Sexist Jokester Headlines Obama Fundraiser [Update]

Just as I thought. OK….keep posting cheap shots.

Don’t take constructive criticism.

And be ignored as rather stupid.

The reason you need to brush up on your logic is that no matter what anyone else does, your candidate sucks. You support and defend a candidate who throws away his supporters and democratic values for power. You can talk about John McCain all you want, but that doesn’t take Obama’s tepid non-admonition of lame, sexist remarks, or every other sexist things he did, away.
Don’t come here expecting people to respect you if you’re standing up for someone who clearly doesn’t care about your support one bit. I feel sorry for the people who read the stuff you write.

He is not on the record. Both those comments you quoted were not published by the MSM 16 years ago when he supposedly said them. No it was 16 years later when someone “supposedly” remembered he said those things. Three anonymous reporters who still don’t want to be known? You don’t find that the least bit suspicious? 2 of his aides that are no longer his aides that haven’t said a word about it. Come on now. Billy Bob told me that 30 years ago he remembered someone who remembered someone who said…PLEASE! Just as Bush was on the record as saying quit pushing the constitution on me, it’s just a piece of paper. Too bad it has been debunked over and over. Fact Check has a nice article on it you might want to read. You can’t debunk these cleaims because you have no video. Not one MSM reported it, and the reporters that claim to have heard it all wish to remain anonymous after 16 years! What kind of record is that?

sfhillary,

The sexism that Hillary was subjected to was systemic and institutional. The examples of McCain and Bernie Mack are individual manifestations of these racist constructs. Men make remarks like this every second of everyday somewhere in this country. I tended bar for many years and I can vouch for that. I can also vouch for the fact that there is very little that can be done to contain this kind of talk outside of the workplace.

What a man says to his wife cannot be legislated. It’s incumbent upon her to do something about it. And certainly anybody that’s been married or been around couples that fall into the George and Martha category of Albee’s infamous play, know that women can give as good as any man.

It’s also close to impossible to contain what comedians say. We have been living in a period of tasteless humor for a while now. The joke that Bernie told last night has been making email rounds among black people for about a year. When I received it last summer, I laughed. It was funny. But black people have a different sense of humor than whites. And the word ‘ho’ is part of our lexicon not yours. For years it was a fighting word, but true to the African American culture, the word was turned around a bit, if for no other reason than to keep down the fist fights. It’s the same principal that turned the word ‘badd’ into the meaning of ‘good.’ (Think of the Michael Jackson song.) The trouble arises when white people try to make use of our vernacular. It just doesn’t work. It’s a cultural thing. Sort of the way that kilts are Scottish.

There was a time when our vernacular stayed in our communities. But with tv, movies and now the Internet, along with dumb comedians like Bernie Mack who doesn’t have the good sense to realize that at a political fundraiser such a joke is inappropriate. All he proved was his stupidity and the fact that his material is clearly limited. But Bernie Mack is someone that doesn’t appeal to me. He appeals to the white executives out in Hollywood who are still making the same choices as in the days of Steppin Fetchit.

I’m frankly tired of every time we point out sexism from Obama, McCain’s words to his wife come up. If for no other reason than 2 wrongs don’t make it right. The vitriol and hatred in the sexism that emanated from the msm, the Obama camp during a professional Primary Election are among the reasons that we have remarks coming out of the mouths of men in casual conversation. American men are simply misogynist in their being. Hillary’s candidacy assaulted every vestige of the white American males ego whose parents from the cradle tell them they can grow up to be POTUS. Black American male, similarly were assaulted on racial lines. After all, black men got the vote first, so how dare a white female get to be president before them.

I wish the black entertainers who are so hungry to be a part of what they perceive to be an historical candidacy would dig themselves. Certain behavior simply doesn’t belong in political circles. PERIOD!

Now about the infamous Janet Reno/Chelsea Clinton joke. It was despicable. To me, the whole national obsession with adolescent Chelsea’s physical appearance was one of the more shameful manifestations in recent American society. It was immature, superficial and downright mean. (To quote Michelle Obama.)

The Limbaugh and McCain comments would not have been tolerated by me, private citizen. I would have invited each of these men outside and kicked their ever living ass.

But I’m not the president. And such behavior is not considered civilized and certainly not befitting any head of state. And so the Clintons behaved in a civilized manner, at least with McCain who in fact apologized and was said to feel very bad about the ‘joke.’ And Hillary forgave him and moved on. And Chelsea grew up to be a splendid young woman. Can’t find fault with the Clintons on their parenting skills.

And I dare anybody to say that it should not have happened just that way. Or that my approach, had Bill or Hillary invited these guys out into the alley, would have met with the approval of the country. If such behavior would be the correct tone to set for our youth, in particular?

So Obamabots, let the past go. The Clintons have and it’s their daughter. I’m starting to suspect that you like to bring it up as a cheap shot to pick on Chelsea.

And as far as what McCain said to his wife. Just like what happened in the Oval Office was none of my business, I’ll leave that between Mr. and Mrs. McCain. After all, how do we know what Cindy did to John behind closed doors?

I will not vote for Obama. I have a multitude of reasons why not. Sexism is but one. Nothing will get between my vote in November for McCain. Certainly not this that you morons keep bringing up ad nauseum.

Incidentally, I thought Obama was supposed to be a new kind of politician?

WIN WITHOUT ME!

I didn’t say he/she was an honest reporter, and please don’t get the impression that I’m defending “sfhilly”. People with huge egos turn me off.
I just have a feeling that he/she is a pundit for one of the news channels and is probably a writer for a magazine on the level of Vanity Fair. I’m a writer, too, with a background in journalism, although now I write fiction. I’m involved in a large writer’s group, and we critique each other’s work, so I’ve learned to distinguish writing voices. My first instinct is that “sfhillary” is a woman, although he claims to be a man. I could be wrong, of course.
