The “Double Standard” Hillary Clinton Is Talking About

Racism trumps sexism.
Most people would not complain that women moving into the neighborhood brings property prices down.

Wright’s $1.6 million home didn’t bring downproperty values did it?

Wright’s $1.6 million home didn’t bring downproperty values did it?

Jackie, kenyan politics have nothing to do with Obama, let us avoid to be too low. The point which is important is that Clinton is the actor in all these articles, Media has not invented the Bosnian Sniper, or the lady who was not?taken care of with her still birth at a hospital in Ohio, or the Colombian CAFTA, etc. It is all Hill is making, the Bosnian general cannot stay away from media, tomorrow it is something new again. God bless America and God bless Obama.

The media Has been more favorable on Obama than on Clinton.
Obama has received more amiable Media coverage.
Even When he was catch in lies. When he did nasty things. It was never portrayed as nasty as they have on anything on Clinton.
Obvious enough that most think obama bought and paid the media off.
The man has done some despicable things
and never raked over the coals by the media.

Seah – Right said fred. You keep sayin the Truth.
There is bias against Hillary!!!
I can’t believe this Blog said “math is tough for her. Numbers aren’t sexist.” Nobody says that math is tough for men.
Now ABC says womyn can’t do math. Science will be next, I bet.
Shame on You Political Punch Blog. SHAME ON YOU. shame.

This is why a large segment of Hillary supporters will not support obama in the GE. His campaign has pushed this attitude and the MSM has picked up on it. obama comes back after a 3 days of vacation start to complaining about the campaign being like the Bataan march and then soon after all his people start coming out with “get out Hillary you cant win”. But no one except Lou Dobbs has stated that obama cant win either without the superdelegates.

Obama’s lead is small, very small. His wins are in red states due to block voting by blacks and the few times when he won a state which might go Democratic, they are not large blue Democratic centers. He has outspent Hillary 3 to 1 and 4 to 1 and still has not captured the big states. Obama is not as popular as his supporters think and the media favors him either because he is male or they are actually in McCain’s corner! Sorry, Jake, “Clinton fatigue” is an absurd reason to take potshots at a candidate!

Plus I love the video put together about the MSM sexism that is so out there and no one calls them on it. It makes me feel like I’m living in an alternate universe. Because I know that is not right but nobody acknowledges that. Its like its a big secret but I was left out of it.

Two-cats
Hillary had NO PLAN after super-Tuesday.
Barak is going to win.

If Hillary DOES things that causes negative press, WHOS FAULT is that but hers?
Bosnia, Taxes, Penn, Hospital, is ALL HER DOING!

It’s in the numbers btw that I think Hillary enormously profited from sexism; the sexism that makes women vote for a female candidate.
And don’t forget: women are the majority in our country. If it weren’t for this majority, that is particulalrly strong among Democratic voters, Hillary would have been out of the race a long time ago and Obama and Edwards would be fighting for the nomination.
So, she has no reason to complain about her sex; it has been a great benefit to her where it matters – in the numbers.
And YET the numbers are in favor Obama. But that, I’m afraid, is simply because he is the far superior candidate.
That video btw is horrible. First the victimization, then the triumphalism. I really hate that.
Hillary is being portrayed as an advocate for women all over her official site. She herself has ‘womanised’ her campaign, so don’t blame critics for taking her on as a woman. In comparison: nowhere at Obama’s site you’ll see him being portrayed as an advocate for black people.
Do I see her as ‘my advocate’? No way! The good at heart, highly intelligent, very passionate and dedicated type of woman I prefer is… Samantha Powers, who’s done nore for justice in this world than Hillary. And yes, I must admit, I even share Samantha’s feelings about the great Obama’s rather mediocre opponent.

Sexism double standards in the media?
Tell me about it
“Men in prime time television are viewed far more often than women as sources of marital discontent, as inadequate parents, and as “corrupt” and “stupid”. Respondents to a February 2007 survey indicated by a factor of over 11 to 1 that wives are portrayed more often than husbands as “justifiably dissatisfied with” their spouses and by 17 to 1 that men are more often portrayed as “corrupt”. Women were significantly more likely to be seen as intelligent (5 to 4), good looking (7 to 1), and inspiring (5 to 1). In two categories women received all the favorable responses as not a single respondent indicated that men are more often depicted as “good parents” or as “honest”.”

But I think the question is being asked because Clinton is trailing in delegates and the Democrats’ proportionally-allocated delegate system means the math is tough for her.
Numbers aren’t sexist.
- jpt
Thats the only reason why she is whinning

Anit-male vitriol? I have always heard its a MAN’S WORLD. If you dont see the double standard being portrayed by all the main news program daily for the CHOSEN ONE, you must be just like Stevie Wonder.

If Hillary DOES things that causes negative press, WHOS FAULT is that but hers?
Bosnia, Taxes, Penn, Hospital, is ALL HER DOING!

To count Obama’s mistakes and lies and embelishments,, you’d need both hands and feet. WHY IS NOT PRESS NOT AFTER HIM- JUST LISTEN TO MSNBC AND YOU’D SEE WHAT I MEAN, OBAMA CANT GO WRONG

“If it were reversed and Obama was just shy of her lead”
She isn’t “just shy”.
It is next to impossible for her to catch up. And the superdelegates won’t overturn the popular vote.
Those who express their support are moving to him. Those keeping their cards close to their chest will see which way the wind’s blowing.
Frankly if Hillary were NOT a woman the same issues would still apply and some of you would just have one less thing to carp about. It’s most likely YOU who IS voting for her because of her gender. Not other people who aren’t

To MARIAN who said Hillary profited from sexism because it causes women to vote for her.
As far as I know women are not voting in 85-90% blocks for her as African Americans are voting for Obama. I would think even as an Obama supporter you would be able to see the terrible bias happening in the media. Your candidate’s message would insinuate that he and his supporter are for a positive and united America. Funny how all the people that blog in his defense are divisive and mean-spirited, waiting to pounce on anything HRC does, even though many of her positions are very similar to Obama’s.

“And the superdelegates won’t overturn the popular vote.”
They already have…Kerry, Kennedy and Richardson to name a few.
Superdelegates can vote their independent judgment. Those are the rules.

