masbury says: People are right to decry boorish anti-Clinton comments, offensive jokes, and the bilge, bile, and billings-gate of the talk-radio blowhards, as well as occasional over-the-top utterances from cable commentators. But let's not mistake the Bruegelian sideshow for the political mainstream. Even allowing for all that stupidity, the notion that sexism is primarily to blame for Clinton's woes doesn't pass logical muster. No, it does not. Although it is to be expected that any non-white male candidate will get lambasted for rocking the power structure. And we should not allow such vile attacks to occur. I've read two great articles about this recently: http://www.salon.com/mwt/broadsheet/ http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/05/14/AR2008051403090.html Thanks for the links dulios. Two things snuffed my interest in Clinton: militarism and dishonesty. I'd not support any candidate with those characteristics. |
