Simply not caring about her motivations makes the whole debate completely pointless.

I disagree. I don't care about motivations, I care about actions. I don't care why George Bush wants to violate the constitution, why he thinks it's ok to start an illegal and imperialistic war against a non-threatening country, why he attacks our civil rights, or why he makes horrible decisions with regard to our environment, foreign policy, or economy. The point is that he does those things and that is reason enough for me to hate him with every fiber of my being and to hope that he's killed as the traitor he is for the sake of America.
You don't have to care about why someone does something to make a debate worth having. If someone drowns 5 children, I don't care why they did it, I don't care what they were feeling, I don't care about their mental state, etc. I just know they did it and they need to die. If someone is spreading lies, I am curious to know if they are lying or don't know the truth but in the end it doesn't matter. It's their actions, not their reasons that matter.
