RedState calls Clinton a “homely woman” who slept her way into power, ending their nonexistent feminist moment

Donald Trump and his supporters have spent the better part of the past week attacking Fox anchor Megyn Kelly for daring to ask Donald Trump about some of the objectively awful things he’s said to and about women over the years. In response to Trump’s claim that the only reason Kelly would ask such offensive questions is that she “had blood coming out of her…wherever,” RedState editor Erick Erickson disinvited Donald Trump from an event in Atlanta, saying that he wouldn’t stand for that kind of sexism.

Except, of course, he totally has and totally is standing for that kind of sexism.

Earlier today, RedState contributor streiff led off a post on the site’s front page with the following:

If Hillary Clinton possesses any unique selling propostion (sic) beyond proving even a homely woman can sleep her way into power, it is her tenure as Barack Obama’s secretary of state. That seems to be a slender enough reed when polls show the electorate could give a flying rat’s patootie about experience and favor a change agent above all.

At least they had the puritanical sensibility to say “patootie” while being a sexist jackass:

1. Ugh...

And this got posted here why?

2. Why should one even repeat this garbage

Most know this is exactly what the editor of this rag wants is for this to be repeated at every level,that gives this kind of BS legs

3. Right wing sexism against Hillary has always been used,it doesn't have the

effect they think it does.

4. ok, maybe I shouldn't say this in this thread

but Hillary is a good looking woman now and she was gorgeous when young. Aside from the fact that she's very intelligent and accomplished.

5. Well, that's making it personal.

These people just have no mental discipline at all, to say nothing of having any class.

6. I have seen the suggestion here...

I have seen the suggestion here that Hillary Clinton is where she is because she is Mrs. Clinton. The only difference is the tenor and infelicitousness of the Red State blogger's comments.

The tut tutting is amusing though, like so much hypocrisy is.

7. we should know by now

there is nothing these gutless, hypocritical cretins won't say..about anyone. they don't have the gray matter to debte the issues, so they resort to playground style personal insults. pathetic.

ya know, i could say something about the physicality of pretty much any of their candidates, but i won't.

8. Not that I care about her looks, but she isn't homely.

In fact, I saw a picture of her from her days as First Lady the other day and had forgotten how striking she was.



Yes, she's older (so am I and I'm not nearly as striking, now, either. ), but "homely?" No.

11. That head was not born on that body (Massive photoshop). nt

9. Oh, FFS.

10. Say what you will of Hillary

I doubt anyone serious can make the argument she wasn't just as instrumental in building Bill's career as she was her own. I don't consider being an equal and accomplished member in a political partnership to be "sleeping her way to the top." She has worked her butt off to get where she is, and no one can deny that.
