Because it's no worse than Obama got over the "bitter" nonsense and certainly not worse than the guilt by association attacks via Wright.

I've noticed a key difference in the reaction of the camps on this though. Obama bore the attacks, and pulled through, not always with the best response at the time, but he certainly survived, without playing any victim cards (even though there was an obvious large dose of racism involved with the Wright nonsense.) Meanwhile Hillary's (or more specifically her supporters) strategy seems to be scream about sexism and the evil media being mean to them.

Now onto point #2: This type of crap will come in the GE obviously. Now who would you rather have responding to it based on previous record?
