The Secretary of State has been undergoing treatment for a blood clot just below her ear that was reportedly caused by the concussion she suffered in mid-December. She is expected to make a complete recovery. NBC News chief science correspondent Robert Bazell reports.
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was admitted to a New York City hospital on Sunday after doctors discovered that a blood clot had formed, the State Department said in a statement.
Philippe Reines, a deputy assistant secretary, said in the statement that the clot stems from a concussion Clinton sustained several weeks ago.
Reines said that Clinton, 65, is being treated with anticoagulants at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital in Manhattan. She will be monitored there for the next 48 hours, he said.
“Her doctors will continue to assess her condition, including other issues associated with her concussion," he said. "They will determine if any further action is required.”
Dr. Roshini Raj, a physician at New York University Medical Center and a contributor to the TODAY show, says it’s not at all clear where Clinton’s blood clot is – which is important for understanding how serious her medical condition is.
“It’s a little murky,” Raj told TODAY. It is uncommon for a concussion alone to cause a blood clot. More likely is a blood clot elsewhere from lying in bed to recover from a concussion, Raj said.
Dr. Roshini Raj, an attending physician at NYU Medical Center, speaks with TODAY's Willie Geist about Hillary Clinton's blood clot complication, how common it is and what it may mean for her health going forward.

Clinton suffered the concussion from fainting earlier in December. She had been sick for several days with the flu and had canceled a trip to Morocco where she was to officially recognize the Syrian rebels.
Brain injury doctors told NBC News said that although details haven't been made public, initial reports indicate that Clinton may have developed a blood clot in her lower limbs as a result of prolonged rest and inactivity after her recent concussion.
A deep vein thrombosis, known as a DVT, or a dural venous sinus thrombosis, could be two types of blood clots treated with anticoagulants, said Dr. Alex Valadka, a spokesman for the American Association of Neurological Surgeons. A blood clot could be dangerous if it breaks free and lodges in a vital organ, such as the heart.

Clinton, photographed here on Dec. 6 at Dublin City University, canceled a trip to Morocco earlier this month after a bout of flu. She was hospitalized Sunday after doctors discovered a blood clot stemming from a concussion she sustained earlier in the month.
A deep vein thrombosis could be serious, but not necessarily life-threatening, and would require months of treatment with blood-thinning drugs, said Dr. Inam Kureshi, chief of neurosurgery at Hartford Hospital in Hartford, Conn.
"Usually hospitalization is more of a precaution," Kureshi said.
It is possible that Clinton developed a blood clot elsewhere, including her brain. Doctors interviewed would not speculate about treatment or prognosis for the secretary of state.
Days after she fainted, State Department officials said she was at home recovering. Officials also issued a statement from Dr. Lisa Bardack of Mount Kisco Medical Group and Dr. Gigi El-Bayoumi of George Washington University that provided more information about the secretary's condition:
"Secretary Clinton developed a stomach virus, leading to extreme dehydration, and subsequently fainted. Over the course of this week we evaluated her and ultimately determined she had also sustained a concussion. We recommended that the Secretary continue to rest and avoid any strenuous activity, and strongly advised her to cancel all work events for the coming week. We will continue to monitor her progress as she makes a full recovery."
It wasn’t the first time Clinton passed out while sick with a stomach bug. As a U.S. senator representing New York, Clinton fainted in 2005 during a speech in Buffalo after complaining of a stomach virus.
NBC's Robert Bazell tells MSNBC's Chris Jansing that it is unclear how severe the blood clot could be for the health of Sec. of State Hillary Clinton, given lack of specific information about her condition on Sunday evening.
NBC's JoNel Aleccia and Isolde Raftery contributed reporting.



