Amazing how Much they HATE Hillary

As described in a previous post on this blog, I have recently written about why I believe nominating Hillary Clinton is the Deomocrat's only means of possibly losing the 2008 Presidential election. In those comments I point out how extremely polarizing Hillary is and how having her as the candidate would galvanize political opponents like nothing else could. It was not until I began searching the blogosphere for recent posts about Hillary that I learned just how right I was.

It seems amazing to me, but Anti-Hillary bloggers and web sites are more numerous and better organized than blogs and sites supporting any candidate. There is even a site that will provide you with free web hosting and publicity for your Anti-Hillary blog. The level of venom and un-adulterated hatred this woman inspires both on the Left and on the Right is mind-boggling. And that so many Democrats fail to see how making the 2008 campaign a magnet for this hatred is political suicide, frustrates me immensely.

So today, from around the blogosphere I present for your consideration what people are saying about Hillary Clinton this week:


First, to lead off with a positive, blogger Kentucky Democrat

reports that Hillary has been endorsed by Sen Evan Bayh, D IN. Does this endorsement mean anything to you or change your intention of voting for or against Hillary Clinton?

Moving on the the more numerous negative reactions that dominated my search results:

Blogger Newsalert reports that Jesse Jackson Jr. has condemned Hillary and urged people to back Obama

Does this change anyone's scorecard? More or less likely to support Hillary after Jackson's rebuke?

A rather rabid anti-tax crank takes Hillary to task over her $5,000/per child tax credit proposal at

Blogger Prisoner of Starvation writes much more eloquently about Hillary's position on Iran:

And finally, conservative religious blogger Freedom Eden blasts a comparison of Hillary to Ronald Reagan

I don't necessarily agree with any of the bloggers linked above, but having glimpsed just a bit of all the Hillary-hatred floating free around the blogosphere I am more convinced than ever that nominating Hillary is the only way the Democrats can lose in '08.
