Is Barack Obama the New Bill Clinton?

When Obama supporters are asked why they chose their man they offer up a word salad including “hope,” “change,” “courage,” and “inclusiveness” only slightly less substantive than the candidate’s actual speeches. Interestingly, if you ask an old Bill Clinton fan what was great about Bubba you’ll get the same response.

Ask most supporters of any political candidate and you get similarly substantive responses. That is simply the current nature of our society and our political discourse. It does not set Obama supporters apart from supporters of Clinton, Edwards, Huckabee, McCain, Giulani, Romney, etc.

What is a Clinton hater? How does one define the term?

One who hates the Clintons.

Is this someone who unfairly slimes the Clintons?

That would be a symptom.

Could it also be an Orwellian term originated by the Clinton propagandists to slander anyone who criticizes them regardless of the evidence?

You mean something like BDS?

They learned from the master himself how to destroy anyone who gets in their way.

Again this does little to differentiate between candidates and less to differentiate between parties. BTW as a smear merchant Alinsky pales in comparison to Atwater.
