9. is the term "hillary hatred" EVER given rest?
why do you people insist on disagreement with her policies on the 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"?

you don't, because then you'd have to debate the issue like an adult, and bring in evidence that she is NOT supporting the Iraq war and furthering aggression into Iran. You don't want to do that, because you'd lose.
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 you EVER going to stop the ritual shaming and actually start debating?

Can you defend, in argument, HRC's stand re: Iraq and IRan?
