FFS scaeagles, that's it? Seriously? "Hilary is evil" is it? Because what, Paul Ryan, the spineless wonder, is some great paragon of political morality? Or Jeb? Or any of them?
Grow up. Stop getting fooled by the Clinton mythology sold by the right for 30 years. She's a politician with 30 years of high-profile power positions - she's done the things a politician in that position do. And yes, many of those things suck. But she's not alone. She's not uniquely evil. She's not some exceptionally bad actor. I think you know I'm not one to play this "card" lightly - but a man with her experience and track record doesn't engender a FRACTION of the scorn and scrutiny that she has. Her "reputation" is so transparently the result of the ease of selling the story that a woman is conniving and deceitful, and out to trick you it's pathetic.
You disagree with her politics. Fine. You're unhappy with the pervasive accepted corruption that is baked into politics top to bottom, in both parties. Fine. So am I. But this is the alternative? Megalomania and neo-Naziism? This isn't a course correction, this is slamming the boat into the rocks.
I really wish NPR hadn't just reminded me of Silvio Beerlusconi. It's not making my day better.
