Who will donate 20 extra cents a day to DU as long as the "Hillary Nutcracker" ad is up?

That comes to around just six dollars extra a month! Whether you're a Hillary hater or a Hillary participator, it all goes to our Democratic Underground!

2. oh please

a real liberal and/or progressive does not let things infringe upon our civil liberties. this is a clear cut case of freedom of speach. Just like it is the within freepers civil liberties to curse at us vets and denounce the desenters. It is our right to find an ad funny, and you know what? if you find it offense if is your right to state that you find it offensive but you do not speak for real "progressives" as a real progressive would leave it alone as it was not hurting anything.

8. No freedom of "speach" issue going on here

And in what way did my post infringe on your civil liberties? Just revulsion at your cheering something on that is harmful to women: the idea that strong or competent women must be "ball busters" or "nut crunchers." Just imagine a Rudy Giuliani doll with steel-toothed thighs, standing astride to crush some nuts. Can't, can you ... because men are not portrayed that way.

You can laugh at it all you want... but you'll get your due for cheering on such a sexist piece of juvenilia. You can dish it out but you sure can't take it. Does that make you a "pantywaist?"

11. can't take it?

god i love these hot button topics. Just the thing to detract from real issues. I think it's funny and it's not because i don't like hillary. I don't think its sexist because it is saying something about an individual not a sex/race/religion and also if anything something like that will just stereotype as the "strong willed" women that people imagine her to be so if anything this is just reinforcing HRC take no prisoners I am the comander n chief image that I'm sure she is trying very hard to protray. anyways this thread is /hide as no one seems to have a sense of humor.

10. No it isn't

We sure don't allow pro Bush ads, or racist ads. We shouldn't allow sexist ones either.

3. Sexist pigs for Hillary, lol. n/t

[Adelante]

4. Not I

It doesn't belong on a Democratic website. Period.

5. Me either.

In fact it has made me rethink my donations to DU.

7. I think once Skinner is aware of it, he will do what needs to be done

I don't think he would like it here, either. She is, after all, a Democratic candidate. So I don't see it staying.

6. Wow - I didn't notice the ad until I read this post

That sexist crap has no place here.

If it's possible, please remove it.

9. I will not donate to DU till it's gone.
