Sexist coverage of Hillary brings women to her corner

It’s so bizarre to realize that most of these Democrats have no clue about either candidate’s positions, agenda, voting records, etc. All they see is race or gender. I had a woman from New York City (where they’re oh-so-sophisticated) tell me the other day that, “You have to vote for Hillary because the only other choice is a n-——r”. I figure this ignorant woman thought she was talking to a Southerner so her comment wouldn’t raise my hackles. Boy, was she wrong!

[Cagey]

I’ve watched television coverage of her at rallies and it seems that whenever she makes eye contact with a supporter she just goes into that “bug eyed pretend I love you and I’m so glad you are here” look which the cameras constantly catch.

When someone is not genuine it’s very obvious and the camera lens does not lie.

“You have to vote for Hillary because the only other choice is a n-——r”.

I had an Illinois red neck tell me the same thing only he added that he would never vote for a woman either. Who will the racist women hating rats vote for now that the white male (male?) candidate John Edwards is gone?

"Typically, Hillary looks like a crazy person, her mouth agape, her eyes as bug-eyed as the runaway bride’s."

And that's what makes it so easy for the press to come up with pictures like that!

[SIDENET]

A nation of white men did not identify with and feel mortified by the Dean scream. Lots of women identify with and feel mortified by the Hillary “cackle” replays, or the derisive “first wife” jokes.

Well, too damn bad. It's not my fault if some moron "identifies" with that bugeyed hag.

Nice dig by the author at the good old bogeyman of "white men", BTW.

[Emmett McCarthy]

Funny how the rock-solid ignorant bigotry seems to come from those “enlightened northern states”. It reminds me of the Randy Newman album that came out sometime around “72-74 entitled “Rednecks”.

[Paleo Conservative]

But not enough to counteract all the DemocRAT white men going to Obama. It wasn't the black vote that crushed Hillary in Nebraska and Washington.

Louisiana

Barak Hussein Obama 57%
Hillary Rodham Clinton 36%

Nebraska

Barak Hussein Obama 68%
Hillary Rodham Clinton 31%

Washington

Barak Hussein Obama 68%
Hillary Rodham Clinton 32%

Virgin Islands

Barak Hussein Obama 90%
Hillary Rodham Clinton 7%

You can take a bad photo of someone, but you're correct. Cameras don't lie.

I got these shots of Bush, and this is really what he looks like. The deranged photos of Hillary are, IMHO, really what she looks like.

Such as ...

[GinaLolaB]

Today I had the misfortune of overhearing the “This Week with George steffy show.” On it, Mr. Spock’s Vulcan brother, Sam Donaldson made a very sexist remark against Ann Coulter. He said, “On her next book, she will probably be naked on the cover just to sell her book.” I bet that Sam (spock) Donaldson will not get suspended like Shuster did.

[Iron Munro]

The mere fact that the mainstream media is publishing uncomplimentary photos and making critical observations about her shows that the Clintons have finally jumped the shark.

The mainstream media pandered to them and kissed up to them for 15 years.

They wouldn't dare be critical of the Clintons now if they believed there would be a payback.

They don't think Hillary will win or they would not be speaking out.
That is why they are all jumping on the bandwagon.

And it will become more brutal.
The media knows they sold their souls and lost their credibility by bowing to the Clintons for 15 years.

Now they are bitter because they are exposed as corrupt fools who were played by a couple of second rate grifters.

"..It’s one thing for a bunch of women to sit around lamenting or joking about themselves. It’s something else again when a bunch of men with microphones on TV - no woman in sight - start doing it..."

Sing, Sob Sister Sing!!

[Ann Archy]

Look.....this “PIMPED OUT” phrase wiped the BIG scandal off the news...Just WHERE DID HILLARY GET THE 5 MILLION DOLLARS she “LOANED” to her campaign?

[Miss Behave]

Bump!

[goodnesswins]

HAHAHAHA.....hey, I thought I’d better tell you I stole one of your comments off another thread and put it on my Facebook....this one....(hope you don’t mind)

Republicans and conservatives are discussing their candidates ideology, ethics, policy, attitudes about enforcement of the law, spending, social issues, etc.

Democrats and lefists [!-redundancy alert-!] are discussing their candidates sex, skin color, appeal to various victim groups and the scope and amount of taxpayer funded handouts they promise their supporters.

[Ann Archy]

RELEASE YOUR TAX FORMS, HILLARY!!! Obama asked you nicely, now he must DEMAND it!

[Stimpson_J_Cat]

I always thought the bug-eyed gape-mouthed look was the media’s attempt to make her look like a strong woman.

It’s like, when I see those pictures I am personally horrified, but I imagine millions of feminists looking at her and smiling and clenching their fists and whispering, “You go, girl!”

[Allegra]

Yes, but when the end comes, will she take Mussolini's lead, cross dress and attempt to escape the country without anybody recognizing her?

Her ankles will give her away.

My son-in-law tried to get me one for Christmas but they were sold out. Instead, I got a more practical gift, a Hillary Clinton toilet bowl brush. My daughter commented that I would have the cleanest toilet in town.

If the press had any guts you would have seen this headline this morning;

Hillary Melts In Kansas
A bucket of cold water for her campaign

And they would have quoted someone saying "It was like a house fell on her".