“As far as I know women are not voting in 85-90% blocks for her as African Americans are voting for Obama”
Believe it or not, there are more women in America than African-Americans.
Voting for that woman because it’s “our turn now” should invalidate us from any serious role in the political process

I wish those who complain about media bias would do so when their favored candidate was winning. And this applies to both sides.
I wish those who complain about the electoral process would push for electoral reform when their favorite candidate had won.
Otherwise you just look like bleating sheep and sore losers

When it’s john mccain and barack obama in a general election, mccain will win.
Hello President McCain

To Bill K-
I don’ think you can say one discrimination trumps another, but take a look at one of the top stories on the news right now- ‘Raped, Pregnant, Beaten: Girl’s Distress Call From Polygamist Sect’
I don’t think you can write off sexism so quickly. This story may be unique to the day, but don’t discount the endless stories of women being murdered, raped and beaten in this country. This happens because of sexism and it takes place every day.

The irony is…now that Hillary is projected to win 8 of the next 10 primary elections….you don’t hear anything about momentum.

It is not true that all women support Hillary, that is equal to saying all women are moron. Women are thinking more and more that Hill is not the right one for America now. No wonder, PA voters are planning to move away from her and governor rendall. She is making her case very difficult, she has no plans to change the course of her campaign, tells a lie every day, has lots of money and still is asking poor PA folks to pay for her, and all she can do is whine and complain everyday.
Hillary is not fit to be the president. She is a phony and a liar. Sisters, move away from this woman who is a typical Washington politician and a corrupt one at that!!!!!

Andrea, I have no desire to buy into the resentment feminism rule book that sees men only as hated oppressors. I have too many men in my life I love to do that. If you don’t, look in better places.

Who’s every liked a woman who is higher in power than they are?
Not even other women.
Nancy Pelosi is anti-Hillary because Hillary will take away Nancy’s title as the “highest ranking woman in the chain of command”.
You think Pelosi will help overshadow her own history by electing/endorsing Hillary?
Get real!

Hey Pollaster….have you seen Survey USA….the pollster that’s been the most correct so far in the primary election? I live in PA. Heart of Pittsburgh. People are making pencil puppets and mocking Mr. Obama. He’s toast here. Maybe NC would be offended. The America that still is going to vote is NOT into his snake oil. Like the 2004 elections, I’ll be proud of PA again.

I am a woman, white and have a lot of concern about healthcare, war and economy. And I don’t have even an iota of confidence that Hillary will help us. She is a selfish, phony and a liar, a typical Washington corrupt politician who will say anything and do anything just to fool and win the election. She is a cheat, and everyone knows it.
If we want a woman, we ought to go for a better one and not for this corrupt and untrustworthy woman. She brings shame on all of us since she does not reflect the good qualities, the positive aspects of being a woman. She should leave the race and go to re-build her credibility first. McCain 08!

Oops…thats Survey USA…the polling agency that’s been the most accurate so far in the primary elections. They have Hillary up by 18.

@ MGPGH
I think the Edwards might endorse Hillary so that should help in NC.

To the women who are upset that I spoke of the beatings, rape and murders that occur to women every day…
I am really shocked that even this idea bothers you. How can you not see this happening and not question the society we live in when it comes to sexism? It isn’t about having loving men in your life, and it isn’t even about the abuse of only men, it (sexism) is built into our society, just as racism is. It is a much larger issue than to simply refer to it as ‘the resentment feminism rule book’. If you want change to happen, as following Obama’s message, you must, I hope that you want change to happen for the positive and for all people. Let’s try to see the bigger picture here, OK?

Oops Survey USA way out of line of all the other polls.

Survey USA has been most accurate so far except for one state….show me evidence otherwise. I live in PA. I talk to people everyday. The will NOT have Obama as their president.

Andrea, you know I get very tired of the form of feminism that says “no, we are fighting for rights for all” but that – when iot comes down to it, only pushes in a very partisan way for the rights of women.
My son was horribly abused by his wife. He’d come to me with cuts and scrapes on his face. If he’d call the police to report her, they’d take HIM to prison. He knew he could not EVER lay a finger on her because if he did, his children would be gone. Men AND WOMEN who heard his situation laughed at him. He couldn’t leave because of the kids.He ended up in an emergency room with his liver bisected by a kitchen knife.
The fact is studies show that in half of all cases of spousal abuse the WOMAN strikes the first blow. If the man DOES hit back she ends in hospital. This dynamic needs to be understood and dealt with by more complex means than demonizing men. I am sick of this nonsense.

“countallthe votes”, that’s because you are posting under more than one name.

Hey, countallthevotes, this has happened to me too. I do not know if it’s a glitch or what, but my most critical posts are often deleted even if they have nothing offensive in them. Yesterday, I posted info on the vast number of Clinton supporters who said they would not vote for Obama and the blog host kept deleting it. I guess the truth hurts the liberal media.

I’ve concluded the Dems are addicted to losing the White House.
How’s this for a prediction–The Republicans’ only hope of winning in November is to have the Democrats run the inexperienced, arrogant junior senator from Ill., who I might add knows all about foreign policy [his words, not mine]. Surprise! Knowledge by osmosis, I guess. Oh, what the Republican Party will do with that blooper!
You want to hear a whine? It won’t be about sexism or racism in November. It’s going to be about losing because the very voters outraged today by media bias and the Boys’ Club will remember how they were disregarded and insulted today. Maybe Hillary Clinton has grown accustomed to this abuse, but I have not. I and many women have long, long memories. BTW, not voting is a vote, too.
Get your tissues out. It’s going to get ugly when the unthinkable happens and the Republicans win, again.

Martha – a lot of feminists advocate on behalf of men. There are feminist who do domestic violence work on behalf of gay men, for example. Dont condemn feminism based on your experience with misguided people

@ MGPGH
well IF obama beats McCain, Michelle will be the most hated first lady in our history.
She’ll definitely trump Hillary.
I don’t recall Hillary EVER saying disparaging respects about AMERICA.

John – You’re entirely right. But since she exposed the sentiments of the Obama family….you’ve heard NOTHING about her in the national press. She was here in Pittsburgh. Was pretty innocuous. She made like a 2 paragrapgh story.

Yes Tapper numbers aren’t sexist but can honestly tell me that if this was John Edwards trailing Obama that anyone would be asking him to drop out of such a close race. I THINK NOT!!

“At least we KNOW what hillary has been accused of and criticized for.”
Yeah, but there’s a NEW ONE every few days.

“can you honestly tell me that if this was John Edwards trailing Obama that anyone would be asking him to drop out of such a close race? I THINK NOT!!”
It isn’t close. And in the exact same situation the other candidate SHOULD drop out respective of gender.

