Hillary Clinton Echoes Sanders in Last Bid Before Iowa Caucuses
Making her closing argument to Iowa caucus-goers, Clinton now cloaks her detailed policy plans in Sanders' outraged rhetoric, whose liberal campaign has given him a lead in the New Hampshire contest that follows.
http://www.haaretz.com/world-news/u-s-election-2016/1.700645
AP - Seeking victory in Iowa, Hillary Clinton has begun channeling the economic indignation of her rival, Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, whose unapologetically liberal campaign has tightened the race ahead of Monday's caucuses and given him a lead in the New Hampshire contest that follows.

Making her closing argument to Iowa caucus-goers, Clinton now cloaks her detailed policy plans in Sanders' outraged rhetoric. Pharmaceutical pricing "burns" her up. Companies that take advantage of the tax loopholes get her "pretty riled up." And she promises to "rail away" at any industry that flouts the law.

"I'm going after all of them" she declared in Davenport, her tone escalating to a shout. "When I talk about going after those companies, those businesses, those special interests, I have a much broader target list than my opponents."

The former secretary of state's fiery new tone underscores a strategic decision to co-opt some of the political style from the insurgent candidate who has galvanized the Democratic party and put her long-held lead in jeopardy. It comes as a new poll released Saturday night by the Des Moines Register and Bloomberg News showed the two candidates locked in a neck-and-neck race.


Well, we all knew she's the do-anything, say-anything candidate. But it's getting a little comical.

Hillary, faking indignation is not the same as HAVING indignation.

and this:
Pharmaceutical pricing "burns" her up ...
"I'm going after all of them" she declared in Davenport, her tone escalating to a shout. "When I talk about going after those companies, those businesses, those special interests, I have a much broader target list than my opponents."


Don't these "Pharmaceuticals", "those businesses, those special interests" donate to her campaign and hire her for speeches? Rhetorical question.

So basically, she's feigning outrage (Clinton deception) at the companies she and the Clinton Foundation have taken millions of dollars from to pander for votes.

Vintage Hillary.

63. This thread is sexist
Mon Feb 1, 2016, 10:13 AM
Feb 2016

There is so much evidence out there that women are heard differently than men. There is even research that shows that people judge women as talking a lot more than they actually do - e.g. people watching videos of kids talking would often say that the girls talked more than the boys, but when an actual word tally is done, it is shown that the boys out-talked the girls - an indication that underlying cultural biases about women needing to be silent and letting men do the public talking, are still very much alive. A corollary of this is the meme that women's voices are shrill or that women are loud.

Stuff like this is one of the reasons why I cannot "feel the Bern." While he has the support of many good progressives, including many of my friends, it is also clear that quite a bit of his support comes from people who have deep-seated sexist attitudes, often without them even realizing it.

Ugh.

I don't want to be rude, but you are repeating the same question over and over, and I already provided warrants for my assertion in my original response. But for the sake of getting through to you, here it is again: to determine whether something is sexist, context matters. My post clearly said that women are often accused of speaking too much, too shrilly, or too loudly. The patriarchal expectation behind that is that women should shut up. Therefore when I see repeated "discussions" of Hillary being too shrill or too loud, it is clear to me that this is a sexist meme. Yes, men can get loud too - indeed, all too often. But men are traditionally expected to be the ones who do the talking, so they don't get as much flak for it. Especially not white men.
