Do those rightwing bastards at FOX still think Hillary is faking a concussion?

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

Now that she's in the hospital for a blood clot, I'm sure we can expect an apology from their on-air "talent" a week from never:

Following the State Department's announcement, Fox News contributor John Bolton, appearing on On The Record, suggested Clinton was faking "diplomatic illness" to avoid testifying about Benghazi. The State Department's Victoria Nuland lashed out at Bolton for his remarks, labeling them "wild speculation based on no information."


Fox's Special Report was next to take a stab at Clinton. A regular Fox News guest and contributor to the show, Charles Krauthammer, claimed Clinton is "suffering from acute Benghazi allergy which causes lightheadedness when she hears the word 'Benghazi.'"


During Fox's The O'Reilly Factor, host Bill O'Reilly said of Clinton's concussion: "If she was in the NFL I wouldn't let her play, but I think she can make a phone call."


Finally, during Fox's Hannity, host Sean Hannity lauded Krauthammer for describing Clinton's concussion as the result of a "Benghazi allergy" during his appearance on Special Report, prompting the two to laugh at Clinton's expense.

4. fox is garbage. that's why i'm amazed when anyone tries to even reason with them.

there is no reasoning. It's only about votes and power.

2. The FCC should look heavily into this nonsense

It's one thing to ding politicians but to infer their illnesses as fake is another. Such abusive, hatred-filled diatribes should be actionable, and at the very least look askance at being able to operate as a news organization.

3. It'll Never Happen. Janet Jackson's boob was much more of a threat

to our American way of life then constant lying and misrepresentation of facts.

6. Yes, but Bush was running the show then

All it would take is an Executive Order by Obama to get the commission going, and action can be taken. Pure and simple.

7. I Appreciate Your Passion on the Subject

However, I doubt any politician, any President, would issue an Executive Order to investigate the media. The howling that it violates the 1st Amendment and the howling of FOX in this specific case alleging Obama is out to get them because they supported Romney would be DEAFENING. It's a no-win for Obama and would distract from other things on his agenda.

Sorry to be so cynical.

8. At what point does obsessive disdain for right-wingers become pathological?

I'm seriously worried about my mental health where right-wingers are concerned. At what point is the radicalism and the destruction of our way of life by a faction of the population enough to trigger action toward a resolution?
