he Clinton campaign has issued a list of words and terms to the Drive-By Media in the form of a threatening e-mail to a New York Times infobabe telling them, "These are the words you cannot use to describe Mrs. Clinton." One word that's not on the list is "cankles." I guess everybody in the media is free to use the word "cankles." ...
[snip]Here are the words that the Hillary Clinton campaign sent out to the New York Times reporter Amy Chozick is telling her she can't use. "Polarizing." You may not use the word "polarizing" to describe Mrs. Clinton. You cannot use the word "calculating" to describe Mrs. Clinton. You cannot use the word "disingenuous" when describing Mrs. Clinton. You cannot use the word "insincere" when describing her.
All of these words are said to be coded sexism. Polarizing, calculating, disingenuous, insincere...These are coded sexist words,

Perfect! I was about to propose a FReeper creative writing contest, using all the proscripted vocabulary!
Or, take the proscripted terms and come up with a list of useful alternatives.
Sounds gender neutral. Applies to her hubby, as well.
I’m glad they didn’t include “evil hag”, “two-faced bitch”, “greedy, political whore”, “ruling class elitist”, and “pathological liar” in their banned descriptions.
“Vast Right Wing Conspiracy”
Old. Decrepit. Crabby. Nasty. Surly. Mean. Condescending. Elderly. Ancient. Declining. Muddle-headed. Crooked. Forgetful. Spiteful. Cranky. Tired. Getting back in years.
What about:
crook
succubus
harpy
lardass
Old Crusty is not on the banned list?
“What difference does it make now?” missed the list?
LOL/yuck
Dowdy, matron, grandmother, haggard, uncouth, irresponsible, vicious, mean-spirited.
Thank goodness. I can call her lying, treasonous b!tch and not be sexist.
Wow, that just about covers it!
No, you forgot "Dropped the ball when the 3 AM phone call came."
Other than that, outstanding summation!
This is actually a very useful exercise. How about “Harridan,” “Crone,” and “She-Weasel”? Honestly, every Republican needs to get out in front of allowing the left to define the terms of the debate. This “any disagreement is sexism” meme is going to be coming in like a tsunami, and it needs to be dealt with, or our side will keep swept away by it. By the way, how bout “Hag,’ “Battle-ax,” and “Harpy”?
What no “Lesbian” on the list??? Cool.
This could not be more like Pravda if it was written in Moscow. She controls the subject, and even the words used. At her so-called “press conference” about the emails she only took questions agreed to in advance. She later spoke to a jovial audience telling them it is a new beginning but took no questions. They laughed on cue like trained seals. Now she wants to tell them what words they can use. It is already well understood and expressed that you can only write about the things that she wants you to write about. I can’t believe anyone could seriously support her for President where she will have complete control over access to government officials, documents etc. The press supporting her would be writing their own death certificate. They would officially become an arm of one party, and would read like People magazine full of Press Releases prepared by the ministry of truth.
Not that I don’t agree with you, but how is the press any different with the current occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave?
How about sexual predator enabler?
