sick of....

Hearing women who call themselves feminists bitching about Obama as if he's the biggest misogynist on the planet.

I'm not saying the guy is perfect, but he's a far cry from being A Big Evil Sexist Man.

yeah, other than the "sweetie" thing, I'm hardpressed to think of anything particularly sexist, not to mention outright misogynistic, that the man's done. and that "periodically... when she's down..." bullshit just smacks of reaching to validate preexisting claims. it's just... ugh.

I just listened to a long rant from a new neighbor (I just moved) about how evil Obama is, and how she's not going to vote, and all these awful "machinations" that are going on w/ Obama...oh, and how HE played the race card and keeps playing it and is making black people she knows upset (because the black people she knows must have the authority on when the race card is or is not being played). She was so unreasonable it started to scare me a little. ;

At first it was just fun to disagree with her and watch her flail, then it got to be annoying, and then I just wanted to slap her in the face w/ my mail (since we were near the mailboxes). All the while she was bitching about him she was twisting the bag of steaming doggie poo she'd just picked up and I kept hoping it'd break on her.

Yes, sometimes I'm evil.

I was at work this afternoon (at the mental health job, not the university job) and one of my friends/co-workers was telling me about how she'd bore witness to a conversation just down the hall between two employees who were, in all earnestness, discussing that Obama is the anti-christ

Oh lord, not another group of people who want to kill the poor guy.

I feel really bad for him, I'll be genuinely amazed if he survives much longer. :(

People seem to be grasping at straws, trying to find something bad to pin on Obama! Too bad the dog poo didn't explode on your neighbor!

Seriously? What kind of things are they bitching about? Is any of it even remotely justified or is it just taken waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay out of context in order to find something to condemn him with?

There is too many cross currants going on here. You have race, gender, old vs. young. McCain is going to blunder into the White House; i can feel it. I heard George Stephanopolis(sp?) this morning and the way he phrased it was different; he said something like "Should McCain win the White House..." it seemed more of a possibility than i've heard said before.
