Uh-oh. A feminist hissy-fit for Hillary
Written by Paul Zannucci on 7:57 AM
I'm seriously thinking of pulling out Operation Ross Perot again. From The Huffington Post comes this estrogen-laden shriek appropriately titled How Dare You!
Women are outraged. We are still fighting for her, and we are ashamed of how our candidate, a woman who has devoted her adult life to serving others, a woman who has been a distinguished First Lady, a woman who has helped her colleagues pass legislation and win races in their own states, a woman who has stood up for all of our rights, has been treated not just by the media but by her own Democratic Party. Throughout all this, Hillary has maintained her focus, her message and her dignity.
If there were any truth to the karma thing, our entire universe would implode right about now. There isn't even any reason to rebut this garbage. Just sitting there by itself, without the rest of the article (or maybe even with it), any reasonable person would assume the paragraph is scathing sarcasm.
And, yet, it is not sarcasm, and if it is truly identifying the prevailing sentiment, it is beautiful. Perhaps the piece oversteps its bounds today, but with enough of these polemics perhaps we can create a hissy-fit nation (okay, we already sort of have one): a nation of crazy-mad liberal feminists who refuse to vote for Obama. Any sort of movement that has reasonable numbers to it would absolutely doom the Obama run.
Which brings up another question. Given what we know about Hillary, unless she's served her two terms, can you even imagine a presidential election without her? I can't, and it makes me smile.
