Am i missing something, i was just checking Peter Schiff's Senate webpage and under Reasons to Vote for Peter Schiff. It says "Her Career: promoting sexist fantasy television."
Maybe English is not my first language.. but what does that mean?

That's Linda McMahon's career.

He means that her business promotes content which can be deemed offensive towards one gender such as portraying females as promiscuous or men as thuggish.

I doubt it's a big issue with Peter but might be important in swaying Simmons voters.

It's an implication that this (picture below) kind of "entertainment" makes her an inferior choice for office.

Honestly, I never cared much for that approach. What if, instead of focusing on the issues, the opposition just ran "Schiff is BORING" ads? Linda's stands on the issues are awful enough, and the campaign should go easy on the other associations imo.

I agree Melissa. I would much rather see Schiff tout his credentials and get aggressive in that manner. Have the campaign seek to obtain Linda for a debate. Then when she refuses, start a media blitz calling touting Schiffs positives and Linda hiding from debate.

I guess you haven't watched much pro wrestling (though it had a very good influence on me growing up the 1980s)
