Before someone used misogynistic language to describe Senator Clinton. And, big surprise, it was not on Fox Noise, but MSNBC. I am just in shock at this. And temendously saddened at what is seen as permissible regarding women. Holy cow, I haven't the foggiest how Clinton puts up with this day in and day out. I mean, I know most (all?) women deal with sexism just about every day, but to have to deal with it so publicly, and to have it be seen almost as SPORT, is just nauseating. Wow. Just freakin' wow. So, here's my latest letter to the powers-that-be at NBC:
Dear Mr. Capus and Mr. Griffin:
I am practically speechless regarding your network allowing Roger Stone to appear not once, but TWICE recently to denigrate not just Hillary Clinton, but all women, with his anti-Clinton/anti-woman 527 organization and their acronym. You, sirs, and your network, have gone beyond the pale. Your consistent enabling of sexist, and MISOGYNISTIC, behavior by your guests, your hosts, and your reporters, is appalling.
Your network has shown clear bias against Hillary Clinton since her presidential campaign began, but this - this is an all-time low. To allow this hate monger to appear on your network MORE THAN ONCE to denigrate her is just shocking. At long last, you have NO decency, sirs. None. None at all. Shame, SHAME on you. This is simply disgraceful.
I hope, and pray, that your FEC license is suspended, at the very, very least. I know that I, for one, will NEVER watch your network again, and will encourage my family and friends to do likewise.
The Rev. Amy
AND NOW, for something to counteract that vitriol, there was a lovely post by a woman at Daily Kos today regarding Senator Clinton. One of the really cool things about it is that it includes actual legislation on which she has worked (see, unlike the Obamabots, people actually KNOW what Clinton has done while in office - just sayin'!), and more about her working life post-law school. See, here's the thing - THIS kind of thing is hardly EVER discussed when it comes to Hillary - her actual history and accomplishments. Again, that is the complete and utter failure of the media. Anyway, here it is. Enjoy! http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2008/2/20/205647/071/860/460876
