This race has taught me that racism is pretty well vanquished from the DC/NY elite chattering class

[ruggerson]

but that sexism is alive and thriving.

Great news for people of all races, not such great news for women.

(and yes, I know racism is still out there and that there are bigots in America, I'm referring to the media and the eastern elite power structure.)

1. based on what evidence?

[DURHAM D]

2. Simple observation.

One would need to be willfully brain dead to miss it.

5. Check the language in this thread quoting the 'Progressive' Rolling Stone Mag:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x2854075

"bitchfest." "Pussies."

This is how 'liberals' write?

9. Holy Mother of Pearl!! That's.... egregious! I guess the wimminfolk had just best

kick off those shoes, get back behind the kitchen sink, and plunge those arms into the soapsuds up to the elbows...

[splat]

3. But sexism is busting out all over (whoopee!)

[saracat]

6. Exactly right. I guess we know where our place is as women!

[splat]

10. Who knew the old boy network would find a Teflon candidate to oppose her?

[Captain Hilts]

14. Let's discuss his clothes and the shape of his ankles. And his laugh...

and his fake preacher voice, etc.

15. Ya can't -- The pied piper is always appealing

[goldcanyonaz]

17. Ain't that the truth.

[joeybee12]

4. Yeah, a good example is Frank Rich...

...bending over backwards for BO and using sexist language to bash Hilary.

[MADem]

7. Oh, and those gay folk had better not be stepping sassy, either!

They're out there hanging on by a thread with those uppity women--they've only got rickety little folding chairs at the far end of the table, and they'd better move quickly to grab those crumbs! Oh...and be grateful, too!

Do I need to slap one of these up?

:sarcasm:

[ruggerson]

8. Well they just get ignored completely

[maddiejoan]

11. You say sumpin'?

Hard to hear anything from under the bus.

uhm --I mean --GOBAMA!

CAN I HAZ CRUMBS NOW?

[XemaSab]

12. I'm from the Bay Area, foo...

:P

[Lerkfish]

13. what is the color of the sky on your world?

you obviously don't hail from here.

lemme guess: you're an upper middle class white person.

gee I dunno why I assume that.

:shrug:

[Darth_Kitten]

19. Don't ever look beyond your own nose, huh?

Lemme guess, you have a grudge against uppity white people? :sarcasm:

Please get out more.

[Lerkfish]

22. I AM an upper middle class white person, which makes your post all the more

telling of the whole problem.

[LisaM]

16. I agree.

I'm fairly shocked by it. I guess it's good to realize, and pick ourselves up and start all over again.

[Darth_Kitten]

18. yes, yes, yes, whatever........

why should women matter? They never did before. :sarcasm:

[Political Heretic]

20. Today, on Upper-Middle-Class-White Talk: racism vanquished!

:eyes:

[ruggerson]

21. well not entirely vanquished

as your post just proved

[Renew Deal]

23. Hillary is a terrible candidate.

She's run a terrible race. She's a right wing wanna be that "found her voice" at 60. Everything before that day and since that day was bullshit. No sexism, just bad politics.
