A concussion? REALLY? How convenient ! by AURaptor

"We'll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false." -- William Casey, Reagan's presidential campaign manager & CIA Director (from first staff meeting in 1981)

Quote:
The Associated Press, citing unnamed aides, reported that Clinton is not expected to testify at a Thursday congressional hearing on the Benghazi attack that killed four Americans.

Sounds like she was not expected to testify, and still isn't expected to testify. Do you have any solid evidence that this is "BS" and there is no concussion, or do you just enjoy tossing out accusations as "claims" with no basis in "fact"?

Wait - we all know the answer to that already.

She WAS definitely expected to testify,next Thursday, before this " event ".

Secretary Clinton had been scheduled to testify on Capitol Hill Thursday about the deadly attack in Benghazi, Libya, in September that killed four Americans, including the U.S. ambassador.

She's the Sec of State. It's HER business to testify, as it should have been HER who appeared on those 5 Sun a.m. t.v. shows, instead of Susan Rice.

Yup, Mike, we sure do. I didn't see anywhere it said she WOULDN'T testify, did you? I assume it will be put off until she is well enough; I don't see her having suffered a concussion as stopping her from testifying when she's recovered.

And oh, how sweet...a HARD-working woman gets a bug, gets dehydrated, faints and gets a concussion, and all Rap can do is sneer "conspiracy!" His blind, determined hatred is really sad; nobody else here on the left is SO determined in their hatred of anything and everything on the right. He is so consumed by his, it must leave little else for him to enjoy in his life.

I hope she feels better soonest. No surprise she didn't take care of herself, as much as she runs all over the world for the country.

Anyone notice a pattern here ? Flu, concussion, blood clot. What next...cancer? Good grief. While I don't doubt she's a terrible wreck, health wise ( I mean, just look at her! ) this story gets more and more bizarre.

They discover this blood clot on a " follow up " visit to the doctor. Excuse me, but don't you have to first SEE a doctor, before you can then have a follow up visit ? Through all this, I don't recall at any time where she saw a doctor until the " follow up" visit. Which is weird, because most folks who suffer a concussion DO go see a doctor.( where upon there's an actual diagnosis of said trauma. )

Hello,

I don't know, Mr. Raptor. I'm not privy to her intimate life. Since you are, when was the last time she saw her gynecologist? Who condcted her last breast exam? Inquiring minds don't need to know.

Unlike you, I make the logical assumption that someone who gets very ill, misses a lot of work, and conks out unexpectedly has seen a physician.

You're right, Mr. Raptor. She is a public figure. I suppose if she'd seen a doctor, and someone actually cared enough to know about it, they could learn of the fact after a ten second web search.

I'm guessing the statement was signed " Hillary's Doctor " , huh ?

In all of her public life, spanning back 20 years, where she's been drama free w/ regards to her health, it just seems odd to me that, all of a sudden, as the Benghazi hearings are on the schedule, she's suddenly beset with maladies, injuries and then a medical condition.

You may not think anything of it, but I sure as hell do. Could be that her conscious is weighing on her, and this is the outcome. Who knows ? We're TOLD that she's still going to testify, even before John Kerry is confirmed. I still think, at the very least, what she knows will show incredible incompetence, up and down the line, if nothing else. The media will spin it, of course, as it's already done, to give cover to Obama and his administration.

Thank you, Anthony. The fact that, because it wasn't splashed all over the front pages, Rap didn't believe she'd seen a doctor, was pretty amazing. One generally DOES see a doctor when one passes out and has a concussion, doesn't one? And who, I wonder, would determine she HAD a concussion, except a doctor?

He sometimes really does approach PN in his tin-hat thinking. A statement mentioning her seeing a doctor MUST have been signed "a doctor"...the stress she's been under for the past four years at her age couldn't POSSIBLY account for all the health problems she's having, it MUST be her conscience causing it all. There simply MUST be a conspiracy here, there must, there must, 'cuz normal life just isn't possible for her, or Obama, or anyone on the left...it's all gotta be a conspiracy, all of it.

So sad. Especially when he'll go to the lengths he does to come up with some kind of theory that fits his preconception..

Tell us all, O oracle, what do you make of HW Bush's sudden decline in health? I mean, three years ago he was skydiving, fer chrissakes! And now he's suddenly and mysteriously in the hospital for some unnamed illness. What are the Bush family trying to cover up, exactly?

I guess some @ NBC are 'crazy' too, huh?

The top science reporter for NBC News raised questions Monday about Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s hospitalization, raising the possibility the blood clot causing isn’t linked to an earlier concussion.

“All we have is a statement from her office. The hospital isn’t saying anything and the statement from her [office] says that she had this blood clot that stemmed from the concussion and she’s being treated with blood-thinning drugs,” Bazell continued. “The problem is that usually when blood clots come from concussions, they can’t be treated with blood [thinners.] So either it’s not really related to the concussion and she’s got a blood clot in her leg or something, or there’s something else going on that we’re not being told. And right now, we’re just sort of seeking that clarification and hoping for the best as she’s being observed.”

If the blood clot is unrelated to the concussion, then why is it being claimed as such ? Would make more sense to say, that in treating her, they found something else, and just stick with the facts. And the NBC reporter does have a point, as to why we're just hearing from Hillary's people, and nothing from the doctors who treated her.

"Dr. Sanjay Gupta, CNN chief medical correspondent, says the fact that Clinton's clot is being treated with anticoagulants may offer a clue to the clot's location.

"I think it's very unlikely this is a blood clot on top of the brain or around the brain specifically, because you just don't treat blood clots on the brain that way," Gupta said. "That would worsen the bleeding."

