I gave consideration. Like with Buffett - "Obama's winning". Oh, okay. I can go through the list, but at the end of the day I'm quite fine with being in the minority of major punditry with my own opinions. Hillary has some well known names for her, but in any case, I didn't sit around tallying endorsers for Clinton or Gore or Dean either.

So you haven't cited a single example of where Obama or his campaign were making these charges or comments or innuendo.

So this boils down to the fact that you won't vote for Obama because the media write idiotic articles about Sen. Clinton's laugh, because two republican radio shock jocks (yes that is who they were) shouted "iron my shirt", and there are some rude bloggers out there?

Think about that for a second.

If you have examples of Obama treating Sen. Clinton unfairly just list them.

Or explain to me how the debate over the wisdom of voting for the war, or the gas tax, or talking to foreign leaders, or the wisdom of health insurance mandates vs. incentives has anything to do with gender.

well, i'm a 50+ woman. and once upon a time, i idolized hillary! i expected her to be the first woman president and was very excited about that idea!

but i've completely lost all respect for her, and am quite franky shocked that ANY bright woman isn't offended by how she's performed, how she's squandered, with incompetent planning and petty behavior, our gender's opportunity to prove ourselves equal to men in every sense. and i totally disagree with hillary's (and her remaining supporter's) claims that this has been an sexist primary.

having gone through a LOT of REAL challenging things in my OWN life, and especially because i AM a woman, i have precious little sympathy for women who play the victim card. i personally wouldn't call them strong women. REAL strong women can't abide a woman who constantly thinks she's a victim!

i read the article you posted.

and, i'm sorry but, to me, that, too, is nothing but a giant steaming cauldron of "victimhood"!

i'm wondering, how can people address hillary WITHOUT it being construed as sexist? if i had to define her entire campaign in one word, that word would be "pitiful".

what i see, as a very disillusioned and disappointed woman and one-time hillary fan, is hillary demonstrating nothing BUT the very WORST and WEAKEST aspects of our gender.

initially, there was the beauty queen sense of entitlement that caused her to think she was going to be "handed" this nomination. this can't be blamed on anyone but hillary and her staff.

it's well documented, by her own staff, that they were so confident that she would be anointed on super tuesday, that she didn't put ANY effort into caucus states, and had absolutely NO ground organization prepared for ANY state after that date.

that's pure arrogance. HER arrogance.
and that's incompetence. HER incompetence.
no one else can be blamed for THAT!

and no one can be blamed for her response to this error.

next, there was the "which hillary are we going to see today?" period. as a woman who's been through menopause, i feel i have every RIGHT to say she behaved like a woman going through her change of life! that, or like a woman with some kind of multi-personality disorder. as a woman looking at another woman, i didn't see anything remotely genuine in any of these personas!

when none of those worked, then came the smear campaign. like a jealous, scorned woman, like an iconic shrew, she lashed out, mind set on bloody revenge, embracing scoundrels and enemies, she went straight for the throat of her rival.

i put these criticisms in feminine terms simply because, and only because, after all, she IS a woman!

but HAD she been a man, and done the same things, my criticisms would be essentially the same. sure, the analogies drawn would be masculine in nature, if she were a man, but they would have been critical of the very same flaws. arrogance. incompetence. vengence.

as a woman, i reject the notion that this has been an intensely sexist primary. i reject it, categorically! i think hillary supporters need to take a good long look at HER performance, and stop playing the victim card, too, and reject this tactic. not just in hillary's campaign, but if need be, in their own lives.

dijamo,

You're purposely selective. Neither Obama nor his campaign have demeaned Hillary for being a woman. As to whether some Obama supporters have, that depends on your point of view. What is clear is that Hillary's camp has assailed Obama for his race. Think Bill in S Carolina, Ferraro for a month, and Hillary's attempt to pair him with Farrakhan and others. Want more examples of despicable Clinton supporters saying despicably racist things about Obama. Here's one from Billy Glad's recent post on Obama and Iran, by kanne:

"Well first of all Obama is going to walk into the meeting with that Iranian fellow all shuckin and jivein and its gonna put that Iranian fellow in a jovial mood. Then Obama's going to give him one of those awesome black handshakes that only a whitey can give and that Iranian fellow is going to say, 'Hey, you be my peeps.' Then they're going to get down to the business and afterwards go out before the cameras and give great speeches saying nothing signifying nothing was accomplished and Obama is going to shuck and jive his way out of Iran saying, 'THATS what I'm talking about!' And the Obamaheads will say, 'Oh ya.'"

I used some of those, but not nut cracker or ball cutter, when she caved in to NBC. Although not in print. Only to the ceiling. You get the picture. :)
