For years during the Clinton administration Republicans not only attacked Bill Clinton, but they made some of the most nasty and neverendingly rude and insulting comments about Hillary Clinton, and even Chelsea Clinton. I remember being amazed over and over at Rush Limbaugh, Bill O'Reilly, and all the others, even Republicans I know personally who picked up and delighted in these unfair and cruel insults of a sitting President, the first lady, and the first daughter.

Thinking they were slinging mud that would stick to Bill Clinton forever they piled on to the point that it finally just lost all its power. Everyone had heard it so much that they just got bored of it and ignored it. You can see them trying all over the country still. In radio talk shows vitriolic people call in to talk about how they hate Hillary Clinton for multiple reasons, but all these reasons are really personal attacks. They just do not have the shock or the force they used to.

Why? Because now after 16 years of this kind of abuse and undermining of the democratic process, the Republicans have made people immune to Hillary Clinton criticism. They have nothing left to say. We have all heard it all before, and we see someone running for president who has had to bear the weight of this kind of unfair attack for so long that even her worse enemies have a grudging respect for her though they would never admit it.
