So you think the 30 years of attacks on Hillary Clinton are legitimate, then? That's why it's okay to reach back to 1972 for some mud to sling?

The Brady Bill votes are bad. However, you were trying to make a point about misogyny and the 2016 candidates, not gun control. I have plenty of problems with Bernie Sanders' defense of the gun industry, but that was not the reason you chose "rape fantasies" to define Bernie Sanders' attitude towards women.

You can definitely bring up the campaign and the complaints about how women were treated. The lack of attention given to the SCOTUS is another discussion, but it was likely seen as too esoteric an argument at the time to win over the voting public. Those are valid points for discussion. Going way back to 1972 to mischaracterize a badly framed short essay is not.
