I wonder why the unfounded "sexist" charges have dropped off so much...

[guyanakoolaid]

I think when you run around screaming "scary black preacher", the hypocrisy is too great for your mind to ignore completely. After countless baseless charges of discriminating against one of our society's more historically oppressed groups, Clinton supporters (and the campaign itself in pushing it to SDs) know what they have done with the Wright issue is wrong. The racism is dismissed as "something the other side will use"... but that doesn't erase its stain from the Clintons.

It's telling that the only justification for this type of right-wing attack is it is the same thing that will be used by right-wingers against Hillary. A google of Hillary and controversy should give you more than enough reasons why this is a bad train of logic for Clinton.

1. You can't blame Clinton or her supporters for this Wright mess.

This is old business that Obama and Wright knew was going to confront them. They handled it badly.

That's not Clinton's (or her supporters') fault.

As far as the sexism here, you don't hear much about it because the mods are doing their job and deleting assholeish sexist comments, and because a lot of Obama's supporters are now policing their own...

Oh, and also because several of the worst offenders have been banned.

By the way, speaking of assholes, aren't you the one who posted the photoshoppped Reuben image last night and then complained with mods locked it?

You like to stir up shit, don't you? I put you on my "buddy list," so I can see what your fate will be soon.

3. I wasn't stirring shit, merely throwing it back

And actually I didn't complain when mods locked it, but thanks for your embellishment.

I would love to hear your explanation, however, of why Wright is an important issue but Lewinsky isn't.

13. Immature post--and the mature obama supports told you that.

[guyanakoolaid]

14. Exact maturity level of all of the Wright posts on DU

which was the point

I can't believe you don't at least see some hypocrisy is saying "this is what the Rethugs will use in the GE so it's a valid attack" but thinking somehow it doesn't apply to Hillary, too.

comment from clinton re: wright that's a more powerful denunciation than what obama, himself, has said.
