Hillary gets anti-vitriol vote

Jim Barbieri’s anti-Hillary diatribe (Sept. 21) is a classic: Devoid of evidence and long on vitriol. I have no idea what kind of president Clinton would become if it came to that; the proof of the pudding as they say. She would certainly do no worse than George W. Bush, who took us to war, ran up the national debt and gave terrorists everywhere an eternal recruiting tool against America and Israel.

What I do know is that today one cannot use an ethnic slur in public. But every woman in America can still be called a “bitch” publicly. Case in point: In 2008, a woman asked Sen. John McCain, in public and with TV cameras running, “So how do we beat the bitch?”

Clinton has taken this all her adult life for all the women I know: mother, aunts, sisters, cousins, friends. Therefore, if it comes down to it, I will vote for her because I owe her one, and for the sheer volume of toxic acid she releases in the guts of her haters, and how it must be eating up their intestines and souls.
