Since the radical left and radical right are both composed of more than one
person, I suppose they each have more than one reason. I am pretty sure both
Clinton and Schlafly are hated by those outside the radical right and left,
respectively.

I'm not sure how much of a housewife she could have been, having lived 12
years in the Arkansas governor's mansion and 8 years in the White House. I'm
pretty sure those mansions have staff to take care of the housewife-y stuff
like dusting and preparing meals. I am afraid that I am unaware that she
ever had to work for the family out of necessity. My view of their marriage
is that it is very much a political alliance, not that there's anything
wrong with that. They're both very shrewd people.

I have no opinion about what class of mother she may or may not be.

Yes, she is quite brilliant. She is simply on the wrong side as far as NOW
et al. are concerned. Even if Clarence Thomas did everything that Anita Hill
claimed, that behavior was a kiss on the cheek compared to that of Bill
Clinton and Bob Packwood, both of whom got a free pass from NOW.

If Condi Rice were ever to become a viable presidential candidate, NOW and
the NAACP wouldn't know whether to shit or go blind.
