Feminists: Do you approve of Hillary's intimidation of Pelosi?

[George_Bonanza]

Nancy Pelosi is just as big, if not bigger, a contributor to the feminist cause than Hillary Clinton. In fact, I'd say that Pelosi is the more important feminist figure because not only is she the first female Speaker of the House, she also got ascended in politics purely on her own merit as opposed her husband's.

So, what are your guys' reactions to a feminist trailblazer being told to shut up by a cadre of corrupt men?

1. First of all, they weren't all men.

Second, she shot off her mouth and needs to be hauled in for it.

[DJ13]

4. Second, she shot off her mouth and needs to be hauled in for it.

Grow up.

[mkultra]

6. hauled in to hillary jail?

she can say what she wants.

[kid a]

7. yea - women who "shoot off their mouth" need to be hauled in. WTF?

I think Nancy Pelosi has the esteem and position to "shoot off her mouth" whenever and wherever she feels prudent, and sexist crap aimed at her like your filth belongs in the gutter.

[Mooney]

12. So you don't like women when they get all lippy? n/t

[invictus]

21. They were almost all men and they did gang up on and bully a woman. n/t

[Hugabear]

27. "she shot off her mouth"?

What exactly did she go "shooting off her mouth" about that was wrong?

[mrreowwr_kittty]

2. Are you a feminist? nt

[Jed Dilligan]

25. Some men don't feel they can claim it

any more than a white person can be a black nationalist or an Asian feel Chicano pride.

I'm on the fence on this issue myself. I'm also uncomfortable being an anything-ist. Isms in general have really f'd up the world.

If it wasn't supposed to be this way, maybe people shouldn't have been so rigid in their identity politics.

3. You really think their using their weight is any different than what we do here

when we organize mass phone calls and emails to the MSM and our congress people when we are unhappy?

Talk about double standards.

[splat]

5. p.s. Pelosi got in on her father's coattails. Nothing is acccurate in your post

[OhioBlue]

9. different last name, different State.

I wouldn't say it was on his coattails.

[Hugabear]

28. Oh, the irony...

If we were talking about Hillary Rodham instead of Hillary CLINTON, would she be where she is now? I have no doubt that Hillary could have gotten elected to Congress on her own merits. But would she be the front-runner for president right now? What about all the other female Congressmen who have been around a lot longer, and who have accomplished a lot more?

8. It's sexist to assume that Pelosi can't handle

a letter that contained standard political language.

[bellasgrams]

10. I don't recall Hillary saying anything to Pelosi. Some of her

supporters did, she can't control what people other than her staff says, anymore than BO can control the sleaze that his supporters spout off in here.

[NorthernSpy]

11. sisterhood is powerful!

Unless it stands in the way of Hillary getting 100% of what she wants, 100% of the time. Then it has to go.


:eyes:

[DURHAM D]

13. Nancy started the fight - by not once but twice saying stupid shit.

Nancy is not a feminist. She doesn't want Hillary in the White House because she wants to be a big fish in a little pond. Feminists want to be a regular fish in a great big pond.

[wileedog]

17. Its stupid shit to say

the party should respect the will of the voters?

What system do you advocate, Divine Right?

[George_Bonanza]

24. Um, any proof behind your "theory"?

[cooolandrew]

14. I think the answers speakfor themselves here. help.

[Hugabear]

29. Yes they do, don't they?

n/t

[elixir]

15. ABSO FUCKIN' LUTELY!!!!!!!!!!

[LWolf]

16. I don't approve of Pelosi, period.

Did she allow herself to be "intimidated" into taking opposition and support and defense of the Constitution "off the table?" If so, she's not qualified for the position she holds.

If not, she's complicit. Either way, she needs to go.

"Feminist trailblazer?" :eyes:

She gets no sympathy from this feminist.

[leftofcool]

26. Not from this one either

[ElsewheresDaughter]

18. Pelosi was wrong in what she did and said so yes I absolutely agree

[George_Bonanza]

19. B/c she didn't support Hillary's desire to steal pledged delegates?

That bitch!

[invictus]

20. No, I do not approve of Hillary's bullying of Pelosi. Hillary should be ashamed of herself! n/t

[UALRBSofL]

22. I agree with Hillary because

Pelosi has no backbone. And frankly I think Kucinich should replace her.

[George_Bonanza]

23. And Hillary's some kind of pillar of liberal strength?

[Buzz Clik]

30. I don't see this as a "feminist" issue. It seems that women have finally arrived --

A leading presidential contender is hammering the Speaker of the House about an issue.

Holy crapoli! Who saw that coming ten years ago?

[woo me with science]

31. You call this "feminism"?!

What sort of crap is this that tries to portray women in politics as victims?

Sheesh. Some feminism.

[Jersey Devil]

32. You mean "attempt" at intimidation of Pelosi

because Nancy Pelosi ain't exactly quivering in distress over the attempt. In fact, I believe she is downright pissed off.

Another circular firing squad maneuver by the Clinton Campaign.

[Mass]

33. Not as a feminist, but I am bothered to see millionaires telling the Democratic party what to say.

What happened to "For the People By The People".
