During the 2008 Presidential Campaign, Hillary Clinton supporters accused then Senator Barack Obama of sexism. White women were crying in the street about how he was getting away with murder. They even had some misguided black women moaning too.
Last week a North Korean Foreign Military spokesperson said this about Secretary of State Hillary Clinton:
“by no means intelligent” and “sometimes she looks like a primary schoolgirl and sometimes a pensioner going shopping.”
So basically he called her a stupid old person that dresses like a child. That’s a knock on the elderly, children and dumb people. But really I hear a note of sexism.
I’m waiting for the outrage but all I hear from Clinton supporters are crickets. Where is the picketing and protesting against North Korea? Where is the demand for an apology? This is the opportunity for Clinton supporters to stand up and strike a blow against sexism. Or maybe your problem in the 2008 campaign wasn’t sexism but a little thing I like to call “racism”.
