But I never thought to ask why. _Why_ was she so absolutely loathed by so many? Why did such deep hatred start? It was more than the usual political mudslinging, no?

Interesting seeing this question coming from you of all people, when you started the following Pit thread about Hillary right here on these boards:

> **Hillary Rodham Clinton, you are an insensitive sow**. When every other politician has managed to put aside partisan considerations, you cling to parochial agendas. When your country is crying, you can’t, for a second, speak from the heart, show emotion, or let down your guard.
> 
> **Hillary Rodham Clinton, you are a bitch**. The other guests on Larry King (senators just like you) answered openly and candidly. They shared their hearts and grief with the World. You evaded the questions. You segued into vacuous political gibberish. You wouldn’t deign to answer honestly, at a time when honesty and candor are the balms for a wounded people.

> **Hillary Rodham Clinton, you are a condescending asshole**. When asked if there might be, perhaps, some way for Rudy Giuliani to be re-elected, did you not sense that you were really being asked to share in the joy of finding a hero in our midst, in the midst of the horror? How could you piss so hard and so long on one of the few bright spots in all this bleakness? How dare you.

> Hillary Rodham Clinton, you alone appeared sullen tonight during your President’s speech. Your begrudging, perfunctory applause was more suited to some pissed-off fourteen year old forced to go with their parents to the symphony, than one who aspires to lead millions. Leadership means making sacrifices, Hillary. It means putting the greater good above your own wants.

> **Hillary Rodham Clinton, I think I may be beginning to understand where Bill’s penchant for fine cigars and messy blow jobs came from. Intimate contact with another living, breathing, passionate human must have sure been tempting.**

If you read the responses, even **Sam Stone** thought your bashing of Hillary was way over-the-top.
