Shame on pundits for mocking
Secretary of State Hillary
Clinton´s head injuries

Seattle Times, by Thanh Tan

Original Article

Posted By:LittleHoodedMonk, 1/2/2013 4:01:29 PM

The pundits making a mockery of Secretary of State Hillary Clinton´s head injuries ought to be ashamed of themselves. These commentators contend Clinton is offering excuses to avoid tough questions over the deadly September attack on a U.S. consulate office in Libya. (Snip) On Dec. 17, Fox News contributor John Bolton accused Clinton of feigning "diplomatic illness." One day later, the New York Post published a headline calling her condition a "head fake."On the air, Charles Krauthammer and Sean Hannity have joked about Clinton´s "acute Benghazi allergy." Outgoing Congressman Allen West, R-Florida,

If she had testified before she had the flu, we wouldn´t be having this conversation now.

If she had appeared on all those Sunday talk shows (rather than Susan Rice), we wouldn´t be having this conversation now.

If Hillary didn´t have a reputation for being less than truthful, we wouldn´t be having this conversation now.

If Hillary were a Republican, we would be having this conversation now.

These are Hillary´s self-righteous friends writing screeds to defend her. We still haven´t seen any doctors telling us what´s going on. We have only her and her handlers´ statements. We still know nothing.

Why disappear for 3 weeks? Why not have her doctor confirm the fact that she had a concussion. Her situation may be legitimate but why the secrecy for so long.

Hillary could have been more open about what happened. What´s so hard about that? Unless???

As stupid ass Hillary is, the blood clot might actually improve her intellect. At least now we know for sure that there is something between her ears.

But all the Clintons have long Caesar´s-wife´s-reputations for purity, right?

And now we´d all better apologize for doubting her on those 1,000-plus FBI files in her bedroom closet, and the "I read the Wall Street Journal" futures trades.

And no more snarky cracks about Chelsea "Hubbell."

Uh, Mr. Tan . . . the journolist pundits have lost their shame long ago. It happened some time between their investigative journalism on Bill Cinton & said same done of Gov. Palin. You are wa-a-a-a-a-a-a-ay too late.

Shame on the lapdog media for forgiving the unforgiveable and ignoring the deaths of brave americans while this shrew ran for cover. Than, to top off the outrage, to call this absolute failure (see Egypt, Libya, Syria, Russia, China, etc., etc.,) the "most accomplished Secretary of State ever" is dispicable. Hillary is one of the worst of a bad Obama lot and no amount of aspirin will change that.

We are so sorry for having not believed Mrs. Clinton, but she and her husband have lied so many times that our assumptions were just natural. Please forgive!

Now we do hope that Mrs. Clinton will testify on Benghazi before she leaves office, if her memory serves her.

If Hillary´s condition was really severe, Bill would be right there at her bedside - to make sure there were no confessions, if you know what I mean.

I´m ashamed to admit that I was at first skeptical over the "concussion" story.

Then I learned that she fell and landed squarely on her butt. It makes perfect sense now.

The entire media establishment and every liberal in the country should be ashamed of themselves for the horribly cruel remarks they have made about every prominent Republican and their families in the last 20 years. The hypocrisy of these people is astounding. So Thanh, why don´t you be the first to admit that instead of lecturing the rest of us. I don´t personally care what happens to Hillary Clinton. Her criminal stupidity in Benghazi took 4 people´s lives.


Reply 32 - Posted by: postaway, 1/2/2013 5:04:21 PM     (No. 9095337)

Ignoramouses masquerading as wise pundits and reporters like this woman have helped get our nation to the pathetic shape it is in. Why doesn´t she question why Hillary´s blood clot wasn´t diagnosed right away? Hillary is the Secretary of State and had she taken a fall sufficient to cause a concussion one would think that protocol would be such that she would immediately have a CAT scan, at the very least. A case of the stomach flu leading to cerebral thrombosis, meaning that her brain´s in a blender and has turned to jello...again...just in time for the Benghazi hearings, is a little rich. Perhaps I should be ashamed to doubt this known liar and her flying monkeys, but I´m not.

Surprise, before Seatle she worked for PBS:

#6 may be on to something. I have a very close friend in the hospital who was recently placed into a medically-induced coma, again, to help reduce brain swelling.

One of the nurses contacted me and wanted to know if my friend spoke Latin. When I replied ´no´ and asked why, she told me my friend was speaking fluent Latin while in the coma.

Perhaps, if the concussion and blood clot story is true, Hillary is speaking fluently in Conservatism, channeling the Federalist papers and doctors are concerned and can´t explain the condition.

Stranger things have happened.

When someone lies to you, you have trouble believing them next time, when some like Bill and Hill have lied hundreds of times often under oath you end up NEVER believing a word out of their mouths. As to the Famous Hillary quote "I really don´t Recall"anyone can make $100k in a day with cattle futures call it beginners luck.

