Poll - Was throwing money at Hillary's motorcade at the fundraisers "SEXIST" or a valid commentary?

[Baobab]

Some bloggers and media pundits are trying to claim (continuing the theme from the other day) that throwing one dollar bills at the motorcade was akin to throwing dollar bills at strippers making the demonstration against money in politics an act of sexism".

In your opinion , was it 'sexist' or was it valid commentary? (and why)

[AgingAmerican]

1. Guerrilla theater

Truth to power

[restorefreedom]

2. it was free speech being spun as gender victimization

by an imploding campaign that will do anything but discuss real issues

[treestar]

3. The whole thing about the money is getting so stupid

Fundraising is something they all have to do. Bernie's just playing a game here - he knows he can't win and this is the sour grapes thing - if he really wanted to be POTUS he'd have joined the D party and worked with it.

20. It's about self enrichment, taking tens of millions from corporations

Then thinking people will believe she will hold those same corporations to account. Extreme arrogance.

[silvershadow]

4. Red herring. They know damn well what it meant.

[Kalidurga]

5. It was a cheap shot at strippers.

They aren't so desperate for money that they take dollar bills.

[Throd]

6. Valid commentary.

[k8conant]

7. That all depends--were they male or female dollars?

[snagglepuss]

8. Completely valid nt

[onecaliberal]

9. Dollars are strategically placed on male strippers as well as female. It's a ridiculous claim.

[noretreatnosurrender]

10. Valid Commentary

and that's why they had to change the subject and use the stripper reference. They are just trying to distract from what even they know is valid commentary. It was lame and everyone knows it including the Clinton supporters.

[SeattleVet]

11. Absolutely a valid commentary...

just as valid as Abbie Hoffman ad the Yippies! throwing dollar bills from the visitor's gallery at the NY Stock Exchange in 1967 (and for much the same reasons). Trading came to a grinding halt as the people on the floor scurried around trying to scoop up the free cash. There is now a glass barrier between the visitors and the trading floor.

12. Calling it sexist is sexist. nt

[Peachhead22]

13. Just Hillary (and her supporters)...

Playing the victim card and gender card...again.

If it turns some some of us off. She better learn from that. It isn't going to fly in the GE against anyone not already in her camp. She's running for the most powerful and consequential job in the world. The "He's being mean to me" approach ain't gonna fly.

If she and supporters think Bernie and her supporters are a problem. She ain't seen nothing yet. Trump, Cruz and the 'Pubs are going to be infinitely worse. And that frequent unnecessary YELLING WITH ALMOST NO INFLECTION OR NORMAL PAUSES is going to annoy the crap out of a lot of people and reinforce some stereotypes.

14. Absolutely a valid commentary.

[ThePhilosopher04]

15. Valid commentary of course.

[AgingAmerican]

16. It sent a message: "We're onto you!"

Guerrilla theater.

[mcar]

17. Where's the poll?

[99Forever]

18. What an awful thing to say about honest hard-working strippers.

Associating them with Hillary Goldman Sachs Clinton is about as low rent an insult as you can get.


Oh yeah, it was perfectly valid commentary about what Clinton stands for.

[Dem2]

19. Neither

False choice.

[cherokeeprogressive]

21. Throwing pieces of paper with pictures of Old White Guys on them at Hillary Clinton?

Sexist AND proof positive of privilege! White Male Privilege!

[jmg257]

22. Valid commentary... “I think it’s exciting to be, in effect, protesting”

Hillary Clinton Apr 6, 2016

Its actually funny some taking the YUGE leap and connecting Clinton to real strippers...as if insulting prostitutes with the whole bullshit corporate whore poutrage wasn't offensive enough.

[jwirr]

23. They seem to be a little forgetful. Hillary sent a letter out

to people asking for a $1 contribution. That is what this is all about not some stripper.

[Matariki]

24. Any criticism of Clinton is sexist.

at least according to some.
