Hi,
I agree with much of your post, but....
What do you think it says about Obama that some of his supporters are really, really sexist and are not afraid to say awful things all the time to nice and reasonable Hillary supporters? Do you think that just because Hillary has awful supporters we should ignore how mean and inappropriate Obama supporters can be?
Don't you want to know there is a website where you can always be reminded that Obama has some people who support him who really are vocal and ignorant and awful? Joan will consistently point out this about his supporters. I'm not sure what she thinks about the awful Hillary supporters, but I'm sure she knows they are there.
Do you really think that Joan isn't fully aware of Hillary's shadow, how she hits many false notes and makes some awful decisions about how she campaigns? Yes, Joan does often point out Barack's mistakes and his potential character flaws, but do you really think she couldn't say the same types of things about Hillary?
Ok, sexism may be helping Barack, but you don't think Joan isn't very aware of all the other reasons that many many people prefer him over Hillary, do you?
