To say Hillary is weak and crying is sexist once again. Day #3 of the rampant sexism.

[LoZoccolo]

This is a clip of what we are talking about:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MVlwH7-05Fk

Now compare it to this Howard Dean moment:

"I'll tell you something, Chris," Dr. Dean said. "No matter what happens, this will always be home." He was suddenly choked up with emotion and tears welled in his eyes. "And I'm going to quit there," he said, hurrying out of the room.

We didn't see tons of threads about that, now did we? Proof again of the sexism rampant on DU, which is teeming with sexists and macho men wanna-bes.

[Kucinich4America]

1. As my old friend Kurt once wrote.....

"The finest day that I've ever had
Was when I learned to cry on command...."

Perhaps Hillary is a Nirvana fan? Hell, at least then I could respect her a little.

[aquart]

4. Oh, I don't see that happening.

It takes both fellow feeling and knowledge to respect and appreciate such a woman. All the lyrics in the world can't provide that. Funny you thinking they could.

[LoZoccolo]

8. Even if she was faking - which she wasn't - it would still be better than

faking that you saw a huge flying triangle in the sky.

[WahooJunkie]

51. hahahahah

hahahahhahahahahahaha

ha


haha

ha

are you SERIOUSLY focusing on that?

the next thing you'll tell me is that Kucinish is doll-like and unelectable because of that.

Oh yeah, and his wife has a tongue ring

GASP!

whatever

[aquart]

2. Now, now. When Muskie cried, THAT was womanish.

When Hillary cries, it's... uh....mannish? No, that's not it. Weak. Womanish is weak. Got it now. Can't have that in a president. Can't have a woman president.

[graywarrior]

3. Hillary is not my first choice, but this stuff is starting to piss me off.

Women can't win no matter what. Cry and you're too emotional or faking, don't cry and you're a man.

[Joe the Revelator]

6. Thats bullshit and you know it. Tell me one man that can get away with crying

These people are vying to be the LEADER of the country. They need to be in control of their emotions no matter what sex they are.

[LoZoccolo]

9. Howard Dean n/t

[Kucinich4America]

25. That wasn't crying, that was yelling over a noisy crowd

And it was grossly distorted by the whore media. I doubt we'll see the "Crying Hillary" video repeated 700 times this week. Unless it (by some unholy miracle) gives her a win in New Hampshire.

In which case, the DLC will ensure that it's on a constant tape loop until Feb. 5

[LoZoccolo]

30. Did you even read the OP? n/t

[countingbluecars]

14. When Bush tears up

the media gushes about how much he cares.

[LoZoccolo]

16. George W. Bush* holding back tears, right here.

[Joe the Revelator]

22. Do a search for posts from that day. DU was all OVER him for that.

I can't stand hypocrisy.

[LoZoccolo]

19. George H. W. Bush tearing up right here.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-lkPXVnZAis

[Joe the Revelator]

24. I mean, even the video you posted is making fun of him nt

[Zynx]

35. I remember him doing that after 9/11.

The media was like "Awwwww....."

[graywarrior]

20. Whatever

[Nederland]

27. Bill Clinton (nt)

[Nederland]

28. George Bush (nt)

[Nederland]

29. Ronald Reagan

Shall I stop now, or do you get the point?

[Joe the Revelator]

32. Whats point?

You've named a republican, a loser and a Clinton. All people who were lambasted for crying. The point was suppose to be you showing me a time that crying HELPED someone.

[Nederland]

36. It helped all of them

In every case, the press made it out that it showed their compassion.

[LoZoccolo]

31. John Kerry n/t

[Zynx]

37. People are naturally emotional. The idea that you can always bottle that

up with rationality is so much nonsense.

[formernaderite]

48. thanks

i also prefer the unemotional candidate...couldn't care less what sex, though I'd prob be harder on a guy that wussed out. I don't have a problem with Hillary's emotional life...i could care less if she's nice or mean...I just flat out hate the clinton legacy of trinagulation finger in the wind politics. But please....no crying on tv

[Joe the Revelator]

5. The leader of the free world, male OR female, needs to be in control of their emotions

The same thing is applyed to Musky, Hillary, or any other candidate that loses control in search of political gain.

[Demoiselle]

12. She was in complete control.

Bill isn't the only accomplished actor in the Clinton family.

[Nedsdag]

49. Except...

Bill is the BETTER actor!

[Alexander]

7. You apparently don't remember EDMUND MUSKIE.

Crying single-handedly killed his candidacy. And he was male.

Speaking of crying, sounds like you need a ride in one of these:

[LoZoccolo]

11. Well you need an Etch-A-Sketch. n/t

[Alexander]

15. You need a diaper change. Your bullshit STINKS.

[LoZoccolo]

17. Go get you an aluminum pie tin. n/t

[Alexander]

21. It would take a dump truck to carry all of your BULLSHIT.

And Oasis still sucks ass.

