             THEIR MOTIVE? PATHOLOGICAL HATRED OF CLINTON
   

   Why have the right-wing extremists brought us to this national trauma
   of an impeachment trial? Only because they hate Bill Clinton. Their
   motive is pathological hatred of Bill Clinton.
   
   You never hear anyone say, "I love Bill Clinton, but I think he should
   be removed from office because he lied about sex." You never hear
   anyone say, "I love Bill Clinton, but I think he should be removed
   from office so we can set a good example for our children, or
   something." No. What you hear from them is, basically, "He's a no-good
   bastard, I think he should be kicked out, and maybe put in jail." Then
   they follow with some kind of rationalization for their hatred, such
   as the argument about lies under oath or example for children or
   sanctity of the courts. These rationalizations sound good and are
   quite praiseworthy in themselves. But they are not the MOTIVE behind
   the right-wing action. They are merely the intellectual cover for the
   emotion of hatred.
   
   They went looking for a reason to throw him out, any reason! If they
   had found out he had filed a questionable tax return, we would now be
   hearing speeches about the sanctity of the Internal Revenue Service.
   The particular reason doesn't matter to them, as long as there is some
   reason they can latch on to in support of their hatred.
   
   Why, then, do they hate him so much that they are they willing to
   subject our entire country to this needless trauma?
   
   Some people hate him because he is successful and attractive. They are
   jealous. Some people hate him because he successfully avoided being
   drafted for Vietnam and they did not. Some people hate him because
   they feel he might take away their money and give it to others less
   worthy than themselves. Some people hate him because he loves all
   kinds of people, not just people like themselves. Some people hate
   Clinton because he attracts women while they do not. Many people hate
   him simply because he seems to get away with too much compared to
   themselves.
   
   There are other motives for hatred of Clinton, but these are the main
   ones I have observed.
   
   So let us not be confused about the origins of this entire
   anti-Clinton effort: the origin is pure hatred, pathological hatred,
   of Bill Clinton. All of the other stated reasons are mere intellectual
   rationalizations for this hatred.

  P. S. to my fellow Christians, who will know exactly what I mean:
  The Pharisees hated Jesus, too, then rationalized their hatred on
  various grounds, such as that He healed on the Sabbath in violation
  of the Law.
