So as we near "Nothing will surprise me now...."

 
 
 
What surprises me the most is how the conservatives have gotten behind the Russian supporting candidate.

what on earth is this sudden health thing? who started this rumor? Speaking of "nothing will surprise me now"

You keep posting about "her health" is that the only info you have, the only specificity? "her health" What's that even mean?

The conservative loonisphere is circulating rumors about her health.

One "concern" are the anticoagulants she takes for her thrombosis (http://www.thepoliticalinsider.com/shocking-news-released-about-hillary-rodham-clintons-health-bombshell/).

Breitbart has been alleging she is having seizures on the campaign trail (http://www.breitbart.com/2016-presidential-race/2016/08/11/bizarre-behavior-seizure-allegations-raise-doubts-hillary-clintons-health/)

And, of course, the high priest of conservative looniness, Alex Jones, has a range of speculation concerning HRC's health (http://www.infowars.com/hillary-clintons-health-in-rapid-decline-will-she-even-make-it-to-election-day-at-this-rate/).

"How can we make Hillary seem more incompetent? I know, let's say she has an illness! That'll make people dislike her more."

Speaking of unbelievable....

Evidently, Rudy Giuliani has alzheimer's, as he seems to have erased the 9/11 event from his life. Funny how I remember him always talking about how important he was in that event....

Oh, wait, in full context, plowed over with nuance, Rudy actually meant the non-eight years starting magically on 26 Oct 2001, and of course ending I guess on 19 Jan 2009. I'm sure the red lemmings picked up on the carefully crafted nuance....

Some outlets, such as New York City-based blog Gothamist initially mocked what was framed as a mortifying omission on Giuliani's part but later walked back the assessment after a video of the former mayor's complete remarks emerged, noting that "it appears Rudy is specifically referring to the eight years after Bush signed the Patriot Act" (on 26 October 2001).

Of course it is also BS that there were "no successful radical Islamic terrorist attack in the United States" during that magical window either. Yeah, we have had more attacks in the last couple years, but that wasn't what Rudy claimed....And the Shrub still has the golden Turd of "successful radical Islamic terrorist attack in the United States".
 
We didn't need the Patriot Act to stop 9/11, we needed an Executive Branch that took the terror threat seriously.

Yeah...but as this thread you started alludes, it is getting very hard to spot details like this, as every other rightwinger is often saying batshit insane stuff. So it wasn't that hard to believe that Rudy simply erased 9/11 from his speech narrative...

The other day I watched at Guliani bitched about how Hillary wasn't asked about the shooter's father being behind her.
When the interviewer countered that she had been asked, many times,
Guliani bitched that her answer was 'thank you.'

So, if he knew her answer to the question, saying she was never asked the question was a straight-up lie.
At this point I see no reason to give him the benefit of the doubt in any statement hemakes...

That is a good point. The video media has gotten incredibly lazy this election cycle... or maybe tired? The bloggers just grab whatever shit they can find quickly.

I know Trump has been taken out of context a few times (a few of the terribly many that he wasn't). The Internet sucks. Let's turn it off!
 
The covering for Giuliani reminds me of the following quote: "other than that Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?"

If you're counting from October 2001 then it's not eight years before Obama came, it's a lot closer to 7 years. The use of "eight years" without any additional clarifying language makes it extremely reasonable for a listener to assume that he meant the Bush Presidency.

On the bright side, compared to Trump, Giuliani is a grand orator.

I must admit to a bit of schadenfreude, seeing how those who have tied themselves to the boat anchor called Trump are dragged down into the depths of Trump's fact-free zone. It's like watching them struggle in quicksand, anticipating the moment when their nose slips below the surface....

"Since the passing of the Patriot Act, there haven't been any Islamic Attacks in the US until Obama was President." Of course, hard to really take anyone serious when they exclude the largest terror attack in recent memory from a timeline sample.

FDR - "America has never been safer in wartime, why in fact, in the last 4 years, we haven't had a single attack on American soil."

No matter the truth value of the statement, it is still a post hoc ergo propter hoc fallacy.
