9. I'm not so sure only one team plays that field
Edited on Thu Feb-07-08 09:41 PM by Tom Rinaldo
There was a long period in the summer into fall when veiled sexist terms were applied to Hillary Clinton with astonishing regularity wherever you looked (like "shrill" and "cackle") before it became apparent that they were starting to fuel a female backlash in support of Clinton. Then there was the sudden ever present and always noted meme that every single thing Clinton did was out of "desperation". The Obama campaign even had a domain name secretly registered; "DesperateHillaryAttacks.com".

And Atlanta's Mayor did not link "fairytale", completely out of context, with Hope that Barack Obama inspires, as a put down of Bill Clinton (who referred to Obama's claim to have an unbroken ardent record of opposing the Iraq War) accidentally either.
