Just whose side are we on, the side of Women, the side of Black people, the side of Democrats or the side of America?

Times running out to pick a side. Make sure it's the right one.

1. Fair and Balanced

We are on the side of true fair and balance, which is Democrats of America, which includes women, black people, white people and any others that believe in fair and balance for everyone.

2. Well, at first your analysis seems right, Cenk. . .

. . . .but methinks you think too much on the matter.. . which is what sHillary wants you to do.

Look, IMHO, even though I'm a woman whom you and she would include in her supporting demographics, I have always seen her as a FEMINIST FAKE, because, unlike those 60s women you describe as scarred by sexism, Hillary escaped it all as doors were opened to her repeatedly as a product of a wealthy, privileged upbringing AND a Presidential wife. . .

. . .these so-called diehard female Clinton supporters threatening NOT to vote for Obama. . .even vote for McCain, what BLUFFING BLUSTER. . .I'm serious.

The SIMPLE TRUTH is that, in typical MACHIAVELLIAN MODE, the Clinton faction (especially BOTH male and female big donors)are desperately fighting to regain their past glory in the party and national government. . .the sexist claim is only a tool.

Cenk, you play poker? If so, call on HILLARY FACTION and raise 'em by many-times the supporters Obama has . . .including the Independents and disillusioned Republicans who will cancel out any bluffing blustering Hillary diehards.

3. I'm a 51 year old woman from Texas

You'd think I'd be a Hillary supporter, right?

I was once, have the shirt even. Says Hillary for Senate.

Today's shirt reads Texans for Obama.

Am I a sexist?

4. You don't sound particularly sexist to me.

Actually, you sound a great deal like my 52-year-old wife, who spent days and nights leading up to the Pennsylvania primary canvassing and making phone calls with Women for Obama. This whole demographic thing of "this groups skews for this candidate, that one votes for the other one" keeps looking more and more like a lot of hogwash. My wife, by the way, is an elementary school guidance counselor, and is influencing a whole new generation of girls on how to be "sexist".

5. I lived through the sexism. It was just as bad as racism.

My career choices were very narrow, and even after I had a master's degree, the highest paying job I could get was as a service rep for a huge company. My "office" was a desk in a row of desks in an enormous hall. You must visualize row upon row of identical desks, trays of customer files and telephones. All desks were organized in precisely the same way so that any service rep could be assigned to any desk in the hall and know exactly where everything was. That way the reps could be moved to a new desk and new accounts without losing more than a couple of minutes of precious time on the phone talking to customers.

All calls were monitored.

And here is what you have to see to believe: There were no men, not a single man sitting in any of the rows of desks in the area of the office in which I sat.

But, against one wall of the huge room, there was an area enclosed by glass. A secretary sat behind the glass. Behind her were offices with doors that actually opened and closed. I never saw the men who sat in and worked in those offices. I only saw their secretary behind the glass.
