In reply to the discussion: I am getting a bit tired of constant victim status for Hillary [View all]Bernblu
(441 posts)Hillary complains about how the Republicans treat her. Then she goes and demeans as sexist a man who has spent his political life fighting for woman and children for using the word "Hollering." First of all Bernie wasn't talking about her personally. I saw him use the same word and phrase in a speech he gave in Tucson. it was very clear to anyone listening that he using in the context of two sides in the debate on gun control "hollering" at each other. And even if he was talking about her, so what? What is she, a shrinking violet? For heaven's sake, she is running for the most powerful office in the world!
The equivalent meme for Bernie would be to accuse her of being anti-semite because she made a disparaging comment about his waving his hands when he speaks as many Jews and Italians do. Of course, Bernie would never do anything so ridiculous but Hillary seems to be wiling say anything for a few votes. It's pathetic, sad, and disappointing. If she keeps this up she will lose my vote in the GE if she's the nominee,
