Before it was "Bernie Bros" it was "Obama Boys"

Everything old is new again when it comes to both the Clinton camp and the media.

From 2008:

Hey, Obama boys: Back off already!
Young women are growing increasingly frustrated with the fanatical support of Barack and gleeful bashing of Hillary.
Rebecca Traister

Dana Lossia, a 29-year-old labor lawyer in Brooklyn, describes herself as a “pretty big Obama supporter. ” She worked for a year at Michelle Obama’s Public Allies Chicago, where she met Barack a few times. She called him “the most inspiring, amazing person, a different kind of politician.” Of Hillary Clinton, whom Lossia supported in her Senate runs, Lossia said, “I just think she’s acted badly during this campaign.”

And yet, as Lossia wrote in a recent e-mail, “I’ve been really bothered by what I perceive as sexism [among some male Obama supporters] and have spent hours defending [Clinton] … A lot of guys just can’t stand Hillary, and it’s the intensity of their irritation with her that disturbs me more than their devotion to Obama.”

This riveting Democratic primary campaign has provided us with its own stock characters: There are the young “Daily Show”-watching Obama-maniacs getting over their irony addiction by falling earnestly in love with the senator from Illinois. There are the pissed-off second-wave feminists, uptight and out of touch, howling as their dream of seeing a woman in the Oval Office fades. And then there are the young women caught between them.

According to the media script, these cool young customers have embodied their elders’ worst nightmare of a generation that takes feminism‘s victories for granted by throwing over Hillary Clinton for her challenger faster than you can say “I’ve got a crush on Obama.” These young women are way over feminism, we’re told, and perceive gender bias to be an antiquated notion. They are embarrassed and annoyed by the public entreaties of warhorses like Gloria Steinem and Robin Morgan. Pressure from their forebears only serves to alienate them from the second wave and drive them further into the disheveled embrace of the “Yes We Can!” dude down the block.

1. EXACTLY same playbook. 2 things you can say about Hillary

She never gives up on a failed strategy

and

She severely lacks imagination.

[FlatBaroque]

3. Bureaucrats do not require imagination

and she cannot formulate strategy, she can only deploy tactics that she is advised to do by some very disgusting and vile people, like Podesta, Brock, et al

[FreakinDJ]

4. and severely lacks integrity

[Kip Humphrey]

5. ok,ok,ok... THREE things you can say about Hillary regarding this ploy. Good catch!

[Senator Tankerbell]

2. It's worse this time.

The word 'bro' has become synonymous with 'asshole'. Calling someone a bro is just a cute way of calling someone an asshole. It's true that some people are rude towards Hillary and her supporters online but the way Hilary's campaign is trying to generalize that to include anyone who criticizes Hillary for any reason is really old-fashioned politics. It's disingenuous and just gross.

6. This is why Warren should have run...

Hillary's people have repeatedly played the sexism and racism cards against the old white guy. I don't think they would be able to do either against a woman, especially a woman who is highly respected by many of Hillary's supporters. There is no one in Congress more liberal than Sanders and yet he is being attacked on these issues, which is ridiculous. Why the fuck should liberals just forget it and allow this smear campaign to be swept under the rug?
