Comments on: Robin Morgan tells young feminist Obama supporters we’re scaredy-cat bimbos http://pandagon.blogsome.com/2008/02/06/6697/ Just another WordPress weblog Sat, 11 Feb 2012 14:38:40 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=1.5.1-alpha by: Duscany http://pandagon.blogsome.com/2008/02/06/6697/#comment-504057 Fri, 28 Mar 2008 18:00:38 +0000 http://pandagon.blogsome.com/2008/02/06/6697/#comment-504057 "The short-sighted willingness to push the lie that Obama is “inexperienced”, much less arrogant and ignorant, makes me crazy. Thanks for giving the McCain campaign their narrative in the general, should Obama win! It’s vaguely racist to say these things (see: the long tradition of trying to discredit black leaders by casting suspicion on their qualifications, such as the way that racists obsess over MLK’s doctorate’s legitimacy), and certainly banking on the fact that Obama looks younger than he is. His extensive experience that qualifies him for the job—including more years as a politician than Clinton—is readily available." I forget. What was it that Obama accomplished as a senator? “The short-sighted willingness to push the lie that Obama is “inexperienced”, much less arrogant and ignorant, makes me crazy.

You said: "Has Obama ever even competed with a republican candidate?" and my response was neither did Clinton in NY. Please don't change the goalposts. I don't buy the "ruthless" Hillary meme since the Republicans were able to shut down Bill's presidency and impeach him. Both he and Hillary were stymied. Amanda, great article.

Plus 8 in the White House, that makes 20. Experience in the Academia is not experience in politics. Comparing the two is disingenuous at best. Chester- she was First lady in Arkansas for 12 years.

Obama was in the Illinois senate before Congress, starting since 1997, and Hillary was first lady for 8 years. soopermouse, Hillary also never really faced a strong republican candidate in NY either after being handed the nomination by the NY Democratic machine.
