Don't call Trump 'crazy' says Patrick Kennedy - it's a slur on mental health issues
Daily Mail (U.K.) ^ | 8/9/2016 | Nikki Schwab, U.s. Political Reporter For Dailymail.com

Mental health advocate and former Rep. Patrick Kennedy made a plea in the Washington Post urging people to stop calling Donald Trump 'crazy.'

The son of the late Sen. Ted Kennedy started his op-ed by detailing a number of names the Republican nominee has been called: 'crazy,' 'psychopath,' not 'sane,' having a 'screw lose' and suffering from 'narcissistic personality disorder' – none of which are actually diagnosed.

'With all of this damaging rhetoric floating around in our national political discourse, especially what we hear from and about Trump, it’s no wonder that people remain silent and the suffering continues,' Kennedy argued.(snip)

'And believe me, I'm no Trump fan,' he said. 'There's a lot to criticize about the policies, ideas and ideology of the Republican nominee.'

'As a person, he lashes out with unnecessary cruelty, and his policies would drive our country into a lengthy recession,' Kennedy added, suggesting putting the Republican nominee in the White House would cost the country 3.5 million jobs.

'We can reject Trump without resorting to making baseless diagnoses of his mental health,' Kennedy argued.

And in the same breath, little Patrick calls him cruel and dangerous. I guess that’s more responsible than calling him “crazy.”

Typical liberal crap. It is all they can do. Nothing good for America or its citizens....just attacking the opposition.

Totally useless.

Grandpa also had no use for his wife, except for making more babies. He cheated on her constantly.

Funny, you don't ever hear a liberal talk about a Kennedy's "white privilege".

Earth to Patches Kennedy: Stop calling criminals who assault scores of people killing many of those assaulted “crazy” for the same reason. I would also suggest you start referring to those people by their party affiliation—Democrat—instead!

Mental illness is the only thing Kennedys know anything about-after all, they have plenty of family members who are loons...

How big a moron would you have to be, if the first U.S. presidential candidate that you spotted with narcissistic personality disorder came after 2008?
