Is calling Hillary Clinton Annie Oakley similar to likening Obama's SC win to Jessie Jackson? |
|
Does that play on the fact that she is woman like the Jessie Jackson quote played on the fact that Obama is black?

8. no. That was part of a concerted effort by team Clinton |
|
to frame Obama as a fringe minority candidate who couldn't appeal to white voters in the upcoming states. His comment about Annie Oakley is akin to Clinton mocking him for remarks he's made.

10. Would it of been better to call her Jesse James |
|
Then people would be screaming he was calling her a man or a cross dresser, geesh. I think it was evident what he was getting at.

11. There was nothing inherently racial in Clinton's comment |
|
-- this was all speculation. Obama clearly meant to mock Sen. Clinton.
The two are certainly dissimilar.

20. No. It wasn't about her being a woman, it was about her being a so-called GUN-TOTER |
|
Would you have asked that question if Obama had compared HRC to The Rifleman or Billy the Kid?

The Self-Swiftboating campaign that Sen Clinton has been running deserves the "Calamity Jane" title instead of Annie Oakley

24. "you can't get a man with a gun"? |

I think it's a very disappointing comment from Obama, full of misogynistic implications.

If not, the comments bear no relationship to one another.
(try adding this line: Annie Oakley won Pennsylvania, too, but she didn't get the nomination).
