Im not even a Hillary supporter, but I find this offensive. If this is what theyre willing to say on national tv, imagine what they say in private.

Her problem is she’s Hillary Clinton. And some women, by the way, are named that and it’s accurate.

That is much less offensive than what people on this forum have called her.

I'm sure all sorts of things are said in back rooms. You know what--that's life in the real world. Who cares if an advisor uses foul language? I only care if the candidate says something like that.

Well,
Ive never heard anyone call her that here or in any liberal circles. Its degrading and totally unacceptable. I have 4 sisters, all younger than me, and whenever I read stuff like this, it reminds of them and how mad I would be if anyone ever called them something so horrible.

Well, we need to change the mentality which dictates that a strong man is good but a strong woman is a @#&*$

And that change needs to start from the top down.

The difference is that the sexist image posted above and wasn't created by a Obama advisor but by some some anonymous *******. There is a world of difference between the two, and you know it.

Maybe Bill can chair a national task force on that. He is good with woman.