Possibly when she was "diagnosed" with a concussion ( by someone ? ) instead of going to the hospital and getting the proper tests and treatment at THAT time, if necessary, we would think more kindly of her situation. Whether we believe her, trust her, and/or support her, no one wants to see another person in a dire medical condition. We who do not support her simply believe she has been avoiding her testimony before Congress. and THAT´s a fact. We do not wish her to be ill or injured.


Reply 52 - Posted by: JustCause, 1/2/2013 8:08:02 PM     (No. 9095567)

She´s NOT ill or injured. Tan is a succubus and believes anything said by their gods/goddesses.

She, Tan and their ilk have lied so manny times, a sane person cannot believe any spoken word or seen action. You have to always ask, what´s behind the curtain? What´s going on that´s being kept from me?

Just because H gets a doctor to do a couple of tests and say something that she scripted for him/her, doesn´t make it true.

Any sane person looks at a plethora of information / sources before making a decision. The first question is: What was the timeline? minute by minute - sick, fell, Dr., tests. Until she does a better job of covering her tracks, the timeline doesn´t add up to coincide with her purported injuries / released statements.

She doesn´t have the same medical care we have. She doesn´t need to see her primary physician to get a referral to a specialist.

North Korea appears to be preparing a fourth underground nuclear weapons test at Punggye-ri, the site of its previous test, a South Korean government source says. Pyongyang appeared to be making preparations for the test, according to a South Korean government source speaking to the country’s Joong Ang Daily newpaper. This comes on the heels of the South’s defence ministry reports that Pyongyang could perform a mid-range missile test-launch by Wednesday – also the deadline it has given to foreign diplomats to evacuate, as their safety would reportedly no longer be guaranteed

Bridgewater, N.J. - Like clockwork, they´re coming back -- after 17 years. "They" would be cicadas, the big, noisy bugs that climb out of the earth about every decade and a half to make everyone´s life more exciting. Experts tell Gannett News Service that the bugs live underground and feed off fluid that gathers near the roots of plants, then emerge from the soil when its temperature reaches 64 degrees. They´re largely harmless, but their sheer numbers can cause headaches. Some areas could see as many as a billion of the cicadas per square mile. That can lead to a lot of dead bugs all over roadways

Caracas - Hundreds of thousands of Venezuelan opposition supporters rallied in a staunchly pro-government part of the capital on Sunday, answering a call by their candidate Henrique Capriles and showing strength a week before the presidential election. "Today the streets of Caracas are full of happiness and hope, confirming what will happen next Sunday," Capriles, the 40-year-old governor of Miranda state, told the crowd. Capriles faces acting President Nicolas Maduro, who has vowed to continue the hard-line socialism of his late boss, Hugo Chavez, if he wins the April 14 election.

Snoop Lion made bold comments about gay marriage and rap music, even addressing singer Frank Ocean´s coming out. Snoop, 41, who has spoken in favor of marriage equality before, was asked by The Guardian if he believed the R&B singer´s declaration of having loved a man meant gay relationships would soon be accepted in the rap community. "Frank Ocean ain´t no rapper," Snoop is quoted as saying. "He´s a singer. It´s acceptable in the singing world, but in the rap world I don´t know if it will ever be acceptable because rap is so masculine."

About 45 of Royal Bank’s employees in Toronto are losing their jobs now that the bank has entrusted its long-time partner iGate Corp. with some of the back-office support to its investor services.

A bipartisan Senate group on immigration legislation is attempting to craft an agreement so secure that the eight members will oppose amendments to its core provisions, an arrangement that could delay the introduction of a bill, people familiar with the negotiations said. (Snip) Sen. Lindsey O. Graham (R-S.C.) said on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that he hopes a deal can be reached “in the next couple of weeks.” A GOP Senate aide involved in the negotiations said a deal is unlikely this week because writing the bill, which is expected to be up to 1,500 pages, is going slowly.

Shanghai & Hong Kong - China said it was mobilizing resources nationwide to combat a new strain of bird flu that has killed six people, as Japan and Hong Kong stepped up vigilance and the United States said it was closely monitoring the situation. All of the 14 reported infections from the H7N9 bird flu strain have been in eastern China and at least four of the six dead are in the financial hub of Shanghai, a city of 20 million people. The strain does not appear to be transmitted from human to human but authorities in Hong Kong raised a preliminary alert and said they were taking precautions at the airport.

In 2011, a little-known group called GOProud was a sponsor of the Conservative Political Action Conference, the annual marquee event for the right. A staunchly right-wing, fiscally conservative group that also promoted a pro-life message, GOProud seemed like a great fit for the event. There was just one problem: GOProud´s main function was as a gay-rights group. Enter Cleta Mitchell. Mitchell was, and is, on the board of the American Conservative Union, which runs CPAC.

