Just watched a woman named Linda Stasi on Chris Matthews HardBall. She hurled the most disgusting

"enabler" BS about Hillary and seemed to be shilling for Trump and his checkered marital history. No one called her on her rant. Who is this person? A google search turned up an article she wrote basically victim blaming regarding the San Bernardino killings and a bio note saying she was a liberal Dem. ???? The sexism abounds during this campaign season. Yesterday on CNN there were a group of male pundits discussing how the Hillary campaign/ likely nomination was not at all exciting. I guess its not very exciting for a bunch a white guys who have had every president in history (except one) look like them. Sorry. I just had to rant. I think I need to go outside and put another Hillary bumper sticker on my car.

Try painting Hillary as an "enabler" while Trump cheats on his wives. Or at least one. Mind boggling.

"Linda Stasi (born in New York City, [date unknown]) is a controversial columnist for the New York Daily News. [1] [2] She is married to Sydney Davidoff, who not only was a member of the Nixon administration but also did guest appearance in Hollywood productions, such as the Sopranos.

She doesn't subscribe to the ideas of Occupy Democrats (who believes that Scandinavia is the most accepting) or Bernie Sanders, who says the same things as Occupy Democrats."

better now. It was certainly sad the way not one person on the panel called out Stasi for her remarks. Maybe they just weren't really even listening to her. She seemed alittle disappointed that her disgusting remarks were just met with crickets. Looking for attention maybe.

6. Her comments were awful.

She said Hillary was "married to a bully and stayed quiet." How the hell does she know what happened in private? I would put money on it that Hillary was not quiet. In fact, I recall reading that Hillary thought seriously about divorcing Bill after the Lewinsky affair. I can't stand when reporters think they know what is going on in other peoples' marriages.

the face of all the news media and Republicans piling on. I am sure she did some ass-kicking in private, but I really admired her for the dignified way she carried herself. I have heard people say that she had to have known all along what Bill was doing. I totally disagree. I remember the look on her face as she was walking with Chelsea and it was obvious how hurt she was. Her approval ratings soared at the time. Kind of disgusting the way these low lifes are putting her down for choosing to keep her family together. I also get so angry when Trump etc. talk about how she was "mean" to Monica. WTF. I guess she was supposed to invite her over for tea and sing Kumbaya.

how many other women out there have faced similar situations with strength and dignity? Most of the vocal women demeaning Hillary for staying with Bill have themselves spouses who have committed adultery known or unknown. And the men out there damning Bill need to go hide their faces. Most men in positions of power are guilty of infidelities and some our most admired were...JFK, FDR, Johnson...even daddy Bush. This is not excusing their behavior but I am not a prude and adultery is not is not something that determines a person's (man or woman) character for me.

10. MSNBC panels include more rightwingers and conservatives than before

MSNBC continues to talk about Trump 95% of the time so I decided last night to stop watching, except Maddow, if it is convenient.
