Interview with batshit crazy Cynthia Ruccia
Fri, May 23, 2008
A commenter just posted an amazing interview here at BI. It is posted in it’s entirety here.
I just spoke with Cynthia Ruccia personally on the telephone from her home in Bexley, Ohio. I assure you that I am serious. I left a message on her machine, and she kindly returned my call. She spoke to me at some length. She said she “can’t believe the level of rage” she feels about the betrayal of women by the Democratic Party. She did, indeed, sound enraged.
I asked her to describe to me any specific example of sexism she has observed in the media. She would not, saying that she wouldn’t bother to describe such things to anyone who fails to see that the sexism directed at Hillary Clinton is constant and completely obvious. She told me a lot about her “feminist” creditials. She used the word “we” throughout our conversation. When I asked who she meant by “we,” she answered, “millions of women!”
She also said that she feels Geraldine Ferraro’s views are admirable and “heroic,” and that the media is “swift-boating” the Clintons by portraying them and their tactics as racist. She said with absolute assurance that “the Obama campaign is threatening to cause race riots everywhere.” She has a deeply negative view of Donna Brazile, and misquoted Brazile as having said that the Obama campaign “does not need women in its coalition.” She assured me she really likes African Americans. Many of her employees, she says, are African American. (Ruccia is a sales rep for Mary Kay cosmetics.)
In short, Ruccia was completely irrational and sees in every news image and bit of media dialogue she hears the taint of the hateful sexism. This she believes with the consumate conviction of a true paranoid.
Thanks Terry.

The two comments on here are proof of the way a woman is perceived if she voices her views and DARES to protest anything.
Yet if an African American complains about something someone said about SAINT KING OBAMA, oh that’s a racist comment and it is all over the news! You can’t even criticize Obama’s wife now otherwise you are taking potshots at a African American. Everyone is walking on eggshells kissing Obama’s ass. The fact that Ruccia is being looked at as batshit is 100% proof of the sexism going on in this election and in this country while everyone is falling over themselves not to appear to be racist. But then we all know who Obama’s spiritual mentor is and how he was taught to think.
Hope you choke on your $43 million as well as your yuppie .commers.

Well, millions of women are pissed off and they are voting with their VOTES! There is no point in arguing with people who are rabidly defensive about Obama and his promoters. We’re just going to do it! No polls involved.
You cannot be elected on the platform of uniting people and then have your followers do every devisive thing they can to devide people on the basis of race. Memos from their camp show they were just waiting for the opportunity to cry racism. Their mistake was picking on Bill Clinton who has done more for AA community than anybody else. Most people who aren’t still wet behind the ears KNOW the Clintons are very much FOR the AA community. Obama people, particularly the AA ones, have a lot of nerve claiming otherwise.
Let the DNC watch their favorite candidate fail because the white working class, in particular the women, aren’t going to try to stop it. Visualize 10 million pissed off women. Sorry DNC, but you did this to yourselves. Not this time, not this candidate.

re: pat and beedee
I think the problem a lot of people have with your stances is that there is no room for any possible discussion or dissent or dialog. I’ve had a number of conversations with cynthia (she being my mother), and every argument that I’ve brought up has had an immediate knee-jerk response that leaves no space for any possibility that it may be wrong. you all talk about how the dnc has betrayed you, yet you don’t allow for the possibility that the dnc could change with your help and engagement. yes, I respect your right to be angry and your right to be pissed off, but yelling about a problem and then walking away without waiting for a response is no way to get anything changed for the better.

ok, so my second sentence should read: “I’ve had a number of conversations with cynthia (she being my mother), and every argument that I’ve brought up has had an immediate knee-jerk response that leaves no space for any possibility that my argument may have a kernel of truth to it.”