want to buy a bridge?
That's all you got to say? Mangas, you are a pathetic excuse of human being...
Something is really going on she hasn't been seen in public in over 3 weeks..
1) cancelled trip to mideast : stomach flu
2) to testify in Benghazi hearing ; concussion
3) again schedule to testify this week Benghazi : blood clot
WTF and if this is true how will she handle a president campaign 2016 race without having a stroke.. these medical problems has just disqualified her for president and if this is a ploy to not have to testify on Benghazi same affect is now present..
speedy recovery secretary clinton. retire and live a long life out of politics you need it !
Please everyone do not acknowledge this awful post. It is really important not to feed this, it is really bad karma.
OMG!!! Will they EVER stop????????
She will never testify!!
maybe its just her GUILTY CONSCIENCE!!!!!
STFU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Weasel F__K!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
James Mangas the RETARD Worthless PUKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!STFU!!!!!!! You and your ILK are starting to Nauseat Americans!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
it won't be a problem in 2016... she's doing a much harder job than President right now... with TONS of flying..... which is clot development heaven... shes got top flight medical care and shell be back up quick...
I had a relative die from getting a concussion, then blowing off the followup MRI... a week later, he dropped dead instantaneously in the grocery.... listen to the docs people
So, you won't believe reality until the woman actually dies, right?
Are you REALLY that stupid and ignorant?
You are ....... sorry I wish I could say this to your face, people like you are not only pathetic, it's people like you that are draging this great country down. Get well soon Madame Secretary.
Please get well soon, Hillary. You have overcome a lot of hurdles in life, you can do it this time, too.
Happy New Year, Hillary.
OMG, the lengths Bill and Hillary will go. #BenghaziGate
Sadly I have to agree with some of the more negative posts. Anything for a headline and ANYTHING to avoid her having to defend her tenure as SoS. Anything to deflect criticism (call that considered evaluation of accomplishments if any and responsibility for shortcomings many many) and lie, lie, lie.
Brad and ORB,
So, the ONLY thing you would believe is her death, right? Or would you say THAT is faked as they're lowering the casket into the ground?
I mean, you kind is SO eat up with stupidity that you'll believe ANYTHING Faux News puts out, right?
Too bad it didn't move too her Lung!!!!
Musician by night watch out for a thing called Karma. You should never wish ill on anyone. Why are you so angry?
It is not uncommon for clots to develop after the conditions Secretary Clinton has dealt with. Dehydration and a head injury, especially if one is inactive, can lead to a clot developing. Since Secretary Clinton is usually very active, enforced inactivity to recover from the concussion probably contributed to clot formation too. It happens more than people think. My spouse, a very active and healthy person but one who could end up sitting for long periods of time on the job- connected to the phone and computer- developed a blood clot that resulted in a pulmonary embolism (blood clot hitting the lungs). It was fortunate that it was to the lungs and not the heart or brain, as those frequently result in death. As it happened, my spouse recovered without serious aftereffects and certainly Hillary Clinton will too. But it is serious and people need to respect that she needs time to recover. Suggestions that she would "fake" illness to avoid testifying are preposterous. You don't fake blood clots and being on blood thinners. It certainly isn't something to mess around with. But having had such health occurrences certainly does not disqualify her from further political office. After all, we have had disabled presidents, presidential candidates who have had serious medical conditions and many in other offices who have served with much more serious health issues. I hope Secretary Clinton recovers soon.
Get well Hillary. Best Wishes. All haters STFU. It takes quite a twisted mind to not believe that people can fall sick.
If she did die, would they bury her at sea like they did OBL? Don't blood clots cause amnesia?
Hope she gets better, as I would really, really like to hear what she has to say about Benghazi.
It was from all the bad gas pains she was having from all the holiday food or Bill hit her too hard with the lead pipe again that made her have that bad fall. Either way this puts an end to her ever testifying IMO. What ever it takes to keep her off the stand is what they will do. Never thought this country would be run by such a group of fools like we have now not saying Bush 43 was much better.
I did not vote for Bush, but I wish him well with his health problems. I may disagree with his policies, but I respect him for his service.
All of the conservative posters show that the lack of civility and inability to negotiate anything is not just a problem with Republicans in Congress; it would appear that most conservatives do not have a decent bone in their bodies. Everyone of them insists that she is faking, and hope that she dies. May she outlive all of you angry people. Your anger and hatred is what is wrong with this country.
Wasn't it less than a week ago that all these people making vile posts were saying how vile people were when G H W Bush was in the hospital and to show compassion for their fellow man. Yet I remember people saying that although they may not have agreed with him they wished him well. Now you show your true colors. At least most people that disagreed with Bush took the high road while these posters have shown how ugly they truly are.
Get well Miss Secretary, good people are pulling for you.
With good wishes for Secretary Clinton's continued recovery.
And I reported the bunch of you for death-wishing. CoH violation, dudes.
Although i do not agree with her politics, I do very much wish her a speedy recovery.
I do not wish ill on Mrs. Clinton. I just believe that it is extremely "convenient" that she is constantly ill when she is supposed to testify. This is not the first time that an individual has pled "illness" in order not to testify in a trial. I just want to say one thing: Mrs. Clinton, if you are truly ill, please get well and enjoy a leisurely retirement. Mrs. Clinton, if you are playing a political game you will never, ever, be President. Remember that you are sacrificing for the same people who would drop you over the side at the drop of a hat!
Good luck and have a Happy New Year!
Steve-2352647
Same thought, you beat me to it
Hillary pushes herself too hard. I hope she recovers soon.
People without empathy are psychopaths. And oddly enough, hey live predominantly in the red states.
Those pushing to make an issue out embassy attack in Libya aren't doing it because they give a rats azz about our murdered citizens. It's strictly politics and hate.
I wish this woman no ill will. It might seem convenient at this time. I doubt she would orchestrate a serious illness.
some of you people are really SICK IN THE HEAD, I'm guessing you own ALL guns too...
Get well Hillary, our next POTUS 2016.........
I agree next POTUS, but please, not all gun owners are "SICK IN THE HEAD" many of us are good responsible people, don't bring yourself down by hijacking and politicizing the thread.
Get well Madam Secretary
JOHN BOLTON
accused Mrs. Clinton of FAKING
Apology ? ? ?
And that is why John Bolton did NOT deserve the appointment he has been whining and whimpering about for years.
Her god Ba'al is catching up to her nasty, evil Ƌss, you have served your purpose my demon now it is time for you to join me in the fires of ħell, you and my lieutenant George H.W. Bush. :))
If it was one of your relatives that the Obama left hanging there waiting for help wouldn't you want her to testify? They left 4 American's die IMO waiting for help that never came. A bump on the head(if it happen in the first place is pale when compared to the hellish end the other four suffered.
Bush 41 deserves all the respect that this country can muster not 43 FYI but once again that is only my opinion.
What? Has she been at home this whole time? Or was this just in response to being told to still appear before Congress?
The hate spewing from a few of your right wing clowns is beyond disgusting. What pathetic excuses for human beings you are.
spare us your self-righteous ire Charlie, all government officials at that level, regardless of party affiliation, have sold their souls to the highest bidder. Care to guess who that is or do you still believe in the tooth fairy?
You had better watch it Mangas. Hillary is going to be the next President in 2016.
Does it ever occur to all you rwnj haters that there is no time line on when she would have to testify for your witch hunt? I have never seen so much vile. Get well soon Madame Secretary and President GHW Bush.
Everyface, we are making "something" out of this situation because it showcases the immaturity and incompetitence of the Obama Administration! They do not think that there is anything wrong about lying to the American people and they have legions of "Leftist media" types who will carry their water whenever Obama and his ilk ask!
I wish for a speedy recovery and good health. Hope she fairs well in her testifying.
MSN wouldnt let me post the first time lets see now. I can name a few accomplishments. 1 Whitewater.
2.The death of Foster in the White House by "Suicide".
3.How about the Death of the Secy of the Interior in a plane crash in 95.
4. Yeah I say Karma is a big B.....
Chris Stevens was an Arab loving liberal. I'm willing to bet that all of the fake outrage from the right would quickly shift to comments about the world being better off without him if the blame for Benghazi ended up being laid at the door of the Republicans. The right wing hates anyone who doesn't view the world with the same amount of hate that they live on a daily basis. They cannot understand that many of us just don't enjoy being angry all the time. It takes the joy out of life.
A blood clot? Considering what her blood is like, are they sure it isn't an ice cube? Oh, by the way, I'm a left-wing, liberal Democrat. I just never liked that opportunistic, do-whatever-it-takes-to-get-power-and-rich b*tch. I didn't trust her then; I don't trust her now. If she had any principles, when she found out what her husband did, she would've bashed his head in with a skillet and then divorced him. But, because she knew he was her meal ticket to greater glory, fame and wealth, she allowed herself to be his tool. Maybe we can have her and former President GHW Bush share the same hospital room. That would save us taxpayers at least a tad of our money tending to those rich people.
See relationships Petraeus, Frederick W. Kagan, Kimberly Kagan, Donald Kagan, Robert Kagan, Victoria Nuland, John McCain, Mitt Romney, Israelis.
Or answer the question: What does private funding of top Pentagon advisors by the American Enterprise Institute of have to do with the war efforts against terrorism?
Does it ever occur to any of you bleeding-heart leftists that these lying Æastards will tell you what they want you to believe in order to cover their treasonous actions rednawt1, here, let me spoon feed you my Åuts and tell you they're cherries.
Republicans are showing their true colors with this news. Disgusting.
Remember the cops and the Blue Flu, same B.S. from the clinton's, always has been, always will be, just as long as they give almost 50% of the population welfare and unemployment benefits without looking for a job, there will be this not telling the truth to the American people. I'm changing my vote to anyone who hasn't been a politician before. Think it should be 8 years max for anyone in any kind of national office then, can not even be a lobbyist for any reason. We better get back to the basics soon or this Country is doomed to be like an african nation.........gene said that.
So many people on this thread seem to think they are doctors. Un-freaking-real.
If anyone wonders about what is wrong with this country and why so many people are murdered, raped, assaulted, cheated on, treated like garbage, why people are bullied, and so many other awful things happen, you can just read the replies to the articles on the internet. You will find some wonderful caring, intelligent replies, some polite and considered disagreements, but you will find many nasty, cynical, hateful, rude, ignorant, bigoted, and truly shameful human beings hiding behind their computers typing death wishes and ill wishes for people they never met before. You will find some wishing harm on other posters, on anyone in an article who isn't as perfect as they feel they must be, and you will find horrid name-calling and some pretty scary and creepy comments.
Don't bother to say that it is this political party or that one, this religion or that one, or this race/gender, sexual orientation, or any other distinction. The positive replies and the negative replies both come from people of all of the above, so don't waste your time thinking it's all the other groups.
Whether you like her or not, whether you hate her or not, she is a person and a mother, wife, and an important person in this country. Don't ask her to dinner or vote for her if you don't want to, but keep in mind that what you put out to the universe will come back to you.
I get it. When a Democrat spouts garbage about HW, it's a few isolated jerks. When a Republican does it about Clinton, it's all of them being jerks. Way to stay consistent there. You bunch of hypocrites.
Secretary Clinton, best wishes for your health.
Proof positive of the teabaggers!
Wow, how can anyone wish such harm on another human being? There are many different factors that can cause clots, flu, inactivity, obesity, auto-immune disorders, flying, dehydration, hyperhomocystenemia, but I'm no doctor either. I can guarantee none of you would be wishing such ill on another after experiencing it - blood clots kill more than breast cancer, car accidents AND AIDS combined per year. Instead of wasting time with such harsh remarks, perhaps you should educate yourself in case you or someone in your family should be afflicted. Read PreventDVT.org and learn the signs and symptoms. The potential after effects alone can be completely crippling.
My prayers go out to her and her family.
But NBC knows, and what kind of a hospital guesses about what a patient has? The hospital of juicey gossip? My friend knew after going in for tests at the hospital.
Having had a concussion at 16 years of age (due to a home invasion, I was clobbered, woke up 4 days later, lost a lot of ability to walk and use my left arm, took 6 months to "teach" myself how to walk again, etc,) I can understand what Clinton is going through (a bit). Don't know much about how she fell.
But anyway, about a month ago, I made up a story re: Clinton's injuries. I didn't mention a blood clot occurring. I guessed her going into a coma that will last until January, 2016. Eventually announces her candidancy but her main competition is Michelle Obama.
(its just fiction)
But really Joe Biden should run for the POTUS with BHO as his vice president. Two terms of Biden keeping the transformation of the US going. Then Michelle does two terms as POTUS with her husband completing the transformation of the US.
The Docs didn't recognize the dried up, malignant hard mass for what it really is.....her soul.
Fearing that Clinton will run for President, the right is already starting their hate campaign...
I wish her well...but it does seam mighty strange all her medical conditions occur just before she is to testify about Benghazi. Testimony should take place the day after she is released from hospital.
Gee Bart, did you miss the hate campaign against the rich and the Republicans (not necessarily the same people) during 2011 and 2012 by the left?
I bet Bill is having a time of his life with her being laid up and all.
excuses excuses excuses. What next Mrs. Clinton. You have many followers who love you. But Mrs. Clinton you have much sin on you and all your money and influence won't buy the almighty. Get well soon and please go and answer to the Senate on what you know about Benghazi stop prolonging this issue.
Entitled i agree with you . i wonder why immediately..and through every single administration report, this "riot" was blamed on freedom of speech. At that time there was a bandwagon going on with people on facebook and editorials in the newspaper shaming our nation's religious intolerance and wishing the man who made the video all kinds of ill. Now we don't hear any thing about that. Yet , I wonder what would have been the consequences had this cover up not been exposed. What trends would this reinforce and what really is our mid east diplomatic focus. No wonder people distrust and want to know more. This is so very important .
As her age increases she is obviously displaying her fragile and frail condition.
Obviously her fantasy of being the first woman president just went out the door. Perhaps once she exposes the incompetence of Benghazi she can maintain a low-level cabinet position or maybe the new "Concussion Czar".
Just as much as Barrack Hussein has not responded competently to his 3 am phone calls, Hitlery will fail that test now as well.
Hopefully she recovers and can carry on her life with Bill and his misogyny.
She did herself in no chance for 2016 what so ever.
And just think, John Bolton and his pathetic followers claimed what she did was part of the diplomatic corps SOP, to fake illnesses. Like he participated in the same thing when he was a Bush follower.
Get well Madame Secretary!!!
Hillary Clinton....2016!!!!
Hillary;
2016
2020
ROTFLMAO!!!
It’s good that Barrack Hussein has at least kept his and the Liberals/Progressives priorities straight.
AND, for all that work I guess it's time to reward our hard working civil servants.

