Hillary is sick. Of the media.

.....In case you haven’t heard, Hillary Clinton may have a secret, terrible illness that will prevent her from running for president in 2016. Rush Limbaugh, The Daily Caller, Matt Drudge and Roger Stone, often described as a “self-admitted GOP hit man,” have spread the rumor.

On Feb. 24 of this year, Stone, who now says he is a Libertarian, tweeted: “@HillaryClinton not running for health reasons. Remember you heard it first from the #StoneZone.”

Four days later, Rush Limbaugh began a broadcast: “Whispers are persisting, whispers — there’s a whisper campaign, folks — that Mrs. Clinton is sick; that she will not run for the presidency because she is sick.”

...............

............She is currently engaged in a vigorous national speaking tour, making, some say, as much as $250,000 per speech.

.............

If Hillary is flying around the country, knocking down a quarter mil a speech while being ill, I’ll have what she’s having.

Every criticism it waves at her is pure BS. Meanwhile, the real reasons one needs to think twice about Hillary advocacy are never mentioned.

They handle Obama the same way. Never mind coddling banks and being a drone-head, they drone on and on about Kenya and communism.

The only reason to engage in these tactics is because the GOP is afraid of Hillary Clinton

That program kept me alive as a child.

And to repay them I will enthusiastically support Hillary in both the primary and the general.

Hillary posts are always full of nasty anti-Clinton crap. Luckily, they make up for about .000001% percent of voters. I think the polls reflect how most Americans feel about them.

I'm with you and Mrs Clinton.

fwiw, there was a lot of residual butthurt on DU over the '08 primaries, so because of some overzealous supporters (most of them are long gone), Hillary gets a little more hate on DU than she deserves

Even a mention of her speaking about women's rights will illicit a stream of the same knee jerk anti-Clinton lines.
I would consider it a safe bet that she will be elected President in 2016. If she is, she sure won't owe any favors to Progressives.

insulting posts about Mrs Clinton at the time you refer to. If anyone here had dared to treat Barack Obama the way Hillary Clinton was treat here, they would have been branded a bigot and tossed out the door.

I've been following DU for a long time. I well remember when the President was an untouchable saint who walked on water and Hillary Clinton was painted as a racist, corporate hag who's greatest crime was that she dared to run against the One True Liberal.
