This very truthful and joyful OP by Boston Bean was hidden, this being DU and all.

It seems that some people thought it was aimed at them. If they were sexists it was, but if not there should be no problem.

I think I'll rec it even though it was hidden.

Because sane people, no matter who they voted for in the primary, understand that a Hillary presidency will be another glass ceiling shattered.

And if a Democratic site can't celebrate this fact, then what is the damn point?

[liberal N proud]

1. They want to wield the power of the jury while they can

[elleng]

2. NOTHING 'joyful' about it, THAT's the damn point.

[SunSeeker]

3. Thanks for bringing the OP to our attention, Squinch.

I'll Rec it-- you can still Rec a hidden OP!

[Squinch]

4. Yes we can rec it! And then let's make some history!

[Squinch]

7. Thank you, sheshe!

[awoke_in_2003]

10. I'm a Sanders supporter

but I rec'ed it for Bean. It was a stupid hide. Some of these people remind me of the saying "the guilty dog barks first".

[Squinch]

11. Thank you awoke! That means a lot!

I'll make sure she is aware of your post. I'm sure she'll appreciate it.

[awoke_in_2003]

14. She is one of my favorite DUers. nt

[boston bean]

17. awwww awoke!

Thank you! That is so nice to hear over all the bs!

You're a wonderful DUer! Forever my friend!

[awoke_in_2003]

19. I have tried to stay out of the primary fray...

in the end, the person who wins the nomination gets my vote. The SC is too important to piss away for the next couple of decades.

[boston bean]

20. I agree 100%

[RKP5637]

37. Same here, I just want a democrat in the WH 2016. Whoever is the nominee will

be OK with me. I like Bernie, but I will vote for Hillary, same reasons.

[Skittles]

39. or, THOU DOTH PROTEST TOO MUCH

[awoke_in_2003]

42. Yep. nt

13. Seriously, it looks like they are unable to comprehend that if they are not sexist, the OP doesn't

refer to them.

Lunacy!

PS make sure you read awoke in 2003's post. It was a compliment to you.

[awoke_in_2003]

15. You have the same thing...

going on with some white males on this board. If someone from the African American group bring up something about some white men, a contingent of people here go into a tizzy. For the record, I am a white, tizzy-free male

[Squinch]

16. I am so disturbed by the messages an AA member is getting on her email. It's very sick.

And its frightening that one segment of one group is so clueless that they feel that everything is about them, and that others need to be punished for that one segment's own blindness.

TIZZY FREE POSTERS UNITE!!!!!

[awoke_in_2003]

18. A lot of shit blew in the door...

during Rush's Operation Chaos during the 08 primaries.

[still_one]

27. I think the first two jurors have major comprehension problems. Did they even read the OP?

It wasn't directed at any specific person or person's, only those who hold sexist and misogynistic views

I wonder why some would be so defensive about that?

[murielm99]

21. I just recced it, too.

They will swarm and hide anything pro-Hillary. There's no question that a lot of Bernie supporters are anti-women. Modern day "Archie Bunkers".

[still_one]

26. what the hell was that hidden for? That should really be sent to the admins

[Squinch]

28. I can't think of a reason other than the jury being full of self-aware and sensitive sexists.

Here's the thought process I am imagining: "Hey! I'm a sexist, and she's telling me to suck it! That's not nice! That's sexist shaming!"



It had nothing to do with BS supporters, though many furious responders seemed to think it did. But all the complainers jumped to the conclusion that it was about them. Go figure.

[still_one]

29. That is exactly the point, the OP had nothing to with anyone except sexist and misogynists

[guillaumeb]

30. It was painted with a very broad brush.

But it should not have been hidden.

[Squinch]

32. What was painted with a very broad brush? A woman president would make sexists mad.

That was all the OP said. And it is a factual statement. What are you reading into it? What broad brush?

[guillaumeb]

34. To me it seemed that it could imply that sexism and misogyny are what motivates

anti-HRC sentiment. And that is what I meant. But I recommended it also. I think the jury system results in many things being hidden for little reason.

And I am not accusing the poster of implying that sexism and misogyny are behind all criticism of HRC. Obviously at least 4 jurors felt so.

[Squinch]

35. Thank you for the recs.

[AgerolanAmerican]

31. That you people actually believe that is a major problem

and it's really sad, your complete inability to disagree with someone without making slanderous and baseless accusations. You should be ashamed of yourselves for approving of it.

[Squinch]

33. It is slander to say that a woman president will make sexists mad? It seems to me to

be self evident.

I hope you aren't holding your breath till I become ashamed of approving of it.

I'm beginning to think that there are a few of you who would see slanderous accusations in a grocery list.

[AgerolanAmerican]

36. Who's the audience?

How many actual sexists and misogynists are going to read it? Probably zero. The implication is it's aimed at Sanders supporters, and that implication is neither subtle nor missed by anyone.

[Squinch]

40. Totally in your head. Certainly nowhere in that OP. I'm sure I can't convince you of that though,

so I won't waste my time trying to.

Have a lovely evening. And watch out for those vicious grocery lists!

Lucky Charms
Laundry soap
Peanut Butter

See how mean I am? I should be ashamed of myself!

[AgerolanAmerican]

43. Intelligence-insulting denials are one of the things that will make her lose

because the number of people stupid enough to take these things at face value is smaller than the number of FBI agents investigating her.

[Squinch]

44. *Sigh* blablablabla.

[Skittles]

38. you cannot upset the swooners

no indeed

[Squinch]

41. Skittles!!! I've missed you!

[Skittles]

45. be around in the middle of the night!

[Squinch]

46. And I go to bed and get up insanely early!

[Scuba]

47. Interesting what Hillary fans think is "truthful and joyful."

[Squinch]

48. For the first time in history, we will have a president who is a woman.

To me, that is joyful.

Your mileage may vary.

At any rate, the OP insulted no one other than sexists.

It seems "sexist shaming" is no longer allowed here. It's only a matter of time till "murder shaming" gets its constituency, it seems.

[Scuba]

49. Having a female President could be joyful, if she weren't a liar and war monger.

[Squinch]

50. That battle is long over. Now we're working on the general. If you need to continue to spout

Republican talking points and beat dead horses, you should take it to the BS or GDP forums.

[Scuba]

52. Sorry, but the genie is out of the bottle. Sanders may not win the nomination, but his ...

... political revolution is only beginning.

By the way, it's the left, not the right, that fears Hillary's war mongering ways. I've never heard anyone on the right criticize her love of war.

[JTFrog]

53. Sorry, but his so-called political revolution is a scam.

All your fear mongering will not work in this group. Save it for GDP where you can get a hundred high fives for saying something nasty about Hillary.

In this group, we are going to celebrate the first female POTUS.

[Squinch]

54. Ok. You go with that.

[riversedge]

51. Yup. still can. REC. Sad to see it locked. but lots of

paranoia on this board