Hmmmm, so when was YOUR pay freeze lifted at your workplace? Do you have the privilege of an "executive order" to be used to just raise your pay without going through Congress, AGAIN?!?!?!?
Yes, more government is always the answer isn't it? Look how well our economy and standard of living has been doing with more and more government intrusion for the past 100 years and more dramatically over the past decade.
In the first 225 years of our government, we accrued $5 trillion in Debt. Over the past 12 years we have added $11 trillion more.
So, how much better is your life?
More importantly, how much better is your childs future?
JimSpence
And could CONGRESS reject this pay raise? Does this mean you are finally admitting that over the last 12 years, BUSH and the GOP added to our debt?
As for Hillary (what this article is really about)... We wish you a speedy recovery from Texas.

I met David Koch at a fundraiser for PBS. He didn't mention anything, but you may want to see how much money the Libbies have taken from George Soros.
Yep, just as much as unions are, aren't they?
I was thinking how old my parents are and then how old I am.
I don't live in stress.
2016?
Maybe.
Hilary will just say she "doesn't recall" what happened. Whitewater anyone??????
Now what was she doing under a desk?
Reading some of these posts reminds me of a scene in the movie Red Dawn (1984). I won't set the scene but if you are familiar with the movie, you'll get the picture.
My point is this. There are facts and there are nut jobs who instantly start creating conspiracy theories. Hillary Clinton, like her, love her, hate her, or leave her, she keeps some crazy hours and is on the move constantly. She jets across the globe on average 270 days a year. She may park her a$$ when she is enroute or has some down time but she, and her staff, burn the midnight oil. Anyone who travels internationally knows that long flights can wreak havoc on your system if you are sedantary during the flight. Deep vein thrombosis is not a conspiracy, it actually occurs in the real world.
I can only say so much without puting someones career at risk but I will say this. A friend I know has this cousin, this cousin knows some lady that is married to a janitor. This janitor is married to a school teacher who is having an affair with a doctor. This doctor apparently has a private practice with a fairly large staff. One of this doctors staff members is a friend of a friend of a lady who works at NYPH. This lady confirmed that yes, Hillary Clinton is indeed being treated at NYPH for DVT.
Get well soon Madame Secretary.
There were 12 embassy attacks during Bush 43's presidency, resulting in 53 deaths and 90 people injured. There were no hearings about any of it.
The House of Representatives denied over $300,000 requested for diplomatic protection.
The GOP set Ken Starr on the Clintons and persecuted them for years without finding anything other than innuendo and Monica Lewinsky. Please.
Benghazi is a very selective witch hunt drummed up by the GOP--and they've made quite a show of it.
Look how many here have just eaten it up like so much ice cream. Hating with abandon. Hoping for death. Damning her to hell without any evidence at all.
READ these posts. Read the hate that's dividing our nation to its doom. All of it from bitter white men! Young ones commit mass shootings, old ones are destroying the country.
I can't wait until we have a female president. Maybe we won't allow men to run again for years! From what I read here, it would be completely justified.
Entitled2, it may come as news to you, since you are obviously not exactly a medical wizard, that anti-coagulants are the first line of defense against clots; both to try to dissolve the existing clot and to be sure that additional clots do not form. Surgical intervention may be necessary if the anti-coagulants do not work. NY Presbyterian is among the top 4 brain trauma treatment hospitals in the country; it is unlikely the doctors there would risk its reputation by "faking" a diagnosis.
Wanna bet all of her medical problems magically clear up right after the Benghazi hearings close?
May she get well soon....So she can have her political future destroyed for once and for all.
No one is responsible for Benghazi, just like no one was responsible for the "fast and Furious" f- up either....
Nobody knows anything, nobody is responsible for anything. Little Fish resign in light of the truth, others become ill until their tennure is over, maybe sweating over the truth and becoming physically ill while pondering a "way out" was inevitable.
The German's in World war II would just bite down on a cyanide capsule when blood was on their hands and they knew they were going to be held accountable. Not a big fan of the 3rd Reich, just saying....accountability.
Well there is blood on someones hands here, and AGAIN, no one is being held accountable. This administration is full of bold faced liars. This woman, as sick as she is, or isnt, is not too sick to record a deposition on what she did, or did not do during these incidents. A matter of record.
And this is not a "WITCH" hunt. These people some of you are trying to defend openly lied to ALL of us- THAT is fact. Trying to say that is ok, because of what someone did in the past, and twisting something into race saying "its the white mans fault" is LAME as HE!!. stfu already and listen to yourselves. YOU are admitting someone is lying, even to you, and yet you are defending it.
Democrat, or Republican, people need to be held accountable and lying to the entire country is not acceptable, or defendable. But, I guess it will continue, as long as people like Dee Turner want to turn a blind eye, because of their political affiliation.....pretty frekn lame.
thats what will happen to anybody that Flys in a Jetliner all over the world..clots were probably in her legs at first.,..
Lots of interesting comments from the Compassionate Christian Reich Wing.
And just when I thought it was impossible for them to become any more hateful and bitter.
Mike 259... and friends:
Clearly you don't understand health/medical stuff. She did not have three unrelated things..stomach flu concussion...blood clot
she had three things in a row that all were tied togeather causally. In the exact way that medically trained people SEE these things tied togeather ALL OF THE TIME
stomach flu (diarrhea) makes you dehydrated...many people faint...if you faint you can get an concussion...and bed rest from resting after concussion can lead to DVT l...clot in legs. (so can sitting still for hours on an airplane).
It is not at all suspicious. Usually when someone comes to the hospital with a clot we ask them if they had been sitting or immobile or on bed rest prior. And when someone faints and hits head and resulting concussion we try to figure out why they fell...she fell for a VERY common (most common) reason called orthostatic hyptension that people OFTEN get if they get dehydrated. People with stomach flu are at RISK to get dehydrated.
If anything what happened to Hillary is TEXTBOOK and good for people to understand. It's a perfect example of how these things happen to people. Good warning to everyone to be sure if you have a stomach bug to take in enough fluids and to go to Dr or Hospital if you can't keep it down or in you.
What happened to her is the domino effect of related things. You put it out there 1 2 3 like she had these wierd separate excuses...really it is the same ongoing medical reason unfortunately evolving into differnt things
THERE IS NO CONSPIRACY HERE Hillary WANTED to go to Benghazi meeting and is Schedlued to testify next month. The two DEputy secretaries of state who interacted directly with the investigators gave the report instead of her. But their answers will be the same as hers.
This independant commission for Benghazi was appointed by the State Dept but I believe people from the Pentagon including former Generals (non partisan but probably REpublicans) were in charge of it.
I'm shocked to read what I'm reading ....OH my GOD are there really people like this in this country .....?
I see some picture with kids ....UNBELIEVABLE !!!!! She is a MOTHER ,a WIFE and in some people's hearts .
How can you not have some compassion ....? This could happen to your MOTHER , SISTER , WIFE or may be you are that cold blooded that you want them dead ,just like this case.I'm glad I'm not an AMERICAN .NO wonder GOD is not protecting you any more ,strong words ....but true .
HILLARY you have pass through a lot of obstacles in life ,I admire you ,standing up for your men (no matter of his actions and mistakes )you had brought the whole world together with your wisdom and courage what no other women in politics did .You are a strong women you'll overcome this .As a mother, that my children wants me to live forever (naive) .I wish you the same for your family ,especially for your daughter to be able to se your grandchildren , May God take care of you.........
You did not place the bomb in Bengazy ,just politics going wrong ....

