'She was NO hero!' Thatcher-haters loathe inclusion of Iron Lady in 'great women' ad [video]

@MarthaPlimpton That was jarring to me, too.

During the #GoldenGlobes, an ad for Microsoft/Bing featured “great women” of 2013.

Is it not possible to be a “great woman” if you don’t fall in line with the liberal/left line of thinking? When it comes to Margaret Thatcher, who died last year at the age of 87, the answer appears to be “absolutely not”:

That Microsoft Bing ad lionizing Thatcher will shortly be followed by the Xbox ad featuring Stalin and Mussolini.

If I had my way, I'd edit Margret Thatcher out of this video. She was NO hero! http://t.co/hb3X3yTedb @bing #HeroicWomen

One possible diagnosis?

@MarthaPlimpton @Jordan_Roth @bing @Microsoft Afraid of conservatives?
