Hillbot Heckled by Sexist Pigs
Now, Mari isn’t a radical feminist, and Mari doesn’t like Hillbot, but Mari was still offended by this:
SCREAMING male protesters told US presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton to “iron my shirt” at a rally in the all-important primary state of New Hampshire.
Senator Clinton, running to become the US’s first female president, laughed off the protest suggesting a woman’s place is doing laundry and not running the country.
“Ah, the remnants of sexism - alive and well,” Senator Clinton said to applause, the Associated Press reported.
The two men were removed from the auditorium after raising a pair of signs that said, “Iron my shirt!” They also shouted the slogan.
Mari’s question is: couldn’t these men think of anything more intelligent to say? Or at least something new? That “Iron My Shirt” one is just about as old and played out as “make me a sandwich” and “get back in the kitchen”. If you’re so smart, much smarter than a woman presumably because you feel a woman isn’t fit to lead a country, then how come you’re using the lamest catchprase available? How come you didn’t think of anything new?
Mari is not voting for Hillbot, the main reason being: up until yesterday, there wasn’t any emotion-enabling code in her programming. Put that aside, Mari’s against her HillaryCare plan. But at least Mari has some respect for her now. Not too much, but some.
What do you think about the “Iron My Shirt” hecklers?
What do you think about Hillary Clinton?
Do you even care about the 2008 US Presidential Elections?

Some people are just so stupid. I agree with you, if you are going to go that route at least come up with something that isn’t so played, that way we can laugh harder at the stupidity. Idiots.
Hilbot…haha, is that what they call her now?
You have to love how Hillary’s funding and ability to be elected in 2006 was due to the campaign contributions of Health Insurance companies, doctors, hospitals, and pharmaceuticals. Is it really any surprise that she’s for fining people if they don’t get health care? But I digress.
While my first reaction is to take major affront at the comments, whether I dislike Clinton or not, I have to step back and analyze this reaction and question whether it was fabricated.
Clinton was accused of planting people in her audience at rallies and having them ask questions that she her aides had already prepared for her in order to allow her to give flowery pretty answers. While her committee firmly denied this, you have to question their integrity. There is no doubt that the question one college student was asked to ask was far too perfectly worded and rehearsed and there is the fact that several people came up separately and after the newsreport to state they too had been asked, and show the paper they were given with the question, or that they had refused.
What I’m trying to get at here is that this woman is very conniving and deceitful, and as Mari mentioned, seemingly without emotion until a (well planned?) tear escaped recently. Given her shady political history I have to question whether or not these two men were deliberately planted in order to generate sympathy for her. Remember, she’s no longer leading the polls and has fallen to third place. She’s desperate.
Ah, and I’m sorry, I’ve ranted in your comments too now. lol
Those men are disgusting. They’re just afraid to allow a woman get the power because it will ruin their ego. It is lame, but honestly, what other phrases are there to say that the woman belongs in the kitchen or as a housewife? If they used other catchphrases, how many other people would get it?
Anyway, as for the voting part, I’m still undecided and I know my primaries are coming up soon. Arg.
@Kiera
Indeed, we need a good hard laugh at some morons like these. The least they could have done was give us that.
That’s what Mari calls her, because Mari has a sneaking half-serious suspicion that she’s actually a robot.
@Joana
So that’s her scheme? Brilliant. Her party tries so hard to distinguish themselves from Republicans when they say
they’re not for big businessLmao, never answer two nearly-identical political questions at once, Mari, but really, they’re all just a bunch of crooks and liars.Mari thought about that, too, but didn’t want to seem like a nutter by posting it, rather, give the chance to someone in the comments to carry the discussion further. Though, Mari does have to admit, this sounds 60% likely to be correct, given her status in the polls.
Ranting in comments is good!
@Maria
Well, if they’re so smart, they could think of something, right?
Mari kinda likes Obama, but hasn’t actually researched anyone’s policies yet or even paid attention to what’s going on besides the headline grabbing articles since the new year.
