Re: U.S. Presidential Election 2008
and then there's this horseshit. Clinton has played the gender card and nobody seems to be bothered by it.

Quote:
Media coverage of the presidential race, Mrs Clinton told The Washington Post, has been "deeply offensive to millions of women".

Pundits have been obsessed, she said, with the idea that racism was a barrier to her Democratic rival becoming the first black president of the United States. "But it does seem as though the press at least is not as bothered by the incredible vitriol that has been engendered by comments and reactions of people who are nothing but misogynists," she said.


Kathy Ryan, 67, a retired teacher and local Democratic officials also blamed the media. "If they're women, they're Obama women who want her out. If it's men, the basis of it seems to be sexist. It's subtle but it's there," she said.
It just makes me think that she's leveling serious, vile accusations against the media. To suggest that their own sexism is running their coverage and that this bias has been a clear detriment to her campaign is nothing to take lightly. She needs to back this up, or don't go there

Imagine if Barack bitched about the racism of the appalachian region. He'd be skewered.
