In Frank Rich's column today, he criticizes different people for hypocrisy in regards to Don Imus. Follow below the fold to help me understand one of his comments.

Rich said the following:

And the fewer moralizing pundits and politicians, the better. Hillary Clinton, an Imus denouncer who has also called for federal regulation of violent television and video games, counts among her Hollywood fat cats Haim Saban, who made his fortune from "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers."

I don't get it. What's wrong with the Power Rangers?

Even though I support Clinton, this is not really a pro-Hillary or anti-Hillary diary. I'm genuinely curious.

Sorry this is such a lightweight diary, but I just want to know the answer!

Darn sure they are, and you are racist for not knowing that!

They're not racist, but they are misogynist

They're racist, misongynist, and probably anti-semitic!

I believe the Pink Ranger had a thing for the Teletubbies!

Rich himself is misogynist!

Edwards probably co-sponsored the Power Ranger resolution before disavowing it

Obama has no clear policy on Power Rangers, as usual

Hillary is triangulating on the Power Rangers
