That kind of title, might have produced a quiproquo for some latin language natives.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quid_pro_quo :
The phrase qui pro quo, or quiproquo (from medieval Latin: literally qui instead of quo) is common in Romance languages such as Italian, Portuguese, Spanish and French, where it means a misunderstanding.[3]
In those languages, the phrase corresponding to the usage of quid pro quo in English is do ut des (Latin for "I give, so that you may give")The books that the world calls immoral are the books that show the world its own shame. Oscar Wilde.

It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

Bit of a hit piece, IMO.
It sounds like some supporters who are off the deep end about losing, and have taken it very, very personally. I'm not so sure it's even Hillary herself that's the problem here...

The trick isn't to break some eggs to make an omelette, it's convincing the eggs to break themselves in order to aspire to omelettehood.
