A couple of her... Is surrogates the right term? Made some not-great comments. That "there's a special place in hell for women who don't support women" one is the one that stands out to me.

Hillary herself I don't recall acting like that, though.

You realize she was talking about sanctions on Iraq and not the war in Iraq, right?

Also she was asked a lovely question:

quote:

In May 1996 Madeleine Albright, who was then the U.S. ambassador to the UN, was asked by 60 Minutes correspondent Lesley Stahl, in reference to years of U.S.-led economic sanctions against Iraq,

We have heard that half a million children have died. I mean, that is more children than died in Hiroshima. And, you know, is the price worth it?

To which Ambassador Albright responded,

I think that is a very hard choice, but the price, we think, the price is worth it.

I'm betting as soon as his contract is up they'll part ways after being unable to reach an agreement and Hannity will retreat back to Talk Radio. They'll blow through a bunch of generic establishment conservatives in his time slot for a few years until they find one that works.

Governor Hogan of Maryland isn't completely awful, for a Republican. He's at least on record saying he has no plans to support Trump. I still kinda hate him, though.

I've never understood why we keep electing Republican governors, the state is otherwise deep blue. At least they're mostly pretty centrist.

Hogan is awful, he took a bunch of money for mass transit and re-directed it to the communities that are dying on the vine as Maryland becomes Baltimore-centric instead of DC-centric. Also, he appointed a dude who unironically was using the MD state police as a domestic spying group against anti-Iraq war protestors to head the state's homeland security, he's been playing political football with Baltimore County because Hogan and Franchot are both terrified of Kamenetz running for governor, he repealed the OH MY GARSH!!! rain tax because some Luntz-level rear end in a top hat came up with the term rain tax and now the commercial and industrial lots with shittons of impervious areas are having the stormwater management being subsidized by those with smaller lots and higher property values and he's directing any heroin aid to anywhere but Baltimore

he's just some dude that was authoritarian enough during the ebola scare (white America was terrified of ISIS sleeper agents puking ebola into their Chipotle), got cancer, beat cancer (hooray!) and just has generic lovely policies to gently caress over growth in the state because of far-flung racist towns think they matter

also MD keeps electing Republican governors because it is held in non-presidential years

I do, especially in conjunction with the Iraq Liberation Act. Making regime change our official policy helped grease the wheels for Bush to garner bipartisan support for the invasion.

The sanctions killed a shitload of Iraqis and they weren't worth it imo.

As for what Hillary herself said:

quote:

SANDERS: So, Rachel, yes, Secretary Clinton does represent the establishment. I represent, I hope, ordinary Americans, and by the way — who are not all that enamored with the establishment. But I am very proud to have people like Keith Ellison and Raul Grijalva in the House, the co-chairmen of the House Progressive Caucus.

MADDOW: Secretary.

CLINTON: Well, look, I've got to just jump in here because, honestly, Sen. Sanders is the only person who I think would characterize me, a woman running to be the first woman president, as exemplifying the establishment. And I've got to tell you that it is ...
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2016/02/05/hillary-clinton-just-suggested-shes-not-establishment-come-on/

Now, I'm not some Alt-Right shithead. There are women who suffer everyday from discrimination. Do I think a millionaire who knows most of the leaders of the world and is married to a former president is one of them? She's been in the upper echelons of American politics for a couple decades. But her sex keeps her from being part of "the establishment"?

Now I think Bernie was being a bit too Leftist by even using a word like "The Establishment." That's 60s hippie talk and really vague. But I still think Hillary's counter is just as ridiculous.

I respect Barry Goldwater. He didn't die that long ago although he was part of the Conservative movement of 50-60 years ago. The one that actually believed in less government instead of using the government to bully everyone into being Christian.

I loving hate American Conservatism but I really hate the Religious Right. Whatever was bad about Conservatives 50 years ago, it got ten times worse when those fanatics came into power. The point of Conservatives is to get the government out of peoples' lives, not to regulate their lives by legislating morality.

Maybe I'm romanticizing it because I never had to experience it while I've had to live with the plague of the Christian Right all my life.

I thought the rumor was that Murdoch's kids want to shift Fox towards the center after the election?

And it's really hard to feel that bad for Kelly when she did have Trump in that ridiculous primetime special, and was just as soft on him as Hannity has been. They're all awful people.

He doesn't want women, transgender people, or gays serving in the military. Who knows what he actually believes, but it's just another piece of evidence that he'll fall in line with boilerplate neoconservative nonsense if it benefits himself.

So your argument is literally "she can't be discriminated against, she's rich and famous."

Yes? Are you aware you are literally making an alt-right argument?

Do you think racism was ended when Barack Obama became President? Do you think he never suffered any discrimination, prejudice or hatred based off his race after he became President?

Prejudice and discrimination don't end when you become famous. At best it takes on a different shape.

Edit: Again, I want to be clear here. You don't believe Hillary Clinton's sex has ever been an issue and used negatively against her during the 2016 campaign season or that people have chosen not to vote for her based off her gender. I want to be sure this is the argument you're making and you're not phrasing this poorly.
