There is in fact a right wing conspiracy against Hillary Clinton

Is Hillary Clinton Secretly Suffering from Multiple Sclerosis?

According to an excerpt from the new book Unlikeable — The Problem with Hillary — exclusively obtained by Radar Online — the 67-year-old politician may be secretly suffering from Multiple sclerosis


This is just ugly and unacceptable. It's crap like this that makes Clinton supporters justifiably defensive against unsubstantiated media attacks. What's worse is this is just "promoted content" advertising for some crank right wing propaganda book masquerading as entertainment news.

Bullshit like this needs to be called out.

This is the same weasel who wrote a book in 2005 where he stated that Chelsea was conceived through rape, that Bill had attacked Hillary while on vacation in the Caribbean. What he wrote was so repellent that even conservative media took him to task and some refused to interview him during his book tour. This guy is as low as they come.

His list of books on amazon is a catalog of crazy. I tend to come down hard on Clinton for stressing that every attack is the right wing conspiracy ... but let us not forget there actually is a vast right wing conspiracy. It is not fictional.

It's why Clinton supporters pull out the RW smear claim often. Even the most ardent Hillary haters understand the rw will do anything to bring her down. To be fair, it's also why it is often an unfair debate tactic when used poorly. Insinuating that very respectable progressives are wingers. Your argument simply doesn't work. You aren't "educating" one person here.

They still are the Clintons' Inspector Javert. The fanciful tales are never ending and go far beyond political disagreements. Such as, claiming that Chelsea's father is Webb Hubbell, that Hillary murdered Vince Foster (never mind that she was in AR with her sick father at the time), the list of dead people that the Clintons' alleged had ordered killed, etc. The stories are so out of whack that it has ended up hurting them more than the Clintons.

If it was a larger publication you could at least make an argument. With these sites you are just spreading extremely fringe hit pieces.

2) This is so stupid it is straight out of The West Wing TV show. Couldn't they at least go with a different ailment?

Of a politician, even one I like, bother me. Things are going to be said--some false---during a campaign. That's the way it goes. Politics is a dirty business. Thick skin.

Watching the series again right now. The scene is his trip to China when he is in poor health and comes in at the last minute to put together North Korean talks.

Where his signal to CJ gets messed up, poor guy, so he has to wait and wait to get out of a meeting/social event.

I haven't connected netflix up where I am now, won't be able to get my fix for a few weeks.
