This diary is offensive, particularly the "waving penises" bit. It's clear that the last refuge of bitter Clinton supporters is to wildly throw around accusations of sexism.

This isn't pretty, and surely you have more dignity in losing than that.

Yes, wildly, since there appears to have been no sign of such a phenomenon.

Actually, its fairly clear what Stanley is saying, says just as much as her as what she apparently thinks of other women.

If for just one day I would like to be a token Bitch because I completely agree with everything you said in this diary. It's fantastic.

Highly Recommended!

Whether you like it or not a lot of women do vote that way. That's all they're saying. Not that all do. That kind of thing also helped JFK get elected.

in assuaging any voter -- male or female -- is to get past personal animosity -- which yesterday's View showed was entirely possible among at least some in Hillary's most loyal demographic. That was the point.

As you well know, Dowd et al find much to recommend in Barack other than his smouldering sexuality. There's an assumption among many of his supporters that the majority of Americans will come to appreciate his considerable gifts if they allow themselves to view him unfiltered (sans sleezeball attacks, hyperbolic generalizations about his experience, or, yes, his incorrect gender).

But I've long maintained that some of the old culture warriors -- those whose identities are wrapped up in the battling, the bickering, and the demonization of adversaries -- will probably always feel left out of the Obama coalition, for he genuinely asks us to work together to forge a new kind of politics and cultural public sphere that's not particularly inviting to some. I suspect from the tone of your diary that you are one of those who will never allow yourself to see the transformative potential of this man, because you will always find some politically incorrect word or gesture to raise your blood pressure.

I just let here have it!  Felt sooooo good.

Obama has had a lot of practice charming white liberals of both sexes: he was raised by his white liberal grandparents from age 10-college.

See quote from DREAMS OF MY FATHER, and good commentary at  http://isteve.blogspot.com/2008/03/obama -throws-his-own-living-grannie.html
In this entry Steve Sailer quotes Obama's white grandfather displaying some shocking liberal guilt (and dysfunctionally dumping it on a 17-year-old Obama). Obama was raised by these white grandparents from age 10-college.

I am a man and I have a close group of male friends who are all totally devoted to Hillary winning:  their names are Brad, Gabe, Jay, Chris, and I'm Greg.  And in the Ohio primary I was able to convince Mike and Brian to vote for Hillary.  So it's not just women who are angry.  It's also the fair-minded men who can inspire themselves and can find hope in their own lives who don't need a president to make them feel better about themselves.

I guess I walked into that one. Thanks for expressing curiosity. Frankly, I have some doubt about it, however, because so very very much has already been said and written by so many many Obama supporters. So, one is left to conclude that if anyone out there still has no idea what inspires us, they probably never will.

Note that this not the same as agreeing with us. I don't agree with Hillary supporters' feelings that her brand of "fighting" and "working hard" with all her years of experience is the best way to pass a progressive agenda, but I certainly understand the rationale behind such feelings.

But if you really want to go to the trouble, you can always see more of what inspires this Barack supporter through this diary:
