Feminist backlash could await if Obama surrogates even MENTION Hillary's new crying moment

[synesthesia]

If everyone starts to pile on about how Hillary's new crying incident was staged, a lot of self righteous 65 year old women will 'relate' to being 'picked on'.

Best to avoid this all together. It's bullshit, but there's a lot of very old women who are bitter.

Watch out. If Tweety and co. go wild with how Hillary always pulls these timed incidents, the mobs of grey haired ladies may flood the voting booths.

This is dangerous. It might even be a consideration for Obama himself to denounce anyone who picks on Hillary, but I think that would be going a little too far and could backfire.

[Bluebear]

13. Gee, welcome to DU

[Egnever]

12. 'very old women who are bitter.' - more HOPEFUL rhetoric!

14. I doubt real feminists would defend a woman crying...

twice now...the day before the election when the polls are down.

In fact while I am posting. I really think Hillary is hurting the womens' rights movement. Running on her husband's record in the white house. Becoming emotional for sympathy.(sympathy not for the tears but against the criticism by the media that notes the convent timing of the tears)

She should stop talking about what her husband accomplished as though it's her own record. And she should stop the playing up of the alleged "snub." Enough with the victim card. Enough of the NY chapter of NOW making statements about Obama and Edwards "gang-banging (their words)" Hillary in the debates. Enough of the "all boys club of presidential politics" BS.

She needs to run on her own merits and not as a woman, but as a candidate.

20. You are a man. And a sexist to boot.

Your knowledge of feminism wound't fill a thimble.

[mckeown1128]

25. Sure, only women can be feminists. nt

15. Don't interview John Edwards

He's the one who went over the top last time.

[loveangelc]

16. if i were the clinton's i wouldn't push this story very hard. the first time helped, doing it twice

will be seen as very calculated imo.

[Tarc]

18. Well, the DU Obamaniac chapter is already running helter skelter with it

so your warning may be too little too late. Looks like a half-dozen misogynist topics about it already.

[Debi]

19. Gee, that would mean that her new tear up was planned just for the occasion

:cry: oops, there I go.....:eyes:

[adapa]

21. from a old lady to a young pup-

you try making .75 cents to every dollar your under qualified male co-worker makes because he has to support a family-

you try running a house, with kids & work full time

you try taking care of aging parents with Alzheimer's


Betcha the first one would make you bitter let alone all three

[Bluebear]

23. You said it.

[synesthesia]

24. *

you try having to take pills for erectile disfunction!

[JackORoses]

26. so you're going to pay all those men back by enabling John McCain to get elected?

that's not very feminist, but that's what will happen if Hillary is the nominee.

[formernaderite]

22. actually i think it's a good

strategy NOT to refer to it at all...she's counting on a fuss being made.
