The part in bold. This is what has bothered me about this thread. Several of the Obama supporters here have Obama painted as totally and completely perfect incapable of error in judgment. And while Hillary has essentially the same platform, these Obama supporters are willing to vote for Obama in November rather than vote for Hillary. McCain's platform is the opposite of Obama's platform.

I don't believe the media has been fair to Hillary. They have done nothing but spout negative comments about her. When Obama has had his problems, the press just accepts what he says and goes on.

Obama has charisma and lots of it. Chrisma elects people. It doesn't help govern though. It bothers me that some are so taken in by his wonderful poise and speaking abiities that they don't see the whole picture.

I know that Hillary doesn't speak the whole truth the whole time, Neither does any other candidate. I understand why some are for Obama. If I weren't for Hillary I would be too. But for the life of me, I don't understand why some just literally hate the woman. I don't mean they don't respect her or they don't like her or any of those kind of words. Some people literally hate this lady with a a complete and total vengeance.

I understand why some would hate Bush. Thousands of Americans are dead because of his ego. And America's posiiton as the undisputed superpower has been greatly compromised by this needless war. While Vietnam weakened the nation some, Iraq along with the Bush's economic policies has brought the USA close to total bankruptcy and loss of being the only superpower in the world. Many have had their personal financial word collapse because of Bush. Millions will have to work until 67 and if Bush could pull it off until 70. He wants to cut the heart out of social security, some people's only support in their elder years.

I understand hating Bush. He's done enough misery to be hated. But Hillary? Nothing she has done as a Senator warrants this kind of hate.

With nothing else on the table as the reason, I have to conclude that the hatred is based on the fact that she is a woman. Many people here in the USA both men and women despise a strong will intelligent female capable of beating out men in positions of leadership. It is predjudice pure and simple.

And I know some will bring out their old posts saying this and that. And I don't deny those posts or at least some of them are based on true facts. So far I haven't seen a post yet with enough evidence against Hillary to condemn her to be the most hated politician in American history. I just don't see it. The reason I don't see it is because that type of evidence isn't there. This hatred is based largely on opinion and personal dislike of Hillary's personality.

I know about Hillary's personality. She can rub people the wrong way easily. I was on the opposite side of HIllary on an issue in Arkansas in the 80's. I saw that then and I'm sure it is still there. But that isn't a reason to hate her.

Again, I have not said that any of Hazel and other posters are wrong with their facts in this post. That is another issue which I have posted. My point in this post is not whether she is less honest then Obama, make a better President or not than Obama and all those issues. My issue is why is there this EXTREME TOTAL HATRED THAT NOT EVEN ADOLF HITLER GETS THESE DAYS. Some people have lost all perspective on Hillary. They seem incapable of calmly discussing the woman. Just the mention of her name has their panties in such a wad that they are crying for relief from the pain. Hillary, Hillary Hillary. Tighten those panties. Hillary Hillary Hillary. I can see the excruciating pain now just from the mention of Hillary seven times in just two sentences. I would mention her name again, but I don't want to do any permanent damage.

And the funny thing about it all is I like Obama and will vote for him if Hillary doesn't get the nomination. That is a given.

Oh my. And to think this thread may never die.
