She's right she has bullies right here on the Democratic Underground http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/hillary-clinton-donald-trump_5679b055e4b06fa6887f0920?utm_hp_ref=politics

1. It is true she does deal with bullies...

...in her real life, and has done so for many years.

However, no one on DU is in any position to bully her. There may be lots of unfair criticism here, but its effects are not bullying, at least not direct bullying of Clinton. We could be said to bully each other at times, that has gotten to be pretty normal in GD_P for example. But somehow I don't think Ms. Clinton is affected by it much.

2. Hillary Rodham Clinton has been part of the

establishment for over 40 years. Get real.

3. Disagreement is not equal to being bullied.

Neither is getting busted on your bad behavior.


I don't think either Clinton considers anything said on the DU as bullying. It has no power to affect their lives. Besides which Hillary LOVES the give and take of a rowdy disagreement. With her incredible ability to hold facts in her mind and recall them she can wipe the floor with pretty much anyone. I more often disagree with her solutions to problems in my life, but the woman knows how to make her case.

Paying the piper for bad behavior or dancing at the edges of the law is what it is and that is not being bullied either. The GOP exploited it for politics but Bill and Hillary gave them the ammo. Not to mention the Clintons both have a gift for using being politically "picked on" as a marketing tool.

Now all that said, yes Hillary understands what it's like to be bullied. The most recent case was Pottygate. ABC should be ashamed of itself.
