Some racist anti-Obama Feminist-Clintonites see every attack on Hillary as a sexist plot against women and demean everything about the black male candidate, who they do not even acknowledge winning any primary or being ahead in polls and delegate counts. In their Clinton fairyland, Hillary has been a great champion of women, children and the poor (despite selling out women and the poor by supporting conservative "welfare reform" in the 1990s), and has more "experience" than the black man (despite a pretty unaccomplished 2 terms in the U.S. Senate), and will be a stronger candidate against the right-wing smear machine (even though the right-wing has had no problem taking her on and pushing her around for 30 years).
Here are a few examples of the hypocrisy of the TN Guerilla Women: They accuse Obama of plagiarizing Clinton's economic plan, even though it was Hillary Clinton who copied John Edwards healthcare plan, and both candidates have been "copying" John Edwards' populist message, and Obama's economic plan is more progressive than Hillary, who still supports NAFTA and "free trade" which has hurt American labor! They hail HRC's commitment to "universal health care", even though she caved into the insurance companies and her conservative critiques when she was charged with pushing Bill Clinton's healthcare paln. The one "accoplishment" HIllary Clinton had on healthcare, her "number one" issue as a total failure!
They accuse Obama of being all talk and no substance (like MLK?), and claim he lacks the "experience" of Hillary Clinton. Can they name any progressive legislation Hillary Clinton has helped pass in her two terms in the U.S. Senate? What foreign policy experience does Hillary Clinton have other than traveling to countries as First Lady? None. They twist every comment Obama makes about Hillary Clinton into some "sexist" attack on women, while ignoring their own racist demeaning of another "charismatic" black man. They accuse Obama of being too "bipartisan" and willing to compromise with Republicans, and ignore the whole Clinton "triangulation" strategy, promoted by Hillary Clinton and her ex-pal Dick Morris, to "steal" Republican issues (i.e., "welfare reform," ending "big government", etc.). They ignore the continuing strategy of Hillary Clinton, starting with the support of the Iraq War, to run to the RIGHT in the general election and "triangulate" her way back into the White House.
I could go on and on, but you see why I no longer bother with that racist, sexist blog!
In the world of political reality, as feminist Barbara Enhrenriech explains,Obama is Unstoppable because he is the more progressive, popular candidate who can create real change in American politics, while Hillary Clinton is part of a dying political machine that cannot embrace change or hope.

Thank you for pointing out the hypocracy of these so-called "progressive" gorilla women.
Had I not already decided to support Obama, the way those girls are acting would be enough to make me rethink any support I may have had of Senator Clinton's candidacy.
There was a time I thought the Gorilla Women of Tennessee had a pretty good blog but they have, since Hillary's campaign tanked, just lost it.
Like you, I wont be visiting their blog again.
Well, I take that back. The night Obama gets the nomination I may go there once again just to enjoy the show.
THANK YOU!
I've said it from the beginning: Hilary Clinton is just another Washington beltway insider, and the only thing 'radical' or 'different' is she doesn't have a penis. Electing a woman for president solely on the basis that she's a woman is just embracing temporary novelty. It's the ability to go 'yay, look how far america's come, big hugs :D' Obama, on the other hand, doesn't tout his race as his major playing card to get elected. He legitimately wants to change how the whole system works.
