The Anti Hillary Clinton Venom

I continue to be struck, baffled, and somewhat sickened by the breadth and depth of the hatred for Hillary Clinton, among those people of her own tint..

My awareness of this dates as far back as 1991, during the turmoil that surrounded the nomination of Clarence Thomas for the Supreme Court, following which Thomas' now lengthy service on that bench has been every bit as mediocre and humiliating as his detractors expected..

I observed that, just as a lot of men of the same color as Anita Hill, Thomas' chief accuser, hated her because they disliked her attempt to out the so-called "brother," a large number of Euro men, even those who ordinarily seemed to be people of good sense, similarly had only evil to say about Hillary Clinton, I am sure mainly because she didn't stay "in her place" as the typically retiring, deferring Presidential wife. Instead she got right out in front there on several issues, especially "her" health bill, and that was most likely why it failed rather than because of its own merits or lacks.

Even worse, though they would never have admitted it, these bozos also couldn't help noticing that she was far more intelligent and capable than 99.9 percent of them. And meanwhile those Euro women who couldn't stand her either did so as much as anything because she was married to Bill Clinton, and because she didn't summarily dump him during the impeachment fiasco, as any red-blooded out-of-her mind, enraged American wife would've done. Worst of all, consequently she didn't leave him free to make his way into their embraces instead.

I was dumbfounded, because try as I might, I never heard of anything that she had done that could be considered in the least reprehensible, and this was years before GW Bush's bandwagon ravishing of Iraq.

This anti-H. Clinton hatred continues to be so fashionable that there's no need to search for examples of it in the right wing rants. A look at the comments attached to this and other articles in the supposedly progressive Common Dreams will do. So much vitriol is being thrown at her there, expressed in a large variety of wild accusations, that I would think that if anything these views would instead hurt Barack Obama and any of the other candidates with whom she is competing for the Democratic Presidential nomination. Who needs friends like these?

I hope Obama in particular and his workers will approach such apparent support with the greatest caution, and will dispose of it as they would any bags of hyena poop that they find thrown into their campaign car, because it is not support for him at all. The only good thing about him, I am sure these people think, is that he has managed to give H. Clinton a good run for her money, and this gives them a new pretense to splash more acid on her.

I think we can safely bet that if things were to work out that these Repulican foxes in progressive and independent's clothing felt that they had chewed up H. Clinton to the point that somehow she ceased being a Presidential possibility, they would fall upon Obama next with equal violence and voracity. After all, his hue would make him fair game at least as much as her gender and her absolute refusal to sit in the back of the bus has always done Hillary Clinton.
