I will, unsurprisingly, come down on Eric’s side regarding the misogyny. I just don’t see it. I will gladly concede that my “filter” for inputs is quite different than Jill’s, and even that she’s got more “authenticity” when it comes to making claims of misogyny than I do… but I still can’t see it. I’m trying, I am, but it’s just not clicking for me.

I will say this, tho – I can’t wait for this primary to be over so we can all get on the same end of the rope again and pull as a unit. I happen to feel Obama is better on a number of policy issues, but in reality the two candidates aren’t that far apart. Either would be miles better than McCain (and – to agree with Obama – I feel all three would be an improvement on Bush, but that’s not necessarily saying much). We shouldn’t lose sight of that.

Eventually we realized what a blessing it was and how lucky we were. We thought about pressing our luck and striking while the iron was hot and have another child right away. Then we thought better than to press our luck.

What I think would be nice is if YOU would publicly hit the Clinton campaign for using GOP like fear mongering tactics to scare up votes. I don’t expect that’s forthcoming either. I’ll be glad to have you back on my team though. It’s saddened me so to have to bang on ME. Detente is, what? A few weeks away?

As for me not chiding anyone, I think I DID comment on the charges of racism in the Ohio election in comments on Brian’s post about it and elsewhere. There was evidence of it. We disagree. No big. (assuming this is the incident you are speaking of).

Assume you are responding to Joe (#1 above) on the liberal magazine comment.

I don’t agree completely with Russo’s take and plan to comment accordingly a bit later.

Thanks for the congrats! The g diapers are working out great. Now if we could only get the little guy to figure out day and night.

How can New Republic not be capable of engaging in misogyny because it’s a liberal magazine (the DLC’s Pravada is now liberal?), but Clinton is a racist for every attack or criticism of Obama?

Even Russo characterizes the whole thing as Hillary as the nagging wife, and yet, somehow says that’s not misogynst because it plays to a “true stereotype.”

On an unrelated note, belated congrats Eric on the baby. Thanks for the post on the environmentally friendly diaper post. Wish I had known about it nine months ago.
