“Hillary Harridans”
By dcmediagirl on August 21, 2008 at 1:07 PM in Current Affairs
Shorter Dahlia Lithwick: All you women out there who are still crowing on about sexism and the Clinton campaign are actually hurting women, since you’re just setting yourselves up for negative media coverage which, by the way, you totally deserve and for which the media are blameless. Comment away.
She must have been rejected at birth.
who the frig is that and who the frig gives a frig???
pfffffffft
a bunch of no nothing no bodies
You’re right again!
I just read a phenomenal (pro-Puma?) column in the 21 Aug. Boston Herald by Margery Eagan!
“Obama’s Not Over the Hill Yet….still needs her…” by M. Eagan
An amazing confession by an ex-Obamabot (journalist Eagan) who now has some pretty decidedly shocking things to say about her ex-Sweetie. Seems that this Boston Herald reporter thinks that issues that count the most with voters are way above Sweetie’s Pay Grade!
Ah, can the harridan pumas (both male and female) say: We told You So! No, not yet. Wait till November when Sweetie will be running for cover from the shattered DNC’s ceiling’s explosion…the millions Hillary cracks…
Pumas, let ‘em hear you roar!
Actually, she must have been dropped on her head at birth.
That could also explain her hostility toward any woman defending herself.
Disappointing, she is usually a pretty good writer.
I once felt that way about M Dowdeedoodoo
They may know how to string a sentence together in some bright witty form but if they are depending on that for their $$$ I’m sure they can be bought, swayed, screwed or threatened to say what will make their BOSS feel good! And even convince themselves that they feel that way too!
The willing spread of ignorance
I will always fight against that. No matter who is doing it.
Indeed
I just love how one woman’s perspective now represents all woman, good God, we aren’t joined at the hip, we are individuals. We have things like our own opinions, interests, and political views. Seriously it doesn’t get any more sexist than claiming something is harming women, because you have a differing opinion, and to call it “crowing” is a a way to minimize a voice of decention.
LOL at Dahlia; poor soul she must have a huge complex for being a woman. Women like Dahlia are the reason why sexisim is rampant: she seem to be the typical woman that laughs away at sexist jokes b/c she has the need to belong to the boys club. Poor weak soul.
Look around the country, an abundance you’ll find of
Mediocre minds
Sift trough the fodder as the sane justice declines because of
Mediocre minds
Shrouded under cover, the most flamboyant guise hides a
Mediocre mind
You got yours but you can never bend mine with your
Mediocre minds
When the cry foul you had better watch out becaus you never know which
aptitude they’r griping about
Don’t act too smart for their stenoscopic ways
You’ll be discarded away
Reason’s not to be what the privileged define with their
Mediocre minds
So many sighted people act so helplessly
Blind from their
Mediocre minds
If you want attention then you will be asked to bend but the surest
insurrection is enlightenment
Then you can live outside inharmoniously
An enemy
They wanna keep me locked away
`Cuz I’m an overactive brain
Leaders, presidents and the nightly news guys cater to
Mediocre minds
Reason’s not to be what the privileged define with their
Mediocre minds
You got yours but you can never bend mine with your
Mediocre minds
The only natural thing that I despise are
Mediocre minds
Bad Religion “Mediocre Minds”
and might I add FUCK YOU DAHLIA LICKWICK
Sounds like she needs her meds. Bwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa those clinton bitch’s aren’t falling in line, what shall we do? Bwwwaaaaaaaaabbbbwwwwwwaaaaaaabbwwwwaaaaa insult them more! Bwwwwwaaaaaaaaa bwwwwwwwwwwaaaaaaa, I’m a genius.
Who was it that said “there is a special place in hell for women who don’t support other women”.
Geraldine?
Madeleine Albright
Well so Madeleine Albright could have added “there is a special place in hell for women who don’t support other women…who are pro-women rights”. No way I support a sexist or patriarchal women. And this dhalia_trash_sexist_repugn_retarded is absolutely clueless.
Hey I wrote a screenplay on Emily Bronte’s Wuthering Heights and “ghostly Catherine Earnshaw” as “a bitter madwoman hellbent on revenge”? I don’t think so. This columnist just has a problem with strong women characters.
She must be Nance Poloseee sister?
that’s the Obama compaign strategy. categorize, insult, divide, intimidate, isolate, then expect ppl to support the candidate. reminiscent of junior h.s.
