It is some twisted lame ass sexism to make Hillary responsible or have to be punished

[boston bean]

for Harvey Weinsteins sexual assaults.

Even more twisted beyond belief knowing the monster sitting in the white house.

[LisaM]

1. I know; it's awful.

But, to be expected.

[Caliman73]

2. Since when has that stopped anyone...

from blaming women for men's actions, especially if that woman is in a position of power, and ESPECIALLY if that woman's name happens to be Hillary Clinton.

[certainot]

24. this i about ignoring rw radio again. limbaugh leads the chorus blaming bill

and the liberals that 'excused' him, equating weinstien and bill clinton even tho lewinsky was a consenting adult, and then blaming hilalary for 'standing by her man'

that's what limbaugh said this morning and will be repeated by the hundreds of other ignorant lying blowhards on 1500 radio stations.

the absurd part when looking at media more broadly is that trump's loudest defenders are on the radio, which depends on black athletes who play for pro and college teams that bring in advertisers for hundreds of rw radio stations so they can survive.

[smirkymonkey]

3. I agree. Why the hell was Hillary even dragged into this mess?

She had nothing to do with it. This just infuriates me! God, I am so sick of this shit!

[ProudLib72]

4. When will HRC not be a major RW talking point?

In the absence of winning, they just turn to their next favorite thing: bashing Hillary. A hundred years from now, there will be RWers still talking about how HRC should be locked up. Of course, they will be irradiated mutant survivors of Dotard's war living in caves, but that won't be the major talking point.

[Squinch]

10. When the next Democratic woman replaces her. They're not going to stop.

[ProudLib72]

15. You mean like Warren?

They picked on her for a little while. But the continuing Hillary bashing must have something to do with the fact that HRC stood up to Dotard and they see it as him beating her down to where she belongs. Yes, I think that running against Dotard created a fertile field for misogynists to run wild in.

[Squinch]

16. Her opponent heated it up a bit, but it would have been there whoever she ran against.

Never underestimate the hatred that insecure men and the women who love them hold for powerful women.

And never underestimate the numbers of insecure men and the women who love them.

[ProudLib72]

17. We need to keep in mind that Dems are not free from the hate

I really believe the anti-Pelosi crap coming from some of our reps is very much the same thing. Remember, a couple months ago DU got caught up in the divisive rhetoric and there were some who bashed Pelosi.

[Squinch]

18. Absolutely.

[HopeAgain]

20. I think Warren is better suited to handle these attacks

Nothing against Hillary, I just think Warren has a sharper edge for that particular thing.

The next woman will be better prepared, due to the unforeseeable nastiness that Hillary had to endure. To think otherwise would be to believe Hillary went through it all for naught. I refuse to believe that.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

28. Elizabeth has an uncanny ability to fight back... she would kick Donald Dotard's azz!!!

[delisen]

5. Scapegoating women for sleazy actions of men

is a propaganda technique.

to Republicans Hillary Clinton is a stand-in for all women.

[sharedvalues]

6. Yes. See this insane and country-harming CNN page today (Cilizza!!!!)

Link to tweet

[sharedvalues]

7. I missed "Silence of Trump/Bush/McConnell" on Ailes, O'Reilly. Come ON, CNN.

CNN: Infotainment first. Dollars first. If it's bad for the country, who cares? It's good for CNN.

[wryter2000]

13. Is that effing real?

Jesus on a trailer hitch!

[George II]

8. CNN is droning on again right now about it, "she should have known"...yadda yadda....

Pure BS, they barely mentioned Roger Ailes, Bill O'Reilly, et. al.

[spanone]

9. K&R...

[coolsandy]

11. I wish all the women who have accused 45 in the past would step up now and force the country to face

the hypocrisy and double standard they impose upon women, Democrats, and especially HRC. Wasn't it enough to blame Hillary for Bill's bad behavior.

How is it that 45 can escape the fate of Weinstein, Cosby, and others?

[barbtries]

12. it's off the hook

i don't get it. well, on second thought, you nailed it. what i don't get is the irrational continuing need to attack her on both sides. she just does not deserve it.

[bobbieinok]

14. Religious right termed HRC the embodimet of the 'Jezebel spirit'

Jonathan Cahn did it on several Jim Bakker shows you can watch on youtube. He claimed Bill is the embodiment of Jezebel's husband and Trump of the OT leader who saved Israel from the evil pair.

This stuff was preached (and is still being preached) over and over to millions of credulous Evangelicals.

[Blue_true]

19. What is new.

Many of Trump's voters and the far left made her responsible for her husband cheating on her.

[Bettie]

21. No woman anywhere, no man anywhere

is responsible for Harvey Weinstein's actions except Harvey Weinstein.

Period, end of story. He has made his own choices, he has chosen his own actions.

NO one else is responsible for that, only him.

Not Hillary Clinton, Not Barack Obama, just him.

This is one of those things that make me see red.

[dhill926]

23. Yep...

[JoeOtterbein]

22. Good point!

[Miigwech]

25. Don't hate me for this about Bill Clinton

Bill Clinton was a dog, a disgrace, he was an adulterer, cheated on Hillary..... but I don't think he is the definition of sexual abuser or assaulter like O'Reilly, Ailes, Bill Cosby, Weinstein ..... he was a man that (like most men) who come on to women. Inappropriate, yes, but he was a "Romancer", not an assaulter. And ..... Hillary is not responsible for what her husband did!

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

30. Sexual overtures by one's boss in the workplace, by definition, creates a hostile work environment.

It is a clear violation of workers' rights... such behavior should NEVER be tolerated!!

[madaboutharry]

26. She's everyone's no. 1 scapegoat.

[Miigwech]

27. Amen

Hillary had Mount Everest to climb to try to get over what her husband did. All of the Repubs that did worse themselves, Vitter, Trump, et al, men always get the default, rehabilitation card.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

29. I agree with you completely... the question is: what can be done about it?
