madharry, >>If I said that Hillary Clinton wouldnt be where she is today if she wasnt a woman and hadnt been married to Bill Clinton << You would be right (but I think mostly about the married to Bill part). >I would probably come under similar attacks even though my statements are truthful as well. Statements can be truthful and still have offensive implications.< IMO the truth should not be offensive. It should be discussed even if the goal of telling it wasn't very noble as in this case. That's the point. I don't think the fact that others might use the same poor tactic justifies suppression of honest discussion. This particular event was really no big deal. However, truth suppression and political correctness are sometimes used in damaging ways by people that want to advance an agenda. >If someone from the Obama campaign made remarks such as the above what do you think would be the response from the clinton campaign?< They are democrats. So they would whine about the truth. ;-)
