I continue to be utterly mystified.

353. What on earth are you talking about?

Perhaps you should read my post more carefully. I did not say that to criticize Hillary for her war vote is sexism. I said that there have been sexist attacks on Hillary for years that have fairly successfully created a public image of her as a cold hearted b!%#h, and that I refuse to interpret her vote (or anything else) with the assumption that she is cold hearted. Criticizing her vote is not the issue - I do so myself. Interpreting everything she does through the lens of the public image created about her by right wing smears, is a problem, however. I'm willing to look at her vote, look at the nuances, and to give her the benefit of the doubt by NOT assuming that she is the caricature that these right wing smears have made her out to be. That does not mean that I do not disagree with her. It just means that the LENS through which I am willing to criticize her is not the lens of these right wing smears. In other words, I am not going to attribute motivations to her that are based on a decades-old smear campaign against Hillary Clinton. I have criticized and will criticize her vote, although I have also been able to see more of the nuance of the vote, and I REFUSE to simply attribute meanness and evil intent to her.

Goodnight to you.
