Yes (1.00 / 0) (#6)

And fighting illary is NOT the answer. Figting Republicans is. And seems incapable of doing that.

Everyone, Democratic and Republican is fighting Hillary

digby:

I don't know if anyone's noticed, but George W. Bush is being disappeared from the presidential campaign and everyone's running against incumbent Hillary Clinton. Subtly, but relentlessly, the public psyche is being prepared to deny Junior ever existed. And it could work. For many different reasons, most Americans want nothing more than to forget George W. Bush was ever president. So, we see a very odd subliminal narrative taking shape in which the blame for the nation's failures of the last seven years is being shifted to Clinton (and the "do-nothing" Democratic congress) as if the Codpiece hasn't been running things since 2000.

The inevitability campaign has its drawbacks.

You don't think it has anything to do with the fact that she is not a man?

Lower life forms often reveal unspoken fear of the elite:

If we took away women's right to vote, we'd never have to worry about another Democrat president. It's kind of a pipe dream, it's a personal fantasy of mine, but I don't think it's going to happen. And it is a good way of making the point that women are voting so stupidly, at least single women.

You don't think that this has to do with Hillary?

Bottom line: I don't think that it is just because she is a frontrunner.

I think it is part of it (none / 0) (#12)

because part of the entire hillary personna for 15 years has been so wrapped up in the men who hate her.

but I tink Geek's point is also valid - it is part of being the frontrunner. The exact lines of attack are very much a form of sexism.
