They scapegoated poor people and people of color to get Bill reelected. I think that's evil.
There's a great book called Listen, Liberal, which explains the neo-liberal anti-worker politics that the Clinton's epitomized. It's not about being a yuppie yourself. It's about supporting the professional classes at the expense of workers while blaming the workers for their losses. The fact is that Clinton politics and their consequences destroyed the middle class in ways Reagan could never have envisaged.
It's a truly evil politics, capitalist to the core. Heartless and cynical.
