59. apparently your hatred of hatred is selective
It's all about Hillary and women. Nobody knows the troubles they've seen. Not even Jesus.

Do I hate Hillary? Yes.

Is it because she is a woman fighting for women's rights?

No, it is because she is a rich person fighting for the continued hegemony of the rich and powerful.

Have I called her sexist names, or defended other people who did so?

No, I do not believe I have done either of those, except in the sense that I do not believe "down, banshee, claws, or monster, etc." are sexist. (Perhaps wrong opinions, but I also defended Ferraro, Hillary's incidental use of the term "spadework", and Hillary's Bosnia story as an innocent mis-remembering) If Hillary had been President from 1992-2000, and done the same things as Bill, and Bill was a Senator from New York running for President, I would be attacking and opposing him just as much - as a corporate shill, as a liar, and as somebody who pretends to care about ordinary people with a record that shows that to be a lie.

Not everybody who wants her to get out, who thinks her campaign is hurting our party and our chances this fall is a misogynist.
