45. More than a few months ago people started yelling like street-corner crackpots at anyone
who questioned anything about Senator Clinton. It shocked me the very first time I saw it, and I reacted so strongly to it that I apologized.

It is now clear that the plan is to crush and slash anyone with a question as a "hater" or "jealous" or any other piece of horseshit handy in order to side-step discussion, and to stomp on the questioner.
It's all par for the course now.

Defining the questioner's feelings, motivations and promptly dismissing those apparently psychically received characterizations is now a habit for some HRC supporters.

It's become as obvious as the Senator's poor accounting for herself last night. But we are told that black is white, or we can't see or hear for ourselves, or understand history, or figure out what a vote will mean when applied in the real world.

If Clinton supporters themselves are feeling so secure about Clinton's inevitability, then why sweat it? I see the inevitability message repeated here often enough. But I suspect somewhere in every Clinton fanatic there is the understanding that the record and her actions themselves are too much of a detriment to her to let the discussion go on unimpeded without emotional distraction.
