Every time you and your fellow progressives write your sexist/nasty/catty garbage about Hillary Clinton -- and every time the Nation publishes it, which is far too often -- you alienate women whose energy and votes you will need if Obama wins the nomination. When you start talking about "millions" of young voters and black voters refusing to work for Hillary because of her unfair attacks on Obama you invite "millions" of women to say, well, why should I work for a candidate whose prominent supporters call my candidate Lady Macbeth? Be the one you've been waiting for, Tom person. A man who respects women or if that's too big a stretch, who pretends to, for strategic reasons, at least till the election is over." Comment: How droll, a call to "pretend". Respect is earned, not demanded. And the recent very transparent poll-sensitive temporary image constructs/experiments are are obvious. With Hillary Clinton, going even to the wily point of tossing shots of ?? beer and mugs of whisky like a tatooed Pennsylvania biker "pro" is amusing. Shades of tank-driver DuKakis? I cynically wonder if there was a lukewarm pitcher full of colored lemonade water somewhere behind the camera. |