Have you ever in your life had anything worthwhile to say? Conspiracy theories and insults comprise your entire repertoire.

UH it was the Bush administration that did not want her around. All political appointees such as her submit resignations at the end of a presidential term or they are terminated. She was treated no differently than any other. The Bush administration could have chosen to rehire her, they did not.
As far as her employment during the Clinton administration she was transferred to the Pentagon in 1994 with a $20,000 increase in salary. If that is discrimination then I hope to be discriminated against at least once a week, I can use the income.
Linda Tripp is one of those people that nobody with a brain would ever trust, she is held in esteem only by the most ardent Clinton Haters such as you. But would you trust her as a friend with any personal secrets? She did this because she hated the Clintons and more so because she wanted to get a book deal, as has been stated by her close friend and agent Lucianne Goldberg in a 1998 interview with the New York Times.
If you would then you are a bigger fool than you have already demonstrated yourself to be.
Also you twist the truth to leave out pertinent details to spread your hate. That is lying.

These things do go together, but if she does have a DVT, she should be getting more than just anti-coagulants. She should be undergoing a procedure to place an inferior vena cava (IVC) filter up through her femoral vein. Anything less would be substandard care, because the anti-coagulants could cause pieces of a DVT clot to break free and travel to her lungs in an unpredictable way causing her death. Given how serious this would be, it is surprising there is no story about daughter Chelsea rushing to visit her sick mom. Unless Chelsea is pregnant, it seems odd that she has not been visiting her mother during the holidays -- especially when her mother is sick. Chelsea has to know her parents very well, and if she is staying away, it could she doesn't want to get could up in this. To me, it is these things not in the story that make me wonder what is really going on.
This article is, in fact, a patriotism poll. The results speak for themselves.
Get well Madam Secretary.
I think all these health issues are a ruse. Obama is planning to bump her off before she writes a book exposing his ill will towards this country.
John-1639742 - I don't know where all that came from with the IVC filter in the femoral vein. There is a 10 day window from the time the DVT formed to the time a filter would be useful, assuming you are referring to a greenfield filter or the like. By the 10th day the clot starts to cord making it less likely to emoblize to the lungs. Also by that time the veins recanalize allowing blood flow to move around the main deep veins. Putting filters in are a last resort as is a catheter directed thrombolosis. If I had to "guess", I would say they wanted her on a round of heparin or they are giving her the Lovenox/Enoxaporine injections (standard 10 days, two shots daily) while they get her INR under control with the Coumadin/Warfarin. DVT's and/or PE's are commonly missed and mistaken for a flu or pneumonia, along with mere calf muscle pulls. They shouldn't be, however they are. Depending on how long it took for them to find the clot, if the clot propogated, where the clot was located, it may be too late for a filter to be of more good than harm. Permanent filters have been known to embolize, I don't even know the stats for the temporary ones as they are fairly new in the last decade. Some people recover from DVT's/PE's and never had another issue from it, others have to live their lives with many more problems stemming from them. It's no short ride for most and they would need to do a lot of blood tests to rule out any of the auto-immune disorders that are often the underlying cause. News correspondent David Bloom died from a DVT going untreated with anti-coagulants, that was such a tragedy due to the lack of information out there that his wife, Melanie, was able to have the boys on the hill dedicate the month of March as DVT awareness month.
I was brought up being told if you have nothing nice to say - say nothing at all. I can't for the life of me fathom that so many people were brought up to wish such harsh fates as death on anyone. All I can say is educate yourself on the issue prior to tossing conspiracy theories out there, it may just save your life. Again, my prayers are with her & her family.
Reading all the nasty comments about Ms. Clinton; I have to shake my head and say, "It is no wonder our country is in the shape it is in". Can't a person even get ill without it being a political debate? It doesn't matter if you like her or respect her politically, she is still a human being.
dinkydau.......member of the guard??????????? i was never a fan of the clintons but im glad hillary was ss i think we were better off with her than some one appointed by obama i think she really loves her country and did the best she could with the boss she has. get well soon its time to retire and enjoy life!
Perhaps Secretary Clinton has been pushing herself too hard. Bill should be helping her to take better care of herself. At age 65, rest, diet and exercise are vitally important. Her constant flying all over the world coupled with the stress of her job could make anyone seriously ill.
I hope she recovers fully and is able to run in 2016.
The whole right-wing conspiracy theory Benghazi B.S. is just too pathetic.
Simply amazing.
All those on the right screaming about demanding respect for Bush SR. when he was in the hospital, but those very same people have no problem wishing ill of Hillary.
Then you type this about Hillary.
Your partisan hypocrisy has been heard loud and clear. No well wishes. Just attacks.
I could go through the rest of the negative post and most likely find the same thing. If you want to know why were are so screwed up as a nation, look no further than your own mirrors.
It's all about your own agendas. The same goes for all those on the left that wished ill of Bush SR. and wished for the best for Hillary.
WHO goes to the doctor on SUNDAY???????????
So NO ONE actually SAW her fall????

