And they talked about Hillarys tone of voice.
I can't believe how many people in the MSM talked about the tone and the sound of Hillarys voice. Not a word about Star Sarah though is there? I can't believe no one has said anything.

I swear, if I have to listen to that nasal, sarcastic voice one more time I'm going to go nuts. The sound of her voice is one of the worst sounds I've ever heard.

How does anyone listen to that? It's like Gladys Kravits meets Mini-fucking-Mouse.

It's killing me, please make her stop, just make her stop.

MY EARS ARE BLEEDING.

1. Fingernails down a blackboard! I hate to be so petty but you are
so right! To add insult to injury, it's not just how she says it, it's what she says.

30. "It's like Gladys Kravits meets Mini-fucking-Mouse." LOL! Exactly what I was thinking.
I haven't found it in me to listen to her all the way through yet and doubt I ever will. Thank god for the mute button!

35. No kidding. A minute into her speech and I'm diving for the mute button.
I swear, I wouldn't have any idea what she said if it wasn't for DU.

39. Hmm. Nobody, in all these four years, ever called me out for complaining
about Dubya's voice, but suddenly it's not okay to complain about Sarah Palin's voice.

No one talks about McCain's nasally voice or Obama's constant "umming"
No one talks about Edwards's syruppy throaty drawl or Giuliani's whiny pervert-on-the-subway pinchy whine.

But when a woman is strong like Clinton or Palin, then her voice is just so damn naggy and nasal. You know, because "She's such a bitch".

15. There has been much criticism here of Obama's "ummmm."
Coming mostly from Clinton supporters, but it did happen quite a bit here.

I don't think the OP's comment is worthy of a cry of sexism, in fact it's rather annoying that that canard keeps rearing its ugly head. It dilutes the reality of that most grievous charge.

20. Having a nasally voice is not a "most grievous charge". It's flummery.
They are so corrupt on so many counts and so wrong on so many issues, I have to wonder why we keep coming back to the distraction issues that only make Dems sound snarky. You don't win votes or motivate volunteers griping about somebody's voice quality. You only alienate millions of swing voters from southern Minnesota and the Dakotas who also talk with that invisible clothespin on their midwestern snouts.

22. I'm talking about your charge of "sexism."
Edited on Fri Sep-05-08 05:42 PM by AtomicKitten
Nobody is arguing that the quality of her voice is important; it is merely observational. This is a message board where all kinds of things are discussed.

I just don't agree that commenting on her voice is sexist. In fact, I think McBush sounds like a whiny biotch too.

40. I have been complaining about the sound of the Chimperor's voice for years.
I can't listen to him. Not even for a minute.

I find Obama's voice rich and soothing, so nothing for me to complain about there.

12. I'm with you on the one AK.
I'm sorry if I'm coming off personal here, but I just can not stand the sound of that womans voice. For anyone out there that wants to call me sexist, or might say that I wouldn't say this about a men. Every single time Joe Liarman opens his mouth I want to cover my ears. Oh yeah, and I hate Lindsy Ghrams voice as well.

17. Me, too, and I am a woman.
She sounds like a chipmunk to me. Even if she weren't so nasty, I still couldn't stand to listen to her. What do men see in her? Her personality negates her looks.

45. I am very glad to hear that.
Some otherwise sound and responsible men seem to lose their intellectual abilities when confronted with a woman like her. It is very discouraging, not only from the standpoint of intellectual breakdown but also from the standpoint of taste.

18. Their voices are dripping with sarcasm, red meat for the base, but otherwise unattractive.
It does provide a stark contrast with Obama-Biden's upbeat take on things.

Hey, I've missed you around here. Quit being a stranger. :)

25. I've been much more of a reader of late.
But I'm starting to get into the swing of things again. Just joined a local Obama supporters group, and I've applied to be a battleground state campaign worker.

Funny, I never have much to say if I'm not out there doing something.

Great to see you too, and thanks for the nice post in the JRE forum. :hi:

19. To my ears, two sounds are coming out at the same time
I know this might sound weird, but...

I hear the fingernails-on-chalkboard sound that everyone complains about, but that's not as bad as the lower pitch that I can hear simultaneously. That lower pitch literally gives me a headache, and has every time I've heard her speak for more than a few minutes. (It's a thicker, duller noise, and it produces the kind of headache you might experience at the onset of the flu. I'm not kidding about any of this.)

33. That nasal quality drives me right up the frackin' wall.
I mean it. I cannot tolerate hearing that awful woman speak. If she ever speaks to the press, I'll read whatever bilge she spewed.

I'm so ashamed that she is an American.

21. Hillary's voice is golden compared to Palin's. And let's face it,
Hillary was on the campaign trail for so long that she got hoarse. At times she had to speak more loudly just because the softer register wasn't working anymore. Palin's voice is just godawful screechy to begin with.

Hillary never screeched. She might have hollered a bit when she had to but she NEVER screeched.

And I am STILL just SO offended that these GOP creeps want to compare Palin to Hillary.

I've always thought she sounded rather strong and in control.

44. How do you get sexism from not liking someone's voice?
That's just running around with a chip on your shoulder.

I despise listening to both George W. McCain and John W. Bush. Hell, I don't overly like Kucnich's voice and I really like him.

This is equal to a black person going ballistic over being offered a slice of watermelon as it's being sliced up. It's really being that sensitive.

Dick Palin's voice is grating and I don't see how anyone can tolerate to listen to her.
