Anyone who criticizes Hillary is sexist.

Let's be honest here, folks. Anyone who dislikes, disagrees with, does not trust, or even so much as does not pay rapt attention to Hillary on any subject, for any reason, must be sexist. In fact, anyone here who dislikes or disagrees with any woman within a five-mile radius is probably a closet wife-beater and longs to return to the days when women made sure they didn't have to "be told twice" about any particular issue.

Damn woman-haters.

I predict big things from this thread. :popcorn:

Yep, said poster couldn't wait to get enough posts to start a flamefest.

Kind of amateur, but I do like the faux hurt, "what me sexist" POV. Especially the "wife beater" part. :-) MKJ

sexist or women hater

an important issue.

and our damned whining. :eyes:

I'm pretty sure that not only makes me a domestic abuser (that's right, I have a painful addiction to domestics), but a sexual harasser, good ol' boy, and chauvinist pig, too. In fact, I've heard that every time I dislike something Hillary says, an angel loses its wings and goes home to drunkenly blame/beat its wife for it.

You've captured a vaguely threatening tone quite nicely. You sound like a peach.

I start a thread devoted to mocking those who use the term "sexist" as a knee-jerk reaction to something they don't like, and you've somehow managed to accuse me of being sexist for it.

I underestimated you folks. Well done.

However, it's also a cheap way to slander anyone who doesn't support Hillary. I've been accused of sexism twice here, simply for not supporting HRC.

There's a difference between not supporting Hillary for sexist reasons (which I agree would be a bad thing) and not supporting her for entirely legitimate reasons (i.e. you disagree with her policies, record or whatever). Let's try not to confuse the two.

referring to, but I agree that it's a term, like racism, that shouldn't be abused.

:sarcasm:

I just don't like her hair color... ;)

Seriously, who wears a coral colored dress to a debate. That's a faux pas waiting to happen. Kudos to Edwards for being metrosexual enough to point it out on national tv.

Did you know that the Clintons and GOP cannot attack Obama because
NBC and MSNBC will get them:

Welcome aboard. It really can be fun here.

I'm going to assume you're talking to me and you think you're funny.

the mistake Bush voters made. Gore was criticized and dumped on for what her wore, how he talked, his supposed woodiness. Bush was praised for his friendliness, likeability, humor, charm, Millions of people voted on perceived personal characteristics and we have a country almost in ruins in just 8 years.

Can we afford another 4 years like the last 8?

If we stick to substance and we can learn what we need to know in order to make a decision.

From where are the candidates getting their contributions? That would make an excellent anaysis and let us know to whom they might be beholden.

Sad comment about the level of political debate these days is the fact that legitimate political opinions sound like they come from The Daily Show.

...considering that TDS has done a much better job of pointing out the hypocrisies of the Bush administration than any show or network devoted to "serious political analysis" over the past eight years.

Politics has become self-satirising. The seemingly legitimate opinions presented by the Bush admin and their enablers are more surreal than anything a satirist could come up with.

I mean, "I know the human being and fish can coexist peacefully", how can a comedian compete with that?

if the so called "feminists" also think its sexist to vote for clinton strictly because she is a women.

references, that may make me vote for her just to piss y'all off! MKJ

because i am sure that alot of people hype her up in their own minds just because of the novelty of voting for a women or because of the historic moment in their minds of the first women POTUS. it is not entirely out of line for me to make this assumption especially since the hill crowd is going nuts pointing fingers and calling names. I think that voting for clinton because she is a women is just as sexist as not voting for her strictly because she is a women.

However i think their are way more of the former then the latter.

I disagree with several key positions of hers, the unapologetic IWR vote topping the list. However, she has been consistently supportive of those issues which are considered women's issues.

I'm leaning very much toward Edwards at this point, whom I believe is supportive of those issues, as well, and in addition is a strong labor advocate, which is extremely important to me. Yet, when I see Sen Clinton attacked and none too subtle sexism used to bolster the attacks, my "heart" kicks in, having dealt with misogyny in my personal and professional life, almost daily.

Seeing Sen Clinton stand up for herself against the "good old boy" kind of attacks to which she is being subjected inspires me to root for her.

I doubt very much that I am the only American woman who feels this way.

Whether that translates into my support for her during the primary is doubtful, but I'm not denying that it's a factor.

MKJ

yourself! :shrug:

with "plates flying in the Oval Office". The fabrication about last night's "moment" was sexist. Most of the other stuff I read about her is legit.

Maybe hatred or any antipathy for women comes from abuse by mean mothers or step-mothers.

All or nothing Bush camp?

Criticizing one of our own, a democrat, is generally totally different than criticizing Bush or the republican candidates. Those who criticize Hillary with the same venom that should be reserved for republicans only, ARE being sexist and probably have deep psychological issues that they need to address before they enter the voting booth.

We have a great line up of candidates. But none are perfect. They all deserve some criticism. But the kind of criticism that has been displayed toward Hillary over incidental and trivial things is over the top and vicious. There has also been a clear double standard. When Hillary criticizes Obama, she is being mean spirited and petty. When he does it it's smart politics.

Some here have even gone over to freeperville for ammunition towards Hillary.

"Those who criticize Hillary with the same venom that should be reserved for republicans only, ARE being sexist"

That's an absolutely astounding conclusion to draw. I guess everyone who criticizes Obama is a racist, and everyone who criticizes Edwards hates redheads. Hell, while we're making baseless accusations, I suppose that this site is full of people who don't actually have any legitimate reason to dislike Bush, they're all just senselessly biased against Texans.

:eyes:

is a racist.
