"Paulette Revere" just played the gender card AGAIN

[DeadElephant_ORG]

Hillary Clinton NEVER misses a chance to point out that she's - OH MY GOD - a woman. Can you imagine the reaction if Obama referred to himself as "the black Paul Revere"? if he often talked about how he's opening doors for black children, the way Clinton talks about breaking the glass ceiling for girls?

Now, if Senator Clinton wants to stand up and give a speech directly addressing the continuing inequality and tension between men and women, as Obama did regarding race relations in America, I would be impressed. But simply dropping "Paulette" into yet another self-aggrandizing lie is just plain offensive.

1. Only a misogynist would find fault with that.

:sarcasm:

[WolverineDG]

2. Guess she doesn't know her history

Paul Revere was detained that evening by the British. The one who actually got the word out to the minutemen (incuding one of my ancestors who passed the story down) was William Dawes.

3. The story of Paul Revere is as american as apple pie..........

Myth becomes reality even in text books.

I've never seen that happen before.

[TahitiNut]

Straaaange. :scared:

11. ROFL oh lord lol.

[SoCalDem]

22. Pauline would have been a better choice than Paulette

since Her Royal Girliness seems to always be in peril of being treated "mean" by all those naughty boys..

[sampsonblk]

12. Friend, that's just plain dumb

Do you expect her to use male gender references when speaking of herself?

[Muttocracy]

13. why, she can't compare herself to anyone but women?

Why didn't she just say, I was like Paul Revere, warning everyone? I can't imagine saying, but wait, Paul was a boy and you're a girl.

Now everyone stumbles on it and says, Paulette? huh? and forgets what her whole point was.

[TahitiNut]

14. Shouldn't it be "Pauline"???

Like "The Perils of Pauline"??


:hide:

[sampsonblk]

19. That's just silly

What's proper for a man to do in that situation?

[DeadElephant_ORG]

28. what's "proper" is to leave gender OUT of it. n/t

[anonymous171]

15. I hope you'r being sarcastic. She just adapted the name so that it would be feminine.

[DeadElephant_ORG]

20. she's SELLING herself as a woman. If Obama sold himself as black there would be outrage. n/t

[Shae]

23. This is nitpicking.

Let's move forward.

[SeaLyons]

24. Grasping at straws...

just another nit pickey post. Unreal!!

Go Hillary!!

[DeadElephant_ORG]

27. It's not "nitpicking" to point out an offensive pattern of behavior. Her "I am woman" routine sucks.

[SeaLyons]

29. ..

Like I said,,,,nit picking - that's all it is. Useless, meaningless nit picking.

[Erin Elizabeth]

25. Did she really refer to herself as "Paulette Revere?"

Really?

That would have just made me bust a gut laughing.

Also...Hillary? I don't care what you've got between your legs. I care about your character. And I find it lacking.

[JBoy]

26. Why wouldn't she compare herself to "Paul Revere", the actual person?

Instead, she creates a mythical female version? Why would she feel a need to do that, if not to remind everyone she is a woman?

[HCE SuiGeneris]

30. "Paulette For PretzelDent!"

[Ino]

31. She enjoys being a girl!

She's so looking forward to being the Presidentette.

It's time we were represented.
