The Brutal Assault on Hillary’s Integrity Is The Gender Barrier Manifested

..."227 years. That’s how long the shutout of women has lasted at the pinnacle of American politics. Along comes Hillary Clinton, one of the most admired and accomplished women in the world, to run for president, and what happens? She is smeared, lied about, assailed, impugned, her character is savaged, her honesty maligned, her very humanity questioned.

She is vilified as a witch, a bitch, shrill, loud, robotic, cold, monstrous, evil, a murderer.

Hordes of online trolls swarm her supporters and surrogates, spewing filthy, misogynistic insults.

She is attacked by Republicans, by the media, by the commentariat, and by her Democratic rival Bernie Sanders, who does this (according to Mother Jones):

'Hey, I’m not saying she’s a crook. I’m just saying she drives a pretty nice car, amirite?' I’d say that Sanders is very much questioning the integrity of Clinton herself, and doing it in a pretty familiar way.

And all these attacks have one thing in common: ZERO EVIDENCE."

after every debate the Bernie supporters come here and rip Hillary to shreds. Very nice to see a thread supporting her. Thank you!

One poster just wrote "she can go fuck herself with a brick." In GD .

It's just over the top and wrong.

Everyone needs to breathe, if I may borrow a line from Rafael Cruz.

Knowing full well it would be allowed to stand.

GD is a fever swamp.

"Kindly go fuck yourself with a brick."

I'll remember that one. The masks have come off.

And it withstood a hide. GDP, and DU, has hit a new low.

I'm alerting again that this is allowed to stand. I was on the jury. this is what DU has become because of the Fubared jury system. Anything like this against what should be TOS should be disallowed.

There are few things worse you can do to another human than to take their life’s work, their achievements, their goals and dreams, their mistakes and judgments, their failures and successes and TRASH all of it with unsubstantiated, unfounded insinuations.

With respect to "'Hey, I’m not saying she’s a crook. I’m just saying she drives a pretty nice car, amirite?", that is SO dead-on.

I guess Bernie "I've never run a negative campaign in my life" Sanders has gone the way of Bernie "If I ever ran as a Democrat I'd be a hypocrite" Sanders.
