Yeas & Nays has gotten a sneak peak at the January 2008 issue of GQ and a piece by Jason Horowitz looks at “The Hillary Haters.”
Just who are “The Hillary Haters”?

“Already there are dozens of Web sites—Stop Hillary PAC, Gotta Stop Hillary, and The Hillary Project to name just a few—devoted to Hillary’s demise,” writes Horowitz. “No other candidate in history has ever inspired a similar cottage industry of anger—Web sites, books, and movies, not to mention the Hillary Clinton Voodoo Kit (‘Stick It to Her, Before She Sticks It to You!’) or the articles explaining her occult connection (‘Proof Positive That Hillary Clinton is an Illuminist Witch: Exposé of Hillary’s Christmas Tree’). At a March conference of conservatives in Washington, D.C., Hillary barf bags were distributed to convention-goers along with 1,000 free copies of The Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy’s Dossier on Hillary Clinton, written by Amanda B. Carpenter, a 25-year-old woman who told me Hillary was ‘the student council president that you can’t stand.'”
These “Hillary Haters” call Clinton “an extremist left-wing flower child masquerading as a moderate, or a warmongering hawk disguised as a liberal. She’s a liar and a lesbian (short hair! pantsuits!), a cold fish and an adulteress. She has no maternal instincts and is hobbled by a debilitating case of insecurity, for which she compensates by acting like a thug. She is the spineless wife of a habitual cheat, and the willful enabler of her husband’s affairs. She’s in politics to keep Bill around, and she ran for the Senate, and then the presidency, to exact revenge for his philandering. She has no God, or her devoutness is frighteningly fundamentalist. She’s a condescending elitist who sees people—even her friends—as steps on a stairway to the presidency. She is a partisan, a panderer, the personification of everything that is wrong with America.”
Ouch.
Horowitz also sheds some light on the upcoming “Hillary: The Movie,” a documentary put out by Citizens United. The film’s brainchild, David Bossie, had this to say:
“She has a long record, and we will cover a multitude of topics,” he says, boasting that people “very familiar personally with the Clintons” will offer testimonials. He also says the film, which will be released in early 2008, will feature interviews with Dick Morris, Newt Gingrich, and Jeff Gerth, who followed Whitewater for The New York Times and coauthored the book Her Way: The Hopes and Ambitions of Hillary Rodham Clinton. (The book reported on a secret pact between the Clintons that assured each of them a turn in the White House.)”
