Creating a victim

And a liberal blogger says--it's Hillary: "Hillary, by contrast, is polarizing not because she wants to be, but because the right-wing attack machine made her that way. She's 'polarizing' only because a certain deranged slice of conservative nutjobs detest her."

Yes, none of it's her fault. The 1993 health care plan? Her husband's lies (including to a judge)? The idea of a "vast right-wing conspiracy"? None of it came from her. Maybe we can start calling this kind of thing "victim politics."
