I really need to know

This is bugging me. A lot. So much that I am inspired to make a Facebook group just so I can get a big discussion going about it. But the question is this:

WHY do Republicans/conservatives/whoever loathe Hillary Clinton so much? I feel really ignorant not knowing, but it just astonishes me the amount of hatred that gets thrown at her. Is it because of Bill? Healthcare reform? Cuz she's a girl and she's blonde? I mean honestly, she's not even very liberal if you ask me. She supports the war, for fuck's sake. She's got a lot of the same ideas as, say, Barack Obama, but he doesn't get nearly as much crap for who he is. The way Republicans talk about her, it sounds less like they're against her politics and more like they're outright terrified of her. Is there something they know that I don't? (I'm gonna go with yes).

So does anyone have any insight? I just want to know what the big deal is.