Surely the most bizarre reason to vote for someone is “We have a long list of his/her unethical behavior” but at least we know about it”
Hey, let’s let all the prisoners out of correctional facilities too. At least we know most of what they’ve done.

Here’s the issue….What if the consistantly biased coverage in this election is an underlying factor that has created the numbers (the numbers that put Obama ahead, but can not give him a win.
What if it’s not all sexism (also a factor) but it’s the willingness of the media to clearly favor Obama and use his campaign’s “talking points” against Hillary?
I don’t think that there would be nearly so much anger if many of us didn’t see the media swaying the election right before our eyes….
It started eary it continues daily…So now it’s reached a point where a clear disservice is being done to the voters and to the candidate.
So if the media is tired of the Clinton’s let me assure you that the voter’s are getting pretty tired of the media. We can always turn off MSNBC but don’t ya’ll have a responsibility that far exceeds just acknowledging their has been sexism?

Frankly, Ahmadinejad (Pres of Iran) won’t give a dam about race, gender, or age. So suck it Hillary!

“Strategist”: we women who are (in your opinion) “cutting off our noses to spite our faces” because we want to vote for someone other than obama if he gets the Democratic Nomination—-this obama man is arrogant, and arrogance is NOT a trait that I or MILLIONS of other voters—men OR women—want in a President again. We have had that dastardly ARROGANCE for the last 8 years in the White House—–that core belief that supercedes EVERYTHING: taking in to consideration what others think, putting oneself aside for the good of a WHOLE NATION. This type of Narcissism is the MOST DANGEROUS THREAT that a President can have—-we have SEEN where it has gotten us now—and to elect ANOTHER person (obama) with that same EGOTISTICAL Narcissium will be further downfall of this country.
I would rather vote for McCain, in light of that……

The videoclip is dramatically effective in capturing the sexism that has infected this campaign.
Chris Matt.’s statement is especially instructive: he posits that Hillary is only a senator and now only a presidential candidate because she is the wife of Bill Clinton, the philanering president.
When Hillary Clinton was admitted to Yale Law School. there were only a handful of women admitted. Recall, Yale undergrad had just started admitting women in 1972 or 1973. She had to have been a brilliant student or she simply would not have been there. Note, Yale Law School is the most selective law school in the country. While Harvard admits about 400 incoming students to its law school, Yale has limited admission to merely 200 students. Here is an excerpt from Newsweek on those early days at Yale Law School:
“And so Hillary turned herself to her new cause with energy and determination. She audited classes at the medical school dealing with children’s health. She spent time at the Yale Child Study Center, observing clinical sessions. She worked as a researcher for the authors of the landmark book Beyond the Best Interests of the Child. Soon she published papers of her own on the legal rights of children—papers that would later earn her derision on the right, which accused her, laughably, of contending that “12-year-olds should have the right to sue their parents.” (Thank you, Pat Buchanan.) Indeed, surveying this and her later work in the field, the historian Garry Wills would deem her “one of the more important scholar-activists of the last two decades.””
When I see people posting on Jake’s blogs that Hillary is not smart, not competent, not a person of achievement in her own right, I simply cringe. I submit she would have done as much, if not more, had she not married Bill Clinton. To say she has determination and tenacity is an understatement. I am in awe of her strength. Her overall mastery of every policy and issue pivotal to this campaign has been consistently demeaned as her being a “wonk.” That IS sexist. No man on the podium could even approach her preparation on the issues.
Recall the debates in which Clinton, Biden, Richardson, Dodds, Edwards and Obama participated. Note, I was then an Edwards supporter. It was truly an intellectual g**g b**g and Edwards was part of that, to my surpise. For many months it was Obama, Biden, Dodds, Edwards, Richardson vs. Hillary. It was the “Big Boys.” I am amazed she is still standing!! While people claim she pissed away so much of her money at the beginning of her campaign, well, she was running against them all, while they as a group were running against her.
I was resistant to claims of sexism for most of my young life. What I did not realize during those young years is that I never had a job any man wanted.
NO MAN SHOULD BE TELLING HILLARY CLINTON TO GET OUT OF THE RACE. TO BE SURE, BOTH OBAMA AND CLINTON WILL NEED SUPERDELEGATES TO WIN. FURTHER, I ASK YOU, IF FL AND MI WERE COUNTED, WHERE WOULD OBAMA BE?? Clinton is correct. Leahey et al telling her to get out is employing a double standard-one for her and a very different and special one for Obama.

you see this is the sexist box that the media and men put women into all the time! If a woman cries she is considered weak,if a man cries he is compassionate. If a woman asserts herself she is considered a “bitch”,if a man asserts himself he is considered to be strong and bold! Rev. Wright said that Hillary did not know dicrimination because she has never been called the N word! Well she may never have been called the N word but she has been called a bitch,whore,and monster by many including some of Obamas surrogates! She has also been a victim of gender bias in the workforce,where women earn 1/2 as much as males doing the same job! It is evident however that such dicrimination is not taken as seriously as racial bias, since the media does not dicipline its own when they make sexist remarks like Chris Mattheews did no he simply says that he is sorry on a blog and all is forgotten! Remember when Ferraro said that Obama should consider himself lucky to be black and all hell broke lose! Chirs Mattheews says that Hillary got where she is because she was cheated on and for no other reasons,there was hardly any condemnation by the media or Obama! What if Hillary had said that Obama was just a Typical Black Man well I think you know that she would have been lambasted by the press and denounced as a racist! It is obvious that sexism is tolerated more than racism from watching this campaign, one can call that whinnig if they like but I call it a cry for justice and equality! Maybe some day demeaning women, our Mothers,Wives,Sisters,and Daughters will be as unacceptable as calling blacks the N word! So thanks Hillary for fighting the fight and making america a better place for women and men! Keep the faith!

“What I did not realize during those young years is that I never had a job any man wanted.”
I’ve had plenty, sister.
Don’t blame it on your gender.

