Not long ago, it used to be the case that Hillary Clinton's political enemies --- let's call them that --- were to be exclusively found on the Right. Not so any more. Today, you have just as many, if not more visceral, Clinton haters on the Left, too. Thinking about it, I sometimes don't know whether to laugh or cry.
This second anti-Clinton group first appeared on the political horizon eight years ago during the spirited, and at times brutal, primary contest between her and then Senator Barrack Obama. Today, this very group has morphed into a deadly species, has even become infinitely more dangerous than her foes on the Right, and I'm hard put to justify the hatred. I often gasp in disbelief when I read some of the ugliest things said about her today by many of those who call themselves Liberals , especially as the primary fight between her and Bernie Sanders is turning overtly desperate with Sanders becoming ugly and nasty in his denigration of her character. The septuagenarian once promised not to run such a campaign.
A.H. Goodman, an archetypal Clinton hater whose pathetic case I intend to address in detail perhaps soon, has managed to appear as the leader of Clinton enemies on the Left. Like Sanders, he calls himself a "social democrat". Demented in his view of the Democratic front-runner, Goodman hops from one publication to another willing to accept itself as a receptacle for his unceasing garbage about Clinton to dump it there.
For Goodman and the rest of his fellow travelers on both sides of the aisle, the overarching aim is to keep Clinton from getting the nomination even though the individual objective for each side is markedly different. Goodman and many like-minded Liberals delude themselves into thinking that Sanders is a stronger general election candidate than Clinton, whereas her Republican traducers believe the opposite is overwhelmingly the case. I hate to say that the Republicans have it right in this case, which explains their unflagging campaign against Clinton while ignoring her primary opponent.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS
"Fellow travelers?" Unequivocally calling other Democrats "enemies?" Where does the McCarthyism stop?
You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Tue Mar 22, 2016, 05:57 PM, and the Jury voted 2-5 to LEAVE IT.
Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: I don't necessarily agree with the article, but I don't see a TOS violation.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No hide.
Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Might as well have called out everyone who was supporting Obama last time against HRC and built a second tier of hate with those who are supporting Sanders this time against HRC. Wow... The hate irony here is stunning.
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Alerter...grow the Hell up!
This post WILL be hidden because it violates the "BernieUnderground" litmus test of blind, unquestioning loyalty to Sanders, but it won't be with my help!
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Nope.
Juror #7 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.

(1,545 posts)If he's nominated, the nightly news will have to start announcing trigger warnings, like "We must warn all Sanders supporters that the following item contains criticism of the Senator".
Meanwhile, they spitout the most venomous insults they can imagine at Hillary and anyone who supports her.

(2,470 posts)Many people bought into the media narrative that the Clinton's were both corrupt hillbillies. Hillary Clinton herself was condemned for being an anti-feminist as well as a radical feminist.
As usual most of the problem started because people believed the main stream media. Or whatever David Broder believed was holy writ.
Hell Broder was Nixon toady.
