If you vote for Obama, this is what you’re voting for (Reminder #14)
When Hillary Clinton suspended her campaign, the Obama side was left with a giant weapon and no enemy to use it on. The giant weapon, of course, was the misogyny machine they’d built to destroy Hillary (see Reminder #13). Meanwhile, Democratic women got busy convincing themselves that the abuse meted out to Hillary was for [...]

In yesterday’s reminder I talked about the male-left shell game, the pitch to women that their issues will be adequately addressed in the general (male-run) revolution. Didn’t happen with the French Revolution, didn’t happen with 20th century socialism, didn’t happen with 1960s radicals. And it’s not going to happen with Barack Obama. That pro-Obama women [...]

Commenter Marge Twain: I’ve been reading other discussion boards where women are telling one another not to give to their usual causes, like Planned Parenthood, instead give more to Obama so he can win and take care of EVERYTHING. It’s like they’re preparing for the rapture. Ah, yes. This has happened before. It is the [...]

ABC and Politico are reporting on the list of names being bruited about for Obama’s cabinet. Jesus! Look at these people: Larry Summers, sexist blowhard extraordinaire, is said to be a favorite for Treasury Secretary. And so now we know the answer the question: what happens to a male chauvinist pig who abuses his academic [...]

“Remember, Bobby Kennedy was killed in June!” That was me, talking to my brother in March or so of this year. We were discussing the Democratic primary and the prospect of an extended battle for the nomination. My point was that there was no reason for Hillary to drop out, no historical basis for the [...]

In 2005, Harvard President Larry Summers told an audience of distinguished women scientists that instead of worrying about sexism, they should consider the “evidence” that women are simply genetically inferior to men in terms of aptitude for math and science. This genetic inferiority, he erroneously asserted, was more likely to be the reason for women’s [...]

As the creator of this “Halloween decoration” explains, a similar image of Barack Obama would of course be terrible because the image of a black man with a noose around his neck is offensive. But violence against women is “art.” It’s funny. Halloween fun! Lighten up! No doubt millions agree. Barack Obama’s campaign — first [...]

Riding the rails with Sen. Obama in Pennsylvania: DOWNINGTOWN, Pa.—At the next train stop, I’m going to stand behind Sen. Obama when he speaks. When he’s decrying the trivial distractions in politics, I think he may be crossing his fingers behind his back. As the senator’s campaign train wound from one speech where he denounced [...]
If you vote for Obama, this is what you’re voting for (Reminder #6)
Barack Obama’s campaign has, since the beginning, operated on two levels. There’s the “hope and change” level, which is just for show — but of course that’s the only level his supporters choose to see. The other level, the real campaign, the background stuff through reporters and netroots mouthpieces, has been relentlessly negative. The dress [...]

At a campaign stop a few days before the New Hampshire primary, Hillary Clinton seemed to mist up briefly or get a slight lump in her throat while talking about her commitment to public service and her hopes for America. Or maybe she was just suppressing a cough; hard to tell. Jesse Jackson Jr., the [...]