People can criticize Hillary Clinton till the cows come home, but she is positively the best chance we have for a President out of these 3 people who are now running.
I want the War to end and our troops to get out of Iraq—-Iraq can take care of itself—-and in the MEANTIME, pay us back for their protection IN OIL they’re sitting on (that’s what this war is about, anyway).
I want Healthcare Coverage NOW. No “oh, some people will get it FIRST, and others won’t be able to get it…”; I want the Healthcare that these 3 Senators are currently getting, and HILLARY will get busy making that happen. I currently have NO health insurance and work 50 hours a week (2 part-time jobs).
I want the Ecomomy fixed–ASAP. The American Dollar is going down the tubes compared to other world currency. Hillary HAS THE PLAN to tackle the economy. I trust her to carry it out. SHE UNDERSTANDS WHAT IS WRONG—UNDERSTANDING WHAT IS WRONG is central to fixing the problem.
Hillary is simply the ONE—-the BEST of the 3.

“What I am say that no one should call her a bitch and whore which she has been called! ”
Russel, name a politician – including Obama – that has NOT been attacked with EVERY epithet anyone can ever come up with. If you can’t stand the heat get out of the oven. If you want kid gloves because you’re a woman you just aren’t ready.

Miss Andry: but—-if you have healthy self-love and respect, you can cry for yourself and be “gentle” with yourself.
I DISAGREE strongly with the people who say that “Mrs. Clinton’s crying was acting—-she is a cold person”. I would be wondering about a person who CANNOT cry or show emotion….

The double standard is in the uneven ways in which OBama and Hillary have been treated by the media.
Obama has been catered to like a new toy which , if he makes a mistake or miscues on a speech or travels with the enemy…..is given permission to slip slide his way out of the mess with sweet talk and and a teflon vest.
Nothing he does ever requires being reprimanded by the press.
Hillary has been around longer; her past is not as empty as Obama’s…. so
although she has a much stronger record of accomplishment than he does, she can be slipped up by stuff that happened twenty years ago…. about the time Barry was being toilet trained.
If Barack doesn’t want his picture taken, it’s news. If Michelle wears a white shirt rather than a dark one,that’s great for an editorial. If he smiles at the horizon…. that’s good for a photo op.
But the stories about Rezko and the extended donations he made to Obama’s election funds, and the monies he gave to Barack while his tenants were living their winters in unheated apartments in his broken down tenements under B O’s watch because, Rezko claimed, he didn’t have any more money….. could get buried really and truly fast.
And Obama’s competition could never mention Pastor Wright because that was politically incorrect and became unmentionable by the media really and truly fast.
Meantime, the only time Hillary was mentioned was when one of her campaigners did something wrong or when Bill tried to stick up for her.
So immersed in Obama was the press that little was mentioned about what a strong. substantive speaker she is, and how she truly DID accomplish a lot, and how she is committed to helping our country during thes next very messy years, thanks to Bush and Cheney (who ought to be impeached!!!)
So yes, the media has been more than unfair to Hillary; in the handling of this election it has been short sighted and small minded.
What ever happened to the ethics of the original fourth estate?
And in the blogs, Hillary has demeaned reviled and slandered.
Some of the posts, of course are good… on both sides… but there are a hell of a lot of mean spirited stupid people out there who, I think, follow the media in so far as they can read and understand it.
And you guys….. HELLO UP THERE, I mean YOU… the keepers of these blogs… are not setting a very good example.

I just watched the video, I heard the interview earlier today.
regardless of political party or person you are supporting.
everyone should be outraged that these men were able to say these things and not be reprimanded for it.
What kind of women do they have in their lives that they can get on tv and say that about another woman and their own women not be outraged. I mean what a way to make a buck-and I know they get paid big bucks-which also tells me it does not matter how much education or money you have you cannot buy decency.
Hillary clinton has been a good public servant-go and tell some of the people she has helped the children of arkansas
some of the 911 families-some of the first responders that were on the scene on 911.
What empty lives we must lead that we would get on this blog and abase ourselves like this.
If I were any of those guys wife I would have hung my head in shame when I saw him.
I thought we were suppose to be an every advancing civilization-I guess not.
If hillary clinton was as bad as some of you write-she would be in jail.
and the men on the video-really are low
no woman deserves to be talked about or talked to like that. and all the women on here should be voicing their outrage.
an injustice done to one woman-is an injustice to all women
and from what I have seen on this video
Hillary clinton has been done an injustice.
I am not for barack obama because I do not think he is ready to be president
I would like for him to go back to his job in the senate and serve the people he represents and increase his political resume.
What do the people who are not supporting hillary clinton want her to do?
public tarring and feathering? for having the nerve to run for president
should we flog her?
none of us know hillary clinton personally-and hillary has not done anything wrong to you personally that you should be lowrating yourself so much trying to bring her down.
attack her on the issues you do not agree with on. but for the sake of humanity lets stop talking about this woman the way these men talked about her.
I wonder what it would have been like if hillary mother and chris matthews mother were in the same retirement home and watching that video together.
she is only human-like obama,mccain
and all of you. stop abasing yourselves.

Political Observer: Hillary can take the heat her pantsuits are made of asbestos! I am the one complaining! You know that no politician could or should survive if he or she called their African American opponet the N word! It would and should be fatal, then why should we as a society accept women being called bitches and whores! If you can’t see the injustice and hpocricy in that then I think you are blind to the truth and nothing I say will convince you!

Obama has two daughters of his own do you think he would want them when they grow up to be referred to as bitches and whores! I pray not!

Hillary can take the heat her pantsuits are made of asbestos!
I know,

“I would be wondering about a person who CANNOT cry or show emotion….”
I wonder more about a person who cries only on the eve of an important election when she knows it’s a negative issue for her.

everyone-but at least every woman should be outraged at what has been said by these men in the media
we are going backwards-if we continue to support these stations that allow such.
I’ll be these men go to church
so one deacon to chris matthews
“chris you sure stuck it to old hillary”
“I can’t stand her-she is lower than a snake”
“keep up the good work chris”
now what kind of message is chris matthews sending to his son? his daugther?
an injustice to one woman anywhere is an injustice to all women.
ladies the next time some one calls you a name or gets you all wrong-and tells you about it. remember the terrible things you have written about hillary clinton.
it makes no difference if you are a woman running for president or a woman
working on the police force, or flipping hamburger-no woman deserves to have the things that were said about hillary said. and you all know it is true

Jake, it is sad to say that either they didn’t read your column OR it went right over their heads. Thank you for acknowledging what we women have noticed in this race and IN OUR OWN LIVES.
I think it is really sad that the young females typically are clueless to what is “WRONG” in that you tube video. INEXCUSABLE.

I agree there has been sexism and Hillary has taken advantage of it. She has complained constantly and the press have treated by walking on eggshells around her. They don’t dare ask her tough questions. Because she is a woman, she is treated much better than the men.

