All You Need Is Hate (Reprise)

I have been thinking about writing this column for some time, but I have hesitated because of a fear that it would advance the agenda that is its target. That is the agenda of Hillary Clinton-hating.
Its existence is hardly news — it is routinely referred to by commentators on the present campaign and it has been documented in essays and books — but the details of it can still startle when you encounter them up close. In the January issue of GQ, Jason Horowitz described the world of Hillary haters, many of whom he has interviewed. Horowitz finds that the hostile characterizations of Clinton do not add up to a coherent account of her hatefulness. She is vilified for being a feminist and for not being one, for being an extreme leftist and for being a “warmongering hawk,” for being godless and for being “frighteningly fundamentalist,” for being the victim of her husband’s peccadilloes and for enabling them. “She is,” Horowitz concludes, “an empty vessel into which can pour everything they detest.” (In this she is the counterpart of George W. Bush, who serves much the same function for many liberals.)

I can't thing of one good thing GWB has
ever done for this country or anyone in it
except for the rich.

That said, I don't think you can compare Hillary to Bush. Bush is by all accounts a dictator. He really is. Look up the definition of dictator and much of it can be applied to Bush43.
