Yeah thats it they are calling her crook and liar and lock her up ONLY because shes a woman.
Feminists here to see Hillary Clinton become the first major-party female presidential nominee worry that the historic sound of her breaking what she calls “the hardest glass ceiling’’ is being drowned out by insults — “Liar!” “Crook!’’ and worse.“We always knew this would happen to the first woman,’’ says Eleanor Smeal, a founder of the modern U.S. feminist movement. “She would have to be the most qualified, and she would be the most vilified.’’
And now, "she alone is catching all the crap — all the sexism, all the misogyny,'' said Terry O'Neill, president of the National Organization for Women.
Clinton has been vilified from the bright floor of the Republican convention — where delegates repeatedly chanted “Lock her up!’’— to the dark side of Twitter. There, some detractors have moved from casually calling her a five-letter word beginning with “b’’ to a four-letter one beginning with “c.’’
In his convention speech, Ben Carson linked Clinton to Lucifer. In a radio interview, a New Hampshire state legislator said that because of her inaction during the attacks on U.S. diplomats in Benghazi, she should be shot for treason.
Whatever the impact of such vitriol, Clinton’s achievement seems less acclaimed than Barack Obama’s eight years ago.
