Okay, let's talk about sexism in the campaign
By now you all know what John McCain yelled at his wife. In public. It does not bear repeating here.

So now we know who the real sexist is in this campaign. And it is NOT Barack Obama or his supporters.

It's this guy.

1. Right, this forum has been sexism free. You've gotta be kidding me.
The words used to describe Clinton on this forum have been the same or worse than any freeper site.

5. Totally caveat free
The poster has a point, but if I were going to say something to that effect, it would have been...

"You do have a point, McCain is the bigger culprit. But there have been some Obama supporters who were pretty vile in their sexism towards Clinton."

9. With the Exception of Involved Activists - Volunteers, Paid Campaigners and Delegate
This forum is not the campaign, although there have been many sexist and gender-based attacks on HC.

4. Damn straight. Can't wait till he's the focus...
His stand on women's issues should help motivate some people to vote against him.

6. Yeah, but Republicans are allowed to be sexist and racist.
And even worse.

They're entitled. Even 71-year-old McCain shows that he's ageist.

Anyway, the isms are only bad if someone thinks they can pin them on a Dem. ;-)

7. Worse still.
They're practically required. The two together comprise a substantial chunk of their base.

11. There's a photo of him and Cindy
He's pulling her arm up in some sort of victory motion. Not clasping her hand. Her hand is limp.

Very telling photo.
