white women,” Morris argued.^155FEMINIST RENEGADES FOR OBAMA
The internet is now replete with women who are eager to recount their sexual fantasies about
Obama. Here we can see some of the pathos which Obama’s cynical handlers and controllers are
determined to exploit in order to seize power:
Have you ever gone through a really dry period sexually? At first you get angry that you’re
being neglected and ignored, and you act out. Then one day you wake up with a sense of
nonchalance and you start to marvel at how much you’re getting done, and how much easier it
is not to care. And then... one day, maybe a stranger comes and begins to romance you and
strokes your hair in a sort of contemplative way, uttering the most delightful insights. He
touches your hand softly and then a little more firmly, awakening the feelings that you thought
you’d left behind, and then you start speaking really poetically and hearing melodies and then
suddenly you WANT IN! You want back in the game and you think ‘spring is here’... YES WE
CAN!’ (Lili Haydn, “Why Obama is Like a Desert Lover,” February 29, 2008)
Although those involved will not appreciate the suggestion, it may well be that these focus
groups and the tactics developed from them have something to do with the failure of many feminist
leaders to honor their most obvious commitment and support Senator Clinton for president, turning
instead to the arch-manipulator Obama. One massive defection by these erstwhile feminists took
place at the beginning of February, and evoked a puff piece from the Huffington web site which
announced:
“New York Feminists for Peace and Barack Obama,” an organization of more than 100 New
York feminist leaders released a joint statement Sunday afternoon criticizing Hillary Clinton
and supporting Obama for president. Clinton’s support for the war in Iraq was the leading
reason she lost the support of the group. Those endorsing Obama include longtime peace
activist Cora Weiss; Katha Pollitt, columnist for The Nation; Pulitzer-prize winning New York
Times writer Margo Jefferson; award-winning women’s rights historians Alice Kessler Harris
and Linda Gordon; Barbara Weinstein, president of the American Historical Association, and
Ellen P. Chapnick, Dean for Social Justice Initiatives at Columbia Law School. Susan Sarandon
and Francis Fox Piven signed on Monday.”MASTERS OF VENOM: THE OBAMA ATTACK MACHINE
It should also be mentioned that female critics of Obama, starting with Senator Clinton, Chelsea
Clinton, and Geraldine Ferraro, have received especially brutal treatment by the Obama aversive
attack apparatus. Here is a testimonial to this effect by the well-known writer and feminist Erica
Jong:
Ever since I wrote an article in the Washington Post ten days ago, I’ve been getting love letters
from women and super-smart men and brickbats from the Hillary-Haters. Unfortunately the
Hillary-Haters are in charge. They monopolize the networks, the newspapers, the talk shows —
both radio and TV. They are crossing their legs for fear of castration. They are wearing the
body armor our troops never got. Or got too late to matter. They are determined that a woman
will not prove herself competent as Commander in Chief. Patriarchy: 1000, Hillary: 0.”^156
