Hillary's rampant sexism is out of control…..
http://www.crooksandliars.com/Media/Play/25093/1/mj-matthews-n-hillary-010708.wmv

The demeaning and condescending “men are obsessed with me” and “baby’ comments show that Hillary has been using sexist language and behavior as tools in her campaign to deflect questions and attack her critics.

This kind of gender hatred displayed by Hillary, characterizing questions about her Iraq policy as somehow indicative of a sexual obsession with her, shows how hypocritically and cynically she’ll default to spewing sexist BS when cornered on real questions about real issues.

Check out the link, when given a clear opportunity to delineate her Iraq policy from obama’s, she has no answer but to spew sexist crap.

3. How embarrassing for Hillary’s female supporters….
Edited on Sun May-18-08 09:58 PM by TLM

To have their leader committing such sexist atrocities.

Maybe she's right about sexism being part of why she is losing... she just forgot to mention it was her sexism.

11. Why are you, incoherently, trying to change the subject to Obama...


Obama did not make hillary say what she said or do what she did.... she is an adult and she is responsable for what she says and does.

Why can't you address her words and actions?

Are you saying you support sexism?

9. No different than Obama calling a reporter 'sweetie'
Listen, these people say thousands of words a day and respond awkwardly at times to tense situations. I support Obama wholeheartedly but want fairness and healing within our party. These sorts of attacks serve no one. When asked about Hillary as a running mate, Obama manages to deflect with great skill. Deflection is not a weakness, it's a great skill. Up to the reporter to pin it down (much as he did quite effectively with Kevin James).

13. It is very very different.... Obama used a term of endearment that was too familiar.


Hillary openly characterizes the act of questioning her iraq policy as an act of sexual obsession with her.

If it was just the "baby" part... I'd agree and say that was pretty much the same as the sweetie comment. Which would still make Hillary and her supporters look like huge hypocrites.

However it is far worse than simply tossing off a demeaning name without thinking. She full on characterizes questioning her iraq policy as men having an obsession with her.

19. We will respectfully agree to disagree
I at no time heard the word 'sexual' used by her as a descriptor of men's obsession with her, furthermore, showing some form of affection for a male does not make her a hypocrite. To me, it was nothing more than affectionately acknowledging a worthy male opponent in a non-threatening manner.

23. She clearly characterized asking her about her iraq policy as men being obsessed with her.
Edited on Mon May-19-08 02:00 AM by TLM
If she's not talking about a sexual obsession, why did she make a point of specifying the gender of those she claims are obsessed. There are plenty of female reporters who have asked her about Iraq, and yet she singles out men and accuses them of being obsessed with her, and claims that is why she's being questioned about Iraq.

The tone of her voice and the incredulous demeanor make it very clear what she's doing. She's again using her gender as a foil to evade a real question about policy. She all but called him a stalker, and spun his daring to question her Iraq policy as some gender based persecution.

"affectionately acknowledging a worthy male opponent in a non-threatening manner."

She insulted him, demeaned him, and accused him of being part of some gender specific obsession with her.

If Obama did anything even remotely close to any female, reporter or not, the Hillary camp would be screaming their heads off about his sexist hatred for women and demeaning elitist attitude.

22. If only she actually Looked like the photos her fans dig up..
all I see is some old lady who reminds me of Mike Myers "verklempt" "Coffee Talk" show who runs around in obscenely colored Walmart looking pantsuits, shrieking mindless mediocre speeches, who gets caught lying On Video repeatedly, bulging her eyes out like a beached fish, pointing at people that aren't THERE like she has a "friend" at every 45 degree angle she hasn't seen for years, extolling boring platitudes that pearl wear drunk ladies used to throw at each other during my mom's Tupperware parties when I was a kid.

All I want to do is FLEE when I see her..

Having been a "factory punk" a blue collar type years ago, yes, before college.. I can tell you with great assurance that NO BLUE Collar guy will VOTE for a Woman to Run Their Lives or the Countrys..

They HATE women like her with a passion. I don't believe a word of how the media frames it..

Not going off on You, fellow DU'r, just those pics everyone of her fans posts, like she's the Prom Queen, when to me, she's a lying screeching Banshee..

I honestly don't get HOW people can fall for it, they must Identify with her, and become Borg or something, its totally puzzling.. :)

27. one day you'll come up with a reason why you feel this way
Nothing personal, but all you ever say is 'Hillary is great' or 'Hillary is nice'...this is a perfectly good opinion, but maybe one more suited for appreciation threads rather than discussion or debate threads. Your comments never seem to have anything in particular to do with the topic at hand, though this is far preferable to the snark supporters of both candidates.

Just something you might like to ponder.

25. Hillary is pandering to women when she does that.
If it were Hispanics, she'd be saying gringos are obsessed with her.
