Why In The World Do They Call Hillary Clinton Evil?

Full disclosure.

Why exactly do you want this job again?

I am the person who originally wondered why in the world Hillary Clinton would know as much as she knows about the difficulty of the presidency and still seek the post.  I am that guy who never felt that breaking the glass ceiling was a reasonable enough reason for Hillary to seek to lead the free world while doing it.

I am fully concerned, and hardly convinced that this is the perfect person for the job.  Given the nature of our world, I'm concerned that men hate women worldwide even more than Trump does here in America.  To be effective in her role will be a challenge greater than her skill for negotiation and compromise.  Much like Barack Obama did, her uniqueness will threaten existing power structures into a greater sense of fear and loathing, and a stronger stand of opposition against her than the one they made against Obama.

I totally get the stand against Hillary for president.

What I don't understand is why there is not a legitimate substantive debate against her instead of this incessant "Evil Hillary" nonsense that is founded in nothing legitimate.

Actually, I am not confused about it all.  In the absence of substantive policy conversations, it becomes necessary, almost vital to play like The Donald and drop insults with no substance.

This is one of the nice Obama devil pics

 Insults like those that Photoshop created for the past 8 years of the Obama presidency.  When it became clear that most of Obama's policy decisions had a decidedly right wing lean to them (domestic oil production, RomneyCare 2.0, TPP), the problem with him had to be made more personality driven.

If you trust modern social media, Obama needs to complete his term as president so that he can resume his rule over the Illuminati.  Republicans might have cornered themselves into oblivion with all of the fear bating, but the downside of obsolescence is that you no longer have anything to lose.

Trump and the Trumpians are using any means necessary to win

The GOP has relegated themselves into a segmented party without a true identity.  If they have one, it now belongs to the Trumpians, supporters of Donald Trump who helped to wipe out a huge field of political competitors, by any means necessary, excluding of course by means of sharing policy, plans and details that is.

By any means necessary politics has been known to call Ted Cruz "Lying Ted" and Marco Rubio "Little Marco" for reasons we really don't need to bring up again.

By any means necessary is exactly the approach that is now being deployed against Hillary, and it' feels just like the Obama is a devil claims.

So...are women truly evil?

There really is no major effort needed to sell the notion that women are somewhat crazy and maybe even downright evil.  To levy the charge of "that evil Bitch Hillary"- which is essentially what you folks are saying about her- as a means of running off people who are already leery of women in leadership to begin with, is low-brow, by any means necessary politics.

Why do these evil charges have no merit?

If you look at the only topics that seem to lead this claim of evil, they were all done under the guidance and leadership of men who WE've conveniently forgotten or disregarded. The beef with the mass incarcerations from the Clinton years and the reverberating memories of the word "Super predator" places the blame on the president's wife...not the president himself or even Bernie Sanders who was in congress at the time and voted in favor of the crime bill too, as did many liberals.

The issue with Benghazi or even Libya disregards the fact that every decision made in both scenarios, was at the accountability of the president, not the Secretary of State who has no authority to act without presidential consent.

If Muslim minister, Louis Farrakhan, has a sincere problem with our killing of his Libyan friend Mohamar Qaddafi, he should take it up with Obama, not Hillary. But he's not.  Instead, he'd rather post videos convincing us all that Hillary must be evil because.....because.

Actually, this evil claim has no foundation for existence and needs to stop.  It is low-bar sexism at its worse, and it's an instant reflection of our unfounded fears of a women and worthy competitors. No, many of us do not feel comfortable with women in leadership, reflected in our corporate boards and our wage disparity.  For whatever reason, WE just don't think women are worthy.

WE didn't really think that black men were worthy of being president either, but two elections with an apparent rejection of white male alternatives has made it clear that the WE who decides elections is never fully reflective of US all.  Dylann Roof, Obama bashing, Black Lives Matter, Trump and now evil  Hillary claims have all revealed to US all that WE have quite a way to go on issues of gender, race and equality.

WE've never fully overcome like the song promised we would during those long arduous marches for freedom.  In reality, WE've thrown dirt over the exact issues that now make the Unites States of America the most socially divided accumulation of human beings on the planet, with money, power and influence overtaking gender and race as our key dividers.

I'm not discounting the natural demonic depiction that becomes every president eventually, or the power and inspiration of Photoshop alterations to prove our modern claims of evil.  What I am discounting is this decision to demonize Hillary simply to disqualify her in advance.  Even Obama avoided the label until after he won and suddenly posed a real threat to those who doubted that he really could win in the first place.

Obama Did It!!

Blame Obama for this one too if you must.  Two terms of a black man have made it abundantly clear that we will not simply go back to white men for fear of everything else.  WE are willing, ready and prepared to be lead by a women president, and Hillary is as thoroughly qualified for the job as ANY candidate that has run, maybe ever. Much like racism against blacks, she has had no choice but to be twice as good just to make it half as far.

