Hillary Haters Just Don't Like Her

Posted Dec 27, 07 12:49 PM CST in Politics 

(Newser) – With a week to go before the Iowa caucuses, GQ looks at a subculture that hasn't gone away: the "Hillary Haters," a loose-knit collection of virulently anti-Clinton activists who can't wait to swiftboat her presidential bid. What unifies those who can't bear the thought of a Madam President and are raising millions to stop her? Little to nothing, it seems.

The Clinton haters range from evangelicals who accuse her of lesbianism to Spago-dining Hollywoodites who call her "Nixon in drag." The Stop Her Now website proclaims its mission as "Rescuing America from the radical ideas of Hillary Clinton"; a book illustrates her "superiority and arrogance" with photos of her changing hairstyles. Political unity is absent; the only constant is personal revulsion.

    Fear of Lefty Obama Gets Bill Behind Mac If Bill Clinton seems to be sabotaging Barack Obama's campaign, it may not only be for Hillary's presumed 2012 run, but because he prefers John McCain, Roger Simon writes in Pajamas Media. Since "showing up" Obama with his convention speech, Clinton has been "lavishing praise" on McCain and defending his desire to delay tonight’s debate—perhaps because he “wants Obama to lose.” More »
