Barack Obama has an opportunity to be very smart here....
He has a wife and young daughters and even though the girls are not active in the campaign, this would be a great opportunity for him to back HRC on her slamming MSNBC. He should agree that the media is not serving the American public and it would put the media on notice that this behavior will not be tolerated. I have no dog in this race yet specifically, I like the both of them.

Do you realize how many women (especially) would be so impressed with that? It would also give a unifying tone to the campaign instead of the sparring going on. Just a thought....

3. Please, I have clue. The media needs to be reined in and if she's
the one to do it, so be it. I admire her more today than yesterday for putting these people in their place...

4. Jenna campaigned for Smirk - was she ever called a whore by the MSM?
If so I would venture to guess that the person who called her that hasn't been heard from since.

6. Both bush twin were repeatedly called whores and sluts on DU. I didn't see many people
upset about that.

You should have seen it after the news from Argentina broke. Men, women, you name it were piling on with all sorts of vile and vulger statements.

Not many people said anything about that it was just plain wrong.

7. Now let's get back to my question. Was either of them called a whore by anyone in the MSM
for campaigning for her father? I am not talking about running through the streets naked in a foreign country.

8. Now it's moved out of the hall and into the streets? Where's the outrage at sexist remarks?
Or is it mostly reserved for a sexist remark about the Clintons?

Just sayin...

12. except that the media serves him well. Having said that, someone
posted, some form of "I think it was deplorable" from one of his surrogates.

He would not say that in one of his rallies and blow the whole thing open because, as I said, the media serves him well.
