  • Look out "first wave feminist" You deserve a bronze representation in the park but get out of Melissa's way.

  • Steinem claims that Obama's victory is inevitable because it "upholds the historical pattern." Is she kidding? There's a historical precedent for a black man with a Muslim name winning the White House? She is clearly blinded by her disappointment over the realization that someone like her----a privileged, educated, wealthy white woman---will not be elected to the White House this go around.

  • Harris Lacewell in a TKO.

  • @MrNitwin Theodore was a very distant relative who had no relationship with FDR. In fact, he was a closer relative to FDR's wife than to FDR himself. He actually escorted Eleanor down the aisle at her wedding.

  • Melissa Harris-Perry - super intelligent and smolderingly beautiful. Quite a combination.

  • Hmm, if they had blocked past presidents, with "parental or familial" connections from entering the White House, there would have been no FDR.

    But then again, these folks don't read history, they just rewrite it.

  • Steinem stumped!

  • props due to Melissa Harris-Perry..

    

  • Melissa calling Steinem out on her hypocrisy and historical distortions and lies is what made me such a fan of Melissa in the first place. She is very courageous and brilliant.

  • I think MHL was rather disrespctful and slightly juvinile in her argument. She had no other basis as to why Obama would be the better choice, her grandstanding that was offended is tiresome. GS has fought long and hard to open doors for all of us. let us not be dismissive of that. There was no need to sound so outraged. Are we as women always going to have to choose between our gender and our ethnicity?
