1. Touche!! Nice touch
I doubt Obama cares much about the daily operation of DU but he has the lunatic fringe vote wrapped up.

2. Nope.
And unlike Clinton's race-baiting, Obama rejects sexism.

4. Where is your proof of sexism
its the other way around
as per Ohio Exit polls
"It is worth noting, as Strickland does, that there was some data in the exit polls that suggested bias on gender, as well as race, lines. As much discussed yesterday, of the fifth who said race was important, three quarters voted for Hillary. Of the fifth who said gender was an important factor in their decision, 60% voted for Clinton, 40% for Obama -- presumably indicating some degree both of solidarity and of sexism."

5. I don't need any proof. I didn't make a statement.
I asked a question.

6. I know what you are getting at
you are trying to play a little game
the 20% who cared about race 75% of that voted for her, meaning that racism is working for her, and if the sexist angle is working. Its to her benifit because 20% that care about gender 60& are voting for her, meaning they are voting for her just because she is a woman
So that fair is fair comment is just your snarky response trying to make light. The link you have to Hillary using racism is legitimate yours is not

11. The link I posted was to another DU thread titled
Is Clinton counting on white supremacy to win?

I think it only fair that another thread countering it be posted in GD:P.

And, for heaven's sake, learn how to punctuate!

7. No, but Hill demanding women be fired apparently is her way to win.

9. Turnabout is fair play.
Of course, there are no rules in politics, love and war, except those that impede a woman's chance at the presidency. The sexism in this country and especially on DU has really turned me off lately.

10. Only sexism I see against Obama?
Voting for a woman just because its a woman is still sexism, don't you think
Look at the numbers I posted in prior on this thread
