When that phone in the White House rings Hillary can answer

[whatchamacallit]

"Hello, 1995 Women's Conference attendee, can I help you?"

1. She can be the switchboard operator

when Obama is in the Oval Office.

7. This Is the Kind of Sexist Attack Hillary Supporters and Other Women Are Complaining About

If you want free reign to post bullshit like this and the OP, do not expect an ounce of sympathy when the GOPerverts start up with the racist attacks on Obama.

9. I was about to agree, then I saw the link

"Jamie Rubin, HRC's foreign policy adviser, was on MSNBC today. When asked to specifically list Hillary's foreign policy credentials, Mr. Rubin responded it was the 1995 Women's Conference in China."

Kinda hard to assert sexism when it is regarding a quote from Hillary's advisor on the subject.

10. It's Right Up There With "Iron My Shirt"

..

[stevenleser]

13. Except that it is her campaign that said it...

... if you want to assert sexism, you have to go to her campaign person who said it.

[panader0]

11. How is it sexist? Temper temper

The ad she ran was BS. Face it.

[whatchamacallit]

12. You'd be right if I were, as you assume, insinuating Hillary is only qualified to be a receptionist

I'm not. I think she'd be 10X the president McCain would. One of my biggest issues is the persistent, bogus, assumption of her foreign policy experience. This was simply a snarky way of illustrating it. It was not meant to be demeaning in a sexist way.

[anigbrowl]

14. She's the one who made it about answering the phones.

I used to be a switchboard operator and I'm a guy, so I think it's sexist of you to assume that this is a specifically female role.

[hfojvt]

19. reminds me of another guy who used to be an operator

He said guys would call and start talking smutty to him, expecting him to be a woman. He also said that with the break-up of AT&T, a bunch of good paying operator jobs were lost.

[whatchamacallit]

21. Ha wow, you mean they'd just launch into it without waiting to hear the operator's voice?

Or did they maybe think she was a "husky" girl? Crazy ass mofos...

[Wayjose]

16. or she can ask Monica Lewinsky

to answer the phone when she finishes washing the Blue Dress...

2. I must have seen that commercial

11 times yesterday-4 or 5 alone on Hardball and Tucker twice-Real Time a couple more-talk about free advertising-but the MSM HATES Hillary-oh yea I fast forwarde or muted it 10 out of the 11

[whatchamacallit]

3. Yeah, that ad is an empty fear-peddling turd.

[SoFlaJet]

4. it reminds me

of the ad the GOP is fear-mongering us with on the Telecom immunity

[Rosa Luxemburg]

5. I'm amazed that she can stand up and lie about her non foreign experience

when it boils down to it she has not much foreign experience at all.

[whatchamacallit]

6. I'll grant her 8 years hanging around in the White House

and if she paid attention she might have picked a little up, but her whole "I've got vast foreign policy experience" claim is a myth.

[ShaneGR]

8. So its bad that she was at the 1995 women's conference?

huh?

[anigbrowl]

15. No, but it's not all that impressive either. /nt

[Rosa Luxemburg]

22. right, if most of her foreign experience hinges on these little trips abroad?

[yardwork]

17. This is the kind of thing that makes it very difficult for me to support Obama.

A word to the wise. If I were Obama's campaign, I would discourage this kind of thing. It's counterproductive.

[whatchamacallit]

18. A few questions

Do you support Obama?
Do you believe the squabbling of a handful of people on a forum could adversely effect Obama's campaign?
And if so, do you really think they should show up here and discourage it?

Do you really have a point?
