6. Women - vote irrationally.

Your thoughts, please.

And don't go gettin' all Lifetime Channel on me.

[Carolinamom]

I’ve got a ‘feeling’ that I’m not going to vote for her. LOL

[rod1]

How about Oxygen Channel for a different age group.

The more talk radio yells louder than Edwards or Obama about Hillary for the next 60 days - the more talk radio will insure that Hillary remains not only the front runner, but in fact becomes the candidate for the Democratic Party.

And that's a bad thing? We want a Dem candidate with almost 50% negatives and enough personal baggage to sink a cargo ship. I wonder if the author would be in favor of going after Hillary when she becomes the nominee? His same logic would appear to applu similarly, i.e., any attacks help Hillary.

Most of the woman I talk to at work, (I am a teacher, middle school) said they would not vote for Hillary if she was a candidate. Matter of fact during some conversations we have had they are worried that she may get the nomination (some of them are Democrats, btw.)

Idiocy.... Hillary has the Dem Nomination locked up. The other candidates are just props...In summary the townhall author is saying “The rest of the media is giving her a pass, so should talk radio.”....I say...”I regret I only have 2 ears to give for my country.”

Hillary only wins - when she is a victim

she plays this card to dumb women very well. That is why I'm beginning to think the whole lesbian rumor to the press was a leak from her camp recently to distract from er performance at the debates. It would make the conservative blogs explode in an uprorar and then she would complain of being attacked by the big bad conservatives.

This is so 1984. Weakness is strength. lies are truth.

1. Talk Radio speaks to the wrong audience. The echo chamber that conservative talk radio is - will not be heard by the voters Hillary is courting.

If that's true, then the rest of his argument falls apart because Hillary voters won't hear and can't be affected by what talk radio does.

The guy's main point is self-contradictory: better not say anything on talk radio that isn't listened to by liberal women 'cause it could backfire and make her stronger among liberal women who don't listen to talk radio.

Some other points are just stupid: she was shifty when caught and wouldn't meet Russert's eyes and you can't see that on talk radio. No, dope, you can't, but you can be told about it on talk radio and then go look at the YouTube video and even find links to it at the many talk radio hosts' websites.

Another dopey point was that the men aren't going to be voting for Hillary anyway, so what's the point. Well, the point is that the older white male vote is the vote that determines elections and the more they're convinced not to vote for Hillary or, even more importantly, to get off their butts and vote for her opponent, the more certain it is that they as a voting block will defeat Hillary.

How's this for an anti-Hillary bumper sticker made especially for liberal college campuses: "Hillary!NO! We don't need another bush in the White House!"

[listenhillary]

Same here. Strong negatives for Hillary from women I know including Democrat and liberals.

[randog]

Hillary has the Dem Nomination locked up. The other candidates are just props...

Just like Howard Dean?

[ontap]

This is reverse psychology at it’s worst. I don’t give a damn who the Dems nominate. I believe we can beat any of them if we get our message out and if we convince the people we are going back to governing right of center and quit trying to compete with Democrats on give away bull*&^%.

Uber-blogger and alternate media mogul Michelle Malkin penned.....

Um, Michelle Malkin was (and still is) a newspaper columnist long before Internet Blogs were popular. A Blog is just an interactive column. (I say this only because blogs are generally percieved by the uninitiated to be nothing more than rants by people who generally have no qualifications. But that is not always the case).

On another note, I think the point to all this is that there is a fine line between just pointing it out and brow-beating it. Certainly there are many libs that listen to Talk Radio just to see what's being said. So certainly there needs to be balance. Report it, talk about it for a day (or two), then move on (Gee, I've really come to hate that term).

Hillary only wins - when she is a victim.

What is it about the rats always being a victim? If the B**** can't stand the heat, GET OUT OF THE KITCHEN!
