232. Now I Get It Hillary Is Not Allowed To Campaign
When Clinton was speaking of sniper fire in Bosnia the Obama campaign hammered her, when Bill Clinton made statements in South Carolina that could have been interpreted differently the Obama campaign pounced, insinuating Clinton was a racist. They send supporters to question Chelsea about Monica Lewinsky (even the Republicans never did that) and that's acceptable, Obama supporters call those of us who do not support him "racist and stupid", its rhetoric like that which divides the party, not Clinton campaigning.

Had it been Hillary Clinton calling people "bitter", "clinging to guns and religion", or "anti-immigrant" the Obama campaign would have attacked her mercilessly, and it would have been just fine with the Obama supporter. The hypocrisy from the Obama side of this campaign is quite unbelievable. These are people who once staunchly defended the Clinton's when they were being investigated and harassed by the right, unfortunately the defenders have now become the attackers. But as we are told in Obamaland it is the Clinton's who are dividing the party, it is the Clinton's who are bad, it is the Clinton's, Clinton's, Clinton's.

The fantasy the Obama supporter has created for themselves is a world where Obama is almost "saintly", where everyone else is evil, where everyone else lies, where everyone else is ignorant because they do not see what they see. In Obamaland there must be a reason why others do not see the "glow of this majestic man", that has been reasoned to be racism or stupidity. One thing has become quite clear to me in this campaign that is there isn't much difference between the right and the left when it comes to attacking the Clinton's, except that the right hasn't been hypocritical about it.
