"No Quarter" Finally Has The "Goods" On Obama...

Obama’s Plane Is Stocked With MAXIMum Sexist Magazines

This morning, in her story “Slack Like Me,” Rabble Rouser Reverend Amy introduced you to the New York Times article that depicts the somewhat dilatory (dare we say lazy?) presumptive candidate as far too similar to another infamous slacker, the current POTUS. Tucked away in that NYT article is this tidbit:

He is a careful reader of daily newspapers and magazines (titles from Foreign Affairs to Maxim are stocked on his campaign plane).

Maxim magazine? A title surely chosen to convey the lusty fantasy world its readers dream of — where all the men are big and brawny and where all the women are oiled, tanned, young, curvy supplicants to their all-powerful male rulers. As a woman, it was difficult to endure the rampant sexism during the primaries, including Barack Obama’s own sexist comments about Hillary — “I understand that Senator Clinton, periodically when she’s feeling down, launches attacks as a way of trying to boost her appeal” and “You challenge the status quo and suddenly the claws come out.”

.........

Perhaps, on Father’s Day — instead of preaching in some “safe” church, lecturing other men on how to be better fathers, as his daughters sat silently in the pew (and looked bored out of their minds) — Mr. Obama should have started a small bonfire in his own backyard and burned those remnants of a chauvinistic culture that no father should wish his daughters, those two precious little girls, to have to live in.

........

more :sarcasm: laughs here:

2. They are such a pathetic bunch. Being totally manipulated by Republican plants.
The good news is there are only a couple of people who read that tripe. Oh and my favorite part about the Maxim stuff is that it only says it's on the plane, not that Obama is reading it. A staffer or journalist could have easily brought it on board. Too funny.

And while it's a generally stupid magazine, they do have political articles at times.
A smart campaign keeps track of what's being said in all publications, from The New Yorker to Cosmo.

15. yeah, there're only a couple of people who read that tripe, yet now it's on DU & thousands more can
read it.

Is it really SO important to laugh at this when it'd be far more helpful to just allow it to die alone and forgotten in some dense underbrush?

21. That's what crossed my mind. Shoot, many planes have Maxim on it. British Airways business class
comes to mind.

3. Why doesn't Hillary call the dogs off?
You're telling me she would have no influence with hardcore supporters like LJ? this shit is NOT helpful. I guess LJ is working for Grandpa now.

30. I don't think they care anymore
Someone posted a comment about Sen. Clinton calling for her supporters to support Sen. Obama.

The people at NoQuarter deleted it.

They're even ignoring the wishes of the person they claim to support

4. So Obama has a Maxim, and McCain leaves his wife for a blonde 20 something beer heiress.
I ask you, which is worse...

18. who said "Obama has a Maxim"? And this is the perfect illustration of the stupidity of posting this
crap here.

There was a Maxim on the plane... it was in Obama's hands? It was HIS magazine?

22. It was on the plane. He didn't have it. They said so. The writers are assuming he's the only one
on the plane.

7. How sad.....
Edited on Wed Jun-18-08 12:15 PM by PatGund
First Larry Johnson couldn't deliver the tape he claimed all the media and the GOP had.

And now tripe like this??

Wow. This is a textbook example of how blind, irrational hatred can destroy the hater.

On edit - I also read the tripe about the booing at the Obama / Gore event. How funny they left out the part where Obama chided the booers and complemented Sen. Clinton........ (rolls eyes)

24. Exactly. It's a plane with probably 25 people milling about. Anyone could have brought the mag.

14. Well, now that's interesting.....
When I checked out that blog (ew), I noticed there were a couple comments, one about Sen. Clinton endorsing Sen. Obama and asking people to work together, and another pointing out that Sen. Obama praised Sen. Clinton and chided his supporters that booed her name.

Notice I said "were". Because they're now gone without a trace. Seems that Larry Johnson and his crowd can't handle any truth to contaminate their "OBAMA IS THE DEVIL AND WE MUST VOTE MCCAIN / WRITE IN THE GODDESS OF PEACE'S NAME TO DEFEAT HIM" fairytale.

It's devolved into as much of an echo chamber as Hi44, and more than likely is the same people.

28. I really don't get what Larry Johnson's problem with Obama is.
I know he supported Hillary but at some point you'd think he would resign himself to the fact that Hillary isn't going to the White House this time around. That site has gone to shit.
