Does Our Current Romance With Hillary Mean An Easier Path for Her in 2016?

Anita Finlay, principle contributor to EPIC TIMES.

"Sexism, ageism or any “ism” are but tools in an effective arsenal a corporate media has at its disposal, ready to fire at an inconvenient candidate. If it decided that it is “her turn,” that is a different story, but if a new, hot flavor of the month emerges, this will be an instant replay. Some may disagree that the bulk of mainstream media functions as a monolithic block, but whether the behavior is the result of a feeding frenzy started by one network and trumped by the next, or whether marching orders are coming down from on high, which in this era of vertical ownership is entirely possible, the result is the same: a narrative that defines the candidate in order to overwhelm and undermine the reality of his or her record."

"We Saw Your Boobs" at the Oscars - Seth McFarlane's Sexism, Biying Satire or Both?

"...First among the musical numbers that were lambasted was McFarlane singing “We Saw Your Boobs” to the most prominent and award-winning actresses in Hollywood...By performing this déclassé sketch, wasn’t Mr. McFarlane shining a bright line on the prurient attitude that we regularly complain of in the entertainment industry – and in fact, by the media as a whole?

“Now They Wish They Had Hillary” on No Quarter

WaPo’s Richard Cohen reported Tuesday that “Obama has lost the Hamptoms.” According to Cohen, the literati and successful liberals who frequent the East Coast summer getaway have all given up defending the President. Even the NY Times’ Frank Rich has stopped his cheerleading. Actor Robert Redford is wondering “what the President believes in” since he has rolled back environmental legislation to less than Bush-ian levels.

“The Year That Broke My Heart” from Uppity Woman

Prior to 2008, I had never given more than $25 to any political candidate.  After the Iowa caucuses, when every pundit figuratively strung Hillary up by her “unpleasant ankles,” a dear friend called to ask, “Is our girl in trouble?” 

“With Deepest Thanks to Rush Limbaugh…The Mirror Image of Maher, Matthews and the Leftie Boyz” from Uppity Woman

The man who once said that Hillary Clinton had a “testicle lockbox,” and called her a “Femi-Nazi,” may finally have stepped in it in such a way that he did every woman in this country a favor…His tasteless and horrid comments about Georgetown law student Sandra Fluke, calling her a “slut” and a “prostitute,” seem to have struck a deeper chord than these matters typically do.
