Having a vehement dislike for Hillary Clinton and being a misogynist are not the same thing.
Trust me. :-)
So if you call someone a dick, do people crawl out of the woodwork labeling you a misandrist?
Maybe these people just don't like her?
Do women want special protection from verbal insult because they're the weaker sex?
I didn't hear any uproar when people called our VP dick, which he most certainly is.
This is another reason I hate country music.
We need to start taking really careful notes on who's doing this sort of thing. Who are they? Where do they live?
This will come in handy when President H. Clinton has the same powers that Cheney has claimed for W. Lock people up without trial, waterboarding, cells at Gitmo, etc.
Like that woman who asked McCain what he was going to do about "The Bitch"... 1-21-09 her life becomes Hell on Earth.
That's what I SAY!
BILL CLINTON - ATTORNEY GENERAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My aunt hand-drew all of the pictographs, and asked me what it said. "I Love Girl Tree Music," I asked.
"Oh, I forgot to tell you that the girl is Hillary Clinton."
"I Love Hillary Clinton Tree Music?"
They had to add the words to the shirt for people like me. What I didn't get the most about my aunt is that she is an avid democrat and didn't get married until she was 42, and probably a "country music" lover herself. She thought it was hilarious. I still don't get it.
implies the person believes ALL women to be cunts, which is certainly not true in the vast majority of cases.
It is less than misogyny. It is politically incorrect slamming of HRC, which many people think she well deserves.
She also happens to be female, but gender is not the point. Her allegiances, attitude, and other attributes are the point.

Its amazing the torrent of mysogyny coming up with Clinton's campaign. I've been seeing the word "cunt" in blogs and email to a staggering degree, all from men I thought were reasonable people. It seems like there's been a pent up need to describe women as a set of genitals again and has been released via some kind of tipping point. I have to wonder what women would want to keep company with a man wearing such a tee shirt.
Of course no one would make up a shirt for Obama using a similarly inflammatory word. That would mean a righteous ass-whupping.
Not to be outdone, I once saw a NASCAR bumper sticker the read:
Fans

Gordon
Get it? Isn't that just hilarious? Conservatives and their acronyms, it's aodrable, isn't it?
until someone accuses HRC of creating the tshirts herself?
They need some edu-ma-cation before they picket Heath Ledger's funeral (because he was in Brokeback) and call people "cunt" ( because they are strong women). The basest of slams, the most obvious of choices is to go after someone based on the surface. It speaks of them, not of her.
I hope folks won't assume that these groups are too stupid to realize that they're building backlash support for Clinton. I think it's very likely that they WANT her to have the nomination and they're counting on knee-jerk reaction to this campaign to lock it up for her. Vote for whomever you please, but don't let the GOP drive your choice.
The problem with that one is that they have the "t" sound twice. If instead you put in a pic of Scooter Libby, Ken Lay, Tom Delay, Randy Cunningham (or any of a multitude of others) Then you have Eye Heart Con Tree Music.
Fits better with southern accents too.
