You're their equivalent from Obama's fanbase. :(

You do Obama no favors by making posts like this, especially with the sexist overtones.

I watched the woman in the video, the one who was thrown out of the meeting. I recognized her, I know this woman, or at least someone like her. And maybe others in her know someone like her. She's probably been told to shut up by her husband for many years, and she took it because, well, you just don't get divorced. That's what her parents, and her era and values told her. Her father, too, might have told her to shut up. Her brothers, too.

She probably has worked for an abusive male boss, who also told her to shut up, gave her demeaning tasks to do, and let her know that where she was is where she was going to stay because she didn't deserve to be promoted. And then, at some point, younger less experienced women began to be promoted over her, particularly minority women, and that made her angry, and she still carries that anger.

And who can blame her? She's been made to feel like a second-class citizen for a lot of her adult life. This is real gender discrimination and abuse. It has happened, and continues to happen. The anger that these women feel is not coming out of nowhere. I've seen women of her age still, today, being told to shut up by the men in their lives -- I see it at the grocery store, at the doctor's office, in restaurants.

To this woman, Geraldine Ferraro and others like her are heroines. They broke through glass ceilings and paved the way. Hillary Clinton is the ultimate glass ceiling-breaker. These women have wanted to see someone like Clinton break through all the way to the top, the real ultimate top. They're disappointed, and from their perspective, "the boys" got in the way yet again. Same old story, to them.

They are not "psycho old women." Not at all. They have lived through real gender discrimination and have been traumatized by it. I completely understand where they're coming from, as I've seen this in the families of people close to me. They are mothers, sisters, aunts, grandmothers, best friends, and they're angry, disillusioned, hurt. They're a lot of things, but they are most definitely not "psycho."

By all means continue to see the world in black and white if that helps you get a grasp on things. Or better yet, get back on your meds.

Too much merlot.

I am so sick of small minded folks projecting onto entire groups the behavior or characteristics of one or a few of that group. I think such is referred to as "bigotry."

I find your post extremely offensive, not to mention ignorant.

You know what's funny? You never see the "reasonable" Hillary supporters shout down the pro-Hillary trolls.

I'm not a fan of Hillary, but this post is pretty over the top. Think it if you must, but don't say it. The job now is to end the rancor, not enflame it.

Hillary understands completely that we are living in 2008 and not 1968; she wouldn't have been able to run as successfully as she has in 1968. Don't confuse some of her most vocal, frustrated partisans with Hillary herself. As an Obama supporter, I sure don't want to be equated to someone who calls Hillary "the antichrist bitch."

I was disturbed by the video footage from the hearing too. I think Merlot is a little harsh in language and tone (calling someone a bitch isn't going to help them overcome their cries of sexism), but I'm pretty much in agreement.

Last week I had to train for two days with a group that included three or four really, truly, sexist, men (White and Black). Normally, these men are my adversaries in a labor management relationship. (I work for a union.) Their piggy ways just egg me on and make me fight harder.

At the training, I started to feel really bad for the non piggy men and women who work with these guys. I get to work with men and women I respect. I don't think men at my work get away with not pulling their weight or BSing their ways though life. I don't think the same is true for these management men I trained with. These guys were rude, condescending, and to be frank, really dumb.

So I started wondering if the women in the group were pro Hillary and if so, did they project on to Barack Obama a sense that men have it easy and enjoy power and status just because of their sex/gender.

I'm an Obama supporter, and I don't think Obama is the same as the men I trained with. He's qualified, well spoken, and thoughtful. But, I can see how people who have been pro Hilary from the start bought onto that notion that Obama is not at all the way I describe him. I can understand how disappointing the primaries have been for them.

Anyway, this "revelation" of mine is nothing new really, and I've read and heard about it before. I just didn't get it until now. I'm a little sheltered in my dogooder life, and I don't have to put up with the kind of crap that most women do.

Well, calling this woman psycho and old (as if those were bad things!) immediately discredits your argument to a level just one notch above her racist rant. So you don't win for losing, but merlot adds nothing to any debate.
As far as her tantrum, it should not be dismissed, but neither should it be tolerated. Since she is part of our citizenry, any representative should heed her anger and try to address and redress those causes of her anger that may be justified (e.g. a lifetime under sexism, whatever). AND ever single person in that room had a moral obligation to argue back to her that her comments were petty, ad hominem, illogical, hateful, cruel and racist -- and have NO PLACE in the Democratic Party, or any public forum.
