(42,862 posts)Brian: Did you say "ex-leper"?
Ex-Leper: That's right, sir, 16 years behind a veil and proud of it, sir.
Brian: Well, what happened?
Ex-Leper: Oh, cured, sir.
Brian: Cured?
Ex-Leper: Yes sir, bloody miracle, sir. Bless you!
Brian: Who cured you?
Ex-Leper:: Jesus did, sir. I was hopping along, minding my own business, all of a sudden, up he comes, cures me! One minute I'm a leper with a trade, next minute my livelihood's gone. Not so much as a by-your-leave! "You're cured, mate." Bloody do-gooder.

(12,448 posts)I'm reading her book, and it comes up again and again that she was unfairly targeted by the media, the FBI, and of course Russia. Naturally the Right also targeted her relentlessly; unfortunately so did some on the Left.
I'm amazed that she came through all that, and a wrenching election loss, with grace. Watching her interviews, she rises above them all (although she does make it clear exactly what she thinks of Dump)

(9,426 posts)are why gop "men" are afraid of her. She is too intelligent for them, and they can not tolerate THAT! Not to mention, her husband is also brilliant. In the view of the gop, dangerous couple. They prefer an idiot in the WH. I thought they hit the jackpot with W, but the orange ass in there now is even dumber. Plus his entire family is stupid, yet seem to think they are brilliant!

(17,984 posts)Man, this is getting bad. Emails giving away classified intel. Child slavery/pizza parlors. Martian slave colonies. When will someone have the guts to stop her?
MrPurple
(985 posts)all the people associated with her that she's had murdered, her Stinger missile scam through Benghazi, her severe neurological condition from which she'll be dead any day, her bloodthirsty desire for war, the millions of dollars she's stolen through Haiti and like 50 other things.
She's like a Rorschach test for crazed right wing conspiracy theorists.

(41,991 posts)Hillary Clinton could play The Star Spangled Banner on her rib cage and they'd say she couldn't sing.
Hillary Clinton could get three million more votes and they'd say she lost.

(15,682 posts)where needed. I know many who don't naturally make knee jerk responses do sometimes these days. A lot of raw hurt feelings still remain. I know I haven't been able to let go of attacks made on my candidate that were gratitous and without merit and there have been times when I have misinterpreted a comment here. But I think you are right. More people got it then didn't.

(204 posts)... but this is true. Despite my massive reservations about her, to the point of really not liking her at all as a politician, she has so many arbitrary barriers to hurdle everyday that she alone proves misogyny weighs heavily on this country to this day.

If you do run for something Hillary, please wait until last second to do paperwork and rattle the Republican parties cage for the entire midterm election season! make Republicans-non profit political charities' squander billions on elections. billions of republican spending is great for the local economies!
