In a similar way to how depictions of Muhammad are seen as offensive, MSNBC has suggested that mere mention of the Prophet Hillary (peace be upon her) is a sexist slur.
During radio host Stephanie Millers rant onPolitics Nation with Al Sharptonyesterday, a caption appeared under her which read, HILLARY CLINTON SLAMS GOP CANDIDATES FOR TALKING ABOUT HER.
Is MSNBC seriously pushing the notion that merelytalkingabout Hillary Clinton (presumably in anything other than a fawning, worshipful tone) is somehow offensive or sexist?
The context of Millers spiel suggests that this is exactly what MSNBC was attempting to imply.
What I like as a woman, Rev, is keep playing this age card and this sexist card, were going to have, like, a hundred percent turnout of everyone in the country with a vagina, says Miller, who is presumably satisfied that Clintons presidential attributes need not extend any further than her genitals.
Miller then begs, please take us back to a third Clinton term.
Warnings that leftists would attempt to shut down legitimate criticism of Hillary by invoking sexism, just as dissent against Obama was characterized as racist, have been replete, but that hasnt stopped the likes of MSNBC from doing exactly that. Scrutiny of Clintons email scandalhas also been framed as misogynisticby her supporters.
Last month, pro-Hillary group HRC Super Volunteers told the New York Times that they would beon the lookout for sexist wordsused by the media in reference to Clinton and her campaign.
In exalting Hillary as a champion for women, her cheerleaders have conveniently ignored the fact that the Clinton Foundationtakes money fromsome of the worst womens rights abusers on the planet, including at least $10 million since 2001 from Saudi Arabia, a country thattreats female drivers as terroristsand oversees a system of violence against women, human trafficking and gender discrimination.
