A Jab at Hillary? Sexism? My post on "Why is this still allowed if everyone wants equality for all"? makes this example below and of BAA's comment perfectly clear. Would you want it removed if something similar came from a Black or Brown or oriental?  You probably wouldn't even bring it up.

This is perfectly clear why no "political correctness" of "Black power" chantings or  "proud Latino" or references to Blacks in a derogatory way publications should be allowed.

Thanks for proving my point of the whole thing.

Because also to Phaedrus, this was not a threat to me. This was not a threat to Blacks what BAA said. .This is also the principle of the thing. How sweet it is!

 Obama's 3 AM Text Message: Jab at Hillary?
     Barack Obama didn't pick Hillary Clinton as his running mate. No surprise here. But the timing of his announcement -- early Saturday morning at 3 a.m. -- has some in the Clinton camp downright angry. The tea leaves have been clear: Obama was not going to pick Hillary. In a slap in her face, Obama announced that he was making her fired campaign manager, Patti Solis Doyle, as the chief of staff for his new running mate.

     Obama had claimed he was vetting Hillary for the job and that she was on the short list of his potential picks. But that charade became apparent when he never asked her for financial or other documents typical of the vetting process.

Some in the press saw another Obama jab at Hillary when his campaign released the text message to cell phone users announcing the Biden pick at about 3 a.m. Saturday morning.

     It was Hilary's campaign that aired a TV commercial questioning whether Obama could answer the phone at "3 a.m." if some crisis erupted in the world.

Hillary has taken these hits from Obama with grace. She issued a statement via her email list Satuday congratulating Biden.

    
     "Joe is a friend and colleague, a strong experienced leader and a devoted public servant. I look forward to not only seeing him in Denver next week but on the trail as I work to help Barack Obama and Joe Biden along with many other Democratic candidates campaign this fall."

June,

It is much, much better to let these kind of people expose themselves, for what the really are, so that we (collectively) can see what we are really up against.

I'm not surprised, Elsie, that, as usual, you miss the point.  Though you customarily bring up the rear, I consider you as the vanguard of low-info voters here at VoA - and what amazes me is that you haven't disappeared into your navel .

Disagree, Adam - being subjected to their banality day after day is one thing, being subjected to clearly intended racial slurs by anonymous contributors is quite another. 

It does none of us any good, including VoNA, to be associated those types - they're not here to promote discussion.

they're not here to promote discussion.

Few are here to promote discussion, most are here to promote an agenda or post their 'opinions'.

I would better like to know the difference by challanging those, as I do now, than to drive them underground and think delusionally that they are all gone.

Boohoo!   Moron told people to STFU! That was acceptable to you and AZ Moderate; where was the censor, June??? huh???  How about name calling in every comment that you and AZ moderate put out?? How about being disrespectful to everyone who doesn't agree with you?  Calling them "boy"? huh??  How about you and AZ Moderate judging  people, by YOUR standards, which are pretty low?? huh? Clean up your act first!!!  You should be ashamped of yourself, the biggest hypocrit on the site!!!!

My goodness My 2 Cents.  Did we fall out of bed on the wrong side today? 

I don’t recall calling you names.  I refer to Average American as Double A, and have never detected any problem on his part with that.  Now Willyum is an exception I have to admit, but out of respect for each contributor’s choice I try to use their full moniker rather than something else, whether it be cute, funny or insulting.

Now Double A has never objected to that name.  How would it be if I henceforth and forthwith unto your exodus on this site I call you “Small Change”?  Would that be OK with you my friend?  I’ll assume it is OK with you unless you object in writing here at VofA. 

Hope you didn’t bump your head

This morning when you fell out of bed.

Perhaps you should crawl back in the sack

After your uncalled for and laughable attack,

lie there for awhile to simmer down,

then get out of your nighty gown

and roll out on the other side

to ponder how you lied. 

Burma Shave.

Oh yes, and bad MoronInCharge.  Bad bad bad boy.  STFU?!?  Tsk tsk. 

But wait Small Change – it seems to me someone else started that.  And is that a racial slur?  What the heck is STFU anyway??  Could you clarify that for me my friend? 

And you mentioned censored.  Speaking of that, have you seen anything by MoronInCharge for some time now?  Did you go and censor him Small Change??

Oh, and thanks.  Do I get the gold medal or something now that you have judged me to be “The biggest hypocrite on the site”.  I appreciate your decision in my favor.   I just never win anything - at least until now. 

Keep up the good work my friend.

Lib and Con, your comment is a bit murky.  Are you quoting someone else under “Obama's 3 AM Text Message: Jab at Hillary?”, or is that you?  If it is not you, where is the attribution to the author?  

That is confusing.  I’m sure you did not mean to mislead – or plagiarize another writer, but it is confusing.  

Could you clarify that point please?

Keep on jabbing my friend.
