I'm not a natural supporter, but the degree of vilification she has been subjected to reminds me of the pathological misogyny of the notorious witch-finders' manual, Malleus Maleficarum. Full Story »

In some ways, this story is the other side of the Truthout "Baiting Obama" story, though Obama himself is never accused of misogyny, and Hillary Clinton is accused of inappropriate campaigning against Barack Obama. A few unclear areas: In Pennsylvania, Obama outspent Clinton and narrowed her lead from 26% to 9.4%, so the implication that he made no progress after spending more money is incorrect. And the author's statement that "it may be that racism has gone underground" is grossly inaccurate. Still, it's correct that there are many inappropriate comments directed against Hillary Clinton because she is a woman, and those comments have no place in a reasonable country. We apparently aren't in one.
