Thread Name: BS: Obama lacks 'patriotism'????????????????
Subject: RE: BS: Obama lacks 'patriotism'????????????????
There are several women on this site who seem to hate Hillary with a truly pathological hatred, GG, even morseo than their male counteparts do. I have noticed that. I don't know why they hate her that much, but they do.

My own mother (a true political junkie) hates Hillary with a pathological hatred. She called her a "bitch" the other day. Astounding! My mother never uses such language. Well, never until Hillary.

She thinks Obama's great and she loves Michelle Obama too. She is very upset that Nader has entered the race.

How about that, eh? ;-) And she's Canadian, and can't even vote in your election.

Me, I've always sort of liked Hillary. She seems like a smart lady. I don't like the machine behind her much, don't trust 'em. I don't trust the machine that backs Obama much either, however.

I think you might be on the wrong track with this notion of misogyny playing a big part in the Hillary-hating, as it's my impression that a great many women hate her with a vengeance for whatever reason...and certainly so do a great many men, but I don't think misogyny has much to do with that. I think partisanship has the most to do with it.

It doesn't explain my mother's hatred of Hillary, though, because my Mother always prefers Democrats to Republicans. She regards most Republicans the way you might regard some loathsome, demonic creature that just crawled out of an open coffin.

She seems to regard Hillary pretty much the same way.
