Oh, poor Hillary, they are picking on her

Scott Lehigh:

THOU SHALT not criticize Hillary Clinton.

That may as well be the mantra of the Clinton camp.

Why, the way Clinton's campaign acts, you could be forgiven for thinking she was an absolute monarch, and not merely the Democratic front-runner.

...

This tactic is as tinny as it is transparent. Clinton's spinmeisters are trying to make her rivals look disreputable for doing something that's absolutely in-bounds.

"It gets tiresome after a while," says Paul Pezzella, a Massachusetts political operative who is a veteran of four presidential campaigns - and a Clinton supporter. "Campaigns are all about drawing distinctions. That's completely legitimate."

What's more, that stratagem contradicts a central part of Clinton's own message: The notion that she is a battle-tested veteran ready for anything the Republicans can throw at her. If so, she should prove it by engaging with her rivals and defending her positions - not by having her campaign protest each and every time another Democrat says something critical about her.

She even had Media Mutters shilling for her and complaining about the "abuse" she was getting. They act like she was responsible for getting them in business as a support group instead of being a "progressive, non partisan" media watch dog. They are certainly pretty doggy when it comes to Hillary. I believe the breed is described as a lapdog.
