How much Hillary hate is caused by right-wing attacks?

Not YOU, you are too politically astute to be swayed by such things. I mean the average American of any political persuasion, who might have been affected from the long deluge of attacks on H. Clinton, and the Clinton's in general. Certainly you can see it's taken some toll on overall perception.

And does it benefit you, of the more informed Hillary-hate crowd? If it does, are you not in a strange kind of alliance with the right-wing?

You must admit, this is a peculiar dynamic. How does it make you feel to attack Hillary alongside the right-wing; to have, in sense, a shared enemy?

1. The people here that continue to slander Clinton will be stunned if Obama ever gets targeted.

OOPS there goes that electability argument!

2. All of the "Hillary hate" is caused by right-wing attacks...

But the principled opposition to Clinton is based on her record of enabling the Bush regime.

You know, I actually voted for her in 2000 in reaction to the "Hillary hate" pushed by the right wing. Now that she has a voting record in the Senate, it's no longer enough that voting for her counteracts right-wing mythology.

6. Absolutely. The only place I've seen it worse

is on Obama's web site. Yikes! those people are overcome by hate. It's sad, really, to read some of it. It makes me wonder if they are all 10 years old.

I think it's partly the right wing, but more the MSM, who have hated her from Day One. That and the general gullibility and sheep-like nature of the electorate combine for a real maelstrom.

4. What many Hillary supporters dont understand is that the "hate" on the left...

....comes from the Clinton's not being liberals despite their talking points.

Very little real liberal ideas got passed in Bill's two terms, and no amount of retroactive massaging of his record to help her win can change that.

This isnt a Republican thing, its an honesty thing, and the Clintons havent been honest about themselves.

8. None. They were always mad at her for different things than I am. In fact it pissed

me off to always have to be defending her for a bunch of crap when there were real issues to dislike her about.

10. If Obama becomes the nominee, watch the RW hate machine transfer...

much of the hatred and disinformation from Hillary to Obama. He will have a few months of absolute hell.

On the other hand, Hillary can handle the buzzards...has been for 16 years now.

12. Hill can fight the lies, it's the truth that is her undoing. Obama will do just fine. Watch and

learn.

If Hill were doing so well, she would have had the nomination from her own party long ago.
