It's Standard [Attribute] Victimization

This is just a page from Hillary's book. If you took a swipe at her, it was latent misogyny. The criticism was because she was a womyn, blah, blah, blah.

Obama has dealt with it in much the same way. Criticism of him comes from him being black.

It the national way these days, and is more than a little tiresome.

You can criticize Obama without being a hood wearing klansman and you can criticize Hillary without wishing to see her barefoot and chained to your stove.

But we're hypersensitive to this shit these days, and it works.

It's annoying as all hell, but it works.
