Hillary Clinton Hate

I don't get why so many people hate Hillary Clinton, but my best guess is that it comes down to sexism. They hate her for being frigid, but when she has an emotional moment, they hate her for being either too calculating _or_ too emotional. Some idiot in the press corps said, "Is this how she'll deal with Kim Jong Il?" Yeah, of course, just like George W. Bush read "My Pet Goat" to him. The moron on the morning talk show here can't resist referring to her as a bitch, and he said when women wear a pants suit to a wedding, they look like Hillary Clinton. WTF? Is this all just about powerful women making men feel uncomfortable? I saw the theory somewhere that aside from the most odious racists, it doesn't bother your garden variety racist if a few non-whites manage to make good, and most people in the mainstream are more put off than not by racist statements against Barack Obama. However, sexism by its nature has to be more insidious. Men and women live and work together, and if one powerful woman who actually has a shot at the presidency makes men nervous, how must they feel about women who are their bosses, or their coworkers who do the same work they do?

I don't get any of this. The stuff I'm describing is foreign to me. I'm an Obama supporter, but I do understand women voting for Clinton just to see this finally happen. Mostly, I think the idea of having a woman and a minority be serious contenders in the race, and still a middle-aged or old white man winning is very depressing.
