I don't think that headline would get very far. So why is it okay to use hate speech about a woman in your headline? C'mon. Wake-up here. Hate speech about women is no less damning than about african americans.

As a Hillary supporter, I love this post and the ensuing sexist comments. This will only keep fueling the backlash about to be unleashed by women voters (as happened in New Hampshire.)

Women are quietly fuming about the vitriolic, hateful language used to attack Hillary, and we are the majority of voters.

We've fought Male Chauvinist Pigs before and will do it again.

Oink

Hope so, because I think you are right.

That said I still don't really want her for my president.

Did you just say cunnilingus?

Oh I like that word! In fact, use it frequently, OK? Lots of cunnilingus!

Are you kidding? Was this thought up by 15 year olds? I hope so... not only is it class-less... it's hate speech. If I call Obama a **** or a ****** or a slung ******. It would be called hate speech. So is this. Law suits will be pending.

I picked up a copy of Shakespeare's Bawdy when i was in college which lets you in on all the jokes and puns we don't usually get today.

If we weren't sex obsessed domesticated apes we would be the dominant species on the planet. Well, at least that's what most of those apes think.

Bush.

When I lived in Texas, Ann Richards was governor, and I never heard this kind of vitriol directed against her. Ann was not beloved by everybody, but she was smart, tough, classy, and did not have a sex addicted husband as a liability. Nobody in Texas would have dared called Ann Richards a name.

Right now where I live Jennifer Granholm is governor. She isn't quite in Ann Richards' class (wish we had you back Ann, I mean that), and there are people who absolutely do not like her, but you don't hear these slurs. You just don't.

I think it is absolutely wrong to use a misogynist slur against Hillary Clinton. BUT we have to understand that there are successful women politicians in this country and this isn't JUST happening because Clinton's a woman, but because she's a woman who's perceived as bitchy, underhanded, and sleazy(in the business dealings sense), and people hate her husband.

I truly believe if Jennifer Granholm ran for president she'd have a better chance of winning than Hillary Clinton. I'm very worried about a Clinton nomination. I think she's the one Democrat the Republicans could beat. And it has nothing to do with her being a woman.

What I'm trying to say is that this isn't JUST a woman thing, and I don't think any woman who ran for President would be subjected to this egregrious treatment by virtue of gender alone. I think we are already past that stage and have seen many women top politicians. I think this is something to do with Hillary herself. The Clintons just awaken the beast in the people who do not like them. And I'm sorry to say there are many Democrats among that number.

And Broadsheet needs to get over boosting her just because she's a woman. Is she the best candidate for women's interests? That's another question, isn't it, and one I don't think can be answered in the affirmative.

Of course, were I to call someone a "mother-fucker", I wouldn't be stating a belief that said person has sex with his mother. What I would be stating is "You are as disgusting as someone who would fuck his own mother." Likewise cock-sucker, nigger-lover, etc.

Words have power. Even if we forget what they really mean when we say them.

Well, sure, if you take it literally, the implication is that there have been or would be sexual relations with one's mother. But I don't think people generally mean it literally. If someone says, "Fuck your mother," it's a pretty big insult probably not based on an actual fucking event (potential or otherwise).

To your other point, yes. A mother is a woman. Perhaps Gloria Stenium provides a clue in her January 8 New York Times commentary where she wrote "men especially tend to feel they are regressing to childhood when dealing with a powerful woman..."

Having said that, it's unlikely we'll see t-shirts for sale that suggest "Obama fucks his mother" or "McCain fucks his mother." (Maybe Giuliani?) (Joke.)

Everyone has a mother and probably lots of people love their mothers. Lots of men have sisters and daughters, too. That doesn't seem to stop some individuals from degrading the value of females with words and actions.

Maybe it's simply self interest. When women were denied education and voting rights, men had all the paid gigs and the power to themselves. Moreover, if a man wanted to keep a wife, he had many more tools at his disposal with which to guarantee a woman's fealty and get regular access to sex.

In this great land, five women graduate from university for every four men. A college degree is more or less the bottom-rung price of entry into the American dream nowadays, if that can be defined as a gig with health insurance. (I don't believe access to health care in fact defines the American dream, but it's a practical measure.) With this trend in progress, the dudes are bound to lose traction. It's a slippery slope to a pink collar ghetto. Seventy cents to a dollar, anyone?

Still, why do some men hate women when they have mothers and sisters and daughters? Perhaps because they're scared and because they feel emasculated by the presence of powerful women. The loser who made the Clinton cunt t-shirts, whatever his schtick, will never have the power or the legacy that she has.

Sometimes I think that some (white) men who I have come to know are sort of half-men. They can seem so weak and passive aggressive. It's as though they've never been tested, not really, and yet still ride the historical wave of privilege. They did nothing to deserve these privileges beyond possessing the correct genitals, but they're not about to give them up. And yet, they remain half-men. They lack integrity.

At least the men of station of a century ago had manners and knew how to treat a lady. I like to think so. What happened?

Let's give the lady a chance. That's all I'm saying. Maybe the cunts can do better than the motherfuckers. It's worth a shot. With all the planet's life support systems in decline, and the American dream threatening to turn into a nightmare, what have we got to lose? Let's try Clinton first. Then let's try Obama after that. We'll be methodical about it. We'll try everything.

And if none of our elected leaders comes through, we'll take things into our own hands, just as our founding fathers told us to do in the Declaration of Independence:

"...But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security."
