Right now at the Huffington post there is a raving, ranting article by JILL ISCOL decrying all the sexism that has hindered Hillary. Jill claims that she is one woman that is up in arms over it and that all women should be upset at the Democratic party for it. Even though, she provides not citations of mistreatment.
It is what Jill does not say (but which is in her bio) that really well..pisses me off.

Jill does not disclose up front that she is a long time Clinton campaign worker.
In 2000, Jill was a Co-Chair of Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton’s Finance Committee, which raised a record 29 million dollars. She also recently served as a Vice Chair of Senator Clinton’s 2006 Senate Finance Committee and is currently on the finance team for Senator Clinton’s Presidential Campaign.

I am partly upset by the tone of the piece and the fact that Jill/someone does not show the replies that talk about the fact that Jill is a campaign worker!
Most of the time, this stuff isn't worth a diary, however if you read this ranting piece of work you will probably conclude a few things.
- Jill is the world's most concerned troll.
- Jill should disclose her relationship to the campaign upfront.
- This seems like an effort to make sure Hillary supporters do not support Obama in the fall (or even Dems at all).
And finally.
- The supers and every one else should be alerted about this crap.
Okay, please brace yourselves for some choice (not cherry picked) quotes from Jill's article.
The article starts of like this:
We need to talk. How dare the leadership of the Democratic Party turn on Hillary Clinton!
I kid you not sounds like snark right?!
Again here's the link

How dare they allow them both to be smeared as racists, playing the race card! Where was Howard Dean ? Where was Nancy Pelosi ? Where were Hillary's colleagues in the Senate when the Clintons were being so unfairly accused and denigrated? The Democratic Party has a lot to answer for.
Yeap the whole Democratic party is against Hillary. I am not making this up, Jill sounds really concerned, (at least she can spell unlike many trolls).
Wait there's more and this is the part that will start to really piss you off (there is so much more to this article I just can't decide which stuff is the most outrageous).
I am a Hillary supporter and along with millions of Democrats throughout our country , I have been outraged by how the media have treated her throughout this primary season. But what is most disturbing is how my Party has stood by and allowed the demeaning and dishonest attacks on Hillary to continue. This is not the party I thought I belonged to.
No where does Jill state that she is a supporter and works for the campaign, throughout the article (IMHO) Jill makes it seem that she is just some outrage everyday HRC supporter, who is fed up w/the party. Jill basically says that every woman should be fed up with the party.
Note this line
Women are outraged. We are still fighting for her, and we are ashamed of how our candidate, a woman who has devoted her adult life to serving others,
What I am most upset by is the fact that if you point out that Jill is a HRC campaign worker (no matter how nice your comment may be) it will be deleted from the post.
If you are upset with this post, (remember this is coming from a campaign) then I want you to email/post at Huffpo, and also drop a line to the super delegates about this behaviour from a staff member (who appears to be saying that all women should be pissed at the Democratic party). I can't think of any thing else, but I'm sure others will have great action items to suggest.
But please don't let this go.
Update thanks to fortuna!
More info on Jill (Jill makes me ill)
From the NY Times - September 23, 2000 - regarding staying in the Lincoln bedroom:
One of the guests on the current list, Jill Iscol of Pound Ridge, N.Y., said she resented the implication that the Clintons were auctioning off White House stays to big donors.
She and her husband, Kenneth Iscol, a telecommunications executive, have known the president and Mrs. Clinton for six years. They met through their children; Zack Iscol, now 22, met Chelsea Clinton when they were teenagers.
Mrs. Iscol said her family stayed overnight at the White House last December but their largess to the Clintons and the Democratic Party predated their sleepover. The Iscols have given more than $29,000 to Mrs. Clinton's campaign and helped raise tens of thousands of dollars more for her.
''The Clintons are dear, wonderful friends and have been for six years,'' Mrs. Iscol said. ''I'm spending my life on this campaign because I believe in it. There is no quid pro quo in this operation.''
Update II
I'm not mocking women who feel this way, I am pointing out, however, that Jill isn't your ordinary campaign supporter. I feel Jill has portrayed herself in a dishonest fashioned, and if you point out her current position in the campaign that post is deleted.
Update III This will really piss you off!
Thanks to mahakali overdrive
This is the area where Jill lives, no doubt Jill represents the down torden women.