POLITICAL OBSERVER:
There IS not hate.
Just a whole lot of questions.

Hillary Clinton is behind. She has an entire machine behind her because her husband is a former President. The amount of political and power connections they established when they were in the White House is not to be over looked. The advantage she has should be insurmountable and yet Obama and his supporters are giving her a run that she never expected.
There is no double standard, only the Clintons trying to reconcile the fact they are losing.

Asking if there’s a double standard towards Clinton is like asking if the sky is blue. I started out this race as an Edwards supporter and even then the media’s fawning over Obama and obvious hatred towards Clinton bothered me. It was this bias, that made me start to research Senator Obama on my own and what I found was appalling. I knew about Rev. Wright, Rezko, William Ayers, Auchi, Hezbollah and others MONTHS before the media mentioned them. Even now, the only thing in Obama’s past that has even been tangentially covered is Wright. And that doesn’t even begin to touch on his lies or his history of stripping others off the ballot — including a black female incumbent civil rights activist. He has a history of disenfranchising voters and playing the dirtiest politics imaginable. If the media had done its job or at least acted in a fair manner I’d never have taken it upon myself to research the man. As it stands, there is no way this man can win the general election. The GOP will eat him alive. They don’t need the press to do its job — 527s and swiftboat vets will do it without them.

Every time Obama gives some “major” speech, MSNBC and CNN run it live, telling us “history is being made” and “Obama is the next JFK”. Do they give Hillary or McCain equal time? NO! Aren’t there laws regarding how much free air time the networks give the candidates? By the way, the video is sure to be shared by millions of democrats across the country. I’ve even sent it to my Republican woman friends, who knows, maybe they are closet feminists….

Dear “What Happened to the REAL Democratic Party?” I love your name and question….
The Democratic Party as we knew it is long gone! They can’t figure out their own rules and apply them consistently. They had a “50-state Strategy” and the Democratic Party and Obama thinks it’s quite alright just leave out 2 of the 50 states? Pretty soon many states will leave the Democratic Party permanently!
Obama fits in well with the current Democratic Party–we’ll just ignore the problems and hope they go away on their own….
Or, maybe Obama and the Democratic Party can sit back and just have the MSM eliminate the candidate making waves about the archaic rules and inconsistent application of the existing rules! That seems to be working too!

I do not post links…..Republican dirty tricks?

there has absolutely been terrible bias against Clinton. She has received much tougher press coverage as many studies have outlined. I am continually dismayed that Obama has not received the same level of scrutiny. Why is it that his continued mis-statements and flip-flops do not get the same level of coverage. It is a disgrace and leaves a black mark on the legacy of the media.

Whatever happens to Hillary, I have never seen any other candidate take such a brutal biased bashing from the media day after day and remain standing. I know some people are tired of the Clintons. They want new characters and new material. I know she is a fascinating character, so she is a lightning rod for attention. But she simply has the smarts and toughness to excel at the job of being president for all Americans. I strongly believe that we will regret veering left with Obama or right with McCain.
of the CLinonsmany peoplepeopl,eNo other candidate I have seen would still be in the race. She is tough as they come and I will always respect her for that.

hopesprings52: it is also notable that, if a person looks at articles on these blogs, and looks at the post-responses, articles about Hillary and Bill garner SO MANY MORE posts than articles about McCain or that other candidate running—–now who was he???

kravitz: did you vote for Bill Clinton…..and, did you vote for George W. Bush?

JB… This is striking but I did the same investigating months ago and came to a very similar list of people and ultimate conclusion about Obama; and, I should note that he’s way too scary for me to ever vote for!
Unfortunately, the MSM doesn’t want the people to know the real Obama (and company) because Obama still sends tingles up the legs of the MSM!
When I mention to my friends the people you’ve listed, they have no clue who or what I’m talking about. And they are turned off when I try to explain even the easy connections. JB, you might want to add IL’s governor to your list….

PA Voter, I’ve read some about the IL governor as well. Obama’s connections to seedy characters are too many to name.

If Hillary wasn’t asked the tough questions you same people would be complaining she was being patronized and not taken seriously.
I do a TV show, with a strong presenter. Some politicians don’t want to come on and face him. I always say that if you can come on and face him down BECAUSE YOU HAVE GOOD REASONS you can only win.
If he pandered to you, you would have the opportunity to prove NOTHING. You’d just feel better.
Of course, if you can’t hack it stay at home.

“SHE WON’T BE IN IT ONLY
FOR THE MONEY!”
No. The glory too. But the money’s a biggie.
She ain’t Mother Teresa

“I am going to run for president one day just like sen. clinton.”
I’d tell her “Run for president by all means, but don’t do ANYTHING like Senator Clinton”.

Rob. believe it or not, it is not harder for a rich white woman to become president than a black man
at least unless that rich white woman has a lot of other strikes against her
there’s been lots of them in the white house
not a lot of blacks

Amazing how for so many of you “balanced” means “supports my own preferences”.
But on the other hand it’s not amazing at all. It’s human nature.

“It’s not sexism; it’s Hillary Clinton. The NPR interview is classic Clinton. Ask her one question and she’ll give you some packaged feed on how disadvantaged she is. This is a woman with a Yale education, who worked as a corporate attorney for a six-figure salary, who has the support of Forbes 400 thugs, who is apparently worth over $100 Million dollars and she is whining again. Does Clinton strike anyone as being disadvantaged?? Compared to how the vast majority of American women have to make it through the day? No one else with that profile would have the nerve to whine on NPR about how tough she has it. ”
Mara, that is the truest post here.

“and when you child hears you running public servants down as you do hillary clnton”
jgaw
Do you really think for one second that Hillary Clinton regards herself as ANYONE’s servant? Let alone the public’s?
I’ve met both Clintons. They believe they were born to RULE not serve.

Gordon Brown,You’re wrong, I use to cringe at Fox news, and yes I am a democrat. That is how bad this media has been. And yes I know they are not fair and balanced, but as I said they hate Obama and Clinton equally, thus making coverage equal. If you go to some pro Hillary websites you will see a lot of her supporters have resorted to this for their news.

well newsbeat, sounds like sour grapes to me-did the clintons tell you they were born to rule-or did you just decide that on your own.from observing them?
I cannot see anyone coming from the background of bill clinton thinkin he was born to rule
and beside they sure did prepare-they are both very smart people. and it seems they prepared well.

