SEXISM????Where are the denouncements of Madeleine Albright's blatantly sexist statements?

She said that there's a "special place in hell" for women who don't support Hillary....
Can you imagine the howls of indignation that would be forthcoming if a prominent male supporter of Sanders said that there was a "special place in hell" for men who don't support Bernie Sanders? Well? is sexism sexism, or does that only apply to people who oppose Hillary Clinton becoming the Democratic nominee?

I won't hold my breath...

Doing women no good.

I'm tired of saying it.

If it was Elizabeth Warren running... I'd happily support her.

Because of the content of Hillary's character not the chromosomes she carries as an coincidence of birth, I oppose her candidacy.

Use Google search on DU to find them.

What tad bit of respect I had for Albright is completely gone.

Glad you've added another thread to keep the subject alive. It is indeed sexism.

I know it isn't over, but this is real bad.

I think she's lost it anyway.
