proving yet again that her campaign is completely out of touch with anything even REMOTELY in touch with reality, now she trots out lunatic feminist icon gloria steinem on the campaign trail...in TEXAS???
i wonder how that's working out for the her?
steinem managed to toss scorn at mccain's P.O.W. experience-
Steinem raised McCain’s Vietnam imprisonment as she sought to highlight an alleged gender-based media bias against Clinton.for good measure, she also got in some whining over how people view racism as a more serious problem than sexism.
“Suppose John McCain had been Joan McCain and Joan McCain had got captured, shot down and been a POW for eight years. [The media would ask], ‘What did you do wrong to get captured? What terrible things did you do while you were there as a captive for eight years?’” Steinem said, to laughter from the audience.
McCain was, in fact, a prisoner of war for around five-and-a-half years, during which time he was tortured repeatedly. Referring to his time in captivity, Steinem said with bewilderment, “I mean, hello? This is supposed to be a qualification to be president? I don’t think so.”
Steinem’s broader argument was that the media and the political world are too admiring of militarism in all its guises.
“I am so grateful that she [Clinton] hasn’t been trained to kill anybody. And she probably didn’t even play war games as a kid. It’s a great relief from Bush in his jump suit and from Kerry saluting.”
To the Observer, Steinem insisted that “from George Washington to Jack Kennedy and PT-109 we have behaved as if killing people is a qualification for ruling people.”
... “a majority of Americans want redemption for racism, for our terrible destructive racist past and so see a vote for Obama as redemptive”...“I don’t think as many want redemption for the gynocide.”the "gynocide"???
