The new birthers: Debunking the Hillary Clinton health conspiracy (CNN LOL alert)

CNN ^ | August 23, 2016 | Gregory Krieg

[Zakeet]

From Donald Trump and his top surrogates to the right-wing media and its engine rooms of outrage in the blogosphere, Hillary Clinton's opponents are ramping up efforts to sow doubt over the candidate's health. The campaign -- which goes back years -- has escalated to shouting over the summer, as Trump spiraled in the polls while mostly failing to connect with voters outside his base demographic. Now, as the race enters a crucial phase, there has been a growing push to fundamentally undermine Clinton's candidacy.

Much in the way "birthers" (Trump was among the most prominent) sought similar ends by questioning President Barack Obama's citizenship, the "healthers" are using junk science and conspiracy theories to argue that Clinton is suffering from a series of debilitating brain injuries.

You right wing birther conspiracy nuts should quit goosing the Witch from your engine rooms of outrage ... it's sowing doubts about her ability to run the world ... its fundamentally undermining her candidacy at a crucial phase ... and it's totally unfair!

You guys should ignore her falls ... the blood clots ... the seizures ... the memory lapses ... the double vision ... the inappropriate responses and laughter ... the tongue biopsy ... her clearing her calendar because of a lack of energy ... her incontinence ... her use of adult diapers ... the pillows ... her constant use of handrails ... the warm coats she wears in summer ... her avoidance of flashing lights ... the extended bathroom breaks ... the special modifications to vehicles transporting her ... her need for handlers to travel with her with injections at the ready. All this stuff is junk science and conspiracy theory ... and it proves nothing cause she can still open a pickle jar!

The fact that the MFM finds it necessary to respond says a great deal about the truth regarding Hillary’s health. Shart that!

[ArtDodger]

For the last 6 months she has been using the Dr. Evil wardrobe from central casting that only allows for heavily pancaked head and hands to protrude. A burka would have done the job better.

[ArtDodger]

Does anyone believe that the pickle jar she opened for Kimmel wasn’t pre-opened for her?

[dp0622]

They can write whatever the #### they want now. It only makes things worse.

Trump knows the deal.

Once the news is OUT THERE, it’s a #### of a lot harder to disprove it OR get it out of people’s minds. :)

Trump!!! Fight dirty you son of a ####!!!! :)

“... the right-wing media...”

Huh???????

[exit82]

Hitlery should be hit on all levels—simultaneously.

Her health is an issue. She clearly has heart/vascular/brain damage issues going on.

Why should she be considered to be able to do the stressful job of the Presidency?

Because she opens a jar of pickles on TV?

It is telling that the MSM, known as the Democrat Party media arm, needs to “debunk” anything, instead of investigating for themselves what we all we can see plainly with our own eyes.

The Dems, since Reagan, has never shied away from making age or health a reason to attack a GOP Presidential candidate.

Let them deal with it for a change.

Hitlery can so easily prove these people wrong. This is an easy one. She can get out there and walk a mile, move around with ease and strength...etc. Basically, carry on with the vigor that matches The Donald, and those rumors would be put to bed, and shame on us for even thinking that there’s weakness!

“...Much in the way “birthers” (Trump was among the most prominent)...”

Clinton, herself, was MORE prominent than Trump during the 2008 campaign....

[Interesting Times]

Now, as the race enters a crucial phase...

Wait, the DNC media has been telling us for weeks that Hillary has, like, totally won. Where did this "crucial phase" come from?

“questioning President Barack Obama’s citizenship”

CNN you twit, we were questioning Obamas natural born citizenship. I could care less where he was born, his daddy was not an American, heck he was a British royal subject for crying out loud!

[longfellow]

Kimmel must be a girlie man.

[cincinnati65]

“We here at CNN asked the Clinton campaign about the allegations. They responded ‘They’re ridiculous’. End of story.”

[cincinnati65]

First debate, Trump should walk as quickly as possible halfway across the stage (remember, any further would be aggression towards women), stop, and wait for Hillary to amble up to him to shake hands.

That would say a lot, without saying a word.

[Leep]

She is going to pass out and then what will they say?

She was kidding around?

[dp0622]

yes it would.

I’m still getting really ####ed off at college grads keeping her in the race.

I have to stop looking at daybreak every day.

Proper word though. Because if she wins it will be the DAY I BREAK lots of college grad’s legs. JK (violence is not the answer) Disclaimer finished.

[kennedy]

Trump should release a letter from his personal CPA declaring that Trump’s finances are in order and he is fit to be president. That should satisfy anyone who is complaining about Trump not releasing his tax returns, right?

[Geronimo]

That’s not a catheter she’s wearing, it’s an automatic sprinkler system to extinguish the flames when her pants catch on fire!..

[PigRigger]

Incredible that this is being written by a MSM journalist that is supposed to be impartial and unbiased...

Stunning....

engine rooms of outrage

I love that.
