"How To Talk To Scared, Condescending, Misinformed, Old White Dudes' With Your Host, Hillary Clinton
At the Senate hearings looking into the Benghazi attack, Secretary of State Clinton was given the unique opportunity to be yelled at by some vitriolic old white dudes with a loose grasp on the facts, and a firm goal of making her look bad, regardless of what really happened. They did it in a very special way, a way we like to call "mansplaining."

Thanks for giving exposure to Zerlina Maxwell!

(15,472 posts)time, how many more Benghazi, I didn't know, but trust me moments does she have in a day ? Trust is the issue and that can't be Brow beaten or usurped, and that's what she looks like she was trying to do Saturday, and that's the reason I posted what I did .

(3,919 posts)that when you are condescending - it somehow back fires. she needs to do more role playing with one of her staff to get control of
her attack response. david axelrod pointed out during the debate redux on cnn that one has to be careful when going after an opponent because the manner and attitude by which it is done can be worse for the attacker than the opponent.

(31,086 posts)Opening post: "What do you call it when a person is condescending but looks scared?" I "called it" the main difference between being assertive and aggressive. Aggressive behavior is condescending, while assertive behavior is respectful.
"Assertive behavior allows everyone to feel comfortable and safe, while aggressive people tend to seek control and get their way even if it means hurting others"

(32,324 posts)Then when I was only eleven years old, a favorite relative tried to get "funny" with me.
Since then, I am always a bit suspicious about classiness.