Spec Day, that’s not what I’m saying at all. What I’m saying is that she shouldn’t have to be perfect as so many female detractors seem to think. Perfection is a standard no one can meet and yet that is the standard many women and men are holding her to. A similar thing is happening with Obama for a lot of people that support him only they have built him up as perfect and simply refuse to see any flaws. Both scenarios are ones that either reject or accept a candidate based on the idea of them being perfect rather than examining them and accepting them warts and all.

Just saw the video, wouldn’t come up before, too many hits? Anyway, I loved it, VERY POWERFUL, hopefully it will get people talking.

This is kind of issues that need to be raised and discussed. Blacks are blindly voting their own. Obama is also helped by younger generation who are naive and unsophisticated. Ask any one of Obama supporters that what he has done. What is his strategic plan? The answer, virtually none or copy of Clinton’s plan. Obama was against the war but voted to fund the war every time just like Hillary. How many time during the debate did you hear Obama said I agree with Hillary. Obama knows how to criticize someone else but can’t come out with his own plan. Why is it so hard for Americans to understand this. This country is going down and will never recover if Obama is elected. He seemed too stupid to even come up with a simple budget. I guess you would manage well if you expected $5 in donation but got $5,000. Don’t get fooled by this idiot, please. Wake up America and really do your homework instead of being cynical about everything. Look very carefully of what Obama has done thus far rather than be awed struck.

I support Hillary not because she is a woman. Because I am a Democrat and the other candidate Is one of the worse candidates I have ever seen for president.
If Obama is on the democratic ballot for president in the general election. I will vote republican and being a voting democrat for 40 years and using a sane mind and sound judgment evaluating all the issues and policies and following all the canidates. The man should not be president Of The United States of America.
He does not have what it takes. To serve the people or the country.
Omitting all the motivational speeches and the campaign promises. He has not much For being the leader and Head of a country. At least not any more than you or I.
He has some major character flaws. You can not lie on and about your friends in public. When you do everyone can see you are a liar. You do not lie about your family, no matter what. When you do that in public That shows you do not care about anyone. He has done both numerious times.
He has talked down on Americans and has called Americans racist.
He has spent all of his time as a Senator first year preparing to run for president, the next campaigning.
He came from Nowhere and his goal was to go non-stop to the top.
He flip flops on issues, changes his mind about policies.
He avoids, eludes, evades and two-steps direct questions. Or changes the subject.
He Has blamed, pointed fingers, accused, blamed some more. Slung mud, mislead people, lied to the American people.
He has used people and manipulated people.
I find no Qualities That would make him a Good President.
He is an excellent orator. We do not need a speaker.
We need a Strong Person to be president.

Hillary simultaneously lowering the bar for herself and raising the bar for Obama. She has discounted caucuses as democratic (because she didn’t win them), discounted smaller states (because she didn’t win them), and claiming that Michigan and Florida need to count because she “won” them. Meanwhile, she is recasting herself as the underdog, claiming that Obama is really losing because she is not “putting her away.” That is kind of like the New England Patriots going into the SB as the heavy favorites, coming out of the third quarter in a neck to neck game, and then saying in the final two minutes “well now that you have proved us to be a formidable opponent, we will only acknowledge your supremacy if you kick our butts.” Obama had the better game plan, period.
Sometimes the favorite can get themselves back in the game. Blaming the refs isn’t going to do it.

If Wyoming and Montana were the states with voters that are being disenfranchised, would Hillary even care? No, just the ones that will inflate her numbers.
There will come a time where NO ONE will feel sorry for Florida anymore. Their problem is obviously bigger than this nomination.

There is definitely a bias especially with regard to Clinton lies as opposed to Obama meant to say this. She has had gaffs, Obama has lied. About ties to Rezko, his relationships with the black panther groups and what he has accomplished in his Chicago district. We know nothing about the man. Many media are afraid of the racist label. Which is pinned to anyone who questions him.

“But I think the question is being asked because Clinton is trailing in delegates and the Democrats’ proportionally-allocated delegate system means the math is tough for her.
“Numbers aren’t sexist.”
You really puzzle me.
No, numbers aren’t sexist; but spin is. As Hillary said, Obama can’t win without Superdelegate support, either. Whenever Obama or one of his supporters says that Hillary can’t win on pledged delegates, he’s implying that he can; and that’s disingenuous, insincere and hypocritical. And nobody calls him on it. Nobody. Why is that?
Furthermore, the Democratic primary system was designed to be undemocratic the way it is for a reason. If the Superdelegates slavishly follow the popular vote, they completely undermine the reason they were created in the first place. Obama has repeatedly accused Hillary of trying to change the rules regarding the Florida and Michigan vote in midstream, implying that he doesn’t try to change the rules in midstream. But in promoting the idea, early and often, that the Superdelegates should fall in line with the popular vote, this is exactly what he is trying to do. Again, he is disingenuous, insincere and hypocritical; and again, nobody calls him on it. Nobody.
I don’t know if the MSM is cynical, has contempt for the public or is just plain stupid, but they had better realize that their credibility is at stake. America is finally waking up to the incredible media bias in this country.

What?? the media is bias aginst Clinton!!! give us a break its the other way around. The negative publicity that was raked up by Clinton was made by the Clinton camp. The Bosnia sniper saga, the Penn Columbia trade deal which is a wink wink, The woman hospitalized which in turn false story, the Tax Return with lots of money and all other negatives was not the making of the media, the media only report it. The problem is Hillary, she is not prepared to win and she is not ready to lose also. What a whining!!!!

Numbers can lie when they’re based on suspect caucuses, Republican “Democrats for a day” and all the free promotion the MSM can provide.
They’re selling us Obama just like they sold us GWB, and we all know how that turned out.
In fact why bother with an election? I’m waiting for the Supreme Court to anoint him any day.

I’ve noticed a disturbing trend on these boards, and this is as good a place to mention it as any.
Obama supporters talk hope and unity, but when a Hillary supporter says (s)he’ll vote for McCain over Obama, they get hit with a nasty response. Often it’s an attempt to browbeat, sometimes it’s a childish “nananana so will I if Hillary wins”.
Rather than change, this mimics the worst kind of behavior we’ve seen from the Republican party during recent decades. Furthermore, since Obama claims his presidency will be “ground up” this behavior only serves to push people further away from Obama.
Obama followers just don’t get it. This has nothing to do with thinking McCain is the perfect candidate; it has everything to do with Obama being perfectly unacceptable to so many people (and it has absolutely nothing to do with the color of his skin). He’s outspent Hillary 2 to 1, 3 to 1, 4 to 1, 5 to 1. Why hasn’t he been able to seal the deal yet? Even if he ekes out a nomination, do you really believe he can win the White House?

