I also think the shouting of "liar, misogynist, ..." -- that type of reaction by people, to call others names -- is a component of what led people to vote for Trump.
Racist and misogynist are very heavy terms, and once they are in the mix, there is no way a moderate is going to go near the discussion. It is like "you are racist, racists shouldn't be listened to, I will not listen to you".
There have been so many comments like this in this thread - even when the original comment is pointing this out. Sigh.
Its so great to learn something I did not think of during a discussion like this. Its exactly what its for.

And also share with you a special kind of bias you might be victim of: confirmation bias.
Also your quotes:
> Racist and misogynist are very heavy terms
> On misogyny - she (Clinton) has never attacked a woman's character before?
So, misogyny is a very heavy term, but you consider it's ok to attribute it to someone who simply attacks a woman's character (which actually has nothing to do with any definition of misogyny).
Also, if you need proof that those terms weren't used lightly, I urge you to read another of my comments [1] where I posted videos of Trump proving he deserves being called that.
