Wow Dale, thanks for directing me to yet more misogynist comments. I love how that blogger decides that being a shock jock radio show host somehow makes one not a misogynist protester, as if one can’t be both at the same time. I was pretty sure that it was quite the opposite. Someone needs to tell the morons that something being a “joke” doesn’t make it not bigoted. Though I’m not going to waste my time doing it. Next, I’ll start hearing that Rush Limbaugh isn’t singing “Obama, the Magic Negro” due to his racism, but to get ratings. Here’s a clue, folks: if you use racism/misogyny/homophobia/any other kind of bigotry to further your career, you are indeed a bigot.

Well, see, it’s OKAY if the MEN are underhanded, calculating, manipulative, etc. It’s not natural to them, it’s just the nature of the political beast. And being able to rise to the occasion is MANLY.

Women, otoh, are naturally underhanded, calculating and manipulative. So, when they do it, it’s wrong.

Or something. It’s hard to parse bigot “logic”.

Thanks. And UGH. Did you read those comments? Yeah, Hillary paid planted protesters to tell her to iron their shirts. WTF? I bet that she pays Rush Limbaugh, too. I’m so sick of the bullshit about how everything about Clinton is “calculated” — as if that’s different than any other presidential candidate (or hell, any federal politician) on either side.

My bad. It wasn’t from the article. It’s from here:

I don’t actually see that in this article. Did you read it in a different one? Not that I doubt it; people say stupid shit like that all the time. Just curious.

The “best” part is at the end of the article where the protestors are quoted as saying that they don’t have anything against women, they just don’t think one should be president.

So, you know, they don’t dislike women, they just dislike women, feel the need to attempt to humilate them in public with sexist gender roles. Clear as mud.
