Clearly, race trumps gender:
Hillary vs. Obama = the bitch vs the black man
Hillary vs. black woman = the white bitch vs. the black bitch
Hillary vs. white man = the bitch vs white man
Misogyny is alive and well across the US. I'm trying to remove the word "bitch" from my vocabulary. I'm not a woman-hater.
Do you think Imus got fired because he called the Rugby basketball team hos? or for the "nappy-headed" adjective that prefaced it?
Shame this election is being hallmarked as a black or woman... when Bush appointed both to one of the most important positions in the country... yet the mainstream media (and markedly the bulk, if not all of this board) was silent. Hypocrisy in it's finest hour.
I think the bulk of us are past that.. and those that aren't... they are in states that don't matter... either hyper-blue or hyper-red. I tend to think the bulk of Americans are adults... granted they know very little about actual fact and detail, but are actually civil in their preference. No?
Indeed.. including ppl making a comment here, and seeing their brethren do the same here on LPSG. The hypocrisy is so softball-fluffy-pitch to point out, it's laughable at times.Italian1 said:People bash Bush all the time, and have made a sport of comparing him to Hitler.
I think that many American men are against Hillary simply because of her gender. Certainly, it's not the vast majority, but it's strong enough that it could keep her from being elected.
Why do you need a dick to run the country? :biggrin1:
Fact-check!
It's easy to pretend that people on LPSG are "making a sport" of comparing Bush to Hitler. But it's an untrue fantasy on the part of Italian1 and faceking.
There are exactly eight Google hits on all of LPSG (not counting this one) in which Bush and Hitler are mentioned together. Here they are:So there you have it. One post in which a member drew a comparison between Bush and Hitler, and another post in which a member of the Senate compared Democrats to Hitler. And now, a post comparing Hillary Clinton to Hitler. By my count, we owe you one.
- On March 26, former member big dirigible used the phrase to taunt liberals: "Go ahead, say it - "Bush = Hitler". Appreciate its cathartic, if not actual, value." No one actually took him up on the offer.
- Later in the same thread, on April 4, JQBlonde called Bush/Hitler comparisons "TRIPE".
- On May 26, Rikter8 made the only explicit comparison of Bush to Hitler on LPSG. He stated that both men "preyed on human emotion to rally people up."
- On May 31, RideRocket responded to Rikter8's comparison, telling him to "lighten up".
- On September 20, NineInchCock160IQ stated that people who call Bush Hitler "seem like complete boobs".
- ...In fact, he explicitly refuted the comparison in another post in that thread by saying that "...I don't believe Bush has the power, whereas Hitler was the fuhrer, Bush is only a puppet."
- Way back in May 2005, LongTimeComing stated that "anyone" who drew blanket comparisons to Hitler "is an idiot regardless of right or left."
- Finally, also in May 2005, quoting then-Senator Rick Santorum, who compared the Democratic leadership in Congress to Hitler.
Now, who's making a sport of this?
B> you needs to re-does ya searching.... here's a post you've conveniently missed only... um one day ago... where Alex 8.5 remarked "Yes I have a problem with this. I consider Bush in the same league as Hitler."
In case your search functionality missed it, let me point you: http://www.lpsg.org/78052-g-w-bush-voted-one-8.html#post1297581
faceking said:C> here's another one... you also missed. pavement calling Ann Coulter , well here you go: "Mrs. Hilter should be put out to pasture already."
Hilter people... Hilter - that's a racial issue and they are comparing Hillary to Hitler. I don't see the outrage about race with Hitler and Hillary.

I think you are actually wrong... I think American men are against Hillary because it's Hillary. She's a fake, has little experience, wrong on many issues, etc... Personally, if you say "you have to have a female president"... give me Condy, DiFi, late Ann Richards, etc...".
I think it's folly to assume if you are against Obama, you are a racist, if you are against Hillary you are a male chauvinist.

Yeah, you are right, it's folly to assume that most black people are voting for Obama (only .002% as of today). This presidential race is not about race for anyone. Even are dear teacher and mentor, Oprah, based her public endorsement strictly on Obama's political ideas. Before, she just didn't want to support anybody publicly. It's very unlikely that race or gender will have any bearing on the who's elected. Yeah, gotcha!
All, by the way, the majority of white democratic men love Hillary, but a lot of white democratic women hate her. You're right: gender is playing no role.
