This is the type of OP that is stupid, useless, and only invites overblown reactions from those they pander to.
It strongly implies with a passive aggressive tone, that if you find disconcerting Hillary's positions, friends, voting record, or deafening silence on important issues like Wall Street reform, NSA civilian spying, Patriot Act, drone attacks, etc., then you must have some irrational HATRED for her.

Its called holding the front running candidates (to be) feet to the fire. Especially since it seems she is already coronated. Its not the crime you make it out to be. You joined a mostly progressive/liberal member board. This includes right of center DLC third way supporters to radical socialists. Its a big tent and unlike the GOP, maybe unfortunately in some ways, we don't all walk in lockstep and believe everything one "news" network tells us to believe. Its tougher on this side, because as free thinking liberals we LIKE to be able to have and use the freedom to expound upon our own nuances of opinion.

I imagine most everyone here that rightfully questions the motives of Hillary's positions and silences, will, even holding their noses, vote for her in the end. That doesn't mean shutting our ears, eyes, and mouths until then. Hillary should know, if she is ever aware of liberal news boards, just what concerns the base has moving forward, at the very least, so she understands that we will be watching.
