Huffington Post writer terminated after article about Hillary's health issues - Polidicks

[QUOTE=elfbarf;50972082]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.[/QUOTE] if there have been alleged anonymous staffers saying things, perhaps someone should look into it, not so much to prove it but to conclusively disprove it.

[QUOTE=Blizzerd;50972188][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...[/QUOTE] ...she's already released her doctor's letter that specifically details the last 10 years of her medical history? What else do you want her to do, open-source her personal medical history back to 1960? Trump's the one who released a blatantly falsified/dishonest doctor's letter, and who's refusing to release his tax returns - both things Hillary did [I]without ever being pressured to[/I]. Obviously this means he has something to hide, right?

[QUOTE=Blizzerd;50972188][B]The truth does not fear investigation, all this does is fuel the fire of conspiracy.[/B] -snip- [/QUOTE] Sort of true, but imagine if a journalist writes about say 911 being an inside job, the employer would rather be done with them than have their outlet become a mouth piece for those views. Same thing here I guess, something which is seen as a conspiracy theory peddled by people who are ideologically opposed to the media outlets core message. Donald, Republicans and talk show hosts are the only people who take these health things serious and they're the people who would gain the most from Hillary losing the race. Its just a smear, why should any paper be obliged to cover propaganda? Can I make some bullshit up then throw my toys around when papers refuse to cover it?

[QUOTE=smurfy;50972282]The irony of saying this while posting an article from Zero Hedge is outstanding[/QUOTE] You mean this front-page breaking news report is [I]biased[/I]? [I]Greek 'Thought Police' Prosecute Bishop For (Accurately) Calling 'Refugees', "Illegal Migrants"[/I] haha christ HuffPo is the NYT compared to this. Half the articles are scaremongering about how you need to buy gold and how the big ugly mean government is going to try to steal all your gold.

Unsurprising that the Huffington Post pulls shit like this, they're hard to take seriously most of the time because it's a clusterfuck over there. [QUOTE=.Isak.;50971762]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.[/QUOTE]I mean there are much more important and relevant things to criticize than two issues that I share in common with her and I'm [I]far[/I] younger and in pretty okay shape. Criticizing health issues like that is just grasping at straws, ignoring big mountains of [U]real[/U] issues people can have. You can bet your ass though some dumb motherfucker is going to base their vote around this shit.

Pretty arrogant that this dude actually thinks his life could be in danger for writing a freaking blog about a widely debunked Clinton conspiracy theory. I'm a little astounded that fringe conspiracies like these have become so present in our political discourse that we're just kind of numb to them.

[QUOTE=Blizzerd;50972188][B]The truth does not fear investigation, all this does is fuel the fire of conspiracy.[/B][/QUOTE] So what about Trump's tax returns?

[QUOTE=Rubs10;50971659]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.[/QUOTE] A few of the journalists denouncing people for questioning the Hillary's health, actually started asking the same questions about trump. A tad hypocritical.

Weird case this. I do think the HuffPo should be probably be banned a source though to balance things out. They're perhaps not as bad as Breitbart but they still put out a lot of crap. To be quite honest I don't think either candidate has any health problems other than the ones they've revealed or the fact that they're both old. I mean, it is quite amazing I think that they're both quite advanced in age and this wouldn't have changed if Bernie got the nomination.

[QUOTE=KillerJaguar;50972705]So what about Trump's tax returns?[/QUOTE] [QUOTE=Blizzerd;50972188][B]The truth does not fear investigation, all this does is fuel the fire of conspiracy.[/quote][/B] Trump is an idiot and there is probably something fishy or wrong with his taxes. either he is far poorer then he wants to pretend, he is far corrupter then he wants to pretend on the case of taxes or he just does not want to incriminate himself in one of his legal cases. Ive said publicly i like trump more then Hillary, and think voting Hillary is a mistake, but i have never denied trump is corrupt, crazy and a disaster for this country... just that Hillary is worse.

[QUOTE=KillerJaguar;50972705]So what about Trump's tax returns?[/QUOTE] He says that he has an audit against him, and once that clears up then he'll release them.

I thought the questions about Clinton's health were in regards to her blood clot tbh. Didn't realize people were so aggressively trying to shush up any dissent about her health though damn. :v:

[QUOTE=KillerJaguar;50972705]So what about Trump's tax returns?[/QUOTE] B-but he's under audit!

[QUOTE=phaedon;50972950]B-but he's under audit![/QUOTE] He'll release his tax returns right when he pivots to the centre and becomes more presidential.

[QUOTE=DuCT;50972865]He says that he has an audit against him, and once that clears up then he'll release them.[/QUOTE] Trump gets a pass for being under investigation unlike Hillary. He's innocent until proven guilty while she's guilty until proven innocent.

[QUOTE=KillerJaguar;50973001]Trump gets a pass for being under investigation unlike Hillary. He's innocent until proven guilty while she's guilty until proven innocent.[/QUOTE] I'm just repeating what Trump said. You asked, so I thought I'd give you an answer straight from the source. And the investigations are/were for different things.

[QUOTE=KillerJaguar;50973001]Trump gets a pass for being under investigation unlike Hillary. He's innocent until proven guilty while she's guilty until proven innocent.[/QUOTE] guilty until proven innocent? even that's not going to satisfy people [editline]30th August 2016[/editline] [QUOTE=Solomon;50972870]I thought the questions about Clinton's health were in regards to her blood clot tbh. Didn't realize people were so aggressively trying to shush up any dissent about her health though damn. :v:[/QUOTE] it's more because its baseless rumours that damage the reputation of the organisations reporting on it

Did anyone actually read the article? One of the dudes stories is predicated on outright lies and goes off on conspiratorial tangents.

[QUOTE=KillerJaguar;50973001]Trump gets a pass for being under investigation unlike Hillary. He's innocent until proven guilty while she's guilty until proven innocent.[/QUOTE] Nah its just that it makes sense that he wont reveal it if he is under audit. its like when asked to show his kitchen to say 'im currently under suspicion of murder and the cops can look into my kitchen yet cus they dont have a warrant, so no, im not showing you my kitchen' [editline]30th August 2016[/editline] [QUOTE=KillerJaguar;50973001]Trump gets a pass for being under investigation unlike Hillary. He's innocent until proven guilty while she's guilty until proven innocent.[/QUOTE] We both know both of them are as guilty as fuck on most of the allegations against them concerning corruption... you are basically defending her for her being treated unfairly while they both get the same treatment in relation to the severity of the suspected transgression. trump probably did tax fraud, Hillary probably did election fraud.

Yeah, people can't know how to do everything and shouldn't be expected to either, but he's also consistently picking idiots for his campaign staff. Why on earth would you bet on the idiot?

They're grasping onto anything and everything.
