Conservatism and projection
By VictorM:A few days ago I quoted a post from a right-winger claiming liberals hate George Bush. And on his blog, Kevin Drum quotes a letter from a conservative claiming that "today's Democratic Party cannot bring itself to transcend its anger. That is why Hillary will survive the Obama insurgency." Clearly, these folks continue to look beyond the true reasons for liberals pushing for change.
As Kevin Drum quite rightly points out, this is another example of projection by conservatives:
Conservatives tend to be so blinded by their hatred for Hillary that they're convinced that her liberal supporters are also motivated by hatred. But they aren't. Among activist liberals, Hillary is mostly viewed as as smart and hardworking, but also triangulating and mainstream. She's the candidate of caution and moderation, not the candidate of the haters. The anti-Clinton fever swamp protests too much.
