The Repuke criticism of Hillary that makes steam come out of my ears

She has no accomplishments.

It's one of the most common repuke fabulist bullshit "arguments" against her candidacy. In the past few days it's emanated from the soggy craniums of George Will, the revolting Dennis Praeger and Carly Fiorina- to name just a few. It takes sexism to new lows. And I really, really want to see it backfire and blow them to (figurative) smithereens.

Here's what that piece of shit, Praeger (apologies to all fecal matter) wrote:

<snip>

Anyway, how exactly does Hillary Clinton exemplify female achievement? What she has achieved — all the fame, being elected a U.S. senator, and being named secretary of state — is due to the man she married. Isn’t that supposedly the antithesis of the message feminists want to convey to young women?

Compare Hillary Clinton to Carly Fiorina, a woman who went from small-town girl to CEO and board chairwoman of Hewlett-Packard, one of the world’s largest companies. The comparison should be embarrassing. Yet how many liberals who are preoccupied with having a woman president would vote for Carly Fiorina? Zero.

And Fiorina, who managed to tank HP during her tenure got into it yesterday with Mika;

MIKA BRZEZINSKI:, MSNBC: You said [Hillary Clinton] does not have a track record of accomplishments, why do you say that?

CARLY FIORINA: She really doesn't. Yes, she’s had a lot of very impressive titles, but a position is just a position — it’s all about what you do in it, and I think her time in the position of secretary of state is demonstrably one that lacks accomplishment but that also has some real blemishes on it.

I won't bother with quoting Will. Different horse's ass, same manure.

The sexism is flowing like sewage after a rain storm.

Without exception, all of the utter nonsense coming from the republican party against Ms. Clinton can best be viewed as nothing more than the projection of their inner pathology.

I welcome Republican deception.
It's so much fun to put it in a nice bright spotlight.

Republican 101: projection - accuse your opponent of your own flaws

The sexism is vile and I hope to hell it backfires on them.

so you can see how she'd stress accomplishments once in a position... oh wait while in her position she ran HP to the ground. She's available because no one is drunk enough to let her CEO another company.
