It was FUn all right. In fact, I left out the best part. There was a thread titled [I’m quoting from memory] ‘Obama’s Women Wanted War’. Now you just know I’m going to click on that, right? Well according to the article, Hillary, Rice (UN ambassador) and a third woman—Brown, I think—pressured the peace loving Obama into war.
Where to start? First, even on DU many pointed out the pure pansy loserdom of blaming such a decision on a gaggle of gal.
Second, a couple of timid, die-hard supporters expressed hope Obama might yet rise above his ‘women’.
Third, some pointed out that the phrase, ‘Obama’s Women’ sounds like a harem and is sexist (this is DU, right?).
Lastly—and this is something I have never, ever seen on DU—women were disparaged. Specifically, it was pointed out that they are no more peace-loving than men. This is the equivalent, for a liberal, of a vegetarian praising the tenderness of veil. I’m pretty sure those posts were deleted after I left. So much heresy can’t be allowed in one night. But the mods had their hands full and then some, so they can be forgiven for allowing the posts to remain up longer than a minute or two. ;)
LOL! That’s great. I’m trying to work the nerve up to go over there.
That thread btw, ‘Obama’s women...’ (or whatever) was also posted here yesterday.
