WHY DO PEOPLE HATE HILLARY?

This is the obvious question, and it extends far beyond husband Bill's philandering. It is so previlent, that it has reached, not only the mainstream media, but the debates as well (remember Obama stating "you are likable enough.....?").

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 [her detractors] can pour everything they detest.”

Among Hillary haters, this is what you will hear..."Hillary Clinton is a murderer, a burglar, a destroyer of property, a blackmailer, a psychological rapist, a white-collar criminal, an adulteress, a blasphemer, a liar, the proprietor of a secret police, a predatory lender, a misogynist, a witness tamperer, a street criminal, a criminal intimidator, a harasser and a sociopath." These accusations are “supported” by innuendo, tortured logic, strained conclusions and photographs that are declared to tell their own story, but don’t.

Respected political commentators devote precious network time to deep analyses of her laugh. Everyone blames her for what her husband does or for what he doesn’t do. (This is what the compound “Billary” is all about.) If she answers questions aggressively, she is shrill. If she moderates her tone, she’s just play-acting. If she cries, she’s faking. If she doesn’t, she’s too masculine. If she dresses conservatively, she’s dowdy. If she doesn’t, she’s inappropriately provocative.

Robert Bluey of Bluey Blog and director of the Center for Media & Public Policy at The Heritage Foundation, a think tank whose mission is “to formulate and promote conservative public policies based on the principles of free enterprise, limited government, individual freedom, traditional American values, and a strong national defense.” Speaking for himself and not necessarily for The Heritage Foundation, Rob wrote the following: "Americans began to dislike Hillary during the 1992 campaign and only grew more hostile throughout her husband's eight years in the White House. I think part of the problem stems from the fact she had no intention of following the typical role of first lady, preferring instead to be a political bulldog. This partisanship alienated a large number of Americans who won't soon forget the Hillary of old no matter how hard she tries to remake herself. "

Why the right doesn't like Hillary:

1. She is nakedly and unabashedly ambitious. She seems willing to do virtually anything to get ahead. For ex. sticking with Bill because it enhanced her chances for higher office even though she appeared to have little affection for him. Moving to NY to become a Senator.

2. She does not appear to have a world view grounded in a particular philosophy or moral system other than expediency.

3. She is bright and capable which is particularly dangerous when combined with 1 and 2 above.

4. She isn't loathed because she is a woman or a Clinton. She is loathed because she is perceived as amoral, Machiavellian, and dangerous for America.

Why the "World According to Kimba" does:

1. She is very competant, well schooled, prepared with actual facts and answers, and is almost always the smartest person in the room

2. She isn't always going around giving fluff, esoteric speeches like Obama. She offers smart, nuanced answers to difficult questions.

3. She knows how to win. Politics is like sausage. You love to eat it, but in no way want to know what goes into it.

4. She is a bulldogged Bitch. Capital B. She is tougher than Obama on his worst day. And really, isn't that what we need?

5. She HAS made a career fighting for the disadvantaged and people without voices. She defended and supported minority groups back when you didn't need them to get elected.

6. I don't vote for people based on their looks, or charisma. If I did, I'd vote for Campbell Brown. We are in a video-idiot world, and she doesn't fit the current "game show host" looks requirement by the majority of the American sheep electorate.

7. She comes with a political machine to succeed on day one.

If anyone reading this can give me some substantiated reasons to hate Hillary,

click on "comment" below and lets hear it.

Sure, I didn't like Bill's affairs...well actually I could care less about his affairs, just don't lie about it under oath, and I wasn't real happy with some of his last day pardons, like the one for Marc Rich (although it was much preferred to the Bush pardon of Scooter). All the Clinton's did was take a nation in crumbling disarray, and transform it into the eight best fucking years of my life. And yet, the Clinton's are hated more than any American family, except the Kennedy's.

I just don't get it. Dislike, OK. But the foaming at the mouth, rabid dog hatred of this woman completely escapes me. In the world today, anyone (especially the mainstream media) can throw a fistful of shit against the wall o' Clinton, however untrue, and get it to stick.

And that is a damnable shame. That is not the country I want to be...how about you?

And that is "The World According to Kimba" Thanks for reading.
