woman on Democratic Underground. A woman likely to be the next candidate AND likely first Female President.....deserves a modicum of more respect here than what she would get at say.... Free Republic....YET she doesn't! What next....talk of her having "cankles" on Democratic Underground?

And it is tolerated....she is spoken of here sometimes exactly like she is over there....doesn't that disturb some at least a little?
