"What is it with the Hillary cult?
As a lifelong Democrat who will be enthusiastically voting for Bernie Sanders in next week’s Pennsylvania primary, I have trouble understanding the fuzzy rosy filter through which Hillary fans see their champion. So much must be overlooked or discounted—from Hillary’s compulsive money-lust and her brazen indifference to normal rules to her conspiratorial use of shadowy surrogates and her sociopathic shape-shifting in policy positions for momentary expedience.
Hillary’s breathtaking lack of concrete achievements or even minimal initiatives over her long public career doesn’t faze her admirers a whit. They have a religious conviction of her essential goodness and blame her blank track record on diabolical sexist obstructionists. When at last week’s debate Hillary crassly blamed President Obama for the disastrous Libyan incursion that she had pushed him into, her acolytes hardly noticed. They don’t give a damn about international affairs—all that matters is transgender bathrooms and instant access to abortion."

Paglia has it nailed. When I ask my liberal family members what they think of Hillary’s lawbreaking they say, “But that’s what all the male politicians do!! She has to do it too!!” Okaaayyyyyy....... so now she’s just like the guys!
Hillary’s cult...in a word - Satanic.
The way the article should read:
“As a lifelong Democrat who will be enthusiastically voting for Bernie Sanders in next week’s Pennsylvania primary, I have trouble understanding.”
End it right there.
Camille Paglia? Salon??
They must really love socialism so much that they think they would prefer Bernie to HilLIARy
Despite all the hype, Clinton still can’t draw much of a crowd anywhere. She might get a few thousand here and there, but I’ve never seen where she could even compete with the average Sanders rally. Trump can draw thousands to a rally announced just one or two days in advance. I can easily see Trump having rallies of 50,000+ routinely during the general election while Clinton struggles to get 10,000.
The socialist-loving scumbag has reservations NOW about the former sociopath of state, the totalitarian? Hillaryous, chameleon.
Hillary really has a Nixon fixation, something Puglia mentions here, too. In 1973, Hillary was working on a congressional committee to write a law prohibiting Nixon’s secret meetings with his “kitchen cabinet,” the Federal Advisory Committee Act. In 1993, she was sued for violating that very statute by meeting with her secret health care task force. Her response was to shred, shred, shred, even as a federal judge was ordering the production of health care task force documents, some of which only recently were released in the Clinton Presidential Library. She is obsessed with secrecy and covering her tracks!! And, not very smart, after all. Just sly, sneaky, and criminal. What’s to admire?
That's what my democrat dad always says about republicans whenever democrat politicians are caught in some crime.
Ooooh, goody, Camille!!
I've had two pairs of Bernie canvassers come to my door and ask me if I was going to vote for Bernie. I got why? when I said no. I said that socialism killed heading on to a hundred million people in the last hundred years and that I didn't think we needed any extra death.
Wow!
I have these exact thoughts!
You might have to go back to Plato to find another person who is so brilliant and so deplorably stupid at the same time.
Or perhaps it’s [the hilary cult] just a neo-pagan reversion to idolatry...”
THIS is an exceptionally shrewd insight by Paglia, and I think, an (unintentional) application of Biblical wisdom. Spot on!
(as is socialism, incidentally...really a form of belief in magic)

I take it as proof that the devil is among us.
the clintoons are a manifestatin of just how totally corrupt our “justice” system is...
rape and assault..... nothing happens
they launder money... nothing happens
they defraud investors ... nothing happens
they leave dead bodies behind... nothing happens
lately she commits 10+ serious national security felonies.... waiting.......
What was Plato’s Hillary-is-a-terrible-evil-person-so-I-am-voting-for-the-other-terrible-evil-person moment? Thanks.

you are absolutely right. but look at the attendance at Romney rallies toward the end of the 2012 campaign. Also, look what happen to Bernie in New York in spite of the big turnout at his rally. voter fraud and real voter disenfranchisement will be full throttle by the demoncrats when November rolls around. hopefully, Trump and co. will have plenty of lawyers to challenge the shenanigans that will be used to assure Hilliarity’s ascension to the throne.