She’s obviously in love with her abuser. Why do victims stay with their abusers??
Roseeriter,
Women stay with their abusers…yes “The Stockholm Syncrome” where prisoners fell in love even with their jailers. Remember Pattie Hurst?
It’s above Sweetie’s pay grade, though, to express any opinion as he’s still looking hte medical encyclopaedias for “megalomania” and “narcissistic personality”. Not such a good speller the boy without a telempropter!
Yes, which may explain why some blacks turn to Islam, the religion in the main part of their capture’s. Did any one notice Kerry’s remark about BO being more able to deal with Arab Nations? He hem hawed around and said it was because BO was black, but I think he just almost stepped in it, him of the
weaselthin face withpouffedupwell sprayedhelmet ofhair.So does that mean everyone is suppose to fall in line and go along with the program?
So…you’re NOT a group of enraged, aggrieved conspiracy-mongers who are willing to vote against themselves in order to make a point? Did I miss something?
Your brain ??
Ignorance is bliss, and Tom’s the happiest idiot in the Obama bleachers.
You obviously missed alot! You miss the point, you fail to understand what Obama means to women and you are so misguided by Obamas preachings that you refuse to see how women in general are being treated.
Stick to the subject. Dahlia is calling you out for being exactly what the supposedly sexist media believes you are. Deal with that and then we can talk about sexism in general society as a whole.
Fuck off boybot.
Yeah rumpled hair, stains on the blouse and wide-eyed…I’ve been called out! Save it! I have heard this argument against women since I was born. Why are women always tied to insanity if they express an opinion? Where was the description of PUMA men in this article?
This is not for men! this is ONLY for dirty, repugnant, not docile and complaining women. Men are valious, women not (like in a lot of third world countries) Oh s*it I forgot it’s the same in whatever part of the world!
We don’t give a damn what the media or anyone else “believe we are.” WE know who we are and what we are fighting for. We have done our research, studied our history, and know our rights. We don’t need your approval, and since you don’t “need” our votes (thanks to Donna B), it won’t be a problem right Tom?
Tom we are not hurting ourselves, we are the ones we have been waiting for. STOP THE HATE tom!
F— you and the rest of the stupid Obamabots everywhere, Tom. (Especially the silly MSM - like the people give a s— what those peabrains think of Hillary supporters.)
Obama’s grossly underqualified for the Presidency. Plus he’s unprincipled scum. He’s not going to be the next President of the United States. Period.
(Unless, of course, he cheats his ass off and steals the election like he did the Democratic nomination.)
Go back to Jim Jones - er, Barack Obama, and tell him to stop sending paid bloggers to our sites harrassing people. It’s getting old.
So, what’s your point tj. So, we are exactly what the media says we are. So what?
WE can talk about sexism? who the hell are you? WE don’t need lessons from you, DILDO.
Tommy boy all I heard from Obama supporters like Donna Brazile was that you don’t need Clinton supporters so why all of the sudden Obama’s media flunkies are caring about how female Clinton supporters look in the media?
I suspect the reason of this out burst of concern is that the hardest of the hardcore of the Obama fellowship saw the polls and he’s trending in some trouble waters and there’s enough pissed off Hillary supporters that will cost Obama the election.
The subject IS a rigged primary, with the DNC and Dem party leadership covertly choosing a decidedly unqualified candidate, setting up his campaign for him, then rigging it to destroy and defeat the other better qualified candidate - who happened to be a woman! It is as much about the hijacking of the nominating process as it is about the woman.
As far as “hurting ourselves to prove a point” -that’s what all of the above counted on - that we could easily be swayed by the prospects of a right-wing supreme court that could undo things we helped legislate. We ARE sticking to the subject regardless of that. We will not be blackmailed into voting for the unqualified candidate.
you presume that PUMAs are female. you presume that being attacked means being wrong. you presume we give a shit what you and the media thinks.
Ok, Tommy boy….so if someone here calls you a retarded asshole who eats his own poop, and enough people chime in and agree with that person, that makes it true, eh? That’s what you’re saying…that if enough people, despite their agenda, say something, it magically becomes fact. Even if it’s bullshit and propaganda.
Wow, you Obots are something. So fearful. So anxious to follow the crowd, and so anxious for others to do so as well. You’re all like lobotomized border collies, frantically herding but with no sense of purpose.
