What is the root of most of the Hillary hating on DU? [View All]

I use to hate Dean for no good reason. Later on I realized the only reason I use to dog him was because he was a threat to my candidate Clark. I now love Dean and feel genuine regret for many of the nasty things I said about him. Now Hillary is not my first choice but I find the Hillary bashing is out of control and I really think it's less about her politics and more about her being the one who may prevent everyones favorite candidate from become President. I found myself saying some nasty things about Hillary the other day and left DU feeling like a fool. I never like myself when I say mean things about anyone and I want to apologize for writing anything mean spirited toward Hillary or anyone.

It occurred to me that I was afraid Hillary was going to knock off the candidates I prefer and that my animosity for her was born more out of fear rather than genuine outrage for anything she has done. Sure she has made some mistakes but she is human and she must be doing something right because she is doing quite well with the American public right now. Will it last? I don't know.

I can understand some anger for some of the things she has done but Bill has been for many of the same things and yet we forgive him. Many great Democrats did stupid things. Even Thomas Jefferson who's ideas were about as liberal as can be did some horrific things but we forgive those things and focus on the great things he did.

My prediction: If she wins the nomination 75% of DU will go through a grieving period for about 24 to 48 hours then Hillary will suddenly become awesome!
