On my blog RedHogDiary.com I have a commenter who has normally been a frustration when I advocate my progressive patriotic positions but we seem to be in agreement on one thing. Hillary Clinton. There is a side to Hillary that has been ignored in this campaign that needs some serious light. I thought it appropriate to share this conservative’s comment:
“Consider this from Dee Dee Myers in an ABC interview: Anybody that stood up and tried to say this was a bad idea was, you know, smashed down and belittled, very personally,” Myers revealed. “And I mean where I said the president didn’t really attack people personally, Mrs. Clinton sometimes did.” The one-time Clinton spokeswoman said that White House staffers lived in fear of the first lady because her attacks sometimes wouldn’t end when her temper tantrums subsided. White House counsel Abner Mikva was so incensed over Mrs. Clinton’s conduct that he resigned after one profanity-laced upbraiding by the first lady. Another Clinton biographer, Gail Sheehy — who has spent hours with the first lady since the 1992 campaign — wrote that Clinton seemed to be “in a perpetual state of suspended anger.” Once Hillary even tried to kick an Arkansas state trooper bodyguard who got in her way, according to Clinton biographer Christopher Andersen. And one-time White House FBI agent Gary Aldrich reported in 1996 that junior White House staffers were ordered not to make eye contact with the first lady lest they anger her."
And the disconnect in that documented behavior is that if Hillary has historically shown contempt for White House staff and subordinates how much compassion can she really have for what she describes as “voiceless Americans.” You don’t treat the people around you like crap and suddenly find compassion for faceless strangers. That just doesn’t make sense.
