criticism of Hillary is often in bad faith
it reminds me of the pre-Obama days, when that was often the case with most criticism here of Democrats, in particular Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi.
Just now with her comments on Ferguson, I was surprised by how strong they were. From what I can tell, they were among the strongest comments from any Democrat.
Of course other people could come to a different judgement, but the way it looks to me is that the criticism was not because of what she said, but because of how the critics already felt about her. This is something that Obama critics are often accused of, but I don't think that's true, except for a very small number of people. The ones on DU have been banned, correctly.
I'm talking about criticism from the left by the way. Criticism from the right is in total bad faith. Obama's whole presidency has been him dealing fairly with the GOP and the GOP refusing to give him any credit.

And not just "often" but "mostly". It's OK for a Dem to dislike Hillary and to decide not to vote for her, but the only way (so the Dem thinks) to get other people on board to vote for their candidate is to criticize her. Even that would be OK but lacking legitimate criticism they make stuff up, usually just personal attacks, sometimes opinions that just are not justified, occasionally lies.
