The far right take no prisoners to establish what they want, even to the extent of attacking one of their own. One example was the 2000 prez primaries when Bush was up against John McCain in the N. Carolina primaries.

If you don't know the history, Bush's campaign team first claimed McCain was gay, his wife a drug abuser and their daughter was his black child born out of wedlock. Actually, he's not gay, his wife was taking medication for some ailment and their daughter was adopted from Bangladesh (or something like that).

When that didn't work, he was branded a womanizer. Again, he's a Repubican too (besides a war hero).

Ms. Clinton is not going to encounter anything new on the campaign front. She'll be labeled a lesbian, strident, angry, weak, indecisive, power-hungry, pinko and incompetent; whatever they feel will stick. If she were a guy, they'd use the same aforementioned list except the term "lesbian" would be replaced by "transvestite". Welcome to 21st century American politics.

Did we seque too much? Let's get back on track. Remember the video clip at the head of this thread?

"They're not "commies", they're Muslim extremists/terrorists. Communists don't believe in "God"... Muslim extremists (or any extremist for that matter) think "their" God allows them to commit horrible acts in His name..."

I believe my tongue was planted too firmly-in-cheek with my opening intro. I really meant to demonstrate that Al Jezera, heretofore perceived in the west as the mouthpiece for "extremist Muslims", showed remarkable restraint in allowing this Arab-American woman to voice her dismay over the violent acts perpetrated by Muslims in the name of religion. And as far as I could see, there weren't constant interruptions from the opposition while she spoke, something that is SOP in American talk radio.

My edit: It was actually the So. Carolina primaries in 2000.
