I applaud the Clinton Supporters for going out today for the protest....

[Flabbergasted]

(Please no Flames)

I shows a lot of guts to get out on the streets and work for what you believe in. I have nothing but pride in these people. Thanks for standing up and speaking out for progressive values.

In addition, slamming people who are progressives, despite differing views, is counter-productive.


:yourock:


BTW...Obama guy

1. Wow, this is a great post. Thank you!

Most of us would be out in the streets if the MSM was overtly racist, like they are sexist. At least I would be.

[Flabbergasted]

3. Thanks for the reply I expected this to drop like a stone. nt

7. I'm glad

I don't think we should ever condone racism or sexism, and I think sometimes we lose sight of it because we get caught up in our candidates. I found myself saying something that some might interpret as sexist once (even though I am a woman), but then I realized how mad my comment would have made me if I heard someone else say it and if I wasn't such a rabid Obama supporter. I guess it's human nature to see things differently once you start rooting for a candidate.

9. A lot of us have tunnel vision....

We've stopped looking at this race in the broader context of the progressive movement to the oppositions benefit.

We need to realize that we'll need to face these people again after the election is over.

2. Thank You for the Post...

[maximusveritas]

4. What protest?

Is this about the Olympics protests?

[Flabbergasted]

5. There was a small protest concerning bias against Clinton among other things

There are several thread on today smashing tham.

8. Are you referring to the Farberware Platoon?

:rofl:

10. New Orleans today: Tenth Anniv. of Battle to End Violence Against Women

I have nothing but contempt for the NBC protestors, personally.

Thousands will gather in New Orleans without a peep from the Media.

Why the f**k are they NOT protesting THAT?

this isn't a flame, it's just the facts.

11. Were there any DU'ers there?

[TheDonkey]

12. Thanks for attacking the windmills. MSNBC is the most dangerous thing facing democracy in 2008

:sarcasm:

[zulchzulu]

13. Agreed... taking your message to the street is to be admired

I don't agree with the "message" that Hillary Clinton is being swiftboated or that supporters of Obama are misogynists, but it takes organization and timing to get people out in the street.

[SwampG8r]

24. yeah all 75 of them lol

[EmilyAnne]

14. I agree. This is a great post!

[Terran]

15. Yeah...

Calling Keith Olberman the World's Worst Person gets a lot of credit with me. :crazy:

[cali]

16. I completely agree

I stand with those who protested against the ugly sexism that MSNBC reporters
and commentators have exhibited.

[Aloha Spirit]

17. Completely agree with your sentiment...

Hasn't every Obamaholic, like me, discussed how ridiculous the press has been behaving since the campaign season started?

In principle, I would gladly attend a demonstration against a media that doesn't serve the public interest. HOWEVER, while select TV "analysts" have shown derision of, and discomfort with, Hillary's gender, that's not where my beef is.
I have a problem with the general promotion of gossipmongerers like Anderson Cooper.

I don't care to protest against media bias.
I want a protest against lazy, tabloid-style news coverage!

[Catchawave]

18. Thank you for this post.

:toast:

[zabet]

19. Thank you! nt

[kikiek]

20. That's the way to do it!

[AllentownJake]

21. I don't

Hate me.

They weren't progressives. They had a poll of who would you vote for Bush or Obama and Bush won 14-1.

The Pot and Pan Banging brigade can go fuck themselves.

[Catchawave]

22. What poll ?

Linky?

[Faygo Kid]

23. Agreed. They are not progressives; the love for Fox News proves that.

They may support Hillary now, but they are going to run, not walk, to back the GOP when Obama gets the nomination.

They are tools of the right wing who are so bitter (yes, bitter) that they think Sean Hannity is a voice for them.

They are the agents of their own destruction.
