Actually you hampster are just a sexist who loves porn.

Who is "they"?

You have to understand, all this misogynist tripe that's been targeting Hillary and often women who back her as well, is every bit as vile as using the "n" word. But unlike racism, sexism isn't condemned but flagrantly encouraged- by so called "progressives" as well as right wingers and moderates. Don't be dismissive, that makes it look like you are in agreement with it. Think about it, had a McCain supporter said something racist about Obama would you have dismissed an Obama backer for expressing the same sentiments? I wouldn't, and I don't even like Obama- but I dislike Obama for his misogyny, classism, ageism and weak voting record on  human rights issues, and weak record on enviromental issues.

I'm mixed race myself- part Native American, and it was obvious enough when I was a child other kids thought I was Ameriasian, I was called "little jap girl" by other kids. They meant it as an insult and I knew they did, but to me it wasn't an insult, but something to take pride in.

I'm not part Japanese, but the interesting thing that insult being flung at me had- I developed an interest in Japanese history and culture- both modern pop culture and classic art and literature. An interest I still have to this day. I often get irritated at false picture in western media and culture of Japanese women- it's a racist sexist stereotype that needed to go away a long time ago.  All stereotypes are nasty and shouldn't be tolerated, especially by people that call themselves liberal or progressive.

The few (and contrary to what you Obama backers probably believe, it is very few) Hillary backers that spout stereotypical anti muslim comments (I've never seen one racist comment about Obama as an African American from Hillary backers, again contrary to what you probably believe) gets me angry. I have dear friends that are Muslim and when those things are said I think of my friends that are Muslim- a woman in Turkey, a woman in Malaysia, one of my college professors, who is a Muslim feminist from Pakistan, who proudly argues  with Wahabists. The way Obama said he wasn't Muslim bothered me too, though. He said it in a way that sounded like an insult to Muslims. I  thought he could have said he wasn't with more sensitivity.

When you have a personal connection to something it makes you more aware. The sad thing is though, liberal and progressive guys do have personal connections to women- if no one else, their mothers, but yet so many have ZERO sensitivity to misogyny and many spout it themselves, without a second thought, and attack or dismiss it, when called on it.      

as if that's an either or situation.

At this point in a hard fought primary battle that your candidate has now lost.

And given what we all know will be a nasty, dirty, dishonest smear campaign by the McCain/Corporate right wing against Barack Obama for the General Election for President of our beloved and wounded country in November.

I ask you to think about what you've been reduced to, by trying to throw every last piece of the kitchen, bathroom, and any other sink at:
not something that Obama said or his campaign said.
But at some back-bench Congressman who said some stupid things about Hillary.

Obama didn't say it, the campaign didn't say it, I didn't say it.
You are a passionate Democrat and a talented writer. Don't let yourself get "reduced to" too little yourself. Please don't.

I think it was Tuesday night and can't remember if it was Wolf or Anderson moderating the pundits.  It is possible that it was not until Wednesday night, (though I was trying hard not to watch any of those guys on Wednesday,) if that helps anyone find the spot.

BTW, how do you define "remotely connected?"

as you sailed overhead?

stuck pigs when Obama goes down the toilet in November.
May they all go down with him.

Good riddance.

Identity politics don't look good for America, because they remind us that we're not to the point where identity doesn't matter.

But if blacks vote Obama or women vote Hillary because they feel a connection and have a belief that their candidate can empower them, then I see no problem with that.

But whites voting for a white candidate because s/he's white isn't about empowerment, but about oppression.

Big difference.

I'm betting most blacks didn't vote for Obama to oppress whites, and most women didn't vote for Hillary to oppress men.  Rising to a point of true equality is not the same as keeping another group from bettering itself.

They get away with posting the most egregiously racist stuff all the time here, because people really doesn't mind it if it's harmful to Obama.

You're new. It's the price we pay to post here, is dealing with these ridiculously unfair slams.

Think of it this way, though: most of these people are actually neocons, if not in intent, then in actual effect.  It will become very clear to everyone what they are once Obama wins the nomination and they continue to slam him without offering productive discourse.

The site owners will lose all credibility if they don't do anything about it at that point.

black people could not think or make a choice based on policy?

As late as October 2007, most African-Americans supported Hillary.  It wasn't until after Iowa that AAs started to believe in the possibility of a black president, and it wasn't until after South Carolina that the AA vote shifted overwhelmingly to Obama.  This was a reflection of how both candidates ran their races, and it doesn't reflect well on the Clintons (I think that Bill Clinton's remarks in South Carolina turned the tide, possibly costing Hillary the nomination).

How dare he?!?

Word.

No, vencian, that's false, as usual.  I posted that people had raised questions about whether he has dual citizenship.  Get it?  dual.  I did not state an opinion one way or the other.  I stated that there were questions, which there are.  But, I forget, no one is supposed to ask any questions about Barack's background because he is the anointed one.  Gimmee a break.