His mistresses get to come out and play for a few days. That alone should provide some sense of sanity for him.
Joking aside, if she TRULY IS under the weather, hope she comes out of it okay.
NYMike
We keep lowering the bar for these low life's on the right and they keep demanding we lower it more.
They are taking the term scum bags to all new lows. I can't find anything about them that has ANY redeeming value. Noting but hatred, racism and ignorance. I guess all the trailer parks are just rocking this morning.
All the best to you Madame Secretary. Get well soon just to p!ss off the baggers on this vine.
lmao crying libbies, here are some of your posts on Bush.
"So long as we taxpayers aren't picking up the tab for this, since he's rich and can afford the best doctors, the most luxurious room, and chateaubriand for dinner, I wish him a speedy recovery. If we taxpayers are picking up the tab for another mutli-millionaire, hurry up and flat-line."
May he do well if he's paying all the bills himself. May he die if we're paying them. Good riddance and more money that should go for those who are truly worthy and not wealthy pieces of sh*t.
How interesting that you compare a wealthy conservative like President George HW Bush with islamists. At least you know where they both stand. And hopefully you can afford to pay for your medication and not expect the rest of us to cough up for it. If not and you end up up...well, no big loss. No loss at all. Good riddance to another conservative.
You guys are right. I will offer the following prayer for him.
Psalm 109:8-10
8 May his days be few;
may another take his place of leadership.
9 May his children be fatherless
and his wife a widow.
10 May his children be wandering beggars;
may they be driven from their ruined homes.
He;s a man that killed innocent people overseas, sent our troops to war to die, and then his deadbeat of a son skipped out on his military duties.
All the Bush family is a fukking disgrace. The father and son both stole from the SS funds to gain their wealth, gave themselves tax breaks, created unnecessary wars, killed thousands of innocent people, including our US soldiers, and then you want to kiss this mudder-fudders azz and wish him well.
I'm still LMAO on those that are wishing this despicable pos to get well.
He should either surrender to death, or be prosecuted for war crimes against humanity.
nuff said...
I hope George HW Poppy Bush lives and suffers many more years for his war crimes and crimes against humanity. If you need a definition of ZioNazi HW fits it exactly. A CIA insider that does not admit the USG paid him to use his Zapata Oil boats for the failed Bay of Pigs mission. He is being guarded in case he makes and death bed confessions about killing John F. Kennedy. They call the SOB Poppy Bush because he was behind using CIA planes to buy heroin and sell it to US troops in Vietnam. He shipped cocaine to the US and when Noriaga got too big he narced him out and took all the money. He was certainly involved in skimming Iran-Contra funds for himself. His dad was Hitler's banker. He advertised for Ratheon and profited from patriot missiles and scored a position with Carlyle Group. If he were to get what he deserves he would have to have cigarettes burnt on his bare skin and then salt poured in his wounds, get it up the butt by Big Bubba until he has to wear a diaper, have his fingernails pulled off and wait for them to grow back and pull them off again. Only none of this would come close to a payback for what he has done to the people of this planet and nature herself. So die you ZIONAZI SOB die George HW Bush the biggest greediest waste of sperm on the planet die then.
With all the poor people that are suffering and dying on the streets of America, freezing to death in the bitter cold winters of America, all I have to say is, I hope this pos man is suffering an ounce of the pain the American people have suffered as he robbed them and cut programs for the poor.
Everyone says those posting negative things about this GREAT ex president are not american ?? WE are the truest americans. Not afraid to question our government and not afraid to disagree with them when they are VIOLATING INTERNATIONAL AGREEMENTS and commiting crimes against humanity. That is what a TRUE AMERICAN DOES. Standing up against EVIL is AMERICAN !
So I guess Barry will be scrambling to find a you tube video to blame this on??? I thought he beefed up security for US Ambassadors!

I was responding to Laurali who brought up the DVT. How do you think they get the IVC filter in place? They start in the femoral vein and they thread the filter up until expanding it into the inferior vena cava. If Hillary has that type of clot, she would need one of the many available IVC filters. I have heard nothing about such treatment for Hillary, or why this would not be done for her.
Hillary Clinton has done more for this nation in one day of her life than all you whining, sniveling, teatards, birthers, flat earthers, religious fanatics, mindless dittoheads, evolution deniers, Fox noise cultist, conspiracy theorist, gun crazies and all around 15th century Republicans have done in your entire lives.
Hillary finds herself in the uneasy position of telling the truth - or lying under oath - as her husband Bill Clinton did in order to save herself and perhaps the Obama presidency
Bill would like having an even play if Hillary got caught lying - as he did
Michigan northerner..... spot on with your post. Somehow it was OK to post this trash a week ago on President Bush but for some reason it is deplorable that it is happening now with Secretary Clinton. And as you read those posts a week ago, they were more vicious and deplorable than anything I've read here today and with greater frequency throughout those posts. For all of you outraged today, go back and read those. Ticks you off when the same stuff get's thrown back in your face doesn't it?
Somehow when a few on the right say something negative, it is all on the right. Not true, however I seem to recall way more posters on the left wishing for the death and ill-will towards republicans including Cheney, Bush etc. As far as I am concerned as a conservative I wish Hillary Clinton the best of health. About the only people who may not want to see her recover is President Obama and his administration stooges as the Benghazi debacle and his incompetency would not be exposed. Does anyone actually believe the bs about not being able to get help to Libya in time, I'm guessing if it was his wife, family, Valerie Jarrett or close friend, he would have sent everyone to save them, regardless of the intel at the time.
Happy New Year to all
Musician - If your playing is as good as your rhetoric, don't quit your day job - what ever the heck that might be. When you become ill, I hope you get the same sort of sympathy you show for others. That goes for Mangus and of course re-reg davefromdanapoint, etc.
MANY Votes given out to the "WELL WISHERS"..........and DITTO!!!!!!!
Yep. Hard for them to understand. I'm still waiting for Dumbya to explain why he ignored/didn't read a Presidential Daily Brief titled "Bib Laden Determined to Strike Inside The US" which attributed to the deaths of 2,297 human beings inside the United States. (You know, that place where it's easier to protect our citizens and leaders.)
Why do these rwnjs think that these four were more important than the 2,297? I'm absolutely sure they were to their families, but aren't these lives all supposed to be important?
As for the id10tic posts about the Affordable Health Care Act, your bs was blown out of the water when you still thought Palyin was a significant player, though that was never really the case.
Lots of interesting comments from the Compassionate Christian Reich Wing.
And just when I thought it was impossible for them to become any more hateful and bitter.
That's not full of hate, is it? Hypocrite.
In the meantime, I would question whether or not a CIA agent was nearby during her recent "incident."
If they don't know where it is how do they know she even has one. There is a lot missing from this. Having had my mother go threw blood clots for yeas they always knew where it was just not how to get rid of it.
The morality and cruelty of the people in this country has sunk into the hole in the out house out back. In the last week I have seen both finger pointing garbage on both sides wishing death on Clinton and Bush and none of you seem to care. With all the tragedy going on (school shooting, losing 4 Americans and the fiscal cliff) and all you people (both sides) can do is make snide remarks and wish death on another human. This country will go down with people like you wishing your tripe. Have a Happy New Year??????
Get well soon and recover completely Madame Secretary. We'd like you to have all your faculties when you are testifying before congress. For all this talk about how tough Hillary is I don't seem to ever recall her doing anything that would be considered tough. I think a lot of her reputation is manufactured. Now going up in front of congress and testifying truthfully on what happened at our embassy in Benghazi would, in my opinion, show toughness.
A filter isn't always necessary, most interventional radiologists and/or vascular surgeons try to avoid having to utilize a filter. The reports as to how she wound up with a clot, what type of clot, how it was found after being seen for other issues are so vague there's a lot to factor there. If she was misdiagnosed with the flu from the get go, for instance, it could have been a DVT that embolized into the lungs causing her illness. Sadly far too many times this same misdiagnose happens. If she had been dealing with a DVT for over 10 days, the emergent fix (such as a filter) is no longer needed as the clot "cords" (hardens and becomes one with the vein) and the chances of embolism after cording is minimal at best. The deep veins are like a highway, once the area is closed off (clotted) a detour begins (these veins recanalize into valveless veins to bypass the major veins).
I was afflicted with a DVT after a surgery and the symptoms and calls to the surgeon were pretty much dismissed. I had to go through so much because the "10 day window of opportunity" to go in and blast the clot was running out fast. What started out as a clot behind the knee propogated (grew) and took over my entire leg. Even with the injections and coumadin in place it continued to grow leaving the vascular team to suggest a catheter directed thrombolysis. The leg was so clotted they couldn't go in through the femoral or the foot (the two places they prefer) with the catheter, instead they had to go in through the jugular. There is so much that can potentially happen with DVT(s) and/or PE(s) there just isn't enough information available to presume what the standard of care should be. In other cases, it can be treated simply with heparin, or a combination of the lmwh (low molecular weight heparin) injections and the coumadin/warfarin (anti-coagulant pills), however the need for monitoring in any of those cases is very important.
I'm not picking on your statement and I certainly hope you don't think I was. I just wish there was a lot more information readily available to people, especially those in the health care industry because they are preventable yet they claim far too many lives. There are just far too many variables in how to go about treating clots starting with the type and location of the clot. With the extent of damage my DVTs (now plural) caused they still choose not to utilize a filter and after the reasoning being explained, I choose to opt for no filter at this time as well. I hope that helps you understand the reason she may not be getting such treatment. A great wealth of information is available for everyone at PreventDVT.org and I personally recommend that site to everyone.
Best of health to you.
Is this just another Clinton lie and deflection attempt?! Most likely it is. Anyone with any intelligence and sense of history with these Clinton scum have to acknowledge it's a definite possibility if not an absolute certainty. She has done nothing but lie up to now. Why should we believe her. The timing is just too convenient. I will accept that she has a clot when it kills her and not a second before.
As Gomer Pyle would say: "Surprise surprise."
Called to testify about Benghazi and then came an instant stomach virus, dehydration, dizziness,"fell", concussion, now a blood clot that no one can find but they are sure there is one - - somewhere.
The RX? Appoint The esteemed war hero John "Squeeze" Kerry as Sec of State and voila - - an instant cure. It can all be swept under the White House rug.
This is Hillary Clinton! She has been through a lot,, in her career and private life. There is one thing I know for sure, she loves this country and would not do anything to jeopardize its safety. I too, take an anticoagulant. Coumadin. She may be on Heparin or Levonox to thin her blood. These medications take a delicate balancing act to regulated. Each one, needs to be monitored on a hourly, or daily basis, once it is started. Ones blood can become too thin and hemorrhage can ensue. Or she could develop another blood clot. Either way, I want Hillary to be treated, as anyone else, with her condition would be treated. She deserves the best possible care. For you mean spirited people, I can say I have wish president Bush well, even though I do not care for him or his politics and especially his son.
Get well soon Hillary and George. I want you to hold your grandchild, when the time comes and have a great retirement, if that is what you choose. I wish you well! Judy RN CHPN
Get well soon!
You are needed at the Benghazi hearings
Concussions are bad enough, but blood clots are never a good thing. And anyone who is actually so stupid, ignorant, and/or gullible that they believe a blood clot can be a democratic conspiracy has proven they are beyond hope, reality, and all reason. And anyone who brings their biased political agenda into this to insult a person who was just hospitalized because of this hasn't got the sensibility or decency of a rock. Therefore, those human trolls have also lost all their credibility. To everyone who isn't one of those human trolls, thank you for NOT being one of them.
My best wishes for Hillary. Whether or not you agree with her as a politician, no one should have this wished upon them. She is still human, and anyone who denies that isn't much of one.
Once again the anonymous, uncivil, irrationally angry, conspiracy theorists, post their mind numbing, moronic drivel for all to see. I wonder what would've been posted if the internet existed 50 years ago, during the height of the civil rights movement, or the Vietnam War.
i'm with all those who wish her a speedy flu-fall-concussion-bloodclot recovery.........................
so she can stand trial for the senseless death of four Americans on her watch...........................
WE ARE GOING TO HOLD YOU, Hillary, ULTIMATELY RESPONSIBE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
medi-care works better for people in office
What a bunch of hateful cynical loonies we have in this country. Get well soon Hillary!!!
This is really sad, so many ill conceived posts, no matter how anyone interprets it, this reflects poorly on all of us. We are no longer alone; the whole world is watching us.
I did not vote for the Democrats but this is not right. Hillary I hope you get well soon. As for you, James Mangas, you should be ashamed of yourself!
I have already read many human responses to Hillary Clinton's health and political situation...none of them were "Christian" or like Christ at all...just human...that is all we are.
I would imagine Jesus walking up to Hillary and healing her for no good reason...other than he is Love. Don't let human reactions confuse you as to how good God is...he is not us...he is totally other. I would rather be more like that but I need him to heal the selfishness inside me before I can be the way he sees us all...as someone worth saving.
Happy New Year all and may all our leaders experience the presence of Jesus and may it change them and us.
We get it Entitled...you want Hillary Dead. Tell me... do you masturbate while you think about it too??
so she DIDNT fall and hit her head now? I think they need to start writing down the lies so they can keep track of them!

