   “I do believe I see Elizabeth Cady Stanton’s photograph in this strip. Darrin”

   Not surprisingly, you saw something that wasn’t there. Just like the “sexism” you supposedly saw coming from Obama and his campaign. I didn’t see any coming from them. Saying she’s “likeable enough” wasn’t sexist. Explain how that was sexist or misogynist. And how on earth is it “sexist” for him to say “periodically, when Senator Clinton gets down…” Contrary to your dirty mind, that’s about DANCING. Was he sexist when he talked about himself “getting down” on the Ellen show?

   I’ll give you that some in the Media were sexist, but so what? What’s that have to do with Obama? You “guilt by association” (and even “guilt without association”) types make my ovaries hurt. The racism coming from some in the Media was just as pervasive, but you didn’t catch Obama supporters (not that I saw, anyway) blaming Hillary for it. That said, Keith Olbermann saying to take her out to the back room and only one of them coming back wasn’t even sexist. It would have been, if not for the fact he’s said the same, and even much worse, should happen to Dick Cheney, Alberto Gonzalez, and George W. Bush. Was he also “sexist” when he joked that THEY should be beaten?

   And blaming Obama for what some supporters wore? My God, did you see the racist crap some Hillary supporters wore and said? If you did, I’m sure that was just fine with you, and in no way would you ever blame Hillary for how some random supporters behaved. But when it comes to Obama, every gender-based slight, real or (mostly) imagined against Hillary, no matter where it came from, was Obama’s fault.

   You people who imagine this stuff and bitterly point fingers at men, who must be evil since they have testicles, give us all a bad name, and I wish you’d just wake up and realize it’s mostly in your head. This trumped up outrage based on nothing reminds me so much of the cult-mentality women’s studies classes I took in college. God, I wish I could get those years back.

   I do believe I see Elizabeth Cady Stanton’s photograph in this strip. Darrin, I realize that you probably thought you needed to include your “quota” of women, but if you really think that Elizabeth Cady Stanton, or any other founders of the Womens’ Rights Movement, would be supporting Barack Obama, you have flipped your lid. After the misogyny and sexism unleashed by Barack Obama, the Obamedia, and his supporters (Hillary Clinton’s likeness as a nutcracker, Tucker Carlson’s “crossing his legs” at the mere mention of Hillary Clinton, Keith Olbermann wanting someone to take Hillary Clinton into a back room and “only one of them will come out”, the “Sarah Palin is a CUNT” t-shirt, Obama’s calling a reporter “sweetie”, Obama telling Hillary she was “likeable enough”, Obama giving Hillary the finger, Obama saying that “periodically, when Senator Clinton gets down…”, on and on and on), there’s no way in hell that any respectable woman could support this fraud. May the spirits of Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Susan B. Anthony, and Alice Paul haunt you all for the rest of your lives.
