Disgusting sexism on O'Reilly
Advertisements [?]
Don't ask why I decided to turn on this crap, but CNN was in commercials and MSNBC is doing some crap show, so I wandered over to Faux, and listening for two minutes made me sick.

They are doing a segment on whether or not we are ready for a woman president, and expressing concerns about PMS. Then one of the guests (Mark Rudov) says it's ok to have a woman president as long as she is qualified and doesn't have a "female agenda". Says she needs executive experience...nevermind that none of the remaining candidates have it.

None of this changes my support for Obama, but it is pretty sickening. I think Hillary's gender has helped her more than it has hurt her (based on the exit polls), but I don't disagree with those Clinton supporters who say that sexism is alive and well.

Faux News is vile and disgusting and I don't want to see ANY Obama supporters here sounding like this. I was pretty appalled earlier today when a fellow Obama supporter talked about PMS impairing Clinton's judgment as president.
