Fineman: ‘A Lot Of Voters’ Find ‘Hierarchical’ ‘Male’ Qualities In Politicians ‘Reassuring’ »

Tonight, prior to the first Republican presidential debate, MSNBC showed footage of all 10 participating candidates holding a “regal,” coronation-esque walk-through of the Reagan Library, where the debate is being held.

Commenting on the candidates, Fineman said, “There is a hierarchical, there is, dare I say it, male, there’s an old-line quality to them that some voters, indeed a lot of voters, find reassuring.” Watch it:

1. Maybe he meant, "33% of American are sheep"?

[gatorboy]

2. What the hell? They looked like Middle Age Reservoir Dogs.

3. Fineman was filtering through his Reaganlove eyes.

In fact, Fineman is breathing deeply the essence of said Reaganlove, remembering what once was. MKJ

11. To me that opening looked like rats in a maze. .

They threaded through the glass corridors trying to find their way into the hall. . I thought it was funny.

6. I tend to rebel against it. and I'm 50. I hate domination authoritarianism

7. The Taliban also is Heirarchial.

Keeping women barefoot and pregnant, and subject to the male's will must be reassuring to idiots.

8. A dog pack is also Hierarchical - some just want the "natural born killer" - "the alpha dog" n/t

n/t

9. And a lot of voters don't find them reassuring AT ALL!

"Hierarchical male" qualities are good for only ONE thing, namely the military in time of war or national emergency. That's when the qualities of quick decision-making and efficient execution of orders are necessary. In most other situations these same qualities are a standing threat to democracy. That's why bullies are always trying to fabricate a perpetual state of emergency, for example a "War on Terror."

10. Damn..do they also have fun-house mirrors that distort the size of their dicks ?

Chest-thumping bullshit