Still haven't changed your choice of vehicle, I see.

[LoZoccolo]

23. Tell everybody here about that rice cooker while you're at it.

Go on, everyone's listening.

[Alexander]

33. Get over it, you whiny baby. You fool no one with your Obama avatar.

You're a Hillbot and everyone knows it.

"Go on, everyone's listening."

Not to you, they aren't.

[LoZoccolo]

39. I am not a Hillbot.

I am a Go-Bot. That mighty ambulance folds out into a mighty robot!

[Alexander]

40. Oasis sucks and you've been an obvious Hillbot from Day 1.

Funny how you claim perceived sexism, but you didn't notice one thread saying Obama was a crack dealer, or another saying a mobster bought his house for him, or another comparing him with Hitler.

Nope. No racism here. Only sexism. :eyes:

[TheWraith]

10. Day three of claiming anyone who doesn't worship the anointed one is sexist. NT

[dionysus]

13. oasis sucks ass.

[Alexander]

38. Yeah they do, and their singer's a complete asshole.

Birds of a feather and all that.

[dionysus]

53. when me and my brother noel aren't fighting, we're in our hotel room.... snorting cocaine!

[sandnsea]

18. Because it was HONEST n/t

[Cant trust em]

26. I don't care if the tears were real or not

Weak or phony, take your pick.

[Blue_In_AK]

34. Hillary isn't my first choice

but I really think this is much ado about nothing. But that's what campaigns are all about, it seems.

[Kucinich4America]

41. Whoah whoah whoah Hillary's cryin'

http://www.theage.com.au/ffximage/2007/08/14/vanhalen_wideweb__470x380,0.jpg

She wants a win in New Hampshire, uh yeah yeah
Uh, just to try to make herself feel better
She said "Gimme (Gimme a corporate donation sometime)"
But she knows what that'll get her

Oh, whoa, whoa, Hillary's cryin'
Oh, whoa, whoa, Hillary's cryin'

[LoZoccolo]

42. I thought that they were angels, but to my surprise, they climbed aboard their starship

And headed for the skies!

They said:

Come sail away
Come sail away
Come sail away with me, Dennis!

[Alexander]

43. You parodied STYX? Shows how out-of-touch you are.

:rofl:

[Kucinich4America]

45. No shit!

Even OASIS is better than what passes for "Styx" these days.

[LoZoccolo]

52. My song is only one year old than his song.

Jamie's Cryin' - 1978 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jamie%27s_Cryin%27
Come Sail Away - 1977 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Come_Sail_Away

I would posit that "Come Sail Away" is an order of magnitude more considered a classic than the Van Halen song, despite the fact that it was sampled for "Wild Thing" by Tone Lōc.

[dionysus]

54. oh that's an argument you're sure to lose!!

Styx!?!?!?!?! Styx!?!?!?! :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

what namby pamby ass shit is THAT!!!

Now go break out your Bread records for a response.. bwaaaaaaaaaaa

[LoZoccolo]

56. You lose.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=105&topic_id=7326690&mesg_id=7326690

[dionysus]

58. LOL, a DU lounge poll?

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Alexander]

55. But infinitely more cheesy and LAME.

Just like your "arguments".

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

You lost. Get over it.

[LoZoccolo]

57. You lose.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=105&topic_id=7326690&mesg_id=7326690

[Alexander]

59. Because you consistently listen to lame, cheesy music?

Yeah, I lose all right. I must really be missing out.

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[LoZoccolo]

61. If you think that that song is cheesy, it only reflects worse on Kucinich.

He's the one who saw the UFO, like in the song.

[Alexander]

64. I don't care how you think it reflects on Kucinich. I support Obama.

Whereas you support Hillary, you are just dishonest about it.

[LoZoccolo]

66. I am against this sexist attack. n/t

[JVS]

62. See further: oasis

[Alexander]

65. LOL! It's funny because it's true.

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[laconicsax]

44. The articles about it themselves are sexist.

Every article I've seen so far has the tone of "that poor emotional woman--she can't keep from crying."

[Township75]

46. Well if she lets out a ear-splitting scream, then everyone will forget she cried, just like Dean *

*

[robbedvoter]

47. Thank you. I haven't seen this new wave of ugly. I am speechless!

[DeepModem Mom]

50. K&R!

[Marrah_G]

60. Hillary is not my first choice, but I am pretty fed up

Pretty soon I am just going to start posting "GO FUCK YOURSELF" on every single nasty post made against any of the candidates.

People can't seem to understand the difference between a critical post and a down right nasty post.

As for the sexism at DU..... I am ashamed of many Duer's today, even some I once respected. I will never be able to read their posts the same way again. Sexism is disgusting and has no place on DU.

Shame on those of you behaving that way.

[readmoreoften]

63. Oh my god. I can't believe it. I totally agree with you for once. /nt

[martymar64]

67. Whether she cries or not is irrelevant, her policies still stink.

:puke:
