I haven't seen one instance of it. Someone held up a sign that read "Iron My Shirt"..Was it an act okayed by the Obama camp? I sincerely doubt it. How do you know acts such as that weren't being conducted by some agent provocateur from the republican party?

No, that was two DJ's from a local NH radio station acting on their own for their broadcast if I remember correctly.

6. Yes. It's been widely reported and she knows it.
She just counts on other people not knowing that. Her repeated mentioning of Obama and misogyny is much like Bush saying "Iraq" and "Al Qaeda" as many times as he can in the same sentence to create a link where there is none. Disgusting.

2. Rationalization for loss ...
It's not that she ran an inferior campaign, listened to the wrong
advisers, etc. -- it was SEXISM and a media bias.

8. Ding! Ding!
Your post nails it: Hillary and her supporters cannot accept that she last fairly, but have explain it away by cries of Sexism. In their eyes, she is the best possible candidate, and since everyone recognizes this, the only possible way to explain her losing the nomination is because of bigotry and bias.

4. In the comedy of errors that was her campaign, the lame blaming is the next step of the delusion.
Oy.

5. I've been going round the web. A lot of Democrats feel that way.
I don't know exactly how many have been grossed out. In this context, it doesn't matter whether the Obama campaign was misogynist or not. Some formerly staunch Democrats are talking that way, I promise you.

7. I just haven't seen it at all.
And I can be pretty touchy about that kind of thing being that I'm a woman. The examples I've seen have been the silliest, nit-picky, stretched waaaaay out of proportion instances. It's truly embarrassing.
