Operation Turndown

Voices for Hillary Clinton:

If you have not heard about Steve Corbett’s radio broadcast, you may want to visit it online now. Steve has started a movement called “Operation Turndown”.
http://wilknetwork.com/It-s-A-Turndown-Day/2213673

He is definitely fun to listen to and if you are a Hillary supporter, it will lift your spirits immensely. I was in tears last night - good tears. Nice to have someone who understands what Hillary and we women supporters have endured during this campaign, especially when that someone is a pretty macho kinda guy! Go listen and see for yourself:

DNC: Fractured Fairy Tales

Request by Geeklove and IndyRobin.

ABC News: Cynthia Ruccia and Clinton Supporters Count Too

Not a good sign for Democrats.

Clinton decries sexism in the White House race

WASHINGTON (AFP) — Hillary Clinton called sexist attacks on her campaign “deeply offensive” Tuesday, as female supporters sprang to her defense, saying she speaks for all women and should stay in the Democratic race to the bitter end.

“It’s been deeply offensive to millions of women,” Clinton said told The Washington Post in an interview, in which she pinned blame primarily on tolerant attitudes in the media. “I believe this campaign has been a groundbreaker in a lot of ways. But it certainly has been challenging given some of the attitudes in the press.”

Clinton said she did not believe the campaign had been tainted by racism, adding that racism is apparently less tolerated in US society than sexism. “There should be equal treatment of the sexism and the racism when it raises its ugly head. It does seem as though the press at least is not as bothered by the incredible vitriol that has been engendered by the comments by people who are nothing but misogynists.”

Oppression of women and discrimination against women is universal. You can go to places in the world where there are no racial distinctions except everyone is joined together in their oppression of women. The treatment of women is the single biggest problem we have politically and socially in the world. If you look at the extremism and the fundamentalism, it is all about controlling women, at it’s base. The idea that we would have a presidential campaign in which so much of what has occurred that has been very sexist would be just shrugged off I think is a very unfortunate commentary about the lack of seriousness that should be applied to any kind of discrimination or prejudice. I have spent my entire life trying to stand up for civil rights and women’s rights and human rights and I abhor wherever it is discrimination is present.

Female supporters of Hillary Clinton have sprung to her defense, insisting she should stay in the Democratic primary race to the end, June 3.

“Not so fast,” read a full page ad in The New York Times Tuesday, amid calls for Clinton to bow out sooner to help unify the party after a divisive contest between Clinton and Illinois Senator Barack Obama. “Hillary’s voice is OUR voice, and she’s speaking for all of us,” said the ad, purchased by a group not affiliated with the Clinton campaign called WomenCount. “We want Hillary to stay in this race until every vote is cast, every vote is counted, and we know that our voices are heard.”

Geraldine Ferraro, who as the Democratic party’s vice presidential nominee in 1984 is the only woman on a major US presidential ticket to date, said sexism had been “rampant” in the presidential primary campaign. Asked if the former first lady could blame her loss on gender, Ferraro said, “She might, but I certainly will and other people involved in watching the campaign will. Latent sexism has been around this country for a long time. In this campaign it was rampant.”

“There is a real difference in this country. It is not okay to be racist. It is just not. It is almost acceptable to be sexist.” Ferraro recalled a Clinton rally in New Hampshire when someone in the audience held up a sign saying “Iron my shirt.” “Suppose somebody at that Barack Obama rally said ‘Shine my shoes.’ The person would have been swamped by the media saying, what, are you a racist? Hillary barely saw press on this. It is not only the Obama campaign. It is how the press has handled this.”

Revolution!

If you don’t think the Clinton supporters movement is real, I got 375 and 585 searches here and at the Hillary 1000 today for Clinton Supporters Count Too-related posts and 750 and 1135 post views of three CSCT-related posts. The Hillary 1000 got its all time hits of 2683 compared to its previous high three days earlier, 1600, also related to this movement. We received an unprecedented 74 (approved) comments.

Monday: You say you want a Revolution

Alright!!! Some of you are getting a little PO’d about Obama’s use of the past tense when it comes to Hillary. How many times do we need to go over this? They are playing mind games, people. Even if he does stupidly go in front of the cameras tomorrow night and crown himself king, he has to wait out the next three months because nothing is official until the balloons drop in Denver. In the meantime, he’s going to be sweating bullets because *we* have something the DNC desperately wants. And they are not going to get it by continuing their bad behavior. We all have choices. You have a lot more power than you think. Now, turn off the news, re-register as an unaffiliated voter, send your old torn up registration card to Howard and Donna and send Hillary a ten spot. Don’t make me come over there.

Operation Turn Down Continues…

It’s A Turndown Day Steve Corbett Reporting

“Operation Turndown” is no mirage. The voice of a movement that got underway last week on WILK News Radio belongs to all Democrats who refuse to do as we’re told and vote for Barack Obama if he receives the party nomination for president. If Obama’s the chosen one, we’re turning him down. Count us out.

Last Friday women from all over the nation called “Corbett” to share their anger, their frustration and their commitment to fight absurd accusations hurled by some Obama supporters that they’re racist if they do not vote for Obama. They called to enlist in the movement to stand on the very principles that sent them into the streets as organizers and activists for Democrats in election after election, year after year after year.

Now, like Hillary, they, too, feel abused. And they’ve had enough. If Democratic bosses believe they can win in November without Hillary, they have to do it without countless Hillary supporters who have made the Democratic Party the true party of change it is today. This is dangerous territory for bosses who usually expect women to do as they’re told. After all, many women have been content in the past to follow their dream that one day their turn would come. Their turn has come. It’s here and the moment is long overdue. Hillary is their one-and-only Democrat.

When I left the station last Friday night, I had received well over 200 deeply personal and well-thought-out emails. I received calls on the air from all over the country and calls off the air from as far away as New Delhi, India. The mostly women callers wanted to know how to join Operation Turndown. They wanted to know where they could contribute. They wanted to know how to spread the word that we will turn down Obama. Organized or not, “Operation Turndown” lives in the heart of anyone who sees this elegant political hustle for what it is – a dangerous maneuver orchestrated by the party elite to take care of themselves at everybody else’s expense. Operation Turndown will continue in every town and every city where women are taken for granted.

Nowadays that still means everywhere. The wisest Democrats know exactly what I mean. Those who don’t get it are in for a big surprise. Like the 60s radio song says, “It’s a turndown day.”