They´re starting to grow out, get a little irritating.´ Still, she hasn´t let her hairdo woes get her down. ´It´s okay,´ she said after her initial complaint. ´We´ll be good.´ The first indication that her hairstyle was becoming a burden came about last weekend, when Malia, 14, was spotted adjusting her mother´s hair during the White House Easter Egg Roll.

Sen. John McCain says he doesn´t understand the threats from some of his Republican colleagues to filibuster a bill on background checks to buy guns. "I don´t understand it," the Arizona Republican said on Sunday of the threat coming from Sen. Rand Paul,Sen. Ted Cruz, Sen. Mike Lee and nine other Republicans. "The purpose of the United States Senate is to debate and to vote and to let the people know where we stand.” "What are we afraid of? ... If this issue is as important as we all think it is, why not take ... it up and debate?"

President Obama´s biggest gaffe yesterday when speaking of California Attorney General Kamala Harris was not in flirtatiously complimenting her as "the best-looking attorney general," but in introducing an observation from the system of beauty into a forum that was about the system of power.What´s that, you say? Irin Carmon does a great job in Salon in laying out the bounds of propriety for when it´s appropriate to talk about a woman´s looks as a general matter. But I´ve long felt we lack a solid theoretical underpinning for easily discussing these issues, and why precisely it is that

Recent research indicates that the number of people who do not consider themselves a part of an organized religion is steadily on the rise. Interestingly enough, though the number of those religiously unaffiliated is increasing, there is little to no trend in the number of those who express atheist or agnostic beliefs. People aren’t saying they don’t believe in God. They’re saying they don’t believe in religion. They are not rejecting Christ. They are rejecting the church. This begs the question, “Why are we losing our religion?”

Los Angeles — Some people have had it with TV. They´ve had enough of the 100-plus channel universe. They don´t like timing their lives around network show schedules. They´re tired of $100-plus monthly bills. A growing number of them have stopped paying for cable and satellite TV service, and don´t even use an antenna to get free signals over the air. (Snip) Last month, the Nielsen Co. started labeling people in this group "Zero TV" households, because they fall outside the traditional definition of a TV home. There are 5 million of these residences in the U.S., up from

On Friday, Sean Hannity brought Pat Smith, mother of the late Sean Smith, on his radio program. The 34-year-old information management officer was one of four Americans murdered in the Benghazi embassy attack on September 11, 2012. In the chilling interview, a distraught Ms. Smith, in tears, pleaded for answers and spoke of the efforts to silence her. Ms. Smith first relayed how her son, prior to the attack, requested additional security in advance and warned the State Department: He did tell them, ahead of time, he typed it into his little typewriter over there,

Put out an all-points bulletin: Millions of Americans have gone missing from the workforce. Every month that those would-be workers are gone raises the odds that they might never come back, dimming the prospects for future economic growth. The vanishing trend is more than a decade old, but it accelerated during the Great Recession. Throughout 2012, economists held out hope that it had stopped. But then came Friday’s jobs report, and hopes were dashed. The Labor Department reported that the U.S. labor force — everyone who has a job or is looking for one — shrank

No one is more preoccupied these days with Hillary Clinton´s 2016 plans than the Beltway political class—not even the former presidential candidate herself. To hear some tell it, her decision will be dispositive for all other Democrats thinking of entering the race. And pundits and reporters aren´t the only ones positing the "The Hillary Factor": No less than the House Democratic whip, Steny Hoyer, told BuzzFeed, “I don´t know that anybody would run against Hillary…. If she runs, she clears the field.” It´s an understandable conclusion, given Clinton´s stature in the Democratic Party and her 70 percent

Neurosurgeon Ben Carson, considered by some to be a potential Republican contender for president, apologized to Johns Hopkins University for the "poorly chosen words" he used in expressing his opposition to gay marriage last month.“I am sorry for any embarrassment this has caused,” Carson said in the letter, reported in New York Magazine.(Snip) "Although I do believe marriage is between a man and a woman, there are much less offensive ways to make that point. I hope all will look at a lifetime of service over some poorly chosen words.” Carson will remain as commencement speaker at Johns Hopkins,

Susan Patton, the Princeton alumna who became famous for her letter urging Ivy League women to use their college years to find a mate, has been denounced as a traitor to feminism, to coeducation, to the university ideal. But really she’s something much more interesting: a traitor to her class. Her betrayal consists of being gauche enough to acknowledge publicly a truth that everyone who’s come up through Ivy League culture knows intuitively —

Beyonce and Jay-Z celebrated their fifth wedding anniversary in Cuba this week. The couple, who married on April 4, 2008, took in the sights of Old Havana, visited a school, dined on a rooftop terrace and strolled the fan-filled streets in their island best.(snip).The power couple declined to answer journalists´ questions about their visit to the island nation, but some outlets are reporting that the moguls are there as tourists, though that would be illegal because of the half-century embargo the U.S. has on the Communist country. However, the Miami Herald said Washington has issued special licenses for
