I have a few thoughts. I think that some people are looking for any reason to dislike her just like they dislike Hillary Clinton. Intelligent, educated, outspoken women are considered a threat and are disliked and feared. It's a deep and visceral reaction.
Was Teresa Heinz considered cooky and irritating when she was a Republican married to Senator Heinz? Did the Republicans just consider her outspoken as the Democrats do now? I know nothing about her from that time. Did all of this animosity begin when she became Teresa Heinz-Kerry the Democrat?
I think that people also resent that she remarried. Americans like their young widows to remain tragic symbols. They don't like them remarried and happy. Many people resented when Jacqueline Kennedy married Aristotle Onassis. They felt that she was disloyal to her husband President Kennedy's memory.