Your fear is showing. As Buttcrack Dick says “Big Time…”
Be prepared for more anxiety…it’s a-coming….
I’m voting against Barry Soetoro, does that answer your question?
How many times did Dahlia write to the DNC and Barry to ask them to stop the misogyny in the media? How many phone calls did she make to the msm? How many times did she hear Hillary supporters being called whores and the c-word? Barry and his supporters need to stop with the fuckin’ whinning.
Democracy Tom. You missed the part about democracy.
Tom thinks speaking out against misogyny is somehow bad for women. Nice Obamalogic there.
Yes.
Your brains.
We are not hurting ourselves, we will hurt team obamprah because they stood complicent.
That little fact stings.
Remember, we are the ones we’ve be waiting for after all.
How about we can’t vote for a FRAUD, who is not qualified to be POTUS. Having a (d) after your fake name doesn’t get my (i) vote.
All of Dahlia’s ranting doesn’t change the fact that Hillary was the subject of blantantly sexist comments by the media. I can see that and I’m a man.
You didn’t read it, did you?
Clue: third paragraph from the bottom.
“They have fallen prey to an “echo chamber that promises hope, but only delivers deceit by offering claims of something that will not come.”"
Funny but that sounds like what’s happening in barkys FISAland.
Let’s translate this into political speak:
“They have fallen prey = Implying “They” are Victims
to an “echo chamber that promises hope,
but only delivers deceit= of something I consider(the writer) not to be true
by offering claims of something that will not come.”” =By making what I consider to be false promises(the writer)
This is opinion, as much is not fact, and it’s insulting.
I’ll admit I skipped the article. I’d rather set my hair on fire and put it out with a claw hammer than vote for Obama, and I’m not interested in what some lay-down bitch has to say about my femininity.
trolltommy
Take it from MAXINE
ever notice how people who tell you to calm down are the ones who got you mad in the first place?
DOH
go HOME Obama
you don’t belong here
Yep just like when someone starts a sentence by saying “don’t be offended”. I usually tell them OK, shut up and I wont be.
and usually that (don’t be offended) comes as an unsolicited opinion to begin with
I will say “wait, did I even ASK for your opinion here?”
and vice versa
“don’t ask for my opinion if you don’t want the truth, no offense”
Just yesterday I dumped the cat box.
I am MUCH more concerned about cat shit than about how I am seen by the MSM, Obamabots, my mailman or the young woman who rings up my groceries at the market.
Coming to THIS site and presenting arguments that a failure to vote for Obama is against my interests or that I will somehow miss the, “Hopey-Changey” boat, or that Yuppie wannbes will think I am unhip is so far below ludicrous because I, personally could care less about those things.
I will NOT vote for a candidate whose resume can be inscribed in a postage stamp, whose campaign employed low tactics and whose meme is: “You don’t worship OBAMA? You Racist Fuck!”
The average Obamabot telling me about electoral politics is about like an 8 year-old boy telling me about screwing.
Just not near as funny.
She sounds guilty enough to me to have a desperate need to explain away her sins by blaming others. Sound familiar anyone? I mean B Hussein Obama does that constantly. Always explaining away their guilty sins and never taking responsibility for their wrongs. Blaming others of what they are guilty of is getting sooo old. Now they are doing tv ads with subliminal messages like the wordOLD politics..it’s no longer “b-itch”. It’s OLD. I hope he disppears. MOST Americans can’t stand him. He didn’t get all those votes..no he stole votes
Poor baby
OsamaObama. To hear his lament, you’d never guess that Obama repeatedly has argued that McCain picks his positions out of ambition. Obama recently told a group, “The price (McCain) paid for his party’s nomination has been to reverse himself on position after position.”Explain this away..
We can’t drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times … and then just expect that other countries are going to say OK. That’s not leadership. That’s not going to happen.”
– Barack Obama
B Hussein is an idiot and a hypocrite. He won’t take care of his own. But he wants to take care of the world by putting his hand in our pockets and giving it away.
I am so disgusted. A hypocrite in words and deeds.
NOT fit to lead our country.
“The price (McCain) paid for his party’s nomination has been to reverse himself on position after position.”
Did he really have the nerve to say this after flipping on key issues in the span of one month? He’s unbelievable.
you deserve…doesn’t seem to understand individuality, versus, becoming a sheeple.