A new Foreign Military Intelligence (GRU) report circulating in the Kremlin today is saying that United States Secretary of State Hillary Clinton [photo 2nd right] was injured, and a top US Navy Seal Commander killed when their C-12 Huron military passenger and transport aircraft crash landed nearly 3 weeks ago in the Iranian city of Ahvaz near the Iraqi border.
Iranian intelligence agents quoted in this GRU report confirm that the C-12 Huron aircraft is still in their possession in Ahvaz, but will only admit that the plane was “forced to land because of technical problems”.

Prayers for one of the most influential women in my lifetime.
Oh please, give us a break. Name one accomplishment while in the Senate. Name one accomplishment as Secretary of State. The darling of the far left media has done absolutely nothing, just like Obama, to warrant the accolades.
blakeNaustin, you give new meaning to the word, jerk. Your nasty comment isn't worth one breath of Mrs. Clinton, our Sec. of State. You should be ashamed.
actually blake asked a legitimate question and your answer is to call him a jerk.. look in the mirror michelle just because you can't answer question, you name call, are you still in H.S. ?
Even though I don't agree with her politics at all, I hope that Sec. of State Clinton recovers uneventfully. Just because you don't like someone's politics, it doesn't mean that they are a bad person, just someone you disagree with.
Hey, mike, you might want to re-read some of your own posts before you go pointing any fingers.
By the way, here's a legitimate question: Who is this "far left media"? And offer some REAL evidence, not just the whiney crap we hear all the time from the "make it up as we go along" right.
Hey Brian-531678 here's hope Karma kicks your ass! :)
For the record, some would say that NBC is part of the "far-left media". And the Huffington Post for sure. But I don't deny that there are network like Fox that are part of the far-right media. I'm a libertarian, and I've found that if you watch Fox, then watch NBC, the truth is usually right in the middle. But again, all of these people showing no compassion to Mrs. Clinton: Regardless of her politics, she hasn't done anything horrible in her lifetime, and she seems like a good person, so at least pay her some respect. Don't be like those idiots who were death-wishing GHW when he was in the hospital.
Left Wing, just remember the reporters, caught on camera, conspiring to try to trip up Romney during the last election! These are the "far left media" of which those, who do not support having a Socialist government, speak consistently. How about supposed "reporters" venting their distaste for anyone or anything which doesn't follow their far left agenda ON THE AIR! At least Rush Limbaugh is honest enough to call himself a "commentator" and not a reporter like these individuals.
@Dan - Agree with you for the most part, but Rush Limbaugh is a bumbling idiot.
the HATE and STUPIDITY overwhelms me, what is wrong with you people?
What is wrong with us....... let's see....... the Clinton history of people conveniently dying..... their history of shady dealings..... their abuse of power, people, and America..... other than that..... we wouldn't know why anyone would question Hillary's "convenient" accident..................
Of course, it could be that someone else is trying to hide the truth & Hillary is just a loose end?
mike and blake, why is it so hard for the right to have any respect for someone who happens to be a Dem.? Like Mrs. Clinton, and me? The woman has worked very hard, and most of us Americans respect and admire her, and wish her a speedy recovery. Blake was the one who started the insults. I replied to his assinine remark.
No, Dan, I do not remember those reporters. Perhaps you are thinking of the other candidates for the Republican nomination...? I said solid evidence, not more of this bogus crap. And socialist government? Seriously? You probably don't have a clue what that means, especially since you think it is capitalized. Rush Limbaugh? That guy spews more lies and hate than anyone else on the radio, and if you are going to use his "not a reporter" garbage as an example, how about telling us about the "far left media" commentators that represent themselves as reporters. Go for it. Any "far left media" that may be out there is quite clear about their political views, as opposed to the "far right media" that represents itself as "fair and balanced" or any number of other bogus claims.
Steve, look out! There is a bogeyman hiding in your closet! He's gonna get you!
You folks are a hoot.
If you can't see it yourself, wing nut, no one can explain it to you.
Well, you certainly can't. Because it is a lie, which is pretty hard to explain.
Michelle-1073610
It has to do with the honest fact that she has done absolutely nothing constructive in politics except ride on her less-than-savory husband's coattails, she is a political waste of space. Find me one link that shows she has accomplished anything constructive that wasn't beneficial to herself first and foremost.
Best wishes for a speedy and fully successful recovery to Hillary Clinton. I pray that she and her family are back to good health soon.
To the Faux Noise moronic management and your band of incompetent "reporters", as well as the idiot viewers that swallow the nonsense you spew - which makes them even dumber than when they turned on their television (quite an accomplishment when you consider how stupid they were to begin with): I hope that someday you put away Glenn Becks' chalkboard long enough to look at life's events objectively and accurately. But in case that day never comes, start with this simple thought: not everything you don't like or understand is a government conspiracy.
It's unbelieveable how mean and heartless some people can be. A life is at risk and we should be wishing Madame Secretary a speedy recovery. I certainly do.
It may see awfully convenient that she becomes incapacitated just prior to having to offer testimony, but that doesn't mean it can't be real. It happened to me once, where I became very ill two days before having to testify in court. I didn't want to put it off, but my attorney said he would not put me on the stand in my condition and insisted I see a doctor. Turned out that I had a very serious infection and it took two weeks to recover, though by that time the court date had to be pushed out 6 months. The other party was furious, but there was nothing anyone could do about it. Mrs. Clinton may or may not be medically incapacitated, but the timing is not proof that this is merely an excuse.
For you clowns that use NBC as an example of the "far left media," I suggest you pull your heads from your nether regions. Their big dog emeritus is Tom Brokaw, who couldn't be more right if he tried. Next, let's look at the guy that runs the most venerated news program extant: Meet the Press. David Gregory acts as though he is trying to outdo Brokaw. These are two of the top dogs at NBC News, and you have the GALL to say NBC is far left media? Yeah, keep it up - you only prove how fraudulent your charges are.
Left Wing ....Really? Your post is a joke ..right? There is not a person in this country that does not know how far left NBC is..... not even the Left argues this point. Go search how many stories they reported on Bengazie....you will have your answer..
"Find me one link that shows she has accomplished anything constructive that wasn't beneficial to herself first and foremost."
Sure Fox, but isn't doing good things usually beneficial to ourselves as well as others? Duh...links anyone?

