Hillary Clinton’s admission to a New York hospital for a blood clot stemming from her recent concussion has much of the Twitter-sphere engaging in a round of public shaming.

Some conservatives initially accused Clinton of faking her illness in order to avoid a scheduled date with a House committee holding hearings about the deaths of four Americans in Benghazi, Libya.

Now that her condition has apparently deteriorated, those conservatives are being called out.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

1. What depths will the right go?

[Joe Bacon]

14. Republicans believe that the end justifies the means.

Which proves that American Republicans operate the same way as Soviet Bolsheviks. There is nothing they will not do to destroy the country so they can get into absolute power.

[FreeBC]

2. Once again, republican projection

It seems reasonable if not probable to them that Clinton would do something so underhanded and cowardly, because that's what they would do.

[GoCubsGo]

30. Bingo!

It's all about projection with those assholes.

[Ineeda]

46. Not only would but actually have done.

Except they didn't even use the excuse of illness. They show up alright, but then have absolutely no memory of whatever they're being questioned about. Amazing, isn't it, that so many very smart people can't remember a damn thing when being questioned by Congress. And there is never a price to pay because IOKIYAR.

[Protalker]

3. Hillary the fighter

Use that incredibly strong will to hesl yourself. I voted for her in 2008 and will in 2016. I loved her when she called out the far right conspiracy for what it was. God bless.

[Beacool]

4. I hope that they all get their comeuppance.

I particularly wish that their wrath fall on Bolton and West, two who are not pundits and should have known better. Shame on them!!!

[Joe Bacon]

15. They know no shame.

Especially Allen West. Everywhere he goes, he leaves a trail of slime.

[Beacool]

45. Too true...............

[democrattotheend]

5. How do we know she's not also faking the blood clot?

To avoid testifying in January?

:snark:

Why is the snark tag not working?

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

13. FOX regular Tammy Bruce is already doubling down on the stupid

These wingnuts have no sense of shame.

All from tonight:

Tammy Bruce ‏@HeyTammyBruce
I've never believed the "fall & concussion" BS. The 1st instinct of these people is to lie. We shall see...

Tammy Bruce ‏@HeyTammyBruce
And after Benghazi, why is no one suggesting this might be about REHAB ? @CarlDeal1 @richardgrenell @instapundit

Tammy Bruce ‏@HeyTammyBruce
We were never dealing w flu, fall, concussion. Don't think it's cancer. Probably addiction issue and/or nervous breakdown.

Tammy Bruce ‏@HeyTammyBruce
So, the flu to dizzy to fall to concussion to blood clot. Next==> cankles.

Tammy Bruce ‏@HeyTammyBruce
Some of you libs & progs might not even know yet that you want to unfollow me. But don't worry, I'm taking care of that for you

http://twitter.com/HeyTammyBruce

[Hekate]

19. WTF? "Cankles"? Tammy is sickening

"So, the flu to dizzy to fall to concussion to blood clot. Next==> cankles."

Where's my air-sickness bag when I need it?

[Rob H.]

24. "Probably addiction issue and/or nervous breakdown"?

Fuck her. I made the mistake of actually looking at her Twitter feed and feel dumber now for having read any of it.

[marble falls]

35. Stupid AND unfeeling. Over qualified to be on Fox.

[Rozlee]

41. Fox News--where all the High School mean girls wind up.

Including honorary ones like Sean Hannity and Brian Kilmeade. That entire station strikes me as an educational playground for sociopaths. They make fun of people on food stamps, cheer American jobs being sent overseas, egg on racism, paint the elderly as well-to-do and deserving of cuts in benefits and mock people who are injured and hospitalized. And that's on their nicer days. Why anyone would expect anything better from this rhymes-with-witch or any of their contributors or wingnuts in general is beyond me. I'm not charitable enough to ascribe any decency to them at all.

[Skittles]

49. who IS this ugly gal

I would be FIRED for behaving that ugly towards ANY human being

[GoCubsGo]

31. It's not working because there is no "snark" tag.

Perhaps you meant "sarcasm"... ?

[samsingh]

6. repugs have an ugly face that will never change

[SoapBox]

9. ...ditto.

[kelliekat44]

7. Mass tweets to all the haters. nt

[young_at_heart]

8. I saw the comments on the Post's story and had to stop reading

There were so many nasty (or worse) comments, mostly by the same disgusting people that I gave up. They do have moderators deleting the bad ones.

[loudsue]

10. The repukes did the same thing to Andy when he had cancer.

They are sicker than any democrat will ever be.

[UtahLib]

11. They make it so difficult to not hate. n/t

[Iwillnevergiveup]

12. Not going to read any of them

because they are hypocritical cowards, every one. Oh yes, and liars.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

18. yep. reading that sewage from that Tammy Bruce person was enough...Yecch.

Never heard of her before. How disgusting.

[Cha]

16. THANK You for this Outstanding Post, Ade..

Excellent info.. they should be Shamed. Idiots.

[Cha]

17. Tweet from scary lawyerguy..

scary lawyerguy

@scarylawyerguy The sound of journos and RW hacks furiously scrubbing their TL of tweets questioning Hillary Clinton's concussion & illness.

