Why does the far right hate Hillary so much?

[Poiuyt]

I'm not talking about the progressive left here. But there are many, many Republicans who just absolutely hate her. I would think they would applaud a more moderate Democrat. What is it about her that generates so much hatred from the Republicans? There has to more than just the fact that she's a woman.

BTW, if she is our nominee, I worry that a lot of people will come out to vote for the Repub candidate, just to keep her out of office.

1. Does the far right love any of our candidates?...n/t

[book_worm]

No, but they get even more crazy about Hillary--and Bill, too.

It's the Clinton name for some reason.

12. If Hillary doesn't get the nom..

you will see crazy hatred for whomever it is that does from the far right. Bank on it.

2. Because she's a female doing what they think is a male-only role. eom

3. The far right will obligingly hate anyone they've been

given permission to hate. It's part of their psychological makeup. They hated Earl Warren in the 1950s. They hated the Russians in the 60s and 70s. They hated the hippies (still do). They will hate anyone their preachers and pundits identify as useful targets.

Fortunately, they are a minority.

4. Ask them. The one's I've asked can just sputter.

They don't even know. They've been told to hate her and they do.

The GOP thinks that by attacking moderates as being too liberal, the real liberals will be discounted as quacks.

5. 'Cause she's no longer a Goldwater republican maybe?

[YOY]

6. Because she'll do the job the way a "conservative" should and most likely do it well.

just like her husband.

7. They are trained like Pavlov's dogs to do so. She's great for their fundraising efforts.

I don't care for HRC, but I do think the RRR's are way over the top with her.

13. Rush Limbaugh built a career on hating the Clintons..

and he's not exactly a multi-dimensional charactor.

[unpossibles]

8. (A) they've been told to repeatedly for over a decade

(B) She's a powerful woman - they also hate Pelosi, but good luck getting any of them to explain why....

(C) She's a Clinton

[EFerrari]

10. An educated, powerful woman and a Democrat

what's not to hate, in their view? They hated the Clintons while Bill was in office and now, it looks like they're back to the White House. The wingers must be having fits.

[moondust]

9. No good reason.

1) "Uppity" woman living in White House did not fit into narrow conservative 1950's mindset. 2) RW/corporate propaganda over her "socialized medicine" plan.

The rabid hate has always been irrational and may subside with increased familiarity.

11. She was married to our Democratic President

when the right wing noise machine came into full force. they're favorite target was the top Democrats. They're also threatened that she actually wanted to be a first lady that was involved and used her mind. They thought she should have baked cookies and talked about her favorite charity, not research and advise on policy.

or to sum it up.... Why does the right wing hate her? B/c Rush Limbaugh, Hannity, et. al. told them to.

[BOSSHOG]

14. PENIS ENVY

You say they hate her so much that if she gets the nomination, people will come out to vote solely to keep her out of office. If she does not get the nomination, the right wing insane will hate her even more intensely for giving them less of an opportunity to hate her intensely. And they will intensely hate whomever does get the nomination for also denying them the opportunity to hate her. In my humble opinion their all consuming hate is irrelevant to democratic party politics.

15. Oprah and Martha

I have noticed that the people I know who hate Hillary also hate Oprah and Martha.
