OK, Hillary backers: Will you at least condemn Rep. Davis (GOP) for calling Barack "boy?"
C'mon. Given the history of this nation, is that not something we can agree to condemn?

And yes, sexism has also been a blight. But can't you weigh in here and say this comment was unacceptable, whatever the context?

5. If people are saying this should not be condemned that is disgusting.
Those people are not Democrats.

8. I'm waiting for indimuse, Jackson_Dem, rodeodance and others to say no to this.
I'm probably wasting my time, but I have responded respectfully to their posts in the past.

I am waiting for reciprocity here.

2. He's not the Hillary people's responsibility
I want Mitch McConnell and the House Republican leadership to reject and denounce this blatant racism.

If not, this is just flamebait.

15. what exactly IS your problem? quite a few people have condemned it, just since I came
online today.

and WHY would you phrase it this way:And yes, sexism has also been a blight. But can't you weigh in here and say this comment was unacceptable, whatever the context?

what, exactly, was that supposed to mean?

and if you are going to say that sort of thing, then I expect condemnation from you whenever sexism rears its ugly head. "blight" indeed. what a small word for such an ugly, destructive concept.

16. Of course we condemn it. I used to think we were all on the same side until
this election. Where was the condemnation for the fucking whore remarks from Randi Rhodes? I saw outrage, outrage at her losing her job, or resigning, but not outrage at her referring to Clinton as a whore.
