There are dozens of these groups, but four groups have the most members.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Stop Running for President and Make Me a Sandwich&#8211; 30,000+ members<\/li>\n<li>Anti Hillary Clinton for President &#8217;08&#8211; 65,000+ members<\/li>\n<li>Stop Hillary Clinton: One Million Strong AGAINST Hillary&#8211; 700,000+ members<\/li>\n<li>Life&#8217;s a Bitch, Why Vote for One?&#8211; 14,000+ members<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>So this morning I spent some time looking at the images that dominate these groups. The images these groups use to criticize Clinton as a presidential candidate make it pretty clear that sexism is alive and well (beyond <a href=\"http:\/\/news.yahoo.com\/s\/ap\/20080108\/ap_on_el_pr\/clinton_laundry\">the protesters asking Clinton to iron their shirts<\/a>)&#8211; and that gendered ways to talk about politics are as cogent as ever!