“She ain’t Mother Teresa.”
Actually, Hillary has been honored with the Mother Teresa Award. You probably missed it buried among her long list of accomplishments.

You bet the media has trashed Hillary with sexist comments, while all but ignoring Obama’s own chauvinism. Here’s a recap of Obama’s comments to women on a recent day on the campaign trail in PA.
At recent campaign stops in Allentown and Scranton on April 1st, Senator Obama turned on what he thought was “charm” with the ladies, in a pitiful attempt to get their votes. While touring a factory in Allentown, he flirted with the women there, addressing them as “Sweetie” and “Beautiful”. Later that day in Scranton, he came upon Denise Mercuri, a Dunmore pharmacist and Clinton supporter, proudly wearing a Hillary campaign button. He approached her to find out what he had to do to get her vote. His offer? Getting down on his knees, and a kiss. Is this all he has to offer women or is this what he thinks we actually want? I knew Obama lacked experience and had a very disturbing relationship with Jeremiah Wright. Well, we can now add chauvinism to the list of reasons why he should not be the Democratic candidate. Newsflash to Barack: Most women are nothing like your “Obama Girl”. We don’t have a crush on you and your recent behavior shows that you are nothing but a condescending chauvinist who thinks that flirting and kisses will turn all the ladies’ heads and votes your way.
I’m voting for Hillary Clinton.

hey sandy in pa,
the bias media keeps telling us obama is gaining on hillary there. of course you cannot trust it.
please I hope you all will not let us down. he may have more money, and that smile-but pa do not be fooled-obama is not ready to be president. and if we want to have any hope for nov. we need to get hillary in.
we know what the rep. will bring to attack hillary-and she can take it.
but we are still everyday-finding out something new about obama-who knows what the rep. already have. he will not win against mccain.
please sandy in pa-tell all-you all
correct this mistake that is happening.
we know nc is blindly voting for obama
I am even of the mind that if they
even found him in bed with a dead body
they would still vote for him. just because he is black.
pa right this wrong.
vote hillary

I don’t like Hillary Clinton very much but if Obama doesn’t get the nomination I will hold my nose and vote for her. It is really, really important for the democrats to take back the White House. For all you revenge voters – you are fools if you think you are hurting anyone but yourselves.

The reason Hillary is getting bad press is she is at the helm of a poorly managed campaign, she “misstates” facts A LOT, and appears to be disingenuous.
She gives the press plenty of material because she does not research and get facts prior to speaking.
Her campaign is done, it’s just a matter of waiting on her to realize it.

s.b.
Pay attention:
OBAMA WASN’T EVEN LISTED ON THE MICHIGAN BALLOT
That’s not an election.
duh

Obama chose to remove his name from the michigan ballot. This was a campaign choice, not a DNC requirement. he did so to gain favour in Iowa.
His choice. Uncommitted delegates can vote fro him if they want. This is not a reason to disenfranchise Michigan.
Again why nominate the man if he can’t win in NOV?
And he can’t win in Nov without Michigan and Florida.

By the way, Obama’s campaign organizers in Michigan, and he does have campagin organizers in Michigan have asked that he let the results stand and the delegates be seated.
They know the consequences if this doesnt happen. He loses the white house.

Ann Althouse should be applauded, that video was on the mark. I will remember how MSNBC and the other have used their airtime and will vote for Hillary on april 22 in PA. As a son, with a great mom if “Kieth O” ever spoke that way about her I would find him and punch him in the mouth….he deserves it.

s.b. – enough “misstatements”.
The Democratic Party said to all the candidates at the news of the primaries in Michigan and Florida picking their own date earlier than agreed, that those votes would not count. All candidates understood that and knew that those primaries would not count.
Hillary is quoted on New Hampshire NPR saying that those primaries wouldn’t count. Now that she’s not the frontrunner and barely able to stay in the race, of course she wants those votes to count. Her campaign is in such shambles now – even those states wouldn’t help her.
duh

s.b., get a grip.
Hillary does not represent most women – she definitely doesn’t represent me.
Obama 08

I don’t think there is a double standard. I just think there are any standards tat are appropriate dealing with sex and race. She has made some serious mistakes and cries victim when she is criticized. As for others asking her to step down, I always thought that came from her saying McCain had more experience than Obama. If she were a man they would have hit her hard on that one too.
THe Clintons are always complaining about something. Always have been always will be. It’s disheartening how they always play the victim. I hope the America people are as tired of it as I am.

Racism and sexism exist in America, and the press reflects those prejudices in its coverage. As a person of color and a woman, I see both playing out in this election cycle. The only beneficiary seems to be John McCain.
On a personal level, I’ve experienced both sexism and racism and they both hurt, and dehumanize. One doesn’t trump the other.
We can continue to bash Obama and Clinton for the Republicans, or we can see beyond the minor policy differences between the Democrats, make a choice at the primary voting booth but ultimately support a Democrat. Neither is perfect, both have lied, but one of them must enter the White House in 2009 if we are to avoid a war with Iran and the corporate takeover of our shared Democratic values.

The Inconvenient Truth. No need to panic. Just chill out, help is on the way. A lot of Penna Democrats are Senior Citizens which are from the Old Guard mentality. Obama is out of line. You’ll see!
Yes there is a Horserace here in Penna. Hillary with her 35 years of combat experience, most recently her heroics in Bosnia, has all the Horses coming to her rescue. As usual Mr. Ed & Mayor Nutter have come out to take Lil Hillary by the hand, spoon fed her, and lead her around to the FUND RAISERS which she enjoys very much.
Senator Obama has been going at it alone. No small task since the The Old Guard Demos mounted a 26 point lead for Hillary when Obama came to town. He has shown us here in Pa. that he is willing to do it the American Way. He works for it.
Hillary Horses have been trained well, they sing many songs of praise for her. However, if you listen closely it becomes quite clear which part of the Horse this talk is coming from. That”s no BS…..

The question is being asked of her because she has won fewer contests and received fewer votes, and the primary season is likely to end that way. Therefore, if the superdelegates were to choose her over the winner of the primary season, it would be a coup against the will of Democratic voters. That’s why she’s being asked if she wants to “win dirty.” Most of the superdelegates know that nominating the loser of the primary season, in the absence of a catastrophic crisis that disqualifies the winner, would render the nomination worthless, and wreck the party itself for many years to come.

