This Could Get Interesting...

Obama shows his misogynist colors, and Breda opens up a big ol' can of Librarian Whoop-Ass.

Smart money's on the world's most dangerous librarian...

That is all.

I'm calling total bullshit on this story.
McCain used the same phrase, Obama was using it as far back as 2007.
Not 6 months ago Palin herself criticized Hillary Clinton for her "perceived whine" hurting women who want to be taken seriously.
Full blow-by-blow espose' is at my blog. http://theeclecticone.com

wasn't Obama the one who promised to never use smear tactics and "politics as usual" - another broken promise that needs to be reasoned away, I suppose.

Thanks for the link, JayG.

So wait a minute breda, when your guy says in direct and specific referrence to a woman it's not sexism and its ok. When obama says it in regard to his rival's patently unbelievable claim to clean up washington it's automatically sexist.

When the DNC bends over to attack mccain strictly on his voting record that's dirty pool.

When the RNC uses their entire convention to make personal attacks on obama from denigrating his experience to to calling him elitist that's just fine?

Double standards much?

I've called BS when the Obamaniacs went after mccain and palin with a distortions and rumors. Where is my counterpart on the other side?

Did McCain pause for applause when he used the line, Bill?

Obama knew exactly what he was saying. He knew how it would be received; he knew how the nutroot faithful would react.

Claiming otherwise is disingenous at best.

ESPECIALLY when Team Obama claims that "articulate" is a racist code word.

Like when Biden said it.

Can't have it both ways. Can't be super sensitive to ANYTHING that could even remotely be considered racist and then turn around and expect this comment not to draw fire.

That's bullshit.

Gimme a break Jay.
When Biden said "He's clean and articulate" the obvious missing part was: For a black guy.

This wasn't some hyper sensitive silliness, since that precise phrase has been used for decades to patronize black people.

Obama said:

“John McCain says he’s about change, too — except for economic policy, health care policy, tax policy, education policy, foreign policy and Karl Rove-style politics,” Mr. Obama told his supporters here. “That’s just calling the same thing something different.

“You can put lipstick on a pig, but it’s still a pig. You can wrap an old fish in a piece of paper called change. It’s still gonna stink.”


To call that a sexist remark isn't a reach, it's plain bullshit.

Anyway, I apologize. I broke my own rule again: never discuss contentious issues over a bulletin board. You can't have a conversation, you can only have point-counterpoint, which isn't a discussion at all, it's 2 people talking at each other. Not useful at any time, and particularly not when you give a damn about the other people involved.

Have a terrific rest of your day:)

If he's so worried about it don't you think he would have thought about it before he said it? I thought he was some super intellectual or something...
