Hillary Clinton
Related: About this forumWhat does "HRH" mean?
It's suddenly everywhere. I assume it's meant to be derogatory.
Thanks.

(6,354 posts)Typically a sign of respect in monarchies. Not sure how you're seeing it being used but depending on context, could be derogatory I guess. sarcastic maybe ?

(38,437 posts)It's a play off of HRC, but with nasty overtones.

(6,995 posts)That work is manifesting itself in the overwhelming support of her political peers and across the political and demographic spectrum. It is envious of that support and would deign to shame Hillary's supporters to instead "crown" Bernie as the Righteous and Truthful.

(9,494 posts)Based on the dislike that his fellow Senators have for him, several ex wives, a child out of wedlock and his general lack of friends, "Persona Non Grata" is the perfect nick name for the egomaniacal grouchy guy.

(13,257 posts)It's part of a r/w attack campaign begun just prior to Hillary announcing. It means "Her Royal Highness" and was part of r/w, street artist Sabo's twitter campaign (#)mybirthright attacking the Clintons, Democrats in general and Hillary specifically:
Accusations that the Clinton family are trying to create a new American political dynasty manifested as the hashtag #MyBirthRight, playing on royal family and Game of Thrones tropes to garner 3,000 tweets. The hashtag was promoted by the self-proclaimed Republican street artist Sabo, who was already flysheeting Los Angeles with posters mocking Queen Hillary and her upcoming coronation. SNL also had their turn on Saturday night, with a parody of how the taping of Clintons first video would likely go (see below).

For those not familiar with Sabo:
For instance, on black people:

WHY IS IT AMERICA IS THE ONLY COUNTRY WHERE BLACKS CANT SPEAK THEIR GIVEN LANGUAGE? COULD IT BE THE DEMOCRATS WANT THEM MISUNDEREDUMACATED?

He's also responsible for the Wendy Davis; "abortion Barbie" campaign:
Sabo, the moniker for an anonymous, L.A.-based, conservative artist, is best known for his execution of guerrilla marketing campaigns against the left using subversive street posters. And this week, he fired another salvo.
<div>
Greeting the Texas congresswoman on the streets of L.A. were posters plastered on signal boxes and hung from power lines which read:
Hollywood Welcomes Abortion Barbie Wendy Davis
The term Abortion Barbie in reference to Davis is not new. The phrase was first coined by Red State editor Erick Erickson last year in a tweet and subsequent article decrying Davis for running on the issue of abortion while pleading ignorance to the case of Kermit Gosnell, the abortion doctor who was convicted of murdering three infants born alive during abortion procedures.
When Davis was initially described by Erickson as Abortion Barbie, the term was universally reviled by the left. Over time, however, the name stuck, much to the chagrin of the Davis campaign.
Edit to add: Here's an article from the Atlantic, March 2015, that exposes and explains some of the organizations and "individuals" and their campaign strategies against Hillary; the use of focus groups and "floating trial balloons," etc.:
Among the Hillary Haters
Can a new, professionalized generation of scandalmongers uncover more dirt on the Clintonswithout triggering a backlash?
<snip>
Unlike the nastiest Obama hatredwhich is typically rooted in a fear of the Other (black, with an Arabic middle name, product of a mixed marriage)Clinton disdain had a strange kind of intimacy. It was like hating a sibling who was more popular, more successful, more beloved by your parentsand always getting away with something. Tyrrell felt he knew the Clintons, because hed gone to college with so many Clinton types: draft dodgers, pot smokers, 60s brats. They were the most self-congratulatory generation in the American republic, he tells me. And it was all based on balderdash! They are weak! The weakest generation in American history!
<snip>
Tyrrell knows that these new, younger reporters and investigators understand the insatiable appetite for Clinton gossip, and have a sense of what makes a good story. He also recognizes that they have some skills he lacks, such as pushing an item out on social media to help it go viral. Theoretically, he should be able to slip into a comfortable retirement knowing that Clinton disdain has landed in fresh, capable hands. But he cant, because he also knows that this new generation sorely lacks a sense of history, a true grasp of how the Clintons fit into the whole Baby Boomer nightmare of sexual peccadilloes, lack of regard for the truth, and inability to heroically stand up for anything.

If she runs for president in 2016as all evidence suggests she willHillary Clinton will face something more like a vast right-wing conglomerate. This time around, the groups will be well funded, solidly professional, and thoroughly integrated into the party establishment. America Rising, which employs more than 50 people, is a new opposition-research group thats preparing a Clinton strategy for the Republicans far in advance of the campaign. It sends trackers with portable video cameras to all her events, in hopes of catching a gaffe, and uses polling and focus-group research to determine ways to define her before she has a chance, once again, to define herself. The Free Beacon has its own research division and a war room for what it calls combat journalismmost of it, recently, directed at Clinton. The small but busy Stop Hillary PAC is putting together a grass-roots coalition that aims (as its name suggests) to ensure Hillary Clinton never becomes president. Citizens United, the group that won the Supreme Court case allowing a flood of new campaign spending, is producing a movie about Clintons performance as secretary of state, focusing on whether she did enough to protect the U.S. Embassy in Benghazi, where militants killed the U.S. ambassador to Libya and three other Americans in 2012. Americans for Prosperity, a group funded by the Koch brothers, turned its conference last August into a forum for a wide range of Hillary bashing.
