On the one hand we have Clinton acting as the victim. On the other hand, we have Clinton running by far the more dirty and dishonest campaign and then claiming that Obama supporters can’t take the heat when we complain. It’s not a matter of whether we can take the heat–it’s a matter of principle and what type of behavior we consider to be acceptable from public officials.

Clinton can’t have it both ways. She can’t conduct herself in a matter we find to be reprehensible and totally unacceptable for a candidate for president and then complain that any slight against her is based upon sexism and cannot be tolerated.

The criticism of Keith Olbermann had nothing to do with who he or you votes for. It has everything to do with what images we project are okay for men and women to see and hear--about how you do handle someone with which you don't agree. You don't beat the hell out of a women you don't like or don't agree with. That's all. And to allow that, gives ideas to all others in society, who behind closed doors do just that--beat the hell out of women who mouth off to them or "cackle."  Check the net, there are a lot of sites to teach men how to behave with regards to these issues. It will be difficult, we know, but this is 2008 and the roots of these problems are thousands of years old. You can vote for whoever you want.
