Anti-Hillary Campaign Sexist

In order to save themselves from being presided over by a woman, conservatives have taken to the blog world. With a Myspace page in tow, the No Hillary Clinton campaign has started with posting hearsay stories about her credentials. They have also posted an animated boxing ring where their supporters can "knock her head off" and a gun man with the caption "God is gonna cut you down!" The display of violence is no shocker since men have frequently turned to violence to put women down (rape, domestic assault). Also prominent in the sexist cliche is the resort to her looks as a way of downplaying her as a person. The site boasts "ugly banners" where users can add pictures to their personal websites of Clinton with "No Hillary" inscribed. Sexism at its finest!

I am not adding their site information to this post; you just have to trust me or google it yourself.

This is tragic. I swear a lot of Americans are so behind. Many other countries have female presidents, but we are just so resistant to change.

I hope to see a female President of the United States during my lifetime.

And furthermore, Myspace is a breeding grounds for all kinds of abuse, bullying, exploitation, pedophilia and violence. Ridiculous.

I hate to say it but I will not be voting for her, it has nothing to do with me not wanting a female president, but as a male victim of domestic violence who luckily was able to get custody of our children when my ex wife left them alone at the tender ages of 7 and 3, Ms. Clinton talks about how wrong domestic violene is and commits it herself. here is a quote from a biography of her. "According to a generally complimentary biography Hillary's Choice, by author Gail Sheehy, Hillary Clinton has attacked her husband on several occassions. In 1993, Hillary allegedly slashed Bill Clinton's face with her long fingernails, leaving a "mean Claw mark along his jawline." Dee Dee Myers, the White House spokeswoman at the time, later explained to Sheehy that it had been singer Barbara Streisands visit to the White House that had sparked Hillary's rage. According to Christopher Anderson, author of Bill and Hillary, Hillary also assaulted him on August 13, 1999, after the Monica Lewinsky revelations. Anderson writes: ''Much of what transpired next between Bill and Hillary Clinton was plainly audible to Secret Service agents and household staff members down the hall. In the past, Hillary had thrown books and an ashtray at the President--both hitting their mark...Hillary rose to her feet and slapped him across the face--hard enough to leave a red mark that would be clearly visible to Secret Service agents when he left the room.'' Sheehy's account of the incident is similar, though the book also mentions a lamp that was thrown by Hillary Clinton in this or another incident, but she does confirm the the August 13, 1999 assault by a quote from Hillary friend Linda Bloodworth-Thomasen who was staying with her husband in the private quarters nearby who confirmed that Hillary Clinton ''smacked him upside the head.'' if u want the link here it is and I'm sure the book is still available. http://www.safe4all.org/essays/victims

If it wasn't for her coming down so hard on dmestic violence and being guilty of it herself I would of in fact voted for her.
