84. Really? The gender card?

Wed May 13, 2015, 02:52 AM

May 2015

Someone else recently tried to play the gender card in just as a ridiculous manner as you just did.

I'm a woman and I think you posting that months old article at this particular time is ludicrous and completely disingenuous. I think you posted it as dig at DUers frankly. And I'm not saying that because you are a woman. I'm one too, remember?

If you feel "trashed" and "attacked" that is your own fault. You can't possibly not have realized how this would come across. It is well known how protective you are about any criticism of Obama and how you can't stand to hear any of it. Well if ever there was a time he deserved it it's now. To attempt to equate that criticism of him regarding TPP with the racist disrespect he's gotten from the right wing over the years is what is truly ugly. And to feign innocence over it all is just silly and transparent.
