In the end, can these people, these women, who have come to view any legitimate criticism of their chosen candidate as rampant mysogyny against both her and themselves REALLY feel that voting for McCain, whose mysogyny IS in fact rampant, is in their best interest?

Am I the only one hoping, truly hoping these women represent only a token minority of Clinton's supporters? Because if not, if there are in fact millions of women willing to cut off their collective noses in order to spite their faces, well then, I'm afraid it just acts as confirmation of all the negative stereotypes they claim to find so offensive in the first place.

Then again, historically (and stereotypically), feminists and makeup go together like oil and water. Maybe “At least I don’t plaster on the makeup like a trollop, you cunt” somehow resonates with the bra-burning crowd?

If McCain wins, I PRAY she opens up some black bag in her alley and finds an aborted fetus in it; with a young girl crying from the shadows as some "doctor" left the knitting needles in her vagina after the abortion.

I hope she sees that if her behavior let's McCain be President.

Remember, a vote for McSame is a vote for $8 a gallon gas and even more tax cuts for the ultra-rich while the other 99.9 percent of us get even LESS than today.

Period.

Near as I can tell, it seems to have something to do with Obama leading a gang of thugs, "stealing" an election, being a Chicago-politics-style(?) fraud/huckster who will say anything to get elected, and not denouncing misogyny among his supporters (ok) and the media (this is somehow his job?).

#5, I agree with you completely and I do think they are a small vocal minority. Remember the rabid support that Ron Paul seemed to enjoy on the internet? Didn't quite pan out.

Sigh.

Thanks so much for the kind words. My beat is probably going to end up being this kind of thing, so please, any suggestions for future political mutants to discuss would be completely fantastic.

Also, Bob Barr is very much on the agenda, if for nothing other than his terrifying mustache.

For instance, when McKinney tried to sidestep a metal detector (as congress is legally allowed to do) and is stopped and felt up by a police officer, make it sound like she "punches people who get in her way".

When she questions an official conspiracy story and calls for a more thorough investigation of 9/11, just say she thinks "you'll find Dick Cheney at the bottom of 9/11".

When she makes the personal observation "Gore's 'Negro Tolerance Level' has never been too high." in response to a lawsuit filed on behalf of 250 black Secret Service Agents who alleged that they have been systematically discriminated against and a report that a quota was placed on the number of black Secret Service officers who would protect Vice President Gore, just say she "believes that Al Gore has a deep-seated hatred for the black race."

If you ever consider becoming a real journalist you might consider actually reading the sources of rumors you post about and perhaps expanding your sources beyond mainstream corporate American media such as the NYT and "Slate". Perhaps balance it out with foreign and independant sources for different points of views which can help you be a little more objective and intelligent in your own reporting.

It was also about the best speech that the Obama campaign could have ever asked for.

It was the best speech that the Democratic Party could have asked for

It was the best speech that Hillary's supporters could have asked for.

It was downright presidential actually.

In that speech I could truly imagine Hillary Clinton being a great President. But as Hillary said, it is time to move on and not dwell on what could have been and start working on what will be…Obama 2008!

if you're trying to get us to vote for your "candidate" you're doing it the ass backwards way. thanks for confirming that my decision to not vote for obama if he doesn't choose hillary as his VP (aka hand holder) is absolutely correct.
