Former Hillary (Now McCain) Supporters Say New Obama Ad Featuring Palin Winking Is Sexist
http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalpunch/2008/10/former-hillary.html ^

Shelly Mandell, president of Los Angeles chapter of the National Organization for Women: "I am outraged by the new ad put out by Barack Obama. It is sexist and demeaning to women. These tactics started with Hillary Clinton and continue, growing even more disgusting with Gov. Palin. I was a Hillstar for Hillary and an avid supporter. Trashing two women clearly in a sexist manner in one election is an outrage and must be identified and stopped. There must be consequences. Let female Obama supporters take a good look at this and still believe their candidate supports women's rights and women's dignity."

That’s how I take it.

Many different groups of different beliefs have banded together in the past for a common cause.

This women needs to get this message out any way she can to as many women as possible.

And, yes, Obama is the American Mussolini.

Then there’s the case of Joe Biden, who insulted Florida anchor Barbara West by asking her who wrote her questions. She schooled him in the interview.

“Wow! I can’t believe that party “loyalty” has so overwhelmed us that we are now aligning ourselves with Hilary and NOW. I don’t know what to say.”

Part scary, but part good. If Palin weren’t on the ticket, I’d be throwing up right about now (no pun intended).

“Obama isn’t sexist.”

Oh yeah? Take a look at this video of Obama giving Hillary the finger then ask yourself if he would have done that to a man:

I agree. Victimist thinking is okay for leftists. Not us.

Oh good grief. Seriously???

He’s a socialist, a taxer, bad for America for a lot of reasons, but nickel and dime him on petty crap like that (scratching his cheek == flipping the bird?) and it diminishes genuine arguments again him.

And the MSM isn't sexist, either.

Can you imagine the outrage if this was a photo of Obama?

Research women who were communists and have since mellowed. Read their works. Uniformly, they complain about being sex toys for the male Marxist hierarchy while being given NO governing authority within the Party. These guys either hate women and use them or they are gay or both. Leftism is a sociopathy.

The truth doesn't matter to these pigs. Its power. Not even money. Just power to direct the lives of others. Leftism is a mental illness and the practitioners have been extremely, extremely dangerous. Lenin, Stalin, Hitler, Pol Pot, the little goof from North Korea and his dad, etc. None of them are even a hint of “normal.” We are about to elect one as president of the United States.

There’s something about a man who admires the inside of his own nostrils!

What? Am I communicating with closet Obama people here?

The man behaves like a punk. I call attention to it, and I'm "nickel and diming"?

I see this behavior as part and parcel to Obama's contempt and arrogance. Not the qualities I want in a president.

Stephanie Bressler, Ph.D, Hillary Clinton supporter, University of Scranton women and politics professor: "It's a sexist example of reducing a woman to an object - a wink - and denying her a voice. Her lips are actually moving, but she's not allowed to be heard."

Amy Siskind, ambassador for Hillary: "When Senator Hillary Clinton was demeaned and degraded during the Presidential Primary, many of us of, myself included, vowed 'never again'. The treatment of Governor Palin by both the main stream media, and now the Obama Campaign, shows that the misogyny fest is alive and well in our country. There has been a complete and utter smear job of our fellow citizen, Sarah Palin, who is only trying to serve her country."

What utter bullshit. Showing Palin's wink without her voice is sexist? More proof that what feminists want is not equal rights but special protection. If the game in politics is attack whatever a candidate does, then THAT'S WHAT THE GAME IS whether you're a chickie or not.

And what exactly did they do to Shrillary? Emphasize her wrinkles? So what? Now we're reading articles about Obama's gray hair. Campaigning and rough politics ages a person. To say it ages women is sexist? BS.

If you're in the big leagues you take what they dish out. Labeling sexism such trivialities diminishes the accusation when there's a valid charge.