Stick to the subject
Answer the question, Aren’t you the polite fella.
Mop the floors Cindarella…Hey Tom, don’t come in here and demand sh*t!
Womanhood: A crime for which the victim is expected to be grateful.

Sad but true.
Fortunately there are always all these uppity women that just can’t quite pull off the gratitude thing, LOL.
Remember Oprah’s gratitude journal? I get the point, it’s a lovely idea, but I still wanted to use my journal to smack her upside the head with.
personally if I had a choice
I’d prefer to be a woman
but maybe I only feel that way because I happen to be one?

OPRAH! PFFFFTTTT!

Yup, we are hurting ourselves when WE STAY SILENT AND ALLOW OTHERS TO WALK OVER US OR ON US!
HERE IS A MEMO FOR YOU:
ON THE CUTTING EDGE: New Non-Partisan Group To Promote Women’s Agenda
A Movement Is Born: The New Agenda
http://thestilettoblog.com/2008/08/13/on-the-cutting-edge-new-nonpartisan-group-to-promote-womens-agenda.aspx
WOMEN COUNT
http://womencount.org/
WomenCount staked out a specific goal – to “stop the silence” about sexism in the media and throughout our society. Indeed, it is not enough simply to identify examples of gender bias; the Democratic Party needs to create a system of accountability. The Platform draft does this and concludes the language with, “Responsibility lies with us all.” We’ll take it.
“It was only two weeks ago that WomenCount launched our campaign to “Stop the Silence!” on sexism,”, said Stacy Mason, Executive Director of WomenCount.org, “ In that short time our grassroots efforts reached party leaders, the media, and voters around the country.
“ In Denver, it will relaunch as a “MoveOn.org for women’s issues and ideas.”

I wish you PUMAs would stop with the 18 million votes crap. Most of those people will be voting democrat this fall. Only a handfull, namely you PUMAs will not.
You keep telling yourself that.
I am constantly amazed by sellouts like Taylor Marsh and others who would love nothing more than for women to remain victims and be subservient little followers. Tells you a lot about who they are and why most women are glad they are nothing like them.
If women take down Obama I say hell yes! It is about time to take serious action and the Taylor Marsh’s of the world can continue to be victims while the rest of us stand up for what is right.
It’s the queen bee syndrome…. they are delighted to be the “chosen” females in a male world and they don’t give a hoot about other women, or anyone with lesser power, having the opportunity to shine. Women like these need to be identified and exposed. They do not understand collaboration. They are competitive and conniving. They are not our friends.
The example that comes to mind is Nancy Pelosi. A real hypocrit about advancing women, as long as it wasn’t Hillary. Nancy is #3 and won’t allow women to go any higher. She was willing to damage the whole party to stay in power.
So true! T. Marsh M. Dowd and this idiot all suffer the same syndrome.
I do NOT GET IT
I served with one of the LAST groups of women (wacs) basic training w/out men! 2nd group to do it with MEN’s 3 mile and men’s push ups (they were getting us used to the way the men were doing it before dumping us in with them)
That was a mistake imo. (putting us with men for basic training)
But maybe that’s because I am holding on to my fond memories of UNITY surviving basic training doing it the MEN’s way (where they said our bodies couldn’t handle it!!! It was inspiring and I treasure to this day those friendships!
I don’t recall any of those women being catty and backstabbing. But there were 40 of us so I’m not saying it didn’t happen.
It was just that we were in it together trying to accomplish something none (or not many) had done before us. And that damn run about killed me! LOL
I will never understand how women can treat each other so badly now. It’s so sad. Breaks my heart.
oorah? sniff
“…they are delighted to be the ‘chosen’ females in a male world and don’t give a hoot about other women…they are competitive and conniving…not our friends”.
Very true!! That nails Nancy Pelosi. She dissed Jane Harmon her fellow CA Congresswoman who was in line for an appt NP was to make - she gave it to a man. I’m convinced she went after Hillary since she is third in line to be POTUS and SHE wants to be the first woman president or at the very least wants no other woman eclipsing her power and position. Good luck on that one, Missy! After all you have done to sabotage this election, you will be lucky to hold onto your house seat.
They don’t understand collaboration with those like them, but they sure as hell do understand collaboration with the OPPRESSORS of those like them!
