Hillary supporter Gloria Steinem stumping in Austin, Texas -
“Suppose John McCain had been Joan McCain and Joan McCain had got captured, shot down and been a POW for eight years. , ‘What did you do wrong to get captured? What terrible things did you do while you were there as a captive for eight years?’” Steinem said, to laughter from the audience.

McCain was, in fact, a prisoner of war for around five-and-a-half years, during which time he was tortured repeatedly. Referring to his time in captivity, Steinem said with bewilderment, “I mean, hello? This is supposed to be a qualification to be president? I don’t think so

I'm no John McCain fan, but this is a beyond disgusting. Someone from Hillary's campaign needs to issue an apology.

3. The Hillary campaign..."vote for me because I'm a woman".......
who needs her husband to qualify her "35 years of Experience".


There is no progress in this. rather, taking 3 giant leaps back.


sad!

11. *******UPDATE: The Clinton campaign sends over the following statement
UPDATE: The Clinton campaign sends over the following statement from Howard Wolfson: "Senator Clinton has repeatedly praised Senator McCain's courage and service to our country. These comments certainly do not represent her thinking in any way. Senator Clinton intends to have a respectful debate with Senator McCain on the issues."

21. Steinem is an impressive soul.
She backed George McGovern in 1972 when all the polls indicated a Nixon landslide.

She's also a very provocative and interesting speaker and writer.
