Campaign sexism angers women
NJ Voices ^ | 4/20/08 | Fran Wood

Posted on 04/20/2008 9:46:26 AM PDT by red state girl

Leaders of national and Pennsylvania women's organizations convened at Philadelphia's City Hall Friday to declare their support for Hillary Clinton's agenda for women and families.

It's no surprise, I suppose, that she would be endorsed by groups like the National Organization for Women, the National Women's Political Caucus, Women's Campaign Forum and Feminist Majority.

But beneath the surface of this formal endorsement lurks something else: anger and frustration at the way they perceive Clinton's treatment by the media.

Hillary wants to act like she’s got a huge pair of brass balls then her supporters claim when she’s treated like one of the boys.

WAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!

Hillary has her best success when trying to persuade people she’s a moderate, not in claiming her seat in the abrasive lesbian sisterhood.

If she comes across as Bea Arthur’s “Maude” character, she’s done. They’ve put a lot of lipstick on this pig to get her this far.

... but it is racism to support Hillary over Obama.

I guess the only thing the press can do at the debates is to give each of them a big hug. Then they can fight over who got the better hug.

Wonder how much air replay gulping down boiler makers in a bar romp with the boys will get her?

Looked like an old pro, didn't she?

These feminists were the same kind who put out the orders to Tammy Bruce to shut up when OJ murdered his ex-wife because “racism” was more important than violence against a woman.

Kiss my -—, Kim Gandy.

When we stop letting these Marx inspired radicals divide people against each other, (black vs. white) (men vs. women)
(gay vs. straight) etc. we will be on the way to relcaiming freedom in this country.

Dividing people against each other makes people think they need some government program or the use of government power to make things better for them.

We need to be free to make our own decisions about our lives and our future.

The Republicans are anxious about the Dim primaries too. It won't be until DimCon '08 that they learn if they are essentially racists or sexists.

You mean those groups like the National Organization of Old Women who came to Katherine Willy’s aid? Yeah, women care what they think.

I am still astounded by that one! Do you think the bartender gave her a real shot or was it just tea? I am a woman and a drinker — beer, girlie martinis — but there is no way I could belt down even a small shot of Crown Royal without wincing and drawing in my breath. But we all know that Hitlery will do whatever it takes to grasp the reigns of power.

Next, I want to see the shot of her chewing tobacco with the boys. I do not, however, want to see the clips of her “writing” her name in the snow with the fella’s.

The kicker for me, though, is that, in her quest to appear like one of the people, she clearly does not get it, even with all of the research her people have surely done regarding us peasants.

There’s no question that most of the MSM has been strongly in the tank for Obambi but that probably reflects more enthusiasm for a leftist race-hustler who pretends to be above it all for “unity” and “change” plus chronic Clinton fatigue.

If Shrillary had somehow transformed herself into an honest, competent, endearing candidate then she might have standing to complain about sexism in the media. As it is, the ONLY reasons a junior US Senator with no discernible political accomplishments and a most annoying persona is even in the running now would be (1) because of enthusiasm for a woman candidate, and (2) because of the money, power, contacts, and legacy of the Clinton machine.

Shrillay is not as this point in the campaign on her own merits, she is her because of her gender and her husband. had she been a white male with her lack of charisma and character she’d be..... well...... Chris Dodd.

Strange to whine about sexism when it’s only leftist gender bias FOR a woman candidate that has gotten her this far.

Agree. But I would add: MSM just loves the latest fad, and Obummer is like the latest Iphone or Ipod.

"The mainstream media is contributing to the incredibly coarse nature of other media," she says. "When women are degraded in the media, it's a green light for more extreme terms that are gender-specific insults. If it's 'bitch' in print, it's the c-word on the Internet."

I guess to be fair, they should use the male equivalents for the other candidates. The word corresponding to "bitch" would be "stud". And the word corresponding to the "C-word" would be "Dick". I think they used that slur with Vice President Cheney in the last two elections.

Despite the media falling all over themselves to have a love fest for Obama, I think it is wrong to say that they have mistreated Hillary because she is a woman.

If they were to do that, the media would ignore anything she said or did, and concentrate on criticizing her clothes and hairstyle. This is what they typically do when they attack a woman because she is a woman. It is their way of belittling women.

However, in the future they will point out how they *didn’t* attack Hillary by belittling her as a woman, to show that they respect women. Which they don’t.

It was the rear view of a fat, flabby woman in a bikini with Hillary’s head photoshopped on.
