Hillary, Nutcrackers & Sexism
May 30, 2008 11:52 AM
ABC News' Claire Shipman took a look at sexism and the campaign of Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-NY, this morning on GMA.
Claire also made mention of the Women's Media Center and its video "Sexism May Sell, But I'm Not Buying It!" which you can watch HERE.
For a counterpoint, check out Peggy Noonan's "Sex and the Sissy," where she writes, "If Golda Meir, a woman of not only proclaimed but actual toughness, heard about Golda nutcrackers, she would have bought them by the case and given them away as party favors."
For the record, the other day on Fox News Channel Clinton campaign chairman Terry McAuliffe said he owned a Hillary Nutcracker. Is that sexist?

THat's right, call the Hillary supporters stupid. that'll get them on your side in November when you need their vote.
Way to go! Lol. When John McCain beats Obama by a 57 state landslide, it's going to be such fun.

Joe,
You continue to amuse us. The draft scare was used by Kerry. They said there was a secret draft plan in the works that would be implemented in April 2005.
Uh, what happened to that? Oops, unfortuantely for you guys that scare tactic won't work again.
LOLOL. You can't make this stuff up.

Jo....you said it exactly sweetie:
And no one wants to put a black man in office .
That is so true. Finally you right?

The latest rounds of video of yet ANOTHER of Obama's supporters and one of his spiritual advisers. (Obama once flew him in to one of his events AND he earmarked 100,000 to his church)
Tap, tap, tap. That's the sound of another nail going into Obama's coffin. This guy is toast, just get out the butter and slap jelly on him.

Yep I'm stupid thanks. Hillary still lost so you don't hurt my feelings. Besides that wasn't hate speech.. YOU SEE MY BASEBALL?
Posted by: Joe | May 30, 2008 1:17:38 PM
Krissy K.: Don't be so sure about that "failsafe;" there is no way McCain will appoint pro-choice justices. And you really, REALLY need to look at his health care plan if you think he makes a nice substitute for Hillary Clinton. You like the last 8 years? Welcome to more of the same if you vote for this guy...

And sadly the abortion issue isn't a scare tactic he will apoint conesrvative judges that will over turn roe v wade then it won't be left to the states it will be banned.. Also I hope you like the draft because thats whats going to happen when mccain is pres. Hope you guys don't have 16 year old kids cuz the will be in Iran by then.

Joe, Joe, Joe, you think people will see this new video of Pfluger and only look at it through the lens of Hillary Clinton?
No, they will look at it at yet another example of how disgusting and sick this church is. All the talk of white supremacy and how whites OWE blacks everything is NOT going to go over well.
And no one wants to put a black man in office who will have a lot of power, who listened to this kind of crap day in and day out for 20 years.
It's basic. Not surprising you don't get it, since you're stupid enough to support Obama.

Krissy...ready for reversal of Roe vs Wade? Ready for 10 more years of war? Ready for a faultering economy" There is absolutley nothing wrong with the economy" J McCain? THIS IS NO SCARE TACTIC!!!

How can feminist Hillary supporters ever vote for McCain? The guy opposed everything they stand for, including the ERA, abortion rights, etc.!!!!! He also appears to not have always been so nice to his wife...

Well JO....politics are tough...and you need to be tough to survive. Obama did survive Chicago politcs to get into the Senate. That took a lot for a white/black man. Saying he isn't tough enough is contrary to you saying Chicago politics are tough...so goes the race. Remember, no one said he is in yet. We still have a convention and a few more primaries. Hillary may surprise us...

Hi, my name is Barack Obama. I come from the dirtiest cesspool of politics called the Chicago Political Machine.
And I want to clean up Washington DC! I couldn't clean up my own backyard, because I played dirty to get elected, but I want to clean up everything now!
LOLOLOL. This guy is the biggest joke to ever come down the pike, and idiots are falling for it.
Posted by: Jo | May 30, 2008 1:09:29 PM
Besides all you hill supporters who won't vote for obama....DON'T! we don't need you anyway!
Posted by: Joe | May 30, 2008 1:08:35 PM
Obama's other mentor and spiritual guide and friend Father Pfluger is making the rounds today.
Obama cannot survive a Round Two of this.
Obama's team is hard at work scrubbing his endorsement and name off of their website, but we have video and it's too late.
The busiest people in the world lately have been the people who work on his blog. All that scubbing off names (Black Panters, Rev. Wright, Pfluger, etc.) is getting to be a full time job.
Like I said, when the conservative 527s get finished with Obama he couldn't win dogcatcher.

What kind of strong woman just says this is sexist.. Thats dissmisve of all her short comings maybe she should look in the mirror instead of poimting fingers. I hate that woman!
Posted by: Joe | May 30, 2008 1:06:23 PM
newvoter, that's politics?
Well, then why did Obama's team have a hissy fit when CNN contacted them saying they were going to air the segment?!
They KNOW it looks bad and so does everyone else.
By the way, it's called dirty politics and it's the Chicago way. So how is this man who learned politics the dirty way going to clean up Washington DC?
Answer: he's not.
Posted by: Jo | May 30, 2008 1:03:45 PM
I'll tell you what I see as sexist are all these women saying hillary or Mccain. Then they say it's because they don't trust obama.. We all know thats BS and you are trying to get your woman in in 2012 at wich point we will be in a world war, have scores of conservative judges outlawing abortion. A failed tax code at wich point Hillary wont get elected(again) because there are far better women fit to be president than her. And that will come to light here shortly.. Shes a lying self centered you know what!
Posted by: Joe | May 30, 2008 1:03:02 PM
Truthtell, I suggest you go to talkleft or taylormarsh to see the comments of those people and tell me if they are Hillary bloggers.
They're not. They're real people and they won't be voting for Obama and he can't win without them.
