Obama has directly and unequivocally engaged in misogynist rhetoric himself and he has not bothered to distance himself from the misogyny of his supporters. Randi Rhodes is a nationally syndicated talk show host performing at an event organized by Obama supporters, for obama supporters who found her calling the first viable female candidate for president a "fucking whore" hillarious.
Obama's "periodically" comment, his "tea with ambassadors" comment and his "the claws come out" comment are all unambiguous sexism - whether his supporters have the level of maturity to admit it or not.
i'm sorry, but trying to turn the "periodically" statement into sexism is in no way being mature.
Wrong - it's every bit as sexist as if Republicans joked about Obama shining shoes in Springfield. It is one of the ugliest, most blatantly sexist remarks I've ever heard from a Democrat. It's the kind of low life crap that Claytie used against Ann Richards in Texas. It's pigshit rhetoric. pigshit.
I look at this website periodically.
