So why is it Misogyny when we Dem's criticize Hillary on her

[gabeana]

policy (according to many Hill supporters here on DU) but not when we criticize Palin and Fiorina on theirs

is that just an easy card to throw to divert us from Hillary's short comings

moving the goal post as we say

1. Are you seriously comparing HRC to Sarah Palin?

It was apparent Sarah Palin was completely unqualified to be VPOTUS. She new nothing about the world.


Hillary Clinton is one of the smarter people out there and the Sanders campaign attacked her for "personal ambition" Those words have been a sexist dog whistle for a long time.

3. No I am pointing out

the hypocrisy of Hillary supporters and the hyperbole of the likes
just like you, who either deliberately or ignorantly plays dumb

your fake outrage, he slammed her on her record, and now your calling Sanders using a dog whistle, this is just a tactic divert from her stance on her record, because her record for many is not progressive and a way to dimiss the criticism is to call someone a sexist who disagrees with her.

Yeah and in a way I was comparing since both are women ( and believe it or not many people in this country believe palin was qualified, she has millions of fans , many of which are women) Now I don't think Palin was qualified, do I think Hillary yeah as much as Dick Cheney, Ted Cruz, Lieberman, Gore, Biden, Her Husband and the likes maybe she could be better but her track record seems pretty much the same as the others accept for her gender

7. deflection. The point is, if there are differences that need discussion with HRC its sexism.

Even not supporting her is considered ass kicking worthy ... re, Steinem

2. The Clinton Corollary to Godwin's Law. nt

6. If all 3 went to the same person to write their resume, guess what they'd walk out with?

Resumes that portray 3 wildly successful women: a Secretary of State, a CEO, and a Governor.

Holy crap criers! I can't go wrong with any of these amazing women!!!

But what applies to Fiorina and Palin, for some mysterious reasons, Hillary's supporters won't apply to Hillary. Can you guess what that is? Right! Scrutiny!!!

To Hillary's supporters, she's untouchable! That's why Fiorina and Pailin fail their tests but Hillary scores 15 on a scale of 1 to 10. It's up to Bernie supporters to scrutinize her record and say, you know if I only got Ted Cruz's resume, I'd hire Hillary in a heartbeat. But I got Bernie's resume, first, and this is where Hillary doesn't stack up. I think her two war votes together disqualify her. They scream naivety and poor judgment. Further, I want to take the country in a new direction and Hillary promises more of the same: Goldman Sachs advisors and so on. Those are the only people she knows and trusts. Now I see, when she was Senator during the Bush Admin, she worked with Repulicans, but that was then, this is now. She's more hated than Obama. I don't believe for one minute she will accomplish as much as Bernie with this Congress, and that will be nothing at all. So really, I'm looking at who has the best vision. Bernie wants to take the country where I want to take it. Hillary doesn't and will face more obstruction than Obama, obviously.

And there you have it. Hillary is a sacred cow, so to scrutinize her is sexist.

4. if you criticize the policy it's not sexist

if you use sexist tropes and dog whistles to criticize the policy, that is still sexist

pretty simple

5. A good question.

The same can be asked why it's OK to criticize Obama (TPP, etc.) here, but the default position is that any criticism coming from the right is due to racism.

It will be interesting to see how the Sanders supporters respond to the coming criticisms from the right should Clinton get the nomination.
