If Hillary Clinton was running as Obama’s Vice President, do you think the media would accept demands from Obama’s camp that she would not answer any questions about her candidacy from the news media or grant interview requests unless she was treated with “respect and deference” by whomever was “permitted to question her?
And do you think the media would have been so concerned about being portrayed as mean and nasty misogynists that they would have failed to demand that Hillary Clinton answer concerns concerning her ethical lapses while in office?
Do you think the media would agree not to ask Hillary Clinton any questions about her religious beliefs, especially if she was connected to churches, pastors and a religious movement which holds that the world is entering the End Times allegedly prophesied in the Bible, a period of of spiritual warfare in which supernatural powers will be granted to a special group of Christian believers (such as herself) who will do battle with the Antichrist and his followers prior to the Second Coming of Jesus Christ?
And do you believe that anyone in the media would have treated seriously Hillary Clinton’s claim that McCain had made a personal sexist attack on her because he used the expression “putting lipstick on a pig” to describe policies proposed by Obama, or even those she proposed herself?
And do you think the media would have hesitated to ask Hillary Clinton questions about her family, such as questions concerning past behavior by one particular member of her family that many Americans consider immoral?
And can you imagine Republicans not making a campaign issue about any of these matters, and running constant attack ads about them, if Hillary Clinton were the female Vice presidential candidate in question?
Well, like the title to this post says, these are questions you already know the answers to, now don’t you?
