Sir Elton John at a campaign event for Sir Hillary Rodham Clinton decried the fact that Sir Hillary was lagging behind in the Democrat primary as clear evidence of a Democrat hatred of women. In fact, he thinks that these Obama supporters should be condemned to the fiery pit for eternity.
[Politico.com] “I never cease to be amazed at the misogynist attitude of some of the people in this country,” he said. “I say to hell with them.”
Hey, I have called Obama supporters worse, so why not add misogynists to the list. I wonder if it ever occurred to Elton that maybe Democrats, and/or Americans in general, just don’t like this particular woman?
Quick question. If you can’t stand Sir Elton John, does that constitute misogyny as well?
For those Obama supporters who may happen to read this —-
mi·sog·y·ny [mi-soj-uh-nee]
noun
hatred, dislike, or mistrust of women.

If Sir Elton likes women so much, then why is he gay?

That’s the winning comment of the day. That one made me laugh out loud.
Paul, I can guarantee you that Pat is upset with himself for not thinking of that joke.

Paul,
Hilarious!!
Patrick,
What do you mean by: “If you can’t stand Sir Elton John, does that constitute misogyny as well?”
Are you calling Sir Elton a woman?
Wouldn’t that be Lady Elton?
These liberals remind me of a bunch of bratty five year olds calling each other names. No class.

… but you gotta love that picture… they look like long-lost sisters!

They’re desperate. Kit

“If Sir Elton likes women so much, then why is he gay?”
Darn, darn, darn!! What a missed opportunity.
Too funny.

He who lives by identity politics, dies by identity politics.
Identity politics has been the meant and potatoes of the Democratic party for years. They tout their candidates, not as individuals, but as a member of some group. If you dislike the member, by extension you dislike the group.
Now we watch the great fun of Democratic primary voters having to choose between whether they are a racist or a mysogynist!
Delicious.

I’m so confused. If I vote for Hillary I’m a racist against Obama.
If I vote for Hillary over Obama I’m a misogynist.
If I vote against McCain I’m an age-ist?
What to do? What to do?
Oh I know. I’ll vote for the least crazy. Which one would that be again?

I guess this is certainly pot calling kettle black.
Strange charge from a man who sings “Bitch”, “All the girls love alice”, and “Dirty Little Girl.” This is the exact charge that has been laid at his feet, or maybe I guess he can blame his lyricist Bernie Taupin instead.
