I thought the t-shirts were targeting both of them. You know a Black or a Woman a Bro or a Ho not the standard white guy of the Republicans. We should both be offended not either or?

I'm sure Hillary would get the same pass if she'd refer to a young african-american reporter as "boy." In the current PC climate, racism trumps sexism. It's not even close.

Uh, it says "before" not "or." Besides, Obama has referred to himself as a "brother." Has Hillary ever referred to herself as a "ho?"

I figured out a nice response. Ask the designer of the t-shirt and if you can trace it back to a sinister left wing organization operating out of the Obama basement then go for it.

Everyone I think is posting that it is wrong and not the fault of either campaign.

The whole thing just cracks me up.

Cynthia Ruccia is from Ohio. Here is an Ohio blogger who, in commenting about C and her group, points out why it's a really bad idea for women with C's concerns to support McCain:
88-year-old (yes that's EIGHTY-EIGHT) John Paul Stevens is all that stands in the way of a Supreme Court majority in favor of overturning Roe v. Wade. If the Republicans get to nominate Stevens' replacement (it's widely been rumored he's been holding out on the court hoping a Democrat will be elected in 2008) then we will have a Supreme Court majority in favor of overturning Roe v. Wade. It's really that simple.

Not only that, but we will presumably also have a majority in favor of overturning Griswold v. Connecticut, upon whose reasoning Roe v. Wade was based. Griswold gives unmarried women the right to take contraceptives.

More Cynthia, from 1996: THE BAITING GAME - TIME
I don't know if anyone has any documentation on Supreme Court Justice nominations that have not passed Congress. This is why this issue is important. Whoever is President will have the power, so to speak, to nominate a Justice, and the likelyhood of Congress rejecting the nomination is very slim, IMO.

I have always wondered how the feminist wing of Clinton supporters reconciled their beliefs with Mr. Clinton's behavior. Should that have been something they had to deal with or are they consistent?