What can not be ignored is that she has a history of legal issues, alongside her husband, that leave her with question marks on trustworthiness and integrity. But she also has a consistent history of working hard for children and families of America that just doesn't disappear because her opponents yell Benghazi or evil Hillary so much.

She is a woman of principle and motives, and she appears to be the best of what WE have left to choose from.  If Trump is actually able to behave so incredibly devilish throughout this campaign, and Bernie Sanders is an admitted Socialist, something so many  have long since considered evil, how exactly is it that Hillary keeps coming out on the internet as the only evil candidate remaining?

It's because she is winning, likely to win, and because she is a woman.  Just as the black man in me did not idly sit by while folks called my president a devil without cause, the father of 5 women in me does not appreciate this cheap attempt to disqualify a woman on the age old claim of being an evil witch.....or worse.

Because Hillary never ordered a hit on ambassador Stephens, or got caught cheating on Bill, this belief of her being genuinely evil comes exclusively from her gender.

I thought WE were better than this. 

Will Women Confront Today's "Legislative Daddy's"?

Hillary is currently the only woman Donald has
not tried to destroy. Is he saving it for later?
Don't republican women have a problem with this?

If resiliency is the TRUE test of mettle that helps us to determine our president, than this is actually more of a coronation then any of us knew.

What we know about American politics has been shaken to the core.  First, by two terms of a Muslim named black president, and currently by the total inability to connect the dots on what will happen tomorrow.

Will Bernie "the Socialist" Sanders really keep rising in the polls as Hillary and Trump remain the most hated and likely candidates to represent their party in a general election?

Trump gets away with being utterly offensive towards key segments of the republican electoral path while Hillary gets beaten and battered for reasons we might take years to ever agree about cause we'll be too busy beating her still.

Will she eventually get the positive impact of all the negative press that she's getting when voters have to stand in a ballot box and decide who can actually handle the rigors of the job, realizing that an adversarial media is among the greatest of all human hurdles?

Sort of.

More accurately, the press is proving themselves to be  one part journalist' and two part predators of sensationalism above substance. Like the way in which they've clung like stink to crap on the story about The Donald who dared to describe another presidential candidates facial features as a reason for her inability to preside.

Did Donald actually say that  Carly Fiorina's mean mug and pursed persona makes her less capable of leading others?

No, but I GUARANTEE you that had Donald declared such a thing about any man, the automatic question that would have followed would have been:

"Do you feel that his facial features will hinder his ability as a president"

That question never came. During the interview or in post interview analysis of what he said or what he meant while trying to clean it up.

What also didn't happen....again, is the expected drop in poll numbers that would connect the dots between the behavior and the response that says Americans, primarily republican American women, care about electing a misogynistic president.

Did I just call out republican women?

Actually, all women- including my wife and 5 daughters and my momma, and grandma- are unfortunately squarely in my line of sight today because the more and more we really take a true examination of the REAL war on women (and it is a real war, rather you like it or not), some of the combatants are lobbing grenades at themselves from both sides of the battlefield.

Sorry ladies.  I say this with all of the due respect and humility that a male feminist represents.  The mere notion is an oxymoron and nearly moronic if you think about it.  How can the slave master pretend to be interested in ending slavery while benefiting from free labor and idly watching the systematic brutality that insures the future of the program?

Our women are victims of men. They are victims of our inability to understand their core motivations.  Where men failed to fulfill the role of leader/provider, women have done what was necessary.  Changing your duties doesn't necessarily change your core motivations but it will expand your capacity to do what otherwise had been expected of others.

Is it proper for women to be in leadership roles?

Is Nina Turner too passionate for her own good, or is she willing
to sacrifice anything and everything for the cause of  justice?

I grew up around churches that didn't know if women could be trusted to preach (so they took over testimony service, which is now mostly gone as a result), or be trusted in pant suits similar to the style a man commonly prefers.

Today, we still don't trust women to be smart enough about their own reproductive choices.  "What makes them think we need legislative daddy's to tell us what to do. We are grown 'A' women" said former state Senator Nina Turner of Ohio on Saturday's (9-12-15) MSNBC's Melissa Harris Perry Show.

In her always passionate refrain, Turner added, "If your hair is on fire, make like your hair is on fire" responding to the tacit response that women often choose to avoid the risk of agitating the fearful masses and risking their own existence.

Her words inspired me to wonder why I always run to the television when Nina Turner speaks, but don't necessarily feel the same heat from other women who undoubtedly feel the same burn Turner has.

To be Square and fair, black folks do this towards black folks and every group of challenged individuals picks sides in the struggle to either embrace or reject their plight.

Not just black on black crime, I'm talking black on black criticism, or white looking Mexicans who denigrate those who cruise and low ride during Cinco De Mayo.  