I like that definition–”Queen Bee Syndrome.” It sure does sum this Dahlia up, as well as many others.
I really thought that intelligent young women got over that after high school…
Let see if you put this comment on your blog, coward. “The fruit of the spirit is faith.” This word faith clusters such attributes as dependablity, trustworthiness, loyalty and maturity. The word faith cannot be grasped by the Obama’s human mind, so we are then called scorn women, over 40, and other names to identify us. It is the gathering of lovers of America and the importance of having an experience person to lead us through this turmoil. So, if scorn is what we are called, then let it be! For “wisdom is given to the elected” not the babes!
This woman is attempting to show off her literary acumen, but it hides her basic misunderstanding of the current issues. It’s not about Hillary for many of us–it’s about the DNC and the unDemocratic Party. It is not against our own self-interests to demand that it be fixed. To “go along with” and hope that “being nice” will work in the meantime is like hoping your abuser will stop if you try harder to please him.
Another point–pulling out the sad women in literature is far different than a whole movement of millions of women gathering up their strength to say “enough!” Rights and respect rarely comes from the outside. It comes from effective organization.
There is a new group called “silent no more”. Look for it at the convention. There are several new groups/pacs. One is a total breakaway
from NARAL, NOW and Emily’s list. Woo Hoo. Payback is Beach. We will not forget.
I’m sorry, but what exactly has NOW done? Except endorse her through the National NOW PAC. President Kim Gandy went on the trail with Hillary and opened up offices all over the country and called the MSM on their sexism. Please don’t lump NOW with NARAL or Emily’s List.
Women are 58% of the Democratic Party, yet we are to stay silent? If we can’t hold our ground here in the USA what does that say about us?!? NOW, we go forward!
The US is 70th in the world for the election women, women own 1% of all titled land in the world and represent 70 percent of the world’s poor and face abuse world wide and even murder for being born women.
Please, give it a rest, and don’t tell me I don’t have a right to OBJECT when they don’t COUNT THE VOTES (Civil Rights for everyone except for women or men that vote for women? Voting Rights are Civil RIGHTS!) for THE BEST CANDIDATE THAT JUST HAPPENS TO BE A WOMAN!

Unfortunately one of the people who gave birth to these pacs died..Honorable Rep Stephanie Tubbs Jones.
I feel so suspicious about her untimely death. I mean why was a cop already driving behind her. Was it really a hemmorage? Was it Rat poison…sorry. Suspicous mind at play here. Be careful in Denver. Murph says dress code in place is biz casual.
Hear my EVIL CACKLING, Dahlia…
Bwahahahah…!
my, my, my…what are you so worried about dear child?
What fear has come over you to strike out with such malice in your heart…dear child?
We are cut from the same cloth, woman, you are a woman and never forget it, now fear not fearful child, you will get your cock and balls for the 220th year straight! There there…do not fret.
Harridans and hellions….when are the going to actually come up with something that insults me?
LOL, ya really, MountainSage.
Dahlia is afraid of actual change.
Awwww.
Bottom line: She certainly didn’t score any points for the Obama camp, or the democratic party, and she REALLY didn’t change any votes.
Mission Failed.
waahhhh
I have a different list of names for Ms. Lithwick.
Abigale Adams who was bold enough to tell her husband to “not forget the ladies” when he attended the Continetial Congress.
Sarah Grimke, an abolitionist and a women’s rights advocate who was speaking out in 1836.
The Founders of the Lowell Female Labor Reform Association in 1884.
Harriet Tubman, conductor on the underground railroad,1849.
Sojourner Truth 1851, known for her speech “Ain’t I a Woman”.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Susan B. Anthony, 1866, Women’s suffrage movement.
Alice Paul and Lucy Burris, organizers of the National Womens Party in 1913.
Jeanne Rankin, first woman elected to Congress, 1916.
Margaret Sanger, founder of Planned Parenthood, 1916.
Eleanore Roosevelt, wife of FDR, who spoke out against the segregation of the military during WWII.
Just a few “harridans” who have succeeded in changing our country for the better. I’m sure Senator Hillary Clinton’s advocates are proud to join this awe-inspiring group of women who were reviled in their lifetime in the same way Ms. Lithwick says these women are reviled today.
None of these women mentioned “played along to get along” and many of them spent time in prison to “Swing [an] election” and get their voices heard. In fact, the Comstock Laws were passed to silence them.
