xxxx whores

Of course its never ok to call anyone a fucking whore, even an actual prostitute.

But feminism, like any ism is blind. Feminists simply can't get it that you cannot separate any group without favoring that group. It is not possible. Organizations exist because they focus on a core principal: Feminists are NOT interested in a level playing field, they are interested in anything that benefits women.

Its why currently feminists are turning a blind eye (and Joan, you are the worst) to Hillary.

If a Republican man told the lies Hillary has, you would be turning blue. Imagine Geo W saying he ran through sniper fire and you would say he was lying. Hillary says it and feminists circle the wagons to try and find any thread to grab. (She LIED. There is no thread to grab).

Hillary is not likeable, she is bland. She is not a leader, she is a plodder. She will do anything to win and you would NOT find that admirable if a man did what she does.

Your example of calling Obama a N is correct. Now have a man do the things Hillary does, and see if you react the same (you don't). Which means feminists, like Republicans, are hypocrites. You are choosing your ism over the truth

Joan, Joan, you just don't get it

Question: Would Hillary Clinton even be in this race if:

a) she was not the wife of a former President.

The answer is not because she would never have become a Senator if not for Bill.

b) this huge number of women who vote for Hillary BECAUSE SHE IS A WOMAN.

You, Gloria Steinem, Ferraro are all outraged that she is not sailing to the nomination. All of you have a bias bigger than Texas because of the blind spot you filter everything through.

The media and anyone else does not dislike Hillary because she is a woman, they dislike her because she lies (sniper fire), she's bland, and she will do anything to win.

If Nancy Pelosi were running, she would be treated very well, because Pelosi is where she is on merit, not who she married.

Is there a reason you can't get this?

You folks don't get it

Apparently Hillary and her gang have managed to brain wash a surprising number of people. This "qualified" thing and "experienced" thing is complete nonsense. The voters rarely give a damn about being "qualified" or Geo W would never have been in the White House.

Its also surprising that a democratic candidate who can bring new people into the party with huge enthusiasm is dismissed a creating a "cult". Were the followers of Bobby Kennedy a "cult".

Why anyone would want the wife of a former President, who lies about her combat experience (taking sniper fire... call in the F-16s) and who is incredibly bland as President is beyond logic. I know she is a woman so there are women who would vote for ANY woman, but really.

Obama is that rare candidate that comes along once ever 50 years or so: FDR, JFK and now Obama.

Joan, get over your feminist fantasies and rally around a democrat who can win.
