Obamacare truthers: Woman faked faint at Obama event today

[UCmeNdc]

A young woman nearly fainted at President Obama’s press event this morning at the White House to discuss the problems with the Obamacare exchange Web site, and to talk about some of the people who have already been helped by the Affordable Care Act exchanges.

But the rightwing is outraged. They calling the woman a plant, and claim her fainting spell was planned in advance.

What kind of sick, deluded person would fake a story in order to trick the American people about the Affordable Care Act?

Oh yeah, Sean Hannity did.

1. Here we go again (there is no end to these people)

If they have proof, let's see it. Otherwise................

2. What hateful, repulsive people!

Have you ever fainted? I have. It is obvious just looking at her that this was real. If not, she should immediately get a job in movies, as she in an incredible actress. The eyes, the breathing, the trying to steady herself as she's thinking "This isn't really happening..."

FUCK YOU, SCAMMITY. You are EVERYTHING wrong with America. The irony is, you rag on this poor girl who was smitten by being a part of the President's speech, yet YOU LIE ABOUT THE PRESIDENT EVERY NIGHT.

Again, FUCK YOU.

3. That tape is a text book case of someone fainting - having been there myself, I could narrate

exactly what was going through her head second by second!

What I can't figure out is how Obama was aware something was happening - he really pays attention to the people around him!

9. Probably from the audience reaction

Pointing at her or something. Dana ; )

4. I've been expecting to hear someone say she was a plant

They are beyond predictable, at this point.

5. They are just mad because they didn't think of it. nt

6. Stephanie Miller broadcast this event live during her show

and they were commenting on how one woman looked unwell. I had to jump in the car and head to work before the fainting spell so I didn't hear their reaction.

7. Projection. It's the only thing repigs do right.

[Benton D Struckcheon]

8. Yeah, I've fainted in public places too

Used to do that regularly at least once every summer up until I was about 25 or so. She looks like what I must have looked like right before I went bye bye.

10. There had to be a second fainter

She falls back and to the left, but he turns to his right.

This can only mean there were at least two fainters.

I'm not buying the magic single-fainter theory.

[COLGATE4]

11. Yeah, but the second fainter

was up on the grassy knoll, by the RR tracks.

[Politicalboi]

12. She's pregnant and a diabetic

And she possibly locked her knees. It doesn't matter to them though.

13. Oh, good grief!! What exactly do they think Obama gains from this?

It's not like she swooned into his arms!!!

You can see her hoping, hoping, hoping to just get through!!! Been there myself many times. Not only with fainting but also with IBS! You're outside, it may be hot, the sun may be shining in your eyes, you've been there for an eternity waiting for things to get set up, etc.

It happens!

14. REC for exposure. nt

15. I had to share this with everyone

One of my friends from Sweden mentioned this happening on his page about the woman fainting. He thinks the Republicans and the Tea Party are nuts.

I told him about this and his sarcastic response was "Am I surprised? No, I'm not surprised. If he breathes, it's a threat against liberty."
