I absolutely agree that there are many more avenues for people to criticize or hear criticism of anyone these days. However, that being said, there were still a whole lot of vicious personal attacks against them. While there have been some personal attacks against Obama, most of the criticism has been about policies and actions or lack of. Most of the criticism of conservative/republicans by those on the left is of a personal nature. Of course, when a conservative criticizes a policy position or stance by either Obama or Hillary, it is obvious that they are being racist or sexist to anyone with an ounce of intelligence. At least that is what you on the left say but you are objectively mistaken. I call insulting people and labeling them with tags like racist or sexist for just disagreeing with policy positions or questioning their intelligence personal attacks. But that might be just me.
