Shutting down continued discussion on issues that Clinton is flawed on is dangerous. It was important to continue discussion on issues that Obama was and is flawed on (drone bombings, deportation, etc). It was also important to continue discussion on issues that Kennedy was flawed on.

Some of the strongest hatred and mockery I’ve seen from the left for Republican politicians is directed at women, and I generally agree that they’re terrible, but I don’t think it’s a coincidence that women are selected for the strongest scorn.

Similarly, the left dubbed Sarah Palin “Caribou Barbie,” leading to an entire year where I began every other sentence with the qualifier, “don’t make me defend Sarah Palin.”
