I do not support Senator Clinton for President, But |
|
I am increasingly tired of MSMBC (especially Tweety) referring to the Senator as Hillary. Totally disrespectful. You would never call her Hillary if she were President, so I think they are just bad mouthing her to help to defeat her in the primaries.

2. Her own campaign uses her first name... |
|
It's become a trademark and is used to separate her from her husband in one word.
I have to say I disagree.
Of course, I'm not really a supporter either...

If she doesn't mind, then I guess the rest of us shouldn't.

4. That was her choice. I actually am more irritated by the increasing use of "Mrs.Clinton". |

12. I think that's misplaced judgement on your part. First of all, Hillary |
|
seems to prefer being called Hillary. I still remember someone stating how much of an honor and tribute that is bestowed on very few people that someone in instantly recognized by ONE NAME. Oprah, Cher, Prince, Madonna, Britney, Hillary. It's NOT disrespectful at all!

15. And the Rethug frontrunner is "Rudy" more often than not |
|
I don't think it's disrespectful but if it is, then at least the sucky MSM is playing the game the same way with both parties.
In a way, I think it's an MSM trick to get us to feel like we KNOW Hillary and Rudy better -- we're on a first-name basis with them, unlike the other candidates -- a subtle push FOR them (not disrespect).

16. Hillary, Senator Clinton or Mrs. Clinton |
|
The moniker should vary depending on the circumstances. During the debates it grates me when they call her Hillary while everyone else addresses each other as senator, mayor, governor, etc. I see it as a put down akin to the old times when in an office women were addressed by their first names while men were Mr. X.
As for Tweety, he has no business constantly addressing her as Hillary unless he calls everybody else by their first name, which is not the case. Then again, Tweety is a sexist pig.....
In the world stage Hillary is known by her first name. There is no doubt that she is one of the two most famous women in the world who are not performers. The only other woman who is equally as famous as her is Queen Elizabeth and in years past Princess Diana.

17. He calls Prez. Bush 'Bush' also. 'Clinton' still makes folks think of Bubba. Awkward, not sexist. |
|
I just don't listen to anything he has to say about either Clinton.

19. Relax. She puts "Hillary" on her campaign signs. For a while there |
|
I struggled to call her senator Clinton because I too thought Hillary was sexist (as calling all women by their first name seems to be). Then she put Hillary front and centre on her campaign literature and I gave up.