[Catherine Vincent]

20. I know you guys will dislike me for this but...

To be fair...If it was the other way around and we were talking about say...Palin or Bauchman, I think some of us would have thought the same (saying she was faking it).

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

22. yes, a few random commenters might say something like that, but

the key difference is, these are Republican officials, conservatives with ties to GOP leadership and people their party puts out there as their spokespeople.
We're not dealing with the antics of anonymous discussion board folks. These people speak for the GOP, and get paid handsomely to do so.

[proud2BlibKansan]

55. I disagree and look to GHW Bush's recent illness for evidence

Yes there were a few bad comments but nowhere near the number of bad comments aimed at Hilary Clinton. And nowhere near as hateful.

[tavalon]

21. Jackasses all.

I hope Sec. Clinton is okay.

[graham4anything]

23. The biggest revenge to haters was Obama elected twice, then Hillary45 being elected twice

That is better use of revenge than any other

Look how mad the rightwing is.
Revenge was election eve 2008 and 2012 and the joy of America, minus the haters.

[ChisolmTrailDem]

25. All the usual suspects...

These right-wingers are human filth. What is it going to take torid ourselves of these vile creatures? I have an extremely pathological hatred of these so-called "people" and I would dance a jig if every last one of them simply vanished into thin air. Where is my frickin' genie in a bottle?

[GoCubsGo]

32. Not so sure about the "human" part.

But, "filth" is a definite understatement. Don't waste your energy hating them. They are definitely not worth the effort it takes. Let 'em stew in their own hatred, and don't let them drag you into their shitstew with them.

[lunatica]

33. Just remember that the louder they scream the more desperate they are

They've lost the election and they're losing their precious party. So in their hatred and fear if they can't have their way then they're going to ruin it for everyone else. They are into destroying the country in any case because they've been having a major tantrum since 2008.

[CountAllVotes]

27. Get well soon Madame Secretary

and stay off airplanes please!

& recommend.

[SummerSnow]

28. They are so fucking stupid it has a stench

[randome]

36. Stupid would be okay, in a way. But they have no class and no style.

[Diclotican]

29. Adenoid_Hynkel

Adenoid_Hynkel

They do not know any shame do they...

I hope Hillary Clinton get well - and be treated for the illness she have.. She have been a great Secretary of State for the US - And is respected in most corners of the world... Something the gangs who insulting her sickness are in no way compatible to be..

Diclotican

[marble falls]

34. Unbeleivable. Can't wait to hear O'Rielly offer her a speedy recovery while failing to mention ...

his previous nastiness. Wonder what crap Coulter dumped.

[proReality]

37. I don't recall a thing that woman ever backed down from, she faced everything head on

So the RW idiots should have been called out from the beginning.

[underpants]

38. I thought she just went for a hike on the Appalachian Trail

oh was I supposed to not mention that?

[underpants]

39. But they have video of her actually following the balloon with her eyes for like 10 seconds

oh was I supposed to not mention that?

[underpants]

40. WMD

oh was I supposed to not mention that?

[NYC Liberal]

42. How many mainstream, influential Dems questioned Bush's "pretzel" incident

or his many falls resulting in cuts and bruises all over his face?





Even though Bush is an alcoholic I don't recall any influential Dems saying what was obvious. And it's a hell of a lot more likely that Bush was drinking than Hillary is faking an illness (which would only delay testimony, not prevent it).

No one questioned his weird "coke jaw"-esque facial tic either.

[Skittles]

57. I remember him saying he knew he was not conked out for long

because his dog "never moved"......whose dog doesn't move when its master collapses???

[Spirochete]

43. Of course it's a hoax

After all - senior citizens never have health issues. That's why we need to get rid of medicare - it's totally unnecessary.

[Divine Discontent]

54. exactly... and thereby none of those on that list will get any sympathy from me whenever they have

health crisis from getting older. How sickening to see them mock a senior citizen. They are vile inhumane monsters, and shouldn't reproduce, to be blunt.

[MrScorpio]

44. Apparently, calling oneself a "conservative" is just justification to be an asshole nt

[Kyad06]

47. Low Life slime

And how many newspapers carry the facist ravings of a so called journalist like SourKraut. Wonder if any will dump that pos now ? doubtful

[Rider3]

48. She already accepted blame

She accepted blame when all the Republicans went after Susan Rice. Don't they remember? This was about a month ago, anyway.

[ProudProgressiveNow]

50. K&R nt

[RKP5637]

51. Perhaps it's time for republicans to consider joining the human race. n/t

[iamthebandfanman]

52. surprising to no one im sure lol

i mean,
we are talking about the same group of people who said michael j fox was faking his illness on purpose :p

[Claybrains]

53. Someone needs to punch these futards in the fartbox

[xxqqqzme]

56. The rethugs are

dusting off the rabid Clinton hate rhetoric. It's been 12 years after all since their hate filled heydays of non-stop slamming of the Clintons. My mother and sisters are extreme Hillary haters. I remember what it was like then. They're just trying to get their groove back.

[DeSwiss]
