A Fair & Balanced blog, to be sure. NOT. Poster does not describe ANYTHING that is close to negative. Not like the Clinton campaign, anyway.

Here's a good one:

On October 12, Senator Obama hit below the belt, questioning Sen. Clinton's legitimacy, experience and merits with one sexist blow:

"The default candidate for Democrats in this race was always going to be Hillary Clinton because she's Hillary Clinton as opposed to Hillary Rodham," he said.

This is sexist and extremely personal at its core - claiming she is where she is because of the man she married and that she does not posses merits of her own. In short, his argument is, were she any other woman, he'd be beating her even with his admitted "modest" experience. Further, it is the sexist equivalent of Ferraro's statement that was deemed racist, offensive and divisive and led to her removal from the campaign.

"...sexist and extremely personal at its core..." Or true, if you want to be accurate.
