Um. Does anyone else find it creepy that Hillary jokes about averting her eyes from shirtless

"hot" young men?

#1. She is 68 years old. So what is the message here. That if she looks at them, she is going to be too hot to continue?

#2. Imagine ANY male politician saying that.

#3. Just don't take any thing else off. Yuk yuk yuk. Meanwhile I will avert my eyes from your eye candy.

#4 Because if a 68 years old woman eyes continue to look at your 32 year old eye candy then I will be totally flustered.

It seems more likely you're looking for a reason to be offended.

Playboy interview. Lost a lot of votes because of it.

So silly in hindsight.

"A man goes home and masturbates his typical fantasy. A woman on her knees. A woman tied up. A woman abused. A woman enjoys intercourse with her man — as she fantasizes being raped by three men simultaneously …. Do you know why the newspapers with the articles like ‘Girl, 12, raped by 14 men’ sell so well? To what in us are they appealing?’’

Tell us, Bernie. What prompted you to write those words? Hmmmmm?


Mods and alerters...these are Sanders' EXACT words. Not my conjecture. Here is the link to the facts.

written forty-four years ago at a time when American society was undergoing a sexual revolution, radical changes in attitudes toward sex. Bernie was an intellectual, trying to analyze some of the attitudes he saw around him.

Your jolly little suggestions are uncalled-for and bordering on libel.

As a gay man, I sense it instinctively from miles away. So, that's what I think.

You, a gay man, are using the "lesbian" canard as an implied slur against a political candidate you don't support.

That's creepy..

It's OK for women of ALL ages to find human bodies attractive.

Don't know if/how you were taught shame about that. That's a pity.

It's a normal and lovely thing for women...no matter what their age....to take pleasure in the human form.



Take your sexist shaming elsewhere.

Let the other party be the party of the Mrs. Prunella, doily-clutching church lady types.

Best thing for Hillary is to loosen up and show some humanity, and joking around doesn't hurt either.
