.......I live in the pulse of right wing, red neck, rural America, and I can easily testify that hate radio here has done a real job on Ms. Clinton. Almost everyone here *hates* her with an intense passion. It appears to me that it has been this way, going all the way back to when she was First Lady.

Funny thing is, I don't think anyone even knows, or can state *why* they feel that way about her; but I get the impression that it's an emotional thing that was washed into their tiny brains by everyone's favorite talk hate radio hosts. I mean, we're not dealing with people who hail from a region of this state that is known for its' intellectual prowess. So I can easily imagine what it's like in most parts of the red states.

There is a part of me that thinks it all started back when she didn't divorce Pres. Bill for his, umm revealed indiscretions.
