Is Hillary Hatred simply misogyny?

I agree partly with Rufus. I think mysogyny DOES feed into the beast. Especially because Hillary is considered a 'strong woman'. I don't think it's the only thing there, but it definately is an element.

The level of vitrol directed at her is just ridiculous. And it isn't even just now, but during the Clinton HealthCare proposal and all throughout the Clinton administration as well, when she was just First Lady. She was far more hated than anyone else in that administration (including her husband, of course).

It's kind of amusing because the right likes to portray her as some sort of Hanoi Jane Marxist commie, but she really is very much the triangulator, like her husband. She's more moderate than just about anyone on the Dem field.

I agreed with this, as well. Sexism and male chauvinism could be a strong motivator for the callous hatred some people have toward Hilary Clinton; whether they want to fess up, and admit it or not.

Face it guys -- merely having balls and a **** does not make one a better political leader than qualified, competent women.

Off your meds, Az?

No, hardly. Just making fun of SpencerH's post, and continuing his non-contribution to the thread, really.

Is it possible to not like a member of a minority for something other than their minority status?

Die Hard had it right.

Apparently, though, your drunken mother was too busy servicing sailors to work on reading comprehension with you.

Is that better?

Bah. It was a deflection. You're claiming that your "stylistic license" gives you the right to use the language poorly; the opposite is true. Having such a license means that you can, if you are able to, use the language in more creative and inventive ways that are more effective at communicating whatever idea you're attempting to get across. This may equate with technically improper use of the language, but it does not have to.

Likewise, improper use of language by itself does not necessarily indicate any possession of creativity or inventiveness.

Oh, and you smell like a goat.

Making fun of SpencerH's post..?

his non-contribution to the thread ...?


My god, if there's no place for a succinct witticism in a poly OT thread about jack-****-all I dont know what the place is coming to.

[SlowwHand]

Carry on, Spencer. You say whatever you want to say.

[Imran Siddiqui]

If there is no place to make fun of someone else's post then I don't know what this place is coming to.

[Patroklos]

I hate her because she is ugly, is that allowed?

Consider that the most vehement Hillary-haters love Maggie Thatcher.

Their problem is not strong women. It's strong women who have views different than theirs.
