"Hillary Rodham Clinton's campaign stop was interrupted on Monday when two men stood in the crowd and began screaming, "Iron my shirt!" during one the New York senator's final appearances before New Hampshire voters cast primary ballots Tuesday.

more stories like thisClinton, a former first lady running to become the nation's first female president, laughed at the seemingly sexist protest that suggested a woman's place is doing the laundry and not running the country.

"Ah, the remnants of sexism -- alive and well," Clinton said to applause in a school auditorium".


Here ya go..I fully expect all those anti-Hill gals to pipe in and say this is just fine..
don't think this will magically go away when Hill is gone..

1. After what I have read here at DU today, nothing shocks me anymore.

[question everything]

26. Agree

Of course, there are many who use a more vulgar language, often referring to her sex organs. Thankfully, if any are on DU they are deleted before I have had a chance to throw up.

2. These guys were hopelessly disgusting

Be glad you're not married to any of them

[rodeodance]

3. well, Hil hit on the button for all the world to hear!!

[KennedyGuy]

4. well..fortunatly, men will always need shirts ironed

never fear gals..

[Kahuna]

5. I wonder if they were plants to motivate women to turn out for Hillary..

It just wouldn't surprise me.

[Beausoir]

7. Pathetic and desperate.

[ButterflyBlood]

10. That's EXACTLY what they were

Make no doubt about it.

[maximusveritas]

13. Or maybe Republican plants to make us think they're Clinton plants

Either one is infinitely more likely than the possibility that they were for real.

[Egnever]

6. Now thats way out of line

Why would you expect anyone to think this was just fine?

[KennedyGuy]

11. Have you been reading this board?

Hillary bashing is all the rage. Calling her a catty, shrill, harpy is now part of normal descriptive vocabulary, now acceptable I guess, to describe a female candidate.
Very few woman..though there are a few..will step in and condem it.

8. This is the "I can do whatever I want because my momma ain't gonna slap me" crowd.

It's up to us to call these people on their BS. I hope they're hung out to dry publicly... no pun intended.

[Anouka]

9. Eh. Sounds planted n/t

[IndianaGreen]

14. Sounds planted to me too!

I just don't believe that crowd anymore!

12. Anybody know where Wolsh was today?

Methinks he infiltrated a Clinton rally

[CyberPieHole]

23. LOL...on the nose! n/t

[Nailzberg]

27. LOL, except for the whole civility thing.

Do not talk negatively about an individual in a thread where they are not participating.

[Darth_Kitten]

15. No woman needs this shit.

n/t

[Adelante]

16. Of course it's not fine

Sexism is not fine.

[gdaerin]

17. This was already debunked

[Connie_Corleone]

18. Do you have a link for the debunking? Thanks.

[KennedyGuy]

21. yeah..wheres the debunk link

I will remove the thread and apologize if I posted false info..

[dailykoff]

19. Which is why they started a new thread.

You'll see this a lot and by the way welcome. :hi:

[KennedyGuy]

24. maybe YOU know where the debunk link is?

its easy to SAY anything..where has this been debunked?
proof..or just words?

[KennedyGuy]

25. thought so..total garbage..

[greenbriar]

20. I was thinking MM's laundry bit in SICKO

[lisainmilo]

22. Actually probably helped Clinton....

Because if any of those ASSHOLES are married, those wives are sure to vote for her!
