@snood,
Early on in this election cycle, I likened her hatred of Hillary to that of a teen-aged girl toward the rival girl who stole her boyfriend. I was roundly denounced for employing a sexist metaphor. I was just trying to explain my perception of the way over-the-top, extreme, obsessive hatred I see being expressed. It has the vendetta flavor of someone who has been personally injured. It has never made sense.

When you made the comparison some time back it wasn't sexist. It's foolish to think teens (who are really just adults with children's instincts) don't behave in childish ways.
I'll get back to this later, I was just released from the hospital and am trying to recover from pneumonia. I've never had pneumonia and didn't realize how quickly I would tire. I'm going to be fine, but I need to respect the illness so I can get rid of it. So enough of that, I yield the floor to folks who are actually discussing the topic.
