227. Gee, so we need to make it all better for her by making her Prezident!

Issues still not important, I see. Well, they are important to me, and anyone who gets into politics, and knows how to sling a smear about being Muslim or having the support of hard-working white people, but cannot face the sticks and stones part - maybe should not be in politics.

I am a woman, and this playing of the gender card is downright embarrassing.

And - DO YOU REALLY THINK THAT THE ONLY REASON WE ALL DO NOT SUPPORT HILLARY IS BECAUSE OF THIS CRAP?
Really? All the supporters of other candidates are not supporting Hillary because she is a woman? You think the GOP would have happily voted for her, but won't - because of names? or are you just concerned that names might affect low-information voters who do not look at the issues?

If Hillary is that thin-skinned, then she is not presidential material.

I've not seen any of those here. ibegurpard Oct 2015 #1

Crone Ive seen here. boston bean Oct 2015 #4

You haven't? Here: MineralMan Oct 2015 #5

All of those links, with the exception of one, are from DU2.. frylock Oct 2015 #9

DU2 is still DU. MineralMan Oct 2015 #12

But only with the supporters, and not the candidate.. frylock Oct 2015 #23

On your first link the poster was tombstoned. So even if it was posted on DU, it appears the Cleita Oct 2015 #84

So, some people we know nothing about Mass Oct 2015 #15

I only mentioned "her opponents." MineralMan Oct 2015 #19

You knew darn well what reaction you were going to get by posting this OP with the political stillwaiting Oct 2015 #213

"Bitchy" LoveIsNow Oct 2015 #53

Who tries to pretend that no opposition to Clinton is sexist? Are you talking about repubs? Vattel Oct 2015 #3

See my #5 and do your own searching on DU. MineralMan Oct 2015 #7

Fail. Only one of those posts suggests that she is not a victim of sexism. Vattel Oct 2015 #13

3 out of 4 of those links are from DU2. frylock Oct 2015 #11

You didn't link to any here on DU leftofcool Oct 2015 #8

No, I did not. That was not my point. MineralMan Oct 2015 #16

Yes, some of the worst offenders from then whatchamacallit Oct 2015 #21

They don't like to acknowledge that. frylock Oct 2015 #56

Yup whatchamacallit Oct 2015 #62

so.... it must be a whine from the ignored Hillary supporters Mnpaul Oct 2015 #132

You forgot. Indepatriot Oct 2015 #10

Yes, but none of those are gender specific whatchamacallit Oct 2015 #14

what? No male candidate is referred to as shrill, loud etc.... Florencenj2point0 Oct 2015 #200

I don't see any sexist epithet there. Doctor_J Oct 2015 #22

blame them for being on guard? no. blame them for making stuff up? Doctor_J Oct 2015 #25

At least now Sanders calls his campaign's comments "inappropriate" Rose Siding Oct 2015 #26

That disappoints me. I liked that comment. Autumn Oct 2015 #29

Where did she accuse him of being sexists? Thinkingabout Oct 2015 #33

Read my post again please. Autumn Oct 2015 #37

Why should her supporters apologize for for Sanders inappropriate remark? Thinkingabout Oct 2015 #40

His remarks weren't inappropriate. Nor were they sexist as her supporters claim Autumn Oct 2015 #44

See post #26. Thinkingabout Oct 2015 #47

Your point? I'm talking about Bernie being accused of sexism by Hillary supporters Autumn Oct 2015 #50

I am not trying to rewrite facts, I don't see a need to continue to post about this situation over Thinkingabout Oct 2015 #55

yes it is sexist.... telling a woman not to shout is sexist Florencenj2point0 Oct 2015 #201

You got a link to Bernie telling her not to shout? Take your time I'll wait for you to find it. Autumn Oct 2015 #204

Crybabyism AgingAmerican Oct 2015 #230

You won't find any instance of Bernie attaching any sexist name names to her or any woman. Autumn Oct 2015 #27

He addressed her by name. He did not say "gun debaters." SunSeeker Oct 2015 #32

Keep trying. Autumn Oct 2015 #36

What part of "I can tell Secretary Clinton..." do you not understand? nt SunSeeker Oct 2015 #49

Which part of he was addressing her comments do YOU not understand? She was not yelling, Autumn Oct 2015 #51

"She was not yelling, why would he accuse her of yelling if she wasn't yelling?" SunSeeker Oct 2015 #52

Right, she wasn't shouting. thesquanderer Oct 2015 #93

Thank you!! arcane1 Oct 2015 #122

Great links proving the "shouting" wasn't directed at her. Autumn Oct 2015 #127

And yet he addressed "Secretary Clinton" by name, not "people on both sides." SunSeeker Oct 2015 #151

Actually, it would be odd NOT to JimDandy Oct 2015 #182

If he was addressing other people, he should not have addressed Clinton by name. nt SunSeeker Oct 2015 #187

The fact that he was addressing his response TO her... thesquanderer Oct 2015 #203

Interesting point. SunSeeker Oct 2015 #214

that all THE shouting, not all YOUR or all HER shouting frylock Oct 2015 #57

He used her actual named instead of "your." nt SunSeeker Oct 2015 #156

Imagine that. He addressed her by her correct name and title. Why, I ougghtta... merrily Oct 2015 #166

Well.... sheshe2 Oct 2015 #174

Untrue and a non sequitur, but keep trying! You're bound to nail it soon or later. Law of averages. merrily Oct 2015 #175

Untrue? sheshe2 Oct 2015 #181

What is untrue - or at least opinion rather than fact - is... thesquanderer Oct 2015 #243

Then he should have addressed the people he was talking about instead of "Secretary Clinton." nt SunSeeker Oct 2015 #177

One addresses the person TO whom one is speaking, not the ones ABOUT whom one is speaking. merrily Oct 2015 #192

His timing and wording indicated he was speaking to and about Clinton. SunSeeker Oct 2015 #212

He has used that exact wording for years to speak generally and not to accuse any merrily Oct 2015 #229

He has not been telling "Secretary Clinton" she's shouting "for years." SunSeeker Oct 2015 #231

Correct. He never told Secretary Clinton she was shouting and her claim of sexism is trumped up merrily Oct 2015 #232

Oh but he did. IF he didn't mean it, he should say so. nt SunSeeker Oct 2015 #233

No, he did not and he has said so. merrily Oct 2015 #234

Got a link? nt SunSeeker Oct 2015 #235

He said it on national TV several times. merrily Oct 2015 #236

No, he never apologized nor even said he didn't mean it. SunSeeker Oct 2015 #237

He did say her interpretation was not his meaning and he had nothing for which to apologize. merrily Oct 2015 #238
