[QUOTE]On Sunday night, an obviously shaken Huffington Post contributor, David Seaman, posted a video to YouTube after the HuffPo had taken measures to revoke his publishing access and delete two articles he had previously published on Hillary's health...a move that left him "a little scared" and "spooked out".
According to Seaman, he has a long standing relationship with the Huffington Post which has included "100's of successful articles" that have been published under the banner.
"Whenever a video concerning a presidential candidate's health is viewed more that 3.5 million times somebody who is under contract to the Huffington Post and AOL should be able to link out to that."[/QUOTE]

huffington post continuing to be a overrated, biased "news" site
Huffington Post is literally Brietbart tier of "news" and "journalism".

I don't see why huffpo is allowed and never understood why it was an allowable sorce

How can that rotten piece of shit be allowed but not Daily Mail or RT?
When I read "terminated" I thought he got killed :v:
This is some dumb shit, just let your journalists post stuff no matter what side it might lean on
It's just a left wing dailymail really, it's no surprise in that respect.
The Inquirer was probably not happy that another newspaper was trying to steal its weekly headlines where [i]Person X has only weeks to live.[/i]

Well I guess that means Hillary and Trump are on equal media footing.
Why we can't question her health. Is it some taboo?

Because it's a ridiculous claim that any journalist trying to seem professional wouldn't actually care about?
He wasn't even hired by them, he was just writing about some dumb claim by the Trump campaign.

I'm sure he was laughed out of there after he was fired.[/QUOTE]
If it gathers tons of attention, of course it's worth looking into to see whether or not it holds some water.

Seriously? This is a claim literally on par with the Obama birth certificate claim.
Has there been literally any evidence that Hillary is dying that isn't pushed by the Alt-Right or Far-Right? The only other thing I've read is that the DNC Doctor gave her the all-clear.
I'm not into politics much but anything that relates to president or candidates that will bring them down are often wanted to be covered up by them with an excuse. "By them" I mean that specific president or candidate. This writer points out the health problem in which Hillary have and the result of that action caused him to be terminated from the job. Maybe Hillary doesn't want him to find anything else that may danger her status and decide to tell his department to kick him out. Lots of people, including candidates, may have things that may hinder their position.

Here is literally the only proof anyone will ever get as to their health. There is absolutely nothing to say that either candidate is unfit for presidency.

This is pathetic tabloid level mongering.

She publicly released a letter from her doctor that detailed her health issues, including some problems with deep vein thrombosis and a past concussion, going into enough detail to even mention the brand-name medication of what types of blood thinners she's been trialed on in response to thrombosis in the past.
This is just HuffPo being fucking retarded like usual.

It's 100% rumors and speculation. Anonymous staffers say she has to take a rest after debates before going to her car - but nobody knows who and it's 100% unverified. There's more evidence that Trump has narcissistic personality disorder than that Hillary has a neurodegenerative brain disease or syphilis or she's a chain smoker with lung cancer or whatever other WebMD diagnoses /pol/ came up with.
I've literally heard people saying that her reaction to the balloons dropping at the DNC was "a stroke." It's the furthest grasping at straws there is, especially since there are totally fair, non-wildly-conspiratorial criticisms of Hillary out there. Attacking her health based on "well she makes faces sometimes so she has strokes" is pathetic.
what the fuck is this youtube channel

Didn't she have a stroke in the past year or two? I don't think it's outlandish to speculate on her health, I mean even dr. Drew questioned it and he's a medical professional.

Everything I've seen about this so-called stroke is basically either from conspiracy theorists or the right wing nutjobs "attempting to expose the lies of the dirty liberals." That bill of health issued by the doc should be taken as the truth, unless, and I mean if it somehow comes out of left field, some proof was offered to the contrary. You must be thinking about the thrombosis and concussion mentioned in the health report, but that's just about all that can be confirmed with what we do know.

why exactly are you mad that HuffPo would fire a writer giving credence to tabloid rumours? why is anyone mad about this?
the same people saying HuffPo isn't credible are complaining that they made a decision that makes their website more credible
why are people even questioning her health like that?
I mean there's been at least one guy on this forum who thinks flinching in the middle of an interview constitutes a seizure lmao
i think having a good journalist investigate the rumors wouldn't be a bad thing, just to see what they turn up. i don't really have an opinion on it one way or the other, though.

Investigate what? The rumors are entirely baseless and Hillary has received a fairly clean bill of health considering her age (which there is a link to in this thread). Unlike Trump's 'letter of health', it wasn't written in 5 minutes by a suspiciously overeager gastroenterologist.
There's no reason to give validity to bullshit rumors that were literally started on fucking /pol/ of all places. This is no different than birtherism. Just the right wing pushing bullshit scaremongering after it's apparent that they're losing.

because trumpsters only hope of winning the election now is if hillary dies, so to reassure themselves they've spread this baseless rumour about her actually being super totally ill and being unable to do anything
[QUOTE=Rubs10;50971682]Seriously? This is a claim literally on par with the Obama birth certificate claim.[/QUOTE]
Doesn't really change anything.
[B]The truth does not fear investigation, all this does is fuel the fire of conspiracy.[/B]
A thing obama handily used against the dems with the birth certificate thing... If Obama just posted the Obama birth certificate early on nobody would have made a fuzz, naturally as a politician he played it strategically, making it appear he no longer had the birth certificate or had stuff to hide. The dems propped it up and then when it was big Obama tackled them all down again by releasing it with a big sigh of 'srsly u gyz? srsly???'
Hillary however is showing again she does not have Obama's elegance, that or she actually has something to hide. Her attacking trump for his health solidifies that even more, turning it into a 'he said, she said' shitstorm. If ever she (lets assume the claims are true for conversation) gets a seizure on stage i think her chances on presidency are done in this tactic, its a strategic blunder especially since Obama showed her how its done.
I just cant understand why she wouldn't have played it out better then this...
Just as a point of contention these are the oldest potential presidents since Reagan, hand-waving health issues is fucking stupid since you may just be electing their VP. Conspiracy bullshit aside Clinton had a syncopal episode (the concussion isn't what's important) and Trump essentially had a quack shit out a bill of good health. Candidates' health is a legitimate discussion topic barring absurdity or false claims.
