Poise or Propaganda?

By Raquel Martin

In today's SOC118 press conference Sen. John McCain was asked if he felt it was sexist not to correct his supporter who referred to Hillary Clinton as a “bitch.” He calmly answered, “I’m not going to change their words, that’s not my place.” I never realized he was such a strong supporter of the first amendment. I only hope he extends the same courtesy to those who call his wife a thief and a drug addict. While he cannot control the words of others, he may want to minimize misogynistic name calling by not acknowledging the question, "so how do we beat the bitch?"

Cripes, that's harsh. And I thought I was harsh. Then again, I think I'm trying to be more sarcastic than harsh.
