Hillary Was Not Being Propped Up, She Was Being Supported Standing on a Pedestal
8/10/2016 | Charles O'Connell

Posted on 08/10/2016 1:09:54 PM PDT by CharlesOConnell

Just look at the picture.

It's an unauthorized Getty image, link to it here. thegatewaypundit.com/2016/08/photo-hillary-clinton-propped-man-keep-falling-making-campaign-speech/

There's plenty wrong with Hillary, without resorting to specious exaggerations. It will only create a sympathetic backlash in her favor.

Treat ordinary people like they're not stupid.

I think you are posting on the wrong forum. Defending Hillary is always stupid. She should be in prison, not giving speeches.

Rickety platform, huh..?

You’re an apologist and liar —that thing is tippy the way a helicopter landing pad is tippy.

Two meters by two meters, less maybe, and a couple TONS..?

The thing is SOLID, getting rid of it would be a huge project. The Space Shuttle can’t land on it, but it’s nearly the Rock of Gibraltar.

There is clearly something medical going on.

Well, got a small point. But not a major one.
She had help- but not for the whole time.

Don't worry Charles, if everyone just ignores the obvious and focuses on the important stuff like how Trump eats KFC with a knife and fork, the media will get the old gal over the finish line even if the democrats have to stuff her like Trigger

Der Hildebeast is being propped up all the time. Why make a big deal about it now? The media has been doing the major share of the propping. Her supporters have been doing their share by ignoring the fact that Hillary wears no clothes and being der Hildebeast, why should she?

I didn’t see the picture of the platform or realize it was so large.

But, there she is standing on it alone with no help.

I’m not getting it. The woman has a seizure disorder. Of course her handlers have to hold her like that from time to time (and when she was ok it looks like they did back off). DOCTORS SAW THE VIDEO OF HER SEIZING ON CAMERA with that myoclonic seizure. They agreed we need to see her full truthful health records. Her doc need some or lose her license.

Are we not remembering? When you are to protect a candidate who has seizures fairly often, isn’t that kind of acceptable procedure?

Why is everyone acting like the Clinton lap dog media? Hillary Clinton has at the very least epilepsy. That is why she gets the stairs and holding treatment. Period.

She’s one woman who doesn’t belong on a pedestal.

Oh SHOVE it, you patronizing shill. She WASN'T on a chair, LIAR. She was on a low, stable concrete platform several people could have stood on - and she STILL couldn't maintain her own balance. And there are NO other times exaggeration has been used towards her. Like the MSM, you make crap up out of the whole cloth and then insinuate conservatives are doing the fantasies of your own sordid imagination.

Get lost, you mind f#####g CREEP.

Ha, ha! Calm down, guy! You're going to blow a gasket. Did you notice how calm the other Freepers who commented were? You can disagree with me without going berserk. We can make mistakes, but it doesn't mean we are commies. We can disagree , but it doesn't make us lefties.

When I posted, there was no picture showing what she was standing on. I GUESSED chair or stool. I was wrong. You made up out of whole cloth that I lied. Wrong does not equal lie. Typical lib trick. Don't use it.

You also called me a shill (for Hillary, I presume). You made that up. It's not true. If it were, you should find numerous examples of it and numerous Freepers flaming me. You won't find them. I've been on here 12 years and have had only a few people go off on me because I dared to disagree with them. Look at my hillary and Trump posts and see if I sound like a creep or not like a conservative.

I don't keep a list of them, but there have been some articles on Breitbart, especially, lately where the headline did not deliver the goods promised. I even commented on one of them but I'm not sure when it was. The next time I see exaggerations, I will let you know.

The following link is not the one, but it is a decent example:

Link

It was the topic of a post a few days ago.

I'm not going to get lost and I hope you don't either. I enjoy your fire, but geez, throttle down a bit!

I like how everyone ignored you. HEH HEH. Your debating skills are above reproach, your Critical Thinking Skills are fully EVIDENT, you are very versed in Logic, and your expertise at Ethics is commendable, you show a very intense understanding of HISTORY, Your Political Acumen is well.... beyond question, and your ability at at AD HOMINEM is nothing like I have ever seen..The Greeks, especially the Sceptics would be very proud of you.

Nope, you're a shill. And an insulting, contemptuous one. You're arrogant, manipulative, and a liar. And your slander against me as being out of control is what is being used to slander Trump right now. Being an innate collectivist, you don't even notice that your invoking of the group against me is your own imagination. There is no group here, Leftist. That's in your mind alone. You just think conservatives are stupid, and blind to your manipulative genius. Surprise, surprise.

As for working for Hillary, of course you are. You were born to work for Hillary. "People" like you sigh with relief when they can work for Hillary. Hillary is far more than your employer - she is your God, snowflake. She indulges and praises your moral collapse - just like your soccer mommy did.

Your only problem, other than literally losing your soul, is that you actually think you're invisible. But you're not, and you're in serious denial about being seen. Careful snowflake - blown cover turns predators into prey.

And oh yeah, you really are a commie. A real one - you believe it, because you plan on being one of the ones who run it, and you dream of having that power to destroy.

In truth, you're so incredibly small, sane people can't really grasp how sick you are. And you interpret their incredulousness as your "power."

Are we clear now, laughing punk?

I was being sarcastic. Everybody else caught it. Except you.

The ability to detect sarcasm is a function of IQ.

We have a pretty where that places you.

makes it pretty clear that Charles O’Connell, who started this thread, is correct. She was helped up on the platform and the picture that is being used to question her balance was clearly taken just as she got to the top with the person to her right still helping her attain a position. You can tell that by the progress the guy on her left has made between this pic and the one purporting to show her with a balance problem. He’s made about a step of progress between them

I second Mr. O’Connell’s point. There’s enough material to question Hillary’s competence for office without having to make stuff up.