The real harridans of this election aren’t Hillary supporters, most of the irrational, emotional and self aggrandizement is coming from the Obama group.
And just to emphasize that it isn’t a “woman’s only” issue, here’s an honorary mention: Theodore Roosevelt’s Bull Moose Party was the first to adopt a Women’s Suffrage plant in 1912.
Thank you C.D.
Just wondering if Dahlia thought she was being HELPFUL by referring to us as MURDERESSES???
What a fool.
That sexism in the media occurred without one comment of outrage from any member of the DNC or leading Democrats is beyond acceptance. It is a call to political action.
That names of locker-room caliber were hurled repeatedly at Hillary in public, liberal, political blogs without any comment from blog owners or allegedly progressive Democrats is beyond tolerance. It is another call to political action.
That some progressive women and men of today had the audacity to believe that a woman could run for the highest political office in the land and be taken seriously for her efforts is something to be praised, not condemned.
So, no. Many of us are not just going to lie back and enjoy this travesty. We’ve taken up arms, declared our votes to belong to ourselves, and plan to take the only defense allowed in a democracy through the ballot box.
Plus, many of us see this candidate as seriously flawed. They say he’s a new kind of politician. Well, I believe it. It takes true audacity to trash FISA throughout a fiercely fought primary and then to casually, calmly turn around and vote FOR it, later.
That’s different, all right. I doubt I’ve ever seen a candidate believe he could get away with that much disconnect between his words and his actions.
In other words, I have no belief in anything the man says. And I refuse to vote for anyone who is capable of that much duplicity.
But in allowing themselves to be portrayed—over and over—as petulant harridans, unable to “heal” from the wounds of the primaries, these Clinton supporters are embracing the same she-devil stereotypes they once claimed to resent.
We are “allowing ourselves to be portrayed?” Just like Hillary “allowed” herself to be treated like a witch in the media? It’s not up to us–they decide the narrative and then hammer it home. That’s why they are portraying us this way–to diminish and dismiss the message re: anti-democratic practices in the Dem Party. They don’t want to hear our real message–and neither does Dahlia. She wants to show the world how very clever she is, but misses the fundamental point. They all do. The same patronizing, condescending attitude that set the tone for the primaries is being used now to minimize the reaction. We are just “hysterical and irrational.” No, we are very fact based. That’s the problem. We actually know what really happened, and who BO is and isn’t, and we are not buying what they are selling. If demanding democratic practices makes me a harpie, count me in.
Just another attempt to shame us into falling in line. We are completely inoculated against “shame” since we have been called racists, oh for how long now?
Keep attacking us….that is definitely the way to get all us petulant little kids back in line.
We Are The Ones No One Was Expecting (D. Murphy)

Madame President ‘08
This reminds me of the feminist movement and N.O.W. back in the 60’s. They had this fear that if lesbians were included in their ranks that they would all be labeled as lesbians. They were so afraid of what people would think that they went against all they claimed to be for - “equality for all women”.
We are the 11% that CHUCKIE T fears..those bad bad Hillary supporters that are holding out…LMAO STAND TALL PEOPLE….I’m proud of ya!..hahahaha WOOT!!!
They are also so myopic with their claims that we are “voting against our own best interest.” Well, voting to endorse corrupt practices such as voter suppression and theft is the ultimate self-sabotage in a democracy. If you vote against transparent democratic practices and individual rights and support BO/DNC, we will have much bigger problems than the next Supreme Court judge.
Let me see. How long have men (and other women) told me to do exactly that. I am argumentative and a little combative. I was the same as a child and my mother used to tell me not to argue with my father. My first husband was happy I was going to college (for a while) and then started to resent it and sabatoge me. When I applied for my first job and it came down to two applicants being considered, the job was given to a less qualified man because he had a family to support. When I threatened to go to Affirmative Action, I was told that wasn’t a good idea and like a fool, I didn’t and began looking for another job. Candadites have asked for my vote in the past, but no one has threatened me or my choice until this year. I am not afraid. Not for myself or for Hillary. The only way to shut me up is to kill me and even then, I would win if I am true to my principles. The more I am told to sit down and shut up, the taller I will stand and the more noise I will make.
Same here, Elise, same here. I dare an obamabot dem to challenge me!
