why do some insist that disagreement with her policies on the war and upcoming Iran war as "hatred".
Its a form of ritual shaming and marginalization of a point of view out of proportion to it context.

why not just deal honestly with the person and say "why do you think HRC is pro-war in Iraq"?

Some don't, because then they'd have to actually debate the issue, and bring in evidence that she is NOT supporting the Iraq war and furthering aggression into Iran.
Some don't want to do that, because they don't have evidence that she is not.

Instead, it becomes this childish "you're a HILLARY HATER!" and attempts to deflect valid criticism of HRC by shaming the critic rather than debating the issue.

so, the question is, are some EVER going to stop the ritual shaming and actually start debating?

Can some defend, in argument, HRC's stand re: Iraq and Iran?

or even if they don't want to defend HRC, can they give the demonizing of her critics, simply because they don't agree with her on a policy level, a rest, and simply debate?


thanks.
