NYT Feminists Still Giddy About Hillary's Chances In 2016: Any Gender Problems Have Been 'Wiped Out' By Tim Graham Created 05/26/2013 - 7:52am
Politico’s Katie Glueck reported two feminists who’ve written opinion columns for The New York Times are still giddy about Hillary Clinton’s chances in 2016. Benghazi, schmengazi.
Appearing Thursday at the liberal Center for American Progress, former Times columnist Anna Quindlen asserted any gender-related problems Hillary encountered in previous races have been “wiped out,” and her gender would only be an asset if she runs in 2016.
“I think the gender issue as a problem or a deal breaker — ‘Can we have a woman as president of the United States?’ … it was wiped out,” Quindlen said. “It was wiped out when she ran and nearly won in 2008, and it since has been even further wiped out by her performance as secretary of state.”
Feminists don’t want to hear anything about four Americans dying because the female Secretary of State somehow failed in her duties. That ought to at least slow down liberals from saying Hillary’s allegedly stellar performance has “wiped out” any concerns about her competence, irrespective of gender.
“I think there will be many issues around her candidacy if she runs in 2016,” Quindlen continued. “I do not think her gender will be one except that there will be a whole bunch of women quietly saying, ‘Yay,’ every day [until] the election.”
Current Times columnist and former editorial page editor Gail Collins was eager to agree:
“When she ran for the Senate, … you’d see these mobs of women, … many of them tended to be middle-aged. I took from them a sense of excitement about the idea that you can have your life, raise a family, … maybe then, once when the kids are gone, you can have some amazing thing — not just another job or degree but just some spectacular adventure,” Collins said. “That seems to me to be the great Hillary message that just resonates with women of a certain age.”
The event was tied to the 50th anniversary publication of Betty Friedan’s feminist manifesto “The Feminine Mystique.” Collins wrote a new Introduction, and Quindlen wrote an Afterword.
She could call a press conference with Satan, and the two of them eat live babies, and it would not matter to these people.
Hillary! has blood on her hands. If she is even the Dem nominee, it will be obvious that our country has been dumbed down to the point of extinction of the American Dream.
empty heads? yes
Discount her?
DONT!!! watch out for her....the idiots who voted in zer0 are still as dumb as they were in 2012....
and if the Republicans RINO out again like I expect they will, we are doomed to 4 more years of another Keynesian buttwad.
Who cares about her gender, what about her character?
Indeed—It’s a great comfort knowing that we can count on objective, unbiased reporting from the media.
uniformed voters and MSM imprimatur will be all it takes for the wicked beyotch of the east to be the new zer0 and continue his Marxist march into 3rd world status for America.
I never mentioned her gender....could care less.
I would vote for Sarah Palin in a NY minute.
Just look at Hillary, then count the steps on Air Force One. She couldn’t climb them now, much less in four more years.
Why did Hillary leave as Secretary of State? Did she go willingly?
This is reality, as seen through their Weltanschauung “world view”.
“The fundamental cognitive orientation of an individual or society encompassing the entirety of the individual or society’s knowledge and point of view, including natural philosophy; fundamental, existential, and normative postulates; or themes, values, emotions, and ethics.”
In other words, their *entire* reality is seen through the lens of radical feminism vs. masculinity, a dichotomy in their minds between good and evil.
Others among the left have a Weltanschauung based entirely on race. Or “inequality”. Or radical environmentalism. Or a mish-mosh of all of them.
The bottom line is that such people are “defective units”, incapable of intellectual or emotional growth. Stunted, with perhaps a rare epiphany that normal people experienced in elementary school.
For example, Hillary, when her mother died, achieved such a petite epiphany, blurting out that “for the first time in her life, she had realized that there was something more important.”
It must be horrible to live like such people. Defining all of reality to fit some small prejudice. It’s no surprise that the concept of God is so beyond them.
GID = Gender Identity Disorder...The actual mental illness affecting the P/M crowd.
One can only hope.
The Butcherous “Babe” of Benghazi can get away with anything — except crossing her muslim masters.
Bring it on, if you want a feminist war.
