| 37. They call her a whore, come on. Democrats - or so it would seem. |

she's not my first choice, but to say there isn't unbridled hatred of her on display here on DU by a certain segment is to have one's head in the sand. I saw it in 03/04 directed toward Kerry - who was also not my first choice. There were influxes of new DUers in the run up to and during the primaries, contingents that sprung up to support this or that candidate, and slime and trash at every opportunity said candidate's most realisitic rival.
The hatred for Hillary on this board has sickened me. The venom spewed toward her - sometimes I feel like I'm on fr.
btw, she's said she regretted her vote, that's good enough for me at this point - Edwards voted for it also, but uses the word "apologize" instead of "regret." I knew the attack on Iraq was BS from the get go, but I do believe our Representatives and Senators were lied to during the run up. Either Hillary voted for the IWR knowing bush would shock and awe Iraq to death, or she was lied into voting for it. Knowing who'd be doing the lying, I'll take Hillary's word for now.
