Senator suggests gender played into Obama-Warren spat

Ohio Sen. Sherrod Brown, one of the top Democratic opponents of President Barack Obama’s trade agenda, criticized Obama on Tuesday for what the senator saw as “disrespectful” comments toward Sen. Elizabeth Warren and indicated that Warren’s gender may have played a role. “I think by just calling her ‘another politician’,” Brown told reporters Tuesday when asked how Obama was being disrespectful to Warren. “I’m not going to get into more details. I think referring to her as first name, when he might not have done that for a male senator, perhaps? I’ve said enough.”

Yeah. Does gender trump race, or is it the other way around?

Oh, well, I’m for a fair trial. Guilty until proven innocent.

Sorry, Senator, he is just as much of an asshat to anyone who opposes him, male or female.

Brown is striving so hard to be relevant. Sadly, he can’t even crack the top five dumbest U.S. Senator list because the competition is so intense.

More distraction from Hillary’s scandals and ineptitude.

Al criticism of Hillary will be defined as sexist as criticism of Obama was deemed racist. Whoever the Republican nominee is must deal with that argument and nullify it very early in the campaign.

Ahh... here comes the Democrat gender bashing ploy to make Hillary seem like a victim.

It’s not that they need a new playbook. It’s just our esteemed RINO representatives need to learn to read.

This is satire, right?

Brown is being a good soldier. They’ve figured out there is no way to distance Hillary from Obama. On top of that Hillary has massive amounts of baggage.

Warren is the left’s real choice. This gives her distance from Obama, and it also brings gender into the fray. Any sexist attitude by Obama will be amplified and attributed to Republicans as their default behavior.

I love it when one of America’s cherished victim groups clashes with another.
Which will win? Which is the most favored victim group?

The reason what is considered acceptable changes so rapidly is so that nobody can catch up and the gender or racially aggrieved can always be aggrieved. We rapidly went from acceptable to unacceptable for “colored” (NAACP stands for?) to negro to black to African American and if you used one of those terms an hour late you were racist. Between the time an author checked the PC-ness of a term and publication you can bet it changed and now he owes an apology. (Oh, gosh! I said, “he.”)
