The normalization of hate, lying and racism has deeply saddened me [View all]

The irrational loathing and smearing of Hillary Clinton is part of this atrocity. Facts have lost currency. Lies and smears have gained an edge.

Even if you hate Hillary Clinton, you have to admit that 99% of the crap thrown at her was false. So how far from that effort is the effort to smear blacks, Jews, LGBT, Muslims, or whomever the enemy du jure may be?

It's the lies and the anti-intellectualism, and the anti-government, and whatever other irrational hatred that exists that is the real enemy.

Vote Democratic!
