Oh my, 35 minutes of Hillaryhate.
That was Tweety tonight. He had prolonged segments of the Repubs bashing Hillary in the debate last night. Then an ad executive critiqued a Hillary ad and said that because her radio ad was a "lie," then all of her subsequent ads are lies that no one should believe.

Then there was a panel comprised of a Repub strategist, a so-called independent women's rep, and a contributor to National Review all bashing Bill's role in her campaign.

I gave up and changed channels after 35 minutes of this claptrap.

Geez. Tweety can't help himself.

1. Clinton was the most hated person with 80% approval ever!
This is all nonsense.

7. Yeah, 80% approval
80% of America can't wait to vote for her.
That's why she trails McCain in many polls, even in blue states.

12. No, I but I am not an idiot either.
Only an idiot would think that 80% of America approves of Hillary Clinton.

20. Out of his butt.
I like how the OP is titled "Hillaryhate" but somehow we are talking about Bill's approval numbers. Is he running for a third term?

28. McCain is running as a Bush clone
and brags that the Iraq war can go on for 1000 years, and it is fine with him.

The Republicans are toast no matter what.

with charges of being a Republican (projection, much?)

25. I saw it. It was revolting. Tweety finally came out and said Bill would be sharing the presidency.
He is without shame. The media is promoting this CRAP,and I'm so tired of it, but also of people jumping on the bandwagon, even people here.

Did you watch the Daily Show last night? John Stewart ripped the media apart with how they are creating the story of the supposed 'explosive wars' between the campaigns.

He also did a great piece showing how gross and ridiculous the media has been with their Hillary hating.

I beg people to please STOP tearing her and the former Pres. apart. She could be our nominee. Make any political argument, but to keep calling her an unlikeable woman 'everybody' hates, and a liar, or keep saying Bill will really be president, it will risk our chances.

Honestly, there are some Democrats and people here who I believe would rather see us LOSE than have a woman as president.

Please don't write me with your "i don't oppose a woman, i just don't want THAT woman" BS.

27. "I don't oppose a woman, I just don't want THAT woman" BS
Just because someone doesn't like Hil doesn't mean they necessarily wouldn't vote for a woman. What a silly statement.

29. It is BS. The hatred. She isn't Condoleeza Rice for gods sake! She isn't the devil.
I would never make that statement about Obama. People aren't saying that about him if he's not their candidate, because the hatefulness of it would reek of insincerity and thinly veiled racism.

And that's what that sort of Hilary hating is, thinly veiled sexism. Democrats HATE her? She's so UNLIKEABLE? Any woman but THAT woman?! Such vitriol reeks of woman hating, not rational political opinion.

So, yes, give me a break and don't waste my time.

33. I don't appreciate liberals expressing outright HATRED of her. It's sexist.
What other Dem candidate gets such attacks? None.

35. Outright hatred? No. Sexist? Grasping at straws.
I don't like the way she triangulates, and I don't like their dirty, do-anything campaign. Are you racist since you are not backing Obama? Probably not, and I won't paint you as such to satisfy any argument. Thank you and good night.

38. And no, I don't hate Hil, but don't like her as a candidate
I do, however, like a couple of western Governors, who are ladies, as VP candidate should Obama or Edwards win. I would then almost certainly want either one to go on to the Presidency, provided they do a good job as VP.
