This is bullshit and you know it. So, if I’m critical of HRC’s record on mass incarceration, trade, drone strikes, Libya, the economy, civil liberties (DOMA?)—all substantive issues in which the garden variety progressive might take exception with her ACTUAL RECORD (not just soundbytes)...it’s because they’re sexists?…

Arthur Chu wrote a really good essay that talked about this for The Daily Beast:

Yes, and having a black kid dance around a watermelon with a bucket of cluck in his hand is merely a joke to highlight the problems with agriculture in the South.

It was a response to people claiming that he was running an openly sexist campaign, not an unbidden brag. Nobody’s looking for cookies.

I think Streep has a very dry and coy sense of humour. And what does one thing have to do with another?
