noticed it too, but I didn't say anything because I didn't want the conversation to derail into a huge tangent about sexism and misogyny and people attempting to justify how they're totally not being sexist and it's just this woman that they'd use those terms to describe.

It's no different than when Belinda Stronach crossed the floor and many posters here called her a "whore" and a "power-hungry slut" and similar, and then, after being called on it, claimed that they would have used the exact same language if it had been a male MP. Right.
