Anti-Clinton YouTube Video Attacks Hillary's Gender

Tuesday May 20, 2008
Yesterday in her blog Wired Pen, Kathy Gill admits she's feeling guilty about something she didn't do:
I’m ashamed to admit this, but last week I heard two FM Seattle DJs (102.5) laughing about and dissing Hillary Clinton in the most misogynist of terms … and I did nothing but yell at the radio in the truck and change stations. I should have picked up my cellphone and called, giving them a piece of my mind. Criticize Clinton’s politics if you feel like it (I do, for example, I think her gas-tax proposal is ill-advised pandering), but criticize the policy, don’t personally attack the woman.
To make up in part for her silence, Gill includes a link to a YouTube video which shows many, many examples of anti-Clinton items that attack her on gender alone. Not the politics, but the gender.

If I had a dollar for every time the label 'bitch' was associated with her....

Many good things have happened for women as a result of her candidacy. But as this video shows, we still have a long way to go.

Ms. Clinton is a big crybaby, a sissy, even some women journalists have called her a sissy recently. Why? Because she is playing the gender card all the time and acting like a whiny little crybaby. She was the first female presidential candidate and she turns the race into whining like a little crybaby. Pathetic. No wonder even many women don’t trust a female president. First thing out of the box and they show they are crybabies.

Hillary is a whiny crybaby who likes to play the gender card. If she can’t take the heat then she should stay out of politics.

Yes you have a VERY long way to go…. You women aren’t even playing to your strengths anymore. You could have beat the heck out of barak if you would have used your God given strenths as a woman. But NO you libs have to all act like a bunch of men, “i am strong hear me roar”. Women can manipulate into anything- your born with the gift… You will never become president until you know how to win being a woman, not a woman dressed up like a man. You can get all mad about this but the fact is, every woman that has got what she wanted from me manipulated (in her own way ;) , Its our only weakness. We will never actually “CHOOSE” a woman as president, but we sure could be lured -
