The Irrationality of Hillary Haters

From The New York Times, Stanley Fish on those who hate Hillary. It attempts to distinguish between good and bad attacks on Hillary (good = attacks on policy, attacks on judgment; bad = hating her because she is a feminist and not a feminist). It is interesting as it attempts to dissociate between rational criticisms and irrational hatred though, some supporters of Hillary would say any criticism falls under the irrational category just as detractors of Hillary would say that their dislike is perfectly rational.

It is worth the few minutes though.
