Jingoism

When crying "MISOGYNY" becomes a campaign strategy

The Black Monkey vs. The White Bitch: This has been a primary rife with what I call The Opression Olympics.The Black Monkey vs. The White Bitch

We must be on the dawn of another primary election. The Clinton supporters are screaming "MISOGYNY" and with it, another chapter in the The Opression Olympics is ready to unfold. And lest one of the big newspapers takes their thunder away, The Huffington Post is there to unleash the "un-bitter" straw(o)man :

Sexism is alive and well in America.

One exit poll I saw had almost twice as many voters having trouble voting for a woman for president than voting for a black man.

Oh kaaaay. Where do I begin? Let's start with the truthiness here : One exit poll I saw had almost twice as many voters having trouble voting for a woman for president than voting for a black man.

Ok, I'll bite : Which exit poll was that? Which company did the exit poll? Which were the questions? Where was the poll conducted? Was it in New York City's Harlem or was it in the heart of Appalachia?

In other words, enquiring minds want to know where is the data and how did you interpret it. Because I am going to bet there has been no poll asking the hard questions like : "Would you vote for a black before you vote for a white woman?"

This has got to be the most racist SOTUA yet and Democrats ought not be given George W. Bush a standing ovation

Bush will not give up his jingoistic campaign for controlling the largest oil supplies of the world. I have never, ever heard this man talk such vile, racist bullcrap on the floor of Congress.

This is not a State of The Union Address.

This is a propagandistic attempt to continue the war on Iraq for control of the Middle East. He will do anything to continue full throttle on all military operations and he will do so by any means.

Bush not only has equated Mexicans coming over the border with terrorists, but has outline a vision of islamic holy hell that he needs to obliterate to 'save' America.

This is stomach turning.

You're always away from your families...in a virtual candy store of opportunity to do the wrong thing. We're just trying to keep eachother from falling for it.
