Anybody google image corporate whore lately?

I just realized this is a term that utilized mostly by the far left to characterize mainstream Democratic politicians. You don't see any pictures of repukes popping up.

Obama is third pic of course , Hillary first shows up down a little bit



Of course this guy pops up as well LOL OCCUPY MELBOURNE!

And you know damned well that the term "Corporate Whore" is not gender specific.

But since your mind is made up, why bother.

matter who is using the term, they're a misogynist jackass, even if they purport to be from the left.

I get that people want to mainstream 'whore' whilst Clinton is running for President, but they should really set that impulse aside.

make a non-existent point? Do people call politicians names? Yes, they do. A Google search is going to turn up instances of that.

Such name-calling is crass and rude. There are crass, rude people. I'm sure other searches for rude language directed at Democrats would bring up photos, as well. Try piece of shit used car salesman, for example. That such searches result in the expected images is irrelevant to anything.

I see no point in bringing such things to the attention of DU, frankly. It is something that should be expected to occur. Such searches are a waste of time and produce predictable results.

See, for example, this pile of horseshit.

http://www.salon.com/2000/10/19/mens_choice/

Maybe there is no good answer to the dilemma of male reproductive rights. Still, it is an issue that should prompt us to rethink some deeply held assumptions. It should make us realize that, if men who want a right to be released from their parental obligations seem callously egocentric to many people, that’s how women who want abortion on demand look to many anti-abortion advocates. It should make us ponder the fact that, while paternal desertion is often cited as evidence of male irresponsibility and selfishness, more than a million American women every year walk away from the burdens of motherhood.

Above all, perhaps, the issue of men’s reproductive autonomy brings home the fact that abortion can create a radical imbalance rather than equality between the sexes. For years, women have been sending a mixed message to men: Sometimes we expect them to be full partners in child-rearing, sometimes we treat them as little more than sperm donors, walking cash machines or bystanders. If men’s parental role is to be taken seriously, women need to assume a moral, if not legal, obligation to involve their partners in any decision about pregnancy and we all need to have a serious conversation about men’s reproductive rights — no matter where that conversation may lead.

And I just nexised 'the w word' without corporate so I'm sure that influenced my result.

I poked the first thing that came up for me. I'm not particularly advocating her stance.
