Roger Stone's Latest Endeavor...

...Now that he's no longer on the Senate GOP payroll, is an anti-Hillary 527 that goes by the not-so-creative name of Citizens United Not Timid (you figure it out) that has an eye-catching logo (yours on a T-shirt for just......

How is "iron my shirt" funny but "pick my cotton" is not funny. Of course it's the same thing. They are both disrespectful and very hurtful. It's sad how people in the U.S. think other countries are third world and backwards, yet those countries are the ones who have women leaders. Eh...

Other candidates are planning to get in on this ingenious roust for free publicity etc. I mean why can't others bring in their own plants?

Huckabee is considering: Fleece My Flock

Obama is considering: Pick My Cotton

I guess in the end only the Clinton's could get away with such a sleazy social class warfare stunt such as these. Their sensibility is non-existent and to think this is anything other is ludicrous.

"What if the sign was at an Obama event and read, "Pick my cotton."?" Seriously, that is not the same nor would that be funny. Yelling "iron my shirt" to Hillary hits me as funny on many levels.

For the record I thought this stunt wasn't funny. Reminds me of a womans protest a few years back where some guy stood close but behind the women protesters with at sign that said "iron my shirt bitch". I didn't laugh that much at that one either. Anyhow, "Ironing shirts is so Sixty's. hasn't Mrs. Clinton very heard of permapress?"....DUDE???

An obviously transparent campaign stunt by the Hillary folks!

Hillary's campaign is being treated by the media like some sort of celebrity gossip column. I'm not saying its all her fault, but she hasn't fleshed out extensive policy proposals like Obama has.

Piss off, SJR. I can't believe after all this time on the Internet that people can still be so daft as to be offensive. I'm not a Clinton supporter, but as noted here the supposed tears moment had no such thing, and was certainly not a tantrum. Your ridiculous try to co-opt movements of tolerance against themselves are sickeningly transparent.

yes, sexism is alive and well. although its hillary being the sexist one.

Think about it for a moment. she supposedly has so many supporters to rally to her aid. where were those supporters when she needed the votes?

when she came in third, she cried up a river blaming everybody, and everything but the sun. just like a little spoiled child.

who wants some one to lead the country that tosses a tantrum like that, and that quickly for that matter.

she may of well laid on her tummy and kicked her fist and feet on the floor over and over while holding her breath.

it was a nice touch how the biased article associated the men preforming freedom of speech with a murderer Oswald. That was sexism at its finest. Portraying non violent men expressing freedom of speech as serial killers.

So yes, sexism is alive and well. but most of the sexism is directed towards men from women. And ironically, if a man speaks up about it, he is just ridiculed and told that its supposed to just be accepted when a woman does this towards a man.

Thats what slave owners said to their slaves too keep in mind.

These guys were on the air in Atlanta previously, where I live, and they were the first people I thought of when I saw this post. They actually pulled an identical stunt a few years ago when the Masters was being protested for not allowing female members. It's juvenile but very much par for the course.

Ironing shirts is so Sixty's. hasn't Mrs. Clinton very heard of permapress?

If I grant that the United States not as non-sexisty as almost all of us would desire, how is our country blantantly sexist? As compared to whom? Dare say that no other country can as non-sexist as the United States and yet be functional. That iu to say, we are about as non-sexist as we can get without further departures from reality.

Men and women are different. Those who ignore this fact do so at their own peril.

No doubt some pretty blatant sexism still exists out there. Thare are both people that won't vote for Hillary because she's a woman, and people that will vote for her because she is the first viable woman candidate. No existing campaign would sponsor this as it is obvious it has more probability of backfiring and helping Hillary. Also Hillary's campaign probably wouldn't resort to this as discovery of a 'staged' incident would backfire bigtime as well. At least it would be a sign of desparation within her campaign. Most likely cause is some independent wacko's as you already indicated.
