This looking at everything in terms of race and sex is getting very very very tiresome.

Add another "very" from me to that list. I feel like I've been sick of it forever, and it just keeps going.

yup your seems to be a common view among the rational people..

but there are people who cannot see the world with out looking through the filter of sex and race. Sometimes that is because personal trauma has over sensitized them to the issue, sometimes its just because the person is bigoted..

ehhh whateve (shrug)

oh, but remember, we are getting nearly all of this thru the MSM, who are now hard-wired to tell super-simple stories as crassly as they can, because they *think* it's the only way to make money.

If you leave the MSM behind, then the sexism/racism stuff gets a lot less intense, and you can see the forest for the trees.

That said, I think Geraldine has just shown how completely out of touch she is, and since her national political career was already effectively dead, I'd say all that will happen is she will be even more alone the further she goes down her bitter road... Let's just hope Hillary doesn't do the same thing.

MSM.....????
I keep hearing this term...I get the feeling it's some kind of air america term for mega media spin machine...

but I'm just guessing, i suppose i could google...

actually my feeling about the sexisim racism actually comes from person one on one interaction...

I think it might be because almost all of my client are women...But I hear several times a day how clinton's only problem is the institutional sexism...

god that gets old

I don't disagree with you. But I do want to point out the additional, ridiculous nature of NOW endorsing Bill in the '90s. Especially, given his history with women.

I sees your point...

politics is politics and some times groups endorse the least of two evils..etc

but seriously the two democratic candidates and their supporters trying to paint each other as sexist or racist has gotten very old.

It's like damn people, perhaps you should talk about the differences in your foreign policy, economic or healthcare plans...Naaaah

lets just call names and piss each other off.
