She makes him out to be some type of modern day Mother Teresa.

This week she has said if you are a Republican you are racist, if you don't like Al Sharpton you are a racist and if you don't support the U.S. going into Syria you are a racist. She's covered a pretty good chunk of the American population.

That's actually the difference between a conservative and a reactionary. A conservative wants to maintain the status quo. A reactionary wants to turn the clock back to some imaginary time that's never been.
