Politico Magazine runs a long article by Alex Thompson today with the provocative headline: "Could America Elect a Mentally Ill President? Yes. In fact, we probably already did." The story discusses the possible mental issues, and documented consumption of drugs used to treat mental illness, of numerous politicians, including several presidents, among them JFK, LBJ and Nixon.
But here's the—excuse the expression—crazy thing. To illustrate the story, Politico features a large photo of Barry Goldwater. He is shown holding a finger to his lips, as if perhaps to suggest he wants to keep a secret. But of all the many politicians discussed in the story, Goldwater is one about whom no serious suggestion of mental illness or the use of drugs used to treat mental illness is made.
Story continues here.

Politico uses photo of Goldwater to illustrate story on mentally-ill politicians.
Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.
Could America elect a mentally ill president?
Illustrate that story with a picture of someone who certainly had no mental illness.
And that person was never president.
So ... why use that picture?
Well, Republicans are poopy-heads.
Barack Obama is mentally ill. He faces abandonment issues from BOTH of his birth parents, he was raised and molested by a Communist, he was brought up to hate this country, and grew up in an abnormal househould with a tranny nanny and a dog eating stepfather.
No wonder he turned to dope to numb the pain and his brain.
Saint JFK was a dope addicted misogynist.
And the Clintons???
Liberals are mean-spirited vicious lying attack dogs who’ll stoop to any disgusting gutter level to crush their opposition. Much easier than debating the issues.
They were saying that if I voted for Goldwater we would be up to ears in Viet Nam. I did and we were.
In 2065, Alger Hiss will be on the $10 and Ethel Rosenberg will be on the $20.
Well said!

The traitorously insane demonicrats did elected a mentally deranged president in 2012, 2008, 1996, 1992, 1976, 1964, 1960, 1944, 1940, 1936, and 1932. The demonicrats almost elected another mental wacko in 2000.
And the fifth-column media (including “Uncle Walter”) has spewed their leftist propaganda to help elect these nutjobs.
The other one was the Rodents saying Goldwater was crazy because he said he’d bomb North Vietnam. So they elected Johnson in a historic landslide and were all smug and smarmy about that, but within a year Johnson was dropping bombs on North Vietnam and the Rodents didn’t say he was nuts. I can remember asking some of my fellow students who were Johnson-bots about that and they’d either shrug, get the deer-in-the-headlights look, or say something like, he’s right to do that (but Goldwater wasn’t).
My mother took my brother and I to see Goldwater speak in 1964. She didn’t drive, and my dad was working, so we went to the Civic Center in a taxi. Even at fifteen I was impressed. Wonder what the country would look like today if he had been president for four years

None of the presidents in my time have been insane. The current
guy in the White House is in complete control of his mental faculties, and knows exactly what he is doing: destroying this country.
Politico Magazine offered up a lie in the form of a picture of Goldwater. A picture Politicao wished was the truth - a delusion on the part of Politico staffers... Is it because liberal elites are nuts? Or that they’re liars?
