text: nigerian novelist wonders why everyone loves hillary november   daniel greenfield 
  why does everyone love hillary clinton its hard to say her unfavorable ratings have hit  that makes her more popular than 
   the bubonic plague 
   obamacare 
   osama bin ladens corpse 
  its not much to go on but the atlantic decided to run a piece by chimamanda adichie titledwhy is hillary clinton so widely loved 
  your response to seeing the name chimamanda adichie was probably huh unless youre a gender studies student at an ivy in which case you know exactly who she is and love her chimamanda adichie is a nigerian novelist whose we should all be feminists is big in those circles 
  the clinton campaign is unbearably awkward and this panegyric by adichie was an obvious attempt to channel some of that canned obama poetry and like most hillary branding it fails badly 
  there are howlers like there are millions who admire the tapestry of hillary clintons past and there are people who when hillary clinton becomes the first woman to be president of the united states will weep from joy its not quite a hymn to comrade stalin nor is it getting there by any means except a tow truck 
  and then theres the phrasing oh the phrasing hillary clinton was guilty immediately when she stepped into the view of the american public as the first lady of arkansas 
  this is an awkward attempt to channel that obama poetry but instead it reads like a dvd manual badly translated from the japanese 
  the atlantic piece is full of lines that straddle the border between tineared propagandistic cliche and just bad writing 
  she was a lawyer full of dreams 
  she was guilty of not being a traditional first lady she offended the old patriarchal order 
  then theres the theme of the article which is to just deny reality 
  a conservative writer labeled her a congenital liar when she was first lady and the label stuck because it was repeated over and overand it was a convenient label to harness misogyny if she was a liar then the hostility she engendered could not possibly be because she was a first lady who refused to be still and silent liar has reemerged during this election even though politifact a respected source of information about politicians has certified that she is more honest than most politicians 
  the perfect timing for that defense would have been not right after hillary clinton shouted at a rally that she had been in new york on  but dont worry hillary is more honest than most politicians a site supporting her said so 
   other words have been repeated over and over with no context until they have begun to breathe and thrum with life especially emails the press coverage of emails has become an unclear morass where emails must mean something terrible if only because of how often it is invoked 
  how about classified emails or illegal server or violation of regulations dealing with the handling of classified material thats got lots of context or coverup 
  the people who love hillary clinton know that the it system at the state department is old and stodgy nothing like a blackberrys smooth whirl hillary clinton was used to her blackberry and wanted to keep using it when she became secretary of state 
  people who love hillary know that she love high tech blackberry hillary love blackberry she is a lawyer full of dreams who fights for the children of migrant workers and loves their smooth whirl politifact thrums with life says her blackberry is more honest than the iphone hillary has many dreams of thrumming blackberries whirling smoothly that offend the traditional stodgy patriarchal order it system 
  the american conservative media saw an opportunity to blow the emails story out of proportion soon followed almost bashfully by the rest of the american media 
  is that how it works in nigeria because thats not how it works in america 
  there is no objective basis on which to equate hillary clinton to her opponent 
  theyre both mammals they need oxygen to live theyre better writers than chimamanda adichie 
  the people who love hillary clinton see the failings of the general american media where news entertains rather than informs they bristle when benign stories about her are covered with an ominous tone 
  they bristle and they hug their blackberry and weep for they fear that the patriarchal stodgy it systems will prevent hillary from being the thrumming first lady of north america 
  they know that she is a bit too careful but they understand that she has to be that she cannot afford spontaneity 
  you would think with all those six figure speeches she could afford a little 
  her actions so falsely magnified that she leaned into caution wrapped herself in a kind of caution that sometimes makes her appear stilted  
  and wrapped in her caution her whirling blackberry in one hand she bristled at the public retracting her quills and occasionally hissing in an informed fashion for the children of migrant workers who admired the tapestry of her past 
  there are millions of americans who do not have the selfindulgent expectation that a politician be perfect they are frustrated that hillary clinton is allowed no complexity  
  get beyonce on the phone i think adichie has got another hit
