  • Who said, "Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer"

    I agree that during the campaign she was remarkably racist and sexist. Both are incredibly manipulative. She is fantasic at what she does though, and brilliant. I think a lot of the abuse they ground through from the a holes of the GOP all those years made them who they are. They had to adopt an ''if you can't beat em, join em.'' I do love them ...

  • Re: I don't really see the big deal

    I agree...I think it's a non-issue (me-Independant voter, not rich...). In fact, I think Slate is showing their political cards by having an article on this. These kind of articles are what justify the FOX news watchers (my mother!) into labeling the media the 'liberal elite'. On top of the fact, it's sexist. I haven't heard anything reported ...

  • White Democrat racism, you mean.

    While the author mentions only ''whites'' without mention of party affiliation, this article is dripping with contempt for McCain and therefore scapegoats some kind of Republican Party, Right-wing conspiracy to suppress a candidate of color. But voter rolls indicate there are more Democrats than Republicans (by no small margin), which means the ...

  • The Spite Vote

    I enjoyed your article and found many points you made to be right on the money. In particular, I find the attitude of disgruntled Clinton supporters who say they won't vote for Obama to be ridiculous and thick with irony. Their displaced anger and willingness to cut off their nose to spite their face in the name of battling sexism is laughable. ...

  • How can murder be "moral"?

    I don't understand where there is ''morality'' in abortion. Even if you can somehow muster up an excuse for the murder of the unborn, but where is the morality here? I can never understand why this is called ''a mothers right to choose'' - who has a right to choose someone ELSE'S life? That the baby is safely within the mother's womb gives the ...

  • I'm a Black Clinton Supporter...

    and I will not vote for Obama. After the 2004 election, I decided that I had had enough of holding my nose and voting for a candidate I did not genuinely support. Sen. Obama may say he has similar policy positions as Sen. Clinton, but I am thoroughly unimpressed with him. I cannot stomach his saccharine speeches about ''hope,'' ''change,'' ...
