Is Hillary having a Lesbian affair with an Al Qaeda Mole?

It would be irresponsible for any Democrat not to point out what the Republicans will attack Hillary on in the general election if she were the nominee.

For example, the Republican attack machine will claim that Hillary is having a lesbian love affair with her personal aide, Huma Abedin.

Abedin is a Muslim, and the Republicans will attack Hillary for that, and Abedin's family ties to Al Qaeda.

It is, of course, important to vet our nominee before the general election. So we should have lots of blog posts, newspaper stories and endless chatter on talk radio and on cable news about whether the coming GOP attacks claiming that Hillary is having a lesbian love affair with an Al Qaeda mole are going to hurt her with White Male ethnic union members.

Surely Hillary's supporters will recognize the wisdom of putting this informatuion before the voters of Pennsylvania, North Carolina and Indiana so they can make an informed decision about whether Hillary will have to spend all of her time denying that she is having sexual relations with that woman, Ms. Abedin.

Hillary can deny it until the cows come home, but to paraphrase what she herself said -- you can't pick your family members, but you can pick who your personal aides are.

I am just being a concerned Democrat. I would much rather Hillary be vetted now, before we pick our nominee, than have this story blow up in the middle of the Fall campaign when it is too late to do anything about it.

ADDENDUM: It should be pointed out that Ms. Abedin actually advises Hillary on the Middle East, and is not just a glorified personal assistant.

Ms. Abedin has indeed become a trusted advisor to Mrs. Clinton, especially on issues pertaining to the Middle East, according to a number of Clinton associates. At meetings on the region, they say, Ms. Abedin’s perspective is always sought out.
