I was hesitant to post this, because I'm not usually this callous or angry, but if "bitch" can be reclaimed then I figure this is fair game.
Still, this is not really who I am. I tip my hat to the artist and the people who put this together, but I really am not completely comfortable with the bitter, jaded tone of this song.
My beef this election cycle is with Bill, not Hillary. He has come across as arrogant and pushy, as though his worst qualities were magnified and pushed to the forefront. I didn't used to dislike Bill, but now I find him intolerable.

Your initial instincts were good. You felt uncomfortable putting this up, as you should. This is an offensive use of the word. The easiest comparison would be to say that while it might be acceptable for one African American to refer to another by using the "n" word, it would NOT be acceptable for me to do that. Just as it's not acceptable for an African American man to call me a "b".
As the father of two daughters I hope Obama denounces this video. When sexism is used as a weapon against Senator Clinton it harms ALL women.
