"There's a special place in hell for women who don't help each other," said former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright in a message to young women voters at a weekend campaign event for Hillary Clinton. Clinton punctuated Albright's comment with her loud, phony laugh. Team Clinton later pointed out that Albright has used that line for years. Clinton herself described the line as "lighthearted," but pointed. Pointed? As in: Vote for Sanders, rot in hell.
Feminist icon Gloria Steinem went further than Albright when she told comedian Bill Maher that young women supported Sanders because, "The boys are with Bernie." Really, that's what she said. Later Steinem posted an apology on Facebook in which she asserted she had been "misinterpreted as implying young women aren't serious in their politics."
The incident showed that, when backed into a corner, liberals can be as sexist as any "Mad Men" advertising executive.
Bill Clinton got into the act, too, on Sunday when he complained about Sanders' male supporters' "sexist" remarks against Hillary Clinton. Yes, Bill Clinton called "Bernie's Bros" sexist. He apparently had no problem patronizing women for his own gratification, but when Sanders' fans mock the former first lady and secretary of state on social media, that's personal to the big dog.
I'm not saying there is no sexism in Hillary Clinton's situation. It's not right that Bill Clinton's behavior didn't dent his political poll ratings, yet it now haunts the wronged wife. If Albright, or the first lady, had refused to prop up Bubba, then perhaps he would not have survived.
Lucky for him, Democratic women stood by their man. A female aide, Betsey Wright, used the phrase "bimbo eruptions" to discredit women who blew the whistle on the Democratic presidential hopeful in 1992.
Two decades later, feminism has proved to be a double-edged sword as Hillary Clinton campaigns to be America's first female president. When the former first lady tweeted, "Every survivor of sexual assault deserves to be heard, believed, and supported," the conservative National Review promptly noted Clinton accusers were not given such benefit of the doubt.
When you say there's a special place in hell if you don't support women, MSNBC's Joe Scarborough railed Monday, "Is it only powerful women? Or are 22-year-old women who are being taken advantage of in the Oval Office not worthy of that same support?"
"Sisterhood is powerful" went the old feminist mantra. I'm not seeing that sisterhood for the other distaff 2016 candidate, Republican Carly Fiorina. Democratic women didn't rush to support sister Sarah Palin when she was the GOP running mate in 2008.
When people like Albright talk about women helping each other, they only mean women like them. Young voters have watched Clinton Democrats use feminism as a handy marketing tool that can be ditched when convenient -- then picked up again in case of emergency.
Albright, Steinem and Clinton already have spent time in that special place in hell.
This from the former Secretary of State who at an advanced age ‘discovered’ she had Jewish roots - when it was politically expedient.
Also, if I recall correctly, she stood in the Rose Garden with 2 or three other Secretaries/officials and declared they believed Bill Clinton, that he DID NOT have sex with that woman —— Monica Lewinsky.
Where is that special place in hell for high government officials that endorsed Bill Clinton’s A BJ is not sex meme?
She’s a frigging snake.
Is Madeleine Halfbright still alive? How old is she now?
Watch them discombobulate themselves.
I hate socialism, it is a ghastly political mistake (trying to pull the realm of God’s generosity as creator into the realm of politics, which can’t create anything but a farce) but I have to say there’s something charmingly disarming about Bernie. This guy has got their anti-paternalistic hair all on fire.
Special place in Hell for those who order the killing of innocent Christian Serbs.
So sad to see a bunch of post-menopausal feminists losing it.
She was alive enough for Hillary to trot her decrepit butt up to New Hampshire. If I were a New Hampshirite, I’d be packing a stake or two.
“Team Clinton later pointed out that Albright has used that line for years”
...oh I see. It’s part of her comedy routine! Shouldn’t it be followed with a ba-doom-cha?
Albright used that comment for years.
Then, when Sarah Palin was selected as McCain’s running mate, added the caveat that it didn’t apply to politics.
Now that Hillary is in a real fight for the nomination, Albright is revising the caveat saying it DOES apply to politics.
Every time I see a picture of Bernie, I think...bad breath.
I am beginning to believe that “bimbo” and “liberal female” are congruent.
Albright is indeed beyond stupid, and is a good reason to avoid quotas.
That doesn’t sound tolerant or accepting like the liberals claim to be.
Albright is right. And there is a special place in hell for everyone that votes abortion, child killing, as OK.
I don’t even have words for Madeleine Albright, at least none I could post in this forum.
Dan Bongino, former Secret Service Agent had a few things to say about Hillary the other day .... worth the read:

Last Paragraph:
This woman doesn’t belong in the White House, she belongs in a jail cell. In conclusion, I’m not angry at myself for protecting her because she’s a bad person (there are a lot of bad actors in government and their “bad” actions don’t necessarily cross over into dangerous and illegal territory). We aren’t a despotic, lawless country and, thankfully, we get rid of bad DC actors in election booths, not with firing squads. But I am angry at myself for allowing my path to cross with a bad DC actor who knowingly put the lives of innocent Americans, and brave military and intelligence personnel, in danger. She is an embarrassment to our country and I’ll never forgive myself for allowing her to stain my soul. I wish I had never met her.
Sounds like that special place Hillary will ultimately end up. Because she not only DIDN'T help women out, she actively participated in the vicious attacks on them and their character.
Such a positive and uplifting message/S
Sanders is an honest if very very mistaken liberal. He represents the world blindly groping for God.
Hillary and Madeleine... they are being witches. Malicious, don’t even stick to anything they’ve said.
If some infallible prophet told us we would have to choose between Hillary and Bernie this time around... hands down Bernie would be better. If we have to have the mistake, let it be without the malice.
Cynical self serving “feminist” who manages to demean women worse than the old patriarchal notions ever could.
