It was an extraordinary scene on the last day of campaigning for New Hampshire voters when two sexist men jumped up and started waving signs that said IRON MY SHIRT and chanting the same line. Clinton immediately seized on the moment, pointing out the sexism that still exists and ordering that the lights be brought up. It infuriated many woman and could well have secured the slim margin of victory in the state for Clinton. It now appears that the protest was a stunt by a radio program by Nick Gemelli and Adolfo Gonzalez — regulars on the “Toucher and Rich” radio show at WBCN in Boston.[...]
It is also clear that this is not “evidence of sexism in society” but evidence of the continuing menace of shock jocks, who exist because radio executives appear to lack any principles or motivation beyond making money in any way possible.
A journalist, Michael McAuliff of the NY Daily News, followed the pranksters from the speech area and found they had "Hillary for President" stickers, causing accusations they were pro-Hillary plants.
....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
