Of course she lost because of sexism. In fact, she also has bigger "balls" than Nobama. If you thought McGovern and Mondale lost for being wimps, wait til you see how McCain rolls over this "wimp". Rachele Maddow is "hot" Is she "straight" or "bi"???? God forbid if she's only a lezzie. Guys need a crack at that bod.

47. Obviously Hillary has had to deal with sexism. But the biggest issue has been the media's deliberate canonization of Obama, which has been going on since the beginning. Why? Because he is a terrific orator, he has a winning personality and he appeals to the heart. Unfortunately, the Presidency demands much, much more that the ability to speak and smile. He is obviously naive with regard to foreign policy, he has no clue how do deal with the economic climate, the fuel shortage, or the crumbling infrastructure.

Further, he has never been tested under fire! Hillary has been tested so many times by the media the mind boggles. You, sir and your ilk are the ones who have treated Hillary in a sexist manor and blatantly pushed forward Obama's face and agenda.

Ironically, the media did the same with Bush and look what that got us. Between Hillary and Obama, I would choose Hillary every time. She knows how to play hard ball and she will not put up with any crap. She will be a great leader, if given a chanch. The media is quite obviously behind Obama and makes it glaringly obvious.

To begin with, I seriously doubt you are even a Democrat. However, if indeed you are a Democrat and have lived in the United States of America for the past 8 years you have been living under a rock, or you have lost all of your senses! How can you possibly be so incredibly devoid of common sense? You would rather vote for McCain, who will not be a champion for women’s rights, who wants to continue to follow in George W. Bush’s steps when it comes to foreign policies and the Iraq war. This is whom you are going to vote for come November.

Alternatively, your behavior is extremely childish. In fact, you are behaving like a spoil brat. What you are expressing is nothing short of what a spoiled child would do if mommy did not let her have her toy! Moreover, I believe that you would be doing a disservice to Hillary Clinton by voting for a Republican.

As I stated at the very beginning, I seriously doubt your sincerity and your political affiliation. In other words, you are a fraud or a fool. Either way you lose.

Thank you so much for that link. WOW, now why doesn’t the media cover most of these things? Anyway, thanks again for the link. I sure hope others got an opportunity to check it out and see what is going on.

This video is a graphic illustration of what is wrong with this country. McCain is obviously a mis-or mal-informed Dubya clone, whose only goal is to further the status quo. And we all know WHOSE status quo that is. The corporos, who bought and paid for the media that WON'T let this out! Now, about Sen. Obama & Sen. Clinton. Sexism? Muslim sleeper? Hoooey! Can she do it? No. She is another corporate drone- Bill 2.0. Remember NAFTA? Came in under their watch. I still wish that the people running for office would at least acknowledge that they are NOT the policy makers. We are hiring a CEO, not a dictator, yet they are questioned ad nauseum about what THEY are going to do for this, that and everything in between. Example: Bush can barely tie two sentences together, let alone his shoes- did HE ruin the country? No, that would be the Rovian agenda behind the man- and we all know who they are. But, guilt by association. Where are all the Rovians going? A sinking ship. I have read Obama's books, followed his speeches, and dug into his background. Of all the candidates, he alone stands the best chance to dig us out of the quagmire we are in.

51. This is what it's like to be a Democrat in 2008, like 3 year olds in a sandbox: "Racist!!". "Sexist!!". "Homophobe!!". Please. Can we grow up here and actually discuss issues? And yes, character is an issue. If it is for GW Bush, it is for Barrack Obama.

53. Was Obama's campaign and his supporters sexist against Hillary clinton? Um...ya think!?!

Just check out all the disgusting sexist and women-hating videos posted on YouTube.com by Obama's supporters, many of whom are African-American (ie: chcek out the "Bros before Hos")

And now you're just tackling this issue? What kind od lame-ass column is this?

54. "If you thought McGovern and Mondale lost for being wimps..." POLITICAL SPIT #46

The right wing chicken hawks are always quick to call someone a wimp. The fact is that our biggest presidential wimps have been right wing Republicans. George McGovern spent WWII serving as a combat fighter pilot. Ronald Reagan, George W, and Dick Cheney all wimped out when it was their turn to serve.

55. The charge of sexism is ridiculous. Hillary received better treatment than she deserved. The Clintons have a long sorry record of selling out to the Repugs. I say good riddance to her, cackle and all.

randy at 10:08PM on May 20th 2008

56. obama, we have more rights to discriminate you than you to senator clinton, just because she is woman. At least she is white and beautiful, what about you? a black muslin? She has more class, and she is much better than you, because she never said anything about your race. You are very ignorant in that matter. You don't act like man, you act like gay, telling people that she looked like "Anny Oakley". Do you think it was right what you said about her? That attitude of yours was not from a real man, from a presidency candidate, it was from the kind of person that you,and your wife, and all the damn Ni....s.are.

57. After watching and hearing Obama, I have come to
a alot of question to Obama. 1.Why do you want to be president? 2. Are you a socialists? 3.Do you believe in the right to have arms? 4. Do you believe USA should have a closed borders? 5.Do you have any friends or family in the military? 6.Why
do you say many subjects are off limits? 7.the media has given you a free pass why? Who do you have behind you with answering a lot of questions
about our trade agreements, and why do we not see any friends from colleges years talk for Obama?
How come his half sister never is seen? Seems we need a whole lot of things answered before anyone
votes this man into the President office. Talks
good but we need a whole lot more than that.

jc at 10:10PM on May 20th 2008

58. OBAMA, BE CAREFULL DO NOT BE SEXIST, REMEMBER THAT YOU HAVE TWO DAUGHTERS, AND LATER ON, WHEN THEY WILL BE OLDER, SOMEONE,LIKE YOU, MAY COME AND DISCRIMINATE THEM TOO, JUST FOR BEING a WOMAN.

DD. at 10:23PM on May 20th 2008

59. In a word, Yeah... Note, Obama's recent address towards a female journalist as "sweetie". What do you think? But Hillary is smart and tough, and I don't think Obama realizes what a formidable opponent she is. Keep going Hillary, kick ass.

Angela Frodella at 11:17PM on May 20th 2008

60. Most women I know have been fuming for quite a while about the sexist press and the sexist
Obama supporters, not to mention Obama himself.

There are two reasons Clinton had the media and big jumping on the sexist bandwagon:
1. their aim is anyone but a woman
2. Obama sold out and agreed to support free trade, Nafta, north american union resutling in the eventual dissolution of our country.. to feed the huge profits for the elite.

Obama himself is sexist. Many think the surprise switch by women from Obama to Clinton at the last minute in NH was the result of Obama's sexist treatment of Clinton during the debate.

The YouTube video shows Obama calling a female reporter "sweetie" while trying to ignore her question about working class jobs; the linguistic equivalent of calling an African American "boy".

No woman with any self respect will vote Obama.

And you can bet if he is nominated, the NH video and the Detroit video will be prime GOP ads.