Gupta aslo mentioned her extensive air travel and recent inactivity as possible causes."

Hello,

You're not asking questions. You're jumping to conclusions. First her illness was invented, a timely excuse. Then she never actually saw any doctors. Until she did. Now she has a real illness or condition, but it is being treated in a way that makes you think... well, it doesn't make you think much. You're sort of just shouting "Ah ha!" every time anyone says anything about her. But even if you get an "Ah ha!" about her treatment being for something as yet undeclared, you'd be forced to admit her illness itself wasn't the timely fabrication you hoped for.

But it doesn't matter how often you are wrong. As long as you find something, somewhere that seems remotely peculiar, you're a winner.

Yeah, Jong, I heard Gupta saying exactly that. What exactly would be the conspiracy if her office got screwed up, considering the recent concussion, and thought they were connected? Are they doctors? What would be the gain of a "conspiracy" around that??

Or, more like (but far less dramatic for Rap):

Quote:
More likely, the concussion led more indirectly to the clot. Patients recovering from such a fall often stick to a period of bed rest and immobility that can trigger a clot outside of the brain. “If there is post concussive syndrome, you have persistent headaches, dizziness, nausea, and you feel poorly, so people end up lying in bed, which is a set up for a clot developing in the leg,” says Scwamm.

Clinton apparently has a history of blood clots. She was treated for one that formed behind the right knee in 1998 while campaigning for the Senate. Her extensive travel schedule — she is the most traveled Secretary of State in U.S. history — may also put her at increased risk. Lengthy plane rides with limited mobility are known to increase the chances of clot formation, especially for those who may be predisposed to them, either due to their genetic makeup or medications they may be taking, such as oral contraceptives or hormone treatments that boost the risk of clots. http://healthland.time.com/2012/12/31/hillary-clinton-hospitalized-for

Yeah. That. Give it up, little man. Find another conspiracy theory to milk. This one is just making you look sillier than usual.

America loves a winner!

Awww Niki, did I make fun of your wonder woman, Hillary ?

Faux health conditions aside, you can't deny the timing of all this, and the report on Benghazi. And about that, 4 Americans were killed, and not a damn thing was done about it.

Why were US military leaders told to stand down ?

Navy Replaces Admiral Leading Mideast Strike Group Because of Ongoing Investigation

In an unusual move, the Navy has replaced an admiral commanding an aircraft carrier strike group while it is deployed to the Middle East. The replacement was prompted by an Inspector General’s investigation of allegations of inappropriate leadership judgment.
Rear Adm. Charles M. Gaouette, the commander of the USS John C. Stennis strike group, is being returned to the United States for temporary reassignment.
In a statement the Navy said it had approved a request made by Vice Adm. John W. Miller, the Commander of U.S. Naval Forces Central Command, to temporarily reassign Gaouette “pending the results of an investigation by the Navy Inspector General.”

4 dead Americans, no response by the military, Navy reassigning Rear Admirals... yep. Just another typical day in the Obama administration.

Don't ask, so no one will have to tell, huh?

Well, to hear you tell it, they're both biased sources and not to be trusted.

Are you saying you mischaracterized them?

Kinda like how the right insists that nothing be done when there are 20 dead American school children, no response from the NRA, and the so-called "leadership" in the GOP calls for more guns. Just a typical brain-dead day for conservative fucktard teabaggers like Rappy.

Ooops, turns out we were wrong after all:

Quote:
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was treated with blood thinners on Monday at a New York hospital to help dissolve a blood clot in her head and doctors were confident she would make a full recovery.

Clinton was admitted to New York Presbyterian Hospital on Sunday due to the clot that was discovered during a follow-up exam related to a concussion she suffered this month.

The clot was located in the vein between the brain and and the skull behind Clinton's right ear and did not result in any stroke or neurological damage, her doctors said in a statement.

Clinton was treated with blood thinners to help dissolve the clot and would be released once the medication dose had been established, they said. http://www.cnn.com/2012/12/31/politics/hillary-clinton-hospitalized/in
dex.html?hpt=hp_t2

So I guess Rap can go back to his original conspiracy theory...I'm sure he will be heartened by the news.

Has nothing to do, of course, with the fact that things come out over time and the MSM reports what it knows (or thinks) at the time...of course not...

I believe in solving problems, not sharing them.

I'll see ya one crazy and raise ya two...

Yanno, if you want to talk about TIMING... well, during the Iran Contra investigation, Congress was busy going up the chain of command by crawling up the ass of each person involved, emerging through the mouth, and entering the ass of the next person up the ladder. They were determined to find out who had knowledge of that little illegal fiasco. They had just gotten through with Ollie North and were about to depose (head of CIA) William Casey when,... well, wouldn't ya know "he died". Of a brain tumor, no less! I guess that made him pretty permanently unavailable for questioning, eh?

What was the brain tumor made of? Lead?

And then Reagan conveniently got Alzheimer's and couldn't remember whether he was taking a shit or eating spaghetti.

Again, VERY convenient, eh?

Yep, apparently he got up right in the middle of lunch, and then went kayaking for no reason and suddenly got real dead...
*eyeroll*
It wasn't that they did it, it was not even trying to hide it that pissed me off, and I *still* burn whenever anyone mentions that whole goddamn mess in Nicaruagua....

I hated North, mind you, but he had a certain "stays-bought" kind of integrity I respected, and was quite competent despite being the scum of the earth - not to mention having been all manner of clever in his testimony, leaving them chasing their tails for the most part.
Didn't make me hate him even one whit less.
