34. But there is all this bullshit about her running for office.

She didn't even say she was running for office. She said she wouldn't rule it out, more or less.

So a portion of DU starts jumping down her throat about her working for a hedge fund.

But she's not running for fucking office!!!

It's utter DU bullshit. Demonizing a person who is not running for office is bullshit.

This whole thing started with a post of her picture the other day. She is very attractive. I don't know what's going on, but that's when the demonizing began.

Why? It is so destructive that I do not understand what I can only call hatred of all things Chelsea.

Why? Why???? Fucking why????????

What did she do that brings this kind of hatred? DU was worse than Limbaugh calling her a dog. Shame on them. Nobody deserves that.

At long last. Where is their sense of decency? Apparently some DUers have none.