Hope that helps, just a few here...
Healthcare for all (except for my 70lbs overweight buttocks), how has Hilary Clinton influence your life?
Please recover quickly the Senate need your testimony about Benghazi.
No. mike, your post is a joke. If you can't deal with the truth, go hide in the closet with the rest of your paranoid friends.
Benghazi is a right wing conspiracy theory, one that NBC and too much of the rest of the media reported on TOO much. Just because it wasn't every other word spoken like on Fox doesn't make NBC "left wing media." Grow up.
At least admit that the Huffington Post is "far-left". And again, I am not denying that Fox is far-right. I like to watch all of the networks, since the truth usually lies somewhere in the middle.
About NBC being "far" left
You are accusing it with MSNBC. MSNBC leans left...not sure if I'd say FAR left but definetly left
Research has shown that the Republican party has shifted far to the right in the last thirty years. The Dems have stayed about the same or have gotten slightlly less radical (ie more moderate) but the Reps have shifted to the RIGHT. FAR RIGHT...look at who they put up in the Primary and what they believed. A number of them did not believe in evolution. At least a few, if most, thought that if a woman is raped she should be forced (by the Government?) to bear an unwanted pregancy against her will. I think one or a few did not believe in abortion Even if the life of the mother was at stake...which is illogical because of course if the mother dies so does the fetus, anyway. All thought Global Warming was a hoax, except for one who got out early.
Studies show that the Republican party's lurch to the Right has dragged the PERCEIVED center to the right. Studies that rate modern Republican Senators show that the very MOST "moderate" ala Olympia Snowe rank in the middle politically for Republicans 20-30 yrs ago. YUP REPUBLICANS USED TO BE REASONABLE like Olympia Snowe and the other New England Republicans. It is a proven fact (sorry no link).
So maybe NBC seems to lean left because they are in the center but you Republicans have lurched far to the right? People on the solid right right now, many of them, are not it the place to view and rate news organizations...you are looking from a place farther to the right than you realize. EVERYTHING will look left leaning just by being unbiased.
MSNBC leans left but it is the only one. And the commentators DO NOT HAVE TALKING POINTS from the Dem party. FOX pundits and commentators on their shows ARE ALL GIVEN TALKING POINTS that support Republican party ideas of reality...ie often lies or slanted truth. MSNBC is not so closely tied to the Dems as Fox is to the Republican party. Fox really is pushing Propaganda, as it is defined.
They have brainwashed many of the people that watch it. SO everything else looks left slanted.
Republicans also consisted of numerous intellectuals. They can't brag about that today. Their idea of smart is some fool saying crap about "legitimate rape."
We keep lowering the bar and they keep falling over it.
Left Wing ....Keep drinking your kool-aid ....
News Flash...They are having Hearings on Capital Hil regardiing "Bengazie"..Yep...they are ...No really look it up....Dont try to look it up on NBC..because you will not find it ....You see...you dont have hearings on Capital hill and come to conclusions on how "inept"the Government acted during this time ....during a "cospiracy" Heads are ready rolled... Amb Rice withdraws from consideration because she got caught lying .... Sec State Clinton is afraid to testify...
Lets see....couldnt go on Sunday Talk shows due to Exhaustion ...Amb Rice told to go and do the dirty work ..
Stomache virus..fainting..Concussion...Blood Clot...I also have another one for you about the Easter Bunny also.
The President and his Administration lied and was careless with Human life.
I know ...your favorite party might be found guilty in this scandal....and you would rather put Politics above Human life and an Administration lying to the American Public.....It really makes me sick to my stomache to listen to anybody defend this Administration about Bengazie. Read what the President said yesterday ...he admits to his failures...yes as reported by MSNBC.
Laurali,
You've been watching too much of Chrissy Matthews, Larry O'Donnell, Mad Maddow, and Exploding Head Schultz.
The morality and cruelty of the people in this country has sunk into the hole in the out house out back. In the last week I have seen both finger pointing garbage on both sides wishing death on Clinton and Bush and none of you seem to care. With all the tragedy going on (school shooting, losing 4 Americans and the fiscal cliff) and all you people (both sides) can do is make snide remarks and wish death on another human. This country will go down with people like you wishing your tripe. Have a Happy New Year??????

Speedy recovery, Madame Secretary.
Speedy Recovery??? Really??? This makes me laugh how gaulible you are. Hilary is probably laughing at you as well......So funny you even write a post like that ....
Jeffmiller speedy recovery from what? Don't you know that Mrs. Clinton Lies more than Obama. I remember Whitewaters her Lawyer was found Dead in the park in Washington DC. Why? what did he knew about Mrs. Clinton activity with the banking industries. Don't trust this lady a bit.
Shes probably sitting back smoking one of Bill's cigars, laughing.
She has the blood of four people on her hands and I hope it haunts her for the rest of her life.
Yay!! Good old John Kerry - a Vietnam veteran from my generation, a hero who proceeds into politics based on his "compassion" for fellow comrades in arms. So tell me, once he got his foot in the door, had a few years under his belt, he seems to have forgotten his fellow veterans. I haven't seen much contribution from him for the veterans who are now pushing their 60s, still having nightmares, afraid of even fireworks!!! They've been forgotten by him as he pushes onward and upward. Yes, I know many of my generation who were there, are suffering physically and mentally from the after-effects all these years later. Buried a cousin 2 yrs. ago - some chemical ate away at his bones for years. A good friend who, at 64, is losing it - going blind, forgetful due to exposure to Agent Orange. So many others - my list is long.
Secretary of State??? Why doesn't he retire and spend his married millions helping his fellow veterans? Money talks and BS walks......
"John Kerry is eagerly standing by to step in and fill her girdle should something happen."
Freestuff, is this comment for real or are you just performing a trolling joke? Are you really that way or just working hard to get the duh prize for the day? Have you kept up with your current events? Just incase you do not understand what current events are, that translates to the question: Have you been watching or reading any news lately? Her term is up. She resigned as she had planned, after the first term. However, we can all see that you know what a girdle is. Sheesh, duh...
greg: Looks as if your 'shift' key has developed a mind of its own.
musician: Perhaps it is you that should be hospitalized. John Kerry's biography on this thread? Difficult to stay on subject? Had a concussion recently?
What a weak and futile attempt at more swiftboating...already proven wrong again and again. Here, have some more recent news and facts...and besides, its too late, he has already been appointed.
Fact: Swiftboat allegations were found to be dishonest. Allegations leveled against Kerry by members of the Swift Boat Veterans were replete with inconsistencies and factual discrepancies: campaign funded by GOP. Further details are explained fully in this article and at Factcheck.org.

