Why are the Freepers so OBSESSED with Hillary?

[geek tragedy]

I stopped by NRO's The Corner (don't worry, I showered afterwards). Those people are pathologically consumed with a need to talk about Hillary this, Hillary that.

I don't get it.

1. Because women have their "place"

and she's smarter and stronger and more outspoken than they like their women to be.

[geek tragedy]

4. But so are a dozen other Dem women.

Hell, even Liddy Dole is too emancipated for their caveman liking.

They believe the Clinton's are the masterminds of some vast conspiracy to control the planet. It's just bizarre.

9. The Clintons' vast conspiracy.

At this point, I almost wish it were true. It couldn't be much worse than whatever's being conspired in Washington right now.

10. Bill and Hillary Clinton to the wingnuts

Are enduring symbols of the culture wars that the conservatives lost in the 60's and 70's.

Bill refused to go kill poor, southeast Asian farmers, Hillary refused to stay at home and bake cookies. Because of this, the conservatives will always have irrational hatred for them.

Throw in the fact that every time either one of them locks horns with a Repuke in an election, the Repuke gets his ass kicked, and it's enough to give them apoplectic fits.

It's especially galling for a macho man wingnut to know that his guy "got beat by a girl."

18. I agree IT'S ALL ABOUT THE 60s

2. Hillary is just a symbol to them.

She symbolizes outspoken, successful women. They don't want any of THAT!

[Sandpiper]

3. Because she's not a Stepford Wife

And refused to live in her husband's shadow.

5. clintons

they are stuck on everything clinton

8 years must have really brainwashed the tards

From what I can tell, most of them think Bill Clinton is running for the 2004 election.

8. Goes to show how afraid they are of a successful

DEM presidency! :shrug:

[aden_nak]

6. 'Cause she makes them randy and they don't know why.

[skypilot]

7. Laura Bush...

...is their idea of the ideal First Lady. Quietly standing behind her man while giving White House tours,reading to school children and dutifully hitting the campaign trail when Whistleass's poll numbers are falling.

[Dulcinea]

11. She's what they fear most.

A strong, smart, gutsy woman who won't sit down & shut up, who just might be President one day!

A GIRL as Prez?! Can't have that!!!

[leesa]

12. Because these people believe whatever the RNC tells them and

they tell them to hate Hillary. They don't know why either. They never engage their brains so everything is accepted on faith. How else could you explain these cretins not realizing how corrupt and evil the Bush Crime Family is. It's why so many Fundies are such easy marks, they don't think, just believe.

[goddess40]

13. They are afraid that she might actually be electable

I, sadly, don't think so to many sexist people even in our beloved party for that to happen.

[Bronco69]

14. If you'll notice Hillary seems to be a bigger threat to them

than even Bill is. Why? Because they know that Bill has served his 2 terms and can't be elected again. Now the focus is on Hillary to keep her from running for a higher office than Senator.

[CO Liberal]

15. They're Afraid of Anyone Smarter Than Them

Especially a powerful, self-confident woman like Hillary.

[Zolok]

16. When you mix reaction-formation

and chronic masturbation together you get this sort of pathological resentment every time.
It is the same with the news corpse...she makes the Tucker Carlsons of the media feel...inadequate so they spark up with the snarky put downs like the frustrated nerds they are.

17. It's a fund raising thing

they keep talking about how Hillary is actually going to run for President, etc. Their base has an irrational hatred for Hillary (who ironically was in the Young Republicans during college).

Same for homophobia - big money maker for them.
