1. Is this a repost?
It must be because I thought this has been the case for a few months now.

3. No, it's not a repost. But the VERY FIRST TIME I even remotely
say something that comes close to criticizing Hillary, all of a sudden after 43 years on this planet, I'm a sexist.

Whatever.

2. I'm so terribly glad that she's not going to be our nominee.
There's something there that's way too close to the Bush strategy for dealing with criticism: you've never made any mistakes, and any complaints are the fault of the critic.

6. God damn that shit pisses me off. I can't participate honestly on
this board without drawing fire on false perceptions.

My 5000th post is coming quick. Maybe I should use it to say goodbye.

sexist."

15. ROFL --- ANOTHER thread????
I probably came the closest and even "I" never called YOU a sexist. I said that could be one of many options for why some people are claiming Hillary "blew her top". I said that before I even knew YOU were one of them. You grabbed it and kneejerked all the way to another thread. What is the point of all this flapping and nashing of teeth in yet another thread? You couldn't post this in the other thread you started?

22. Ok, I'll give you that. I'll go back and re-read for context. If you
know me, if you recognize my nick when you see it, you know that I'm not usually given to outbursts or controversial POVs. And, when I am wrong, I admit it.

I just cannot stand honest discussion being railroaded by erroneous charges of hidden agenda.

18. NO! It's not semantics! No one called YOU a sexist. "I" was referring to the MSM talking heads.
NOT you. YOU didn't even enter my mind.

12. Why not?
Being critical of Obama has meant you're a racist for quite some time on this board.

25. That's not true.
Personally, I think that there is a lot to criticize her about. But saying she was shrill and angry last night is a mis-representation of what was obviously a passionate candidate. And Edwards responded in much the same way, and there is nary a "He's so Shrill and Angry!" post about him at all.

It shows that there are gender stereotypes working against Hillary. Trust me, I think that she is the worst of the bunch in the Democratic camp right now, but there is unfair criticisms of her all the same. And it does bother me.