Can anybody tell me Obama’s current position on gun control?
Just curious.

This is so true…
You have exposed another desperate Clinton measure. These things are getting hard to bear!
Playing the gender card (as when she quipped she should get some votes for taking more time in the bathroom to groom herself!) is not going to rescue this blundering campaign…
Whoever gets the popular vote should win and even the superdels tend to think that way…
Unlike Clinton with her preference for cloakroom politics many Dems still believe in democracy over winning at all costs…
Please end this disgrace, Hillary!

It’s sad when FOX News is providing the most fair coverage for the Dem primary…
they don’t have a love affair w/ Obama, which is why they’re not providing biased coverage toward Obama at the expense of Hillary Clinton

SB is correct in her description of sexism and how it has played out in this country and others. The reason the older women are strong supporters of Hillary is because we have lived through it. We know how it feels to be passed over for promotions for which you are qualified simply because you are a woman. The younger women who support Obama have been beneficiaries of our struggles. Maybe they will understand some of those struggles when McCain becomes our next president. The republicans will double their effort on Roe vs Wade once McCain is elected.

I think Mrs. Clinton causes much of her own problem with the press. She stood up there in her St. Patrick’s day scarf and told “snipergate” in great detail and she knew it was a giant lie. If she doesn’t want to look tight and angry and shrill on national news, she shouldn’t call every reporter near at hand to an impromptu news conference and shout “Shame on you.” She does it over and over. Mrs. Clinton likes to fight. Everyone near her ends up fighting i.e. healthcare failure in the 90′s and her whole campaign in 2008. She fights. It draws attention. She doesn’t like the kind of attention she draws, but she can’t seem to change her spots.

I saw this video the other day and was flat-out horrified. How the hell does the MSM get away with such blatant, outrageous sexism??? If they made even remotely similar crude, crass remarks about Obama, they’d all be fired. What hit me most of all was how many of the male reporters clearly have a major issue with powerful women. What is it, guys, a mother complex, performance anxiety, what??? well, get over it and start at least pretending to do your jo instead of using your spotlight to vent your little-boy terrors. Sickening. (As for the female reporters who follow suit (suits?), I can only say they’re worse.)

I’m a woman and I’m SICK and TIRED of Clinton playing the gender/victim card. One day, I hope to vote for woman for POTUS who EARNED it through sheer hard work and discipline and not because of her husband and all his dubious political connections.
Of course Clinton has been put under harsher spotlight than any other candidate and that’s because she’s a CLINTON, not a woman. I don’t know why people get confused with that. Its in the Clinton DNA to lie effortlessly (see Bosnia) and hence, whatever she or Bill says will be analyzed more carefully and harshly.
This is, after all, the family that redefined the meaning of the word ‘is’.

Speaking of putting people under the spotlight, when is the MSM going to put Obama’s lies under the spotlight? Granted, the man goes to great lengths to avoid saying anything whatsoever he could be held accountable for, and sends his minions out to use words like “monster” so he can claim to be above it all. But every day there’s new evidence that he’s a complete fraud. So why it is, exactly, that the MSM doesn’t investigate any of it?

Well, Mike K, lets talk technicalities. Each one of Hillary’s delegates is backed with more voters, sometimes thousands more. You know, because of those little Red States that had like 6,000 people show up at caucuses and bully a win for BO.
If Republicans couldn’t vote in our primaries BO’s lead would be erased. If FL and MI counted, most of his lead would be erased. Plus, regarding the electoral college, the thing that decides who is going to be president, Hillary is ahead.
So lets here you little SD argument again. this time with something that makes sense.

I don’t understand how she is ALWAYS the victim being dumped on by the guys?! First she was the underdog that came back to beat the Patriots. Then she was the underdog that came back to defeat Memphis. Let us not forget she was the underdog that came back and found her voice(N.H.) and to show us how the West was really won(Nevada).
Please.
In the words of Bill himself “Give me a break”
Oh, wait, I don’t need a break the rest of the public does. I’ve seen through her gender and sympathy ploys. I can’t take my vote back but at least I woke up to her nonsense….”The boys are picking on me. The press is picking on me….The boys are picking on me again…I’m always asked the first question….I won’t quit…..there is a double standard…..the press is being unfair and the boys are PICKING ON ME AGAIN!….”
Lord knows if the situation were reversed, Obama would be hounded everyday to get out of the race, no one would have any sympathy for him and he would be called a you know what for complaining.
Therefore, het cries fall on deaf ears.

Senator Clinton has never made herself out to be anyone’s victim. The people who made that video were angry on her behalf and angry on behalf of all women. The behavior of these some of these “journalists” has been nothing short of despicable.
On this video, you actually see a TV commentator saying “someone should take her [Hillary] out behind the barn…” Can you imagine? WHERE IS THE OUTRAGE??
Is this what men and women wish to teacher their daughters about how it is acceptable to treat and talk about women?
Don’t tell me it’s just because it’s “Hillary” — that is merely an old extremist vile talking point to try to discredit her.
Don’t you remember that a couple of months ago, some female anchor on a news show made a horrible joke about Tiger Woods so outpacing the field at a golf tournament that his competitors might be thinking of ‘taking him in alley and lynching him’?? Wasn’t she suspended? Or fired? Rightly so. No one let her get away with that.
Please explain to me why the rest of this frat-boy misogyny aimed at a woman, any woman, is acceptable.
What does any of this have to do with the issues on which the respective candidates are running?

The media is treating Hillary like a republican and she doesn’t like it. Her and her husband never had a problem in the past when the media was unfairly ripping into their opponents 24/7, but now they have fallen out of favor with the media and the shoe is on the other foot. Hillary is finished. You can’t expect to lie your way into the White house without attracting some negative media attention. But then cry and whine about it when it happens? Give me a break!

A Nationwide Protest is planned this Friday in New York! As many people who can go to protest this kind of sexist bashing of Hillary (and by extension all women), should GO! Here are the details:
Time: 8 a.m. (go before work!)
WHERE: West 48th St & Rockefeller Plaza
NEW YORK CITY
I hope Barack shows up. I keep thinking how he would feel about these same men spewing these rage-filled denigrations at his daugthers. How should any of us feel. We need rise as one and demand a stop to this.
