The 'Compassionate Misanthrope'

Hillary Clinton knows thyself. The letters released by a high school friend (Is anything private anymore?) detail an introspective Hillary that is at once refreshing and disturbing. "Can you be a misanthrope and still love or enjoy some individuals?" Hillary wrote in 1967. "How about a compassionate misanthrope?" Hillary has always loved humanity. The humans, on the other hand, have never been high on her list. Compassionate misanthrope? Yes.

I don't think it's true that Hitlery Rotten Clinton doesn't like people. She likes them plenty, in consideration for providing votes and as long as she can herd them.

Quoting from the linked piece:

" 'God, I feel so divorced from Park Ridge, parents, home, the entire unreality of middle class America,' she says. 'This all sounds so predictable, but it's true.' "

Interesting candor.
