"For any scientist studying right-wingers' fear of strong,
autonomous women, the conference was an overflowing petri dish.
A popular bumper sticker: WHO ELECTED *HER*? Hillary Rodham Clinton
was the butt of more barbs than perennial targets George McGovern,
Jesse Jackson, Michael Dukakis and Dan Rather combined.... Signs
of things to come: Jack Wheeler of the Freedom Research Foundatation
distributed an article he wrote containing rumors about Hillary's
personal life and promising that the details will soon leak out....
'A year from now,' Wheeler noted, 'she will be the most despised
woman in America, and every guy in every bar in the country will
be commenting derisively to the fellow next to him about how " --
whipped" her husband is.' ( -- in the original.)"

report on the Conservative Political Action Conference, a gathering in
D.C. of 1200 right-wing activists from across the country.
