"There's a special place in hell for women who don't help each other," said former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright in a message to young women voters at a weekend campaign event for Hillary Clinton. Clinton punctuated Albright's comment with her loud, phony laugh. Team Clinton later pointed out that Albright has used that line for years. Clinton herself described the line as "lighthearted," but pointed. Pointed? As in: Vote for Sanders, rot in hell.
Feminist icon Gloria Steinem went further than Albright when she told comedian Bill Maher that young women supported Sanders because, "The boys are with Bernie." Really, that's what she said. Later Steinem posted an apology on Facebook in which she asserted she had been "misinterpreted as implying young women aren't serious in their politics."
The incident showed that, when backed into a corner, liberals can be as sexist as any "Mad Men" advertising executive.
Bill Clinton got into the act, too, on Sunday when he complained about Sanders' male supporters' "sexist" remarks against Hillary Clinton. Yes, Bill Clinton called "Bernie's Bros" sexist. He apparently had no problem patronizing women for his own gratification, but when Sanders' fans mock the former first lady and secretary of state on social media, that's personal to the big dog.
I'm not saying there is no sexism in Hillary Clinton's situation. It's not right that Bill Clinton's behavior didn't dent his political poll ratings, yet it now haunts the wronged wife. If Albright, or the first lady, had refused to prop up Bubba, then perhaps he would not have survived.
Lucky for him, Democratic women stood by their man. A female aide, Betsey Wright, used the phrase "bimbo eruptions" to discredit women who blew the whistle on the Democratic presidential hopeful in 1992.
Two decades later, feminism has proved to be a double-edged sword as Hillary Clinton campaigns to be America's first female president. When the former first lady tweeted, "Every survivor of sexual assault deserves to be heard, believed, and supported," the conservative National Review promptly noted Clinton accusers were not given such benefit of the doubt.
When you say there's a special place in hell if you don't support women, MSNBC's Joe Scarborough railed Monday, "Is it only powerful women? Or are 22-year-old women who are being taken advantage of in the Oval Office not worthy of that same support?"
"Sisterhood is powerful" went the old feminist mantra. I'm not seeing that sisterhood for the other distaff 2016 candidate, Republican Carly Fiorina. Democratic women didn't rush to support sister Sarah Palin when she was the GOP running mate in 2008.
When people like Albright talk about women helping each other, they only mean women like them. Young voters have watched Clinton Democrats use feminism as a handy marketing tool that can be ditched when convenient -- then picked up again in case of emergency.
Albright, Steinem and Clinton already have spent time in that special place in hell.
What did Albright have to gain by claiming to be Jewish?
Should we call her Golda Fakier?
Its funny to see all the chimps who think Sanders can deliver the bag of BS he’s pimping.
I don’t specifically remember but it was something to do with her feelings about her sympathies towards Jews in general but she was acting contrarily to that.. Democrats frequently use convenient lies to explain their actions. Maybe because of actions in Serbia, etc. at the time. She’s a snake like all the rest.
Actually, I think that if you vote for Sanders you will rot in Hell, but not because you didn’t vote for Hillary. If fact, a vote for her probably also indicates that your ultimate destination is not where you would want it to be.
I think Sanders people should pick up on this meme that Clinton’s team say they are going to rot in hell.
I thought the old bag has died more times than Abe Vigoda
BBC did a story saying young women are flocking to Sanders , they’re even getting the Bernie tattoo.
“Feminist icon Gloria Steinem went further than Albright when she told comedian Bill Maher that young women supported Sanders because, “The boys are with Bernie.” Really, that’s what she said.

Well, they feminists of this country WANT young women to not be serious about their politics. If they wanted them to be educated and informed, they would run on a lot more than a “vote for the V” campaign.....
"Here's your sign."
The POS socialist and Hillaryous Rotten Criminal can both ESAD and then RIH.