I listened to an interview with Dr. Damon Tweedy, a black doctor who recently describe how one elderly black patient rejected him as a doctor feeling that the hospital had passed the inferior black doctor upon an unwitting black patient. (NPR interview)

Self hatred examples are ample, but y'all women really need to do some reckoning.  Not because you are the sole cause of the problem, but because you are the focus of the change. Men can Lean In, but we have to bend our posture towards the cause of happiness for the women in our world and in our lives.

We know that our drunk and disgruntled daddy can do a lot to help cure the damage of our childhoods that we carry into our adult lives, but the real work is personal.  Sometimes drunk daddy isn't ready to help you in the healing. Yet heal you must.

Women must heal themselves from misogyny by addressing the misogyny that they do to each other, as we've long since realized that women mostly dress up for each other and hardly for us guys.  In kind, women criticize each others dress and hair style while we guys obsess over the hips and curves hiding behind all of the pomp and circumstance of being a woman.

 We've always known that women are notoriously skeptical of other women relative to the issue of rape. When it comes to Bill Cosby, I don't really want to tell you the lack of universal disgust among women, even in my house.

Donald can get away with being an ass because he knows what we all need to come to grips with.  Women are as tough on women as anybody.  Maybe worse at times.

Had Hillary's assistant been Anthony Weiner and  Weiner's wife was caught sending naked pictures on a phone, goofy looking Weiner would be a hero of sorts, especially if the nude woman involved was his rather attractive wife Huma Abedin, whose nude photos would only draw criticism from other women judging the size or the amount of firmness in her breast', or the presence of stretch marks if she's had children and/or a weight control issues.

This demand to be beautiful could also be blamed on men, but it loses its impact among wise women who know that men are attracted to ALL types of women, especially confident ones.

Whether she's elected or not, Hillary is going to win in the court of public opinion just because of the perseverance she gaining vis a vis this media butt kicking she's bravely enduring .   She won't get it from The Bern, who is too nice to go there, and Joe Biden is hoping that this email thing will hurt her instead of help her as it ultimately will when it comes time to actually vote for just one of these candidates on either side of the isle.

Americans notice the attacks, but not more than the camera which has a way of focusing itself over and over upon the person who eventually gets the nod.

Is Hillary Struggling With Women Too?

Hillary not only needs to actively court the support of women, she needs to actively court the vote of black women like Michelle Obama, Nina Turner and the 6 that are in my immediate family (all will be voters in #2016).

 While a coalition of black voters can be inspired to get out and vote by the Obama voter turnout machine, who they vote for (especially in the primary races) could be a mixed bag without some necessary female guidance.  

Some aspects of that guidance will need to softly inspire that segment of society that only a soft spoken black woman can push into action. Other parts will need to go Nina Turner all over this nation to inspire those people who only listen when passionate, trustworthy black women like Nina Turner challenge you with her vision and values.  Does that represent a form of my own male self hatred?  I won't pretend not to be more cautious around a smooth talking man versus a loud but loving lady.

Does Hillary need a "blacker" woman to lead her cause?

With rugged women, you may not always like what you see but you always trust that it is real.  That is the power of what it means to be a woman, and nobody seems to harness and utilize this power better than black women. Hillary needs a couple of strong voice, dark skinned (no offense Karen Finney. we insiders know you are black) black women to get out in front for her for the sake of both the female vote and the black vote, key reasons for 8 years of Obama.

Women must harness the breadth of their power for more than just silent control of unsuspecting men. Women can force the hands of justice by simply patting out the fire in each others hair and destroying all of the matchbooks of self hatred that starts many of them.

What does that mean exactly?  Push back at Trump's polling numbers until he lets up on Fiorina, and remind all of the other legislative daddy's that Roe .v. Wade was decided by a lot of smart adults, some of which were women.

Can You Win Any Election Without Women?

Even that cute skinny comedian who did the Fat Shaming video has a reason to join this cause since she will not be young and pretty forever, however, she MIGHT decide to remain a woman since she mentioned that being a man would have made her humor more funny or  more generally accepted. (But you knew you weren't a man going into the satire that you hoped would shamefully inspire people..........huh????)

Women could insure the wage equity that they seek as well, but not without bringing along other disadvantaged people (men) in the process.

Don't assume that I see women as some monolithic conglomerate of voting sameness? Hardly!

Yet, the attack of Carly Fiorina's face is an attack on the entire gender, regardless of political bend. And the cause of gender equality is ONE.

 This was a similar revelation that Dr. Martin Luther King faced when last he marched on earth.  How do we fight for the conditions (via policy) that impact blacks the most without fixing the greater impact on poor people as a whole?

How can ONE woman rise above beauty as a pre-requisite if so many other women tacitly support these trappings of beauty and popularity?

You can't do it, so don't try.
