Plenty of right wingers went after Hillary Clinton too. Sexism is a problem in America, period. I saw all of the Republican commentators, Palin included talk about how Hillary Clinton needed to stop complaining about being treated unfairly just to turn around and accuse the leftist media of sexism. I also watched Fox News report the same sexist stories as the more liberal news stations were reporting. I watched over the years as the Right went after her mercilessly. Let's be honest, sexism is a problem on all sides and we all need to call all those guilty parties on their sexist commentary and behaviors. Hold up.

We have. It is post racial. Stop dropping Ivy league neutron bombs on people. Look we have an AA man in the Oval Office. Let's start talking about how when the two women stepped up to the plate they were eviscerated by the liberal left. Sexism has revealed itself. For everyone with a daughter out there - step up and call it out. Every woman has a right to run for the Executive Branch. We are 16% represented in our government and we are 52% of the population. Put that in your pipe and smoke it - and think of your daughters while doing it. Get over it. We have. It is post racial. Stop dropping Ivy league neutron bombs on people.

The presidential election of Nov 4th, 2008 is revealing a division among the electorate which points not to racial harmony or a mitigation of black resentment for prolonged oppression and injustice. The comments I’ve read at various blogs from Obama supporters and opponents suggest that the racial divide and the liberal-conservative divide will be exacerbated once Obama is elected. A reconciliation of the opposing ideologies was never likely but the tension will become more hostile and belligerent after the election. Those who opposed Obama’s candidacy are doing so with a ferocity that will probably not abate. They see his ascension as a betrayal of the nation’s founding principles and a corruption of the relationship between those who govern and those who are governed. If this opposition is energized and organized we may see a country more divided than at any time since the Civil War. Sometimes historical events have unintended consequences.

Because in the eyes of many it's not a black or white issue , it's really about knowing where you came from and knowing how far you can go. this nation has been in turmoil for many years and this election just might be the needed prescription. In my eyes the race is already won!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
