(ThyBlackMan.com) Even though I’ve read the Constitution many times, I had to check it again just to be sure I hadn’t missed what Hillary is demanding. Not only does Hillary Clinton have no constitutional authority to demand that the media stop discussing her obvious health condition, neither is there any precedent for same.
Thomas Eagleton was afforded no such concessions. In 1972 he was forced to resign as Democratic vice presidential nominee to George McGovern, the Democratic presidential nominee. Eagleton wasn’t having coughing attacks, he wasn’t staggering and falling, he wasn’t delaying the start of the vice presidential debates by spending a suspiciously long period of time in the bathroom; he wasn’t having seizures in public; and he didn’t have hearing devices secreted in his ear during extended interviews and debates. He wasn’t secreted away for days at a time only to appear before near-empty room campaign rallies and then disappear from public sight for an extended period of days, time after time after time.
Eagleton suffered from depression most of his life. His crime was that he had been hospitalized for same and attempted to conceal his hospital stays from the public. His attempt at secrecy supposedly embarrassed McGovern, and Eagleton was forced to drop out of the race.
Compared to Eagleton, isn’t what Clinton is trying to pull off demonstrably more egregious? Is she not attempting to deceive the voters, her party and in fact the United State as a whole?
Hillary Clinton is running for office in the United States of America, not some despotic, third-world, tribalistic country. The American people have the right to demand the facts pursuant to her health crisis. She, however, does not have the right to demand her health not be an issue.
There is no precedent for her aides to viciously attack David Martosko, U.S. political editor for the Daily Mail, for “commenting about Clinton’s tired, listless appearance at a press conference on Friday [Sept. 9].” (See: “Clinton Aides Attack, Threaten Reporter for Saying Hillary Looked ‘Low Energy’ at Friday Press Conference,” Kristinn Taylor, Sept. 10, 2016)
Was Martosko supposed to lie to the public by writing something that was untrue that ignored important details pursuant to her ability to function as president, if she were to win in November?
Apparently, that’s exactly what the Clinton campaign is demanding. As Taylor wrote: “When reporters are publicly attacked by high-ranking political operatives it is not just meant to intimidate that reporter, it is meant to ‘other’ him by separating him from the herd and intimidate other reporters from following his lead.”
Certainly, anyone can appreciate that it’s not easy for a husband to watch his wife be exposed to the harsh light of public scrutiny, but Bill Clinton has no right to lash out at those of us who are determined in the best interest of the country to reveal the truth concerning Hillary’s health. He doesn’t mind embarrassing her with his serial philandering. But I digress.
Hillary is the presidential candidate for his party, and the public has the right to know the truth. Republican presidential nominee Richard Nixon was in perfect health at his televised presidential debate in 1960, apart from a flu, which gave him the appearance of looking gray and in poor health compared to the Democratic nominee John Kennedy, who was tanned and fit looking. History has long argued that Nixon’s appearance caused by the flu that cost him the election.
Whether that is factual or not, it is still discussed 50 years later. Hillary Clinton isn’t suffering from the flu. Her health is in crisis, and the American people have the right to know that the person claiming to be fit and up to the rigors of the office she seeks will truthfully be able to carry out the duties of said office.
It is unconscionable for Clinton’s minion in Congress and in the media to insult the American public by branding them as “quite sexist” for daring to seek the truth about Hillary Clinton the candidate so as to make an informed decision about whether or not to vote for her. And her health certainly isn’t a non-issue.
Americans suffered attacks by the Obama minions, being called racists for attempting to learn more about his qualifications and background. That was unfair then, and this is more so now, considering that knowing more about Obama may have spared America and the world eight years of his failures.
Hillary Clinton has the keys to end all questions and concerns about her health. She can release all information pursuant to her obviously failing health. Opening a jar of pickles (that most believe had the top loosened ahead of time) on a late-night talk show doesn’t prove good health. Nor does just saying you are fine.
The more public images the American people see of Hillary Clinton that vividly show her health in frightening decline, the more important it is for Clinton to reveal the truth of her failing health.
And we’re not prepared to believe it is singularly pneumonia that is causing her failing health, unless it is in conjunction with something far more serious.