@musician by night Post # 3.7
You've got your politicians mixed up, John Kerry was not a senator's son, Al Gore was, Al Gore also volunteered for combat but was undermined by his father's manipulations, You are also a liar of the first order, Kerry's awards are legitimate and its faceless creeps like yourself who claim to be veterans that need to be investigated.
Anonymous....You are wrong... I just read the Editorial by Media Matters...Because that is what it is ...an Editorial. They sighted a few ex-crewman that stuck up for John Kerry....That is it.
HERE IS YOUR FACT.......John Kerry mentioned it was all lies and slander for him not get elected ......Swift Boat...was never...never...never and I repeat NEVER....Taken to court for slander or proven wrong.
Why do you think that was?...John Kerry and the Heinz massive family fortune did not have enough money to clear his name?
No...the answer ...is very clear.....Swift Boat told the truth! They were never proven wrong!
Gotta agree with that. Maybe an epidemic for the masters of the universe. I hope, I hope.
Dear Madam Secretary,
We owe to you the concept of a national health insurance program, a project you poured your soul into and paid a heavy price for, because of vindictive and short-sighted zealots. When you ran for your party's nomination, you found out how many of us are truly grateful and supportive of whatever you choose to do because we know that you believe 'it takes a village,' and the village tips its hat to you. When you lost the nomination, you could have stomped off in a huff, but instead you showed up and turned your supporters into the party's supporters by calling them out on their basic principles, challenging them to be as unselfish and dedicated to the cause as you are. Your service as Secretary of State has been sterling and once more elevated the reputation for leadership the US has traditionally enjoyed in the world. Now, take it easy. Do what your docs tell you. We want you to live long and prosper.
I hope I am not the only one who sees this obvious distraction of attention from the disingenous medical issue providing for convenient official absence from direct media contact and questions about the real nature of the sacrifice of the US Ambassador in Libya. Kadaffi's MOUNTAIN of GOLD should not be so easy to miss. It was a MOUNTAIN and the worth would easily offset the threat of a fiscal "cliff" in the US federal budget. If the US was successful in acquiring the MOUNTAIN OF GOLD its also clear why the negotiations behind closed doors in Washington is so problematic among the grasping perspective of thieves and thugs. Kadaffi hoarded GOLD for the span of his time as dictator of Libya. His son was given responsibility for guarding the gold in the event of Kadaffi's death and then the son died... WHY is the media so silent about these very news-worthy issues? The US media is a propaganda machine shackled for use by the US government. Its also very ODD a boy so emotionally removed should suddenly find ballsadequate to acts of aggression at a grade school. It wasn't his DNA, folks... it was his hypnotist that did it.
Hillary Clinton recently has had a concussion, fatigue, a stomach virus, a blood clot and dizziness.
She looks exhausted.
It's pretty clear the grind of politics has gotten to her.
Time to maybe retire? Buy a lake house? Kick up on an Adirondack chair and catch up on some best-sellers?
"musician"(?); sounds like you know too much about John Kerry, sounds like you must have been sitting over there real close with his lazy looser group.
Arthur (who is 66); doesn't politics get to all of them? We've all surely noticed it. Barack Obama is also looking like he is suffering the Jimmy Carter syndrome. Jimmy only came out looking 10 years older (according to his physicians); how much older is Barack going to come out of the office looking?
The morality and cruelty of the people in this country has sunk into the hole in the out house out back. In the last week I have seen both finger pointing garbage on both sides wishing death on Clinton and Bush and none of you seem to care. With all the tragedy going on (school shooting, losing 4 Americans and the fiscal cliff) and all you people (both sides) can do is make snide remarks and wish death on another human. This country will go down with people like you wishing your tripe. Have a Happy New Year??????
Her staff did say she was ill... Do you think the GOP will believe her now?
Senator Graham has attack this women relentlessly... He owes her an apology...
Knowing my medical observations, it sounds like Hillary might have had a Stroke--all the symptoms make sense--
May she recover rapidly, hopefully she is doing well. She is the best Secretary of State in recent times, giving it her "all".
Hopefully the Government, or her family will disclose this very, very serious condition.
Yes ... I find her lies and Manipulation to be a very,very serious condition ...and it should be looked into.
This just goes to show how insensitive so many people across the nation are. She has done a fantastic job and worked hard all these years and we have idiots putting her down and saying this is a ploe. I am ashamed to think we live in a Great Country but we have such horrible citizens making such snide remarks. Hillary has put herself out there for all of us and for her Country. Get a life and realize just how horrible your remarks are when slamming her when she is sick. My gosh when is the crap going to stop??? The election is over and yet I continue to get these nasty, hateful e-mails about our President. Give it a rest and think for just one minute if she were your Mother, Sister, Aunt, or Daughter. If the ones throwing out this stuff would just back off maybe, just maybe, this Country could start to heal.
In the end , even the mighty are mere mortals......I do not like what this "woman" stands for or what she has done. That said I wish her no ill will. Time to go quietly into the night Ms Clinton......
Maxine .....What part of " I take full responsibility" ....for this scandel did you miss? Yes ..she said that....... No....you are not doing a fantastic job ....if 4 Americans died and you lied to the American public...and you take full responsibility for the people that died and the lying message to the American People. Yes ..that is what is coming out of the Hearings on Capital Hill! You see when you admit this...you should be prosecuted and lose your job....not patted on the back!
Please tell me how that is "Fantastic"?!?!... Here .. I will say it again....She said she takes full responsibility on Bengazie....
Is this just another Clinton lie and deflection attempt?! Most likely it is. Anyone with any intelligence and sense of history with these Clinton scum have to acknowledge it's a definite possibility if not an absolute certainty. She has done nothing but lie up to now. Why should we believe her. The timing is just too convenient. I will accept that she has a clot when it kills her and not a second before.

Hang in there, Hill!
The world has left you old sour people behind, Old White Man.
What? She said that American demand for drugs fuels the drug trade? Is that what you are talking about OO-Bama? Are you denying that the majority of the revenue for the Mexican cartels comes from the pockets of American citizens? Because if you you are, I would really love to hear your explanation of how the cartels make their money. I would also be intereseted in how that constitutes blaming all Americans for Mexican violence. This should be good...

Concussions are bad enough, but blood clots are never a good thing. And anyone who is actually so stupid, ignorant, and/or gullible that they believe a blood clot can be a democratic conspiracy has proven they are beyond hope, reality, and all reason. And anyone who brings their biased political agenda into this to insult a person who was just hospitalized because of this hasn't got the sensibility or decency of a rock. Therefore, those human trolls have also lost all their credibility. To everyone who isn't one of those human trolls, thank you for NOT being one of them.
My best wishes for Hillary. Whether or not you agree with her as a politician, no one should have this wished upon them. She is still human, and anyone who denies that isn't much of one.
My question is whether this is a result of DVT given all the travel and not vice versa...
Humanity seems to be in short supply these days, especially here. Her politics should have nothing to do with this; she fell and wound up with a blood clot, something that is not unusual after a head injury. So it's been 4 weeks; a slow bleed can take months to show symptoms. I wish her well because I am a HUMAN who has no need to hate her, unlike so many posters here today. But just remember folks, karma is a bitch and someday your hatred will come back to haunt you in ways you might not expect.
Ms. Jacobson you are so right about the karma.
If she had a blood clot directly formed from the concussion/fall, they would not be treating it with blood thinners, which could cause more bleeding. If it is a DVT or a clot caused stroke, then blood thinners are appropriate. They certainly haven't given much information out, and neither she or her family has made any statements, which really concerns me regarding the seriousness of this......it might be more than they are letting on.

Prayers for Hillary and Her Medical team....
To bad American Veterans aren't availed of the same health care she is, but Tri-Care is not in the plan for good Politicians. Many of the Vets could use congressional heath care after all they have sacrificed. What has she given besides her soul? She wouldn't even let go of Monica's Cigar Buddy (he was still useful to her back then).
She learned from the best...her beard, W.J. Clinton...sounds like a SDH s/p fall which is not pretty. Sugah, if u wanna live, get your azz to UVA STAT and pray that Dr. Kassell is on call with a Burr drill nearby. Trust me, I'm apolitical...
YouTube "The Alleged Crimes of Bill Clinton." I think some people just like being stupid. It is much more comfortable than knowing the truth.
Had any low or middle class worker/welfare recipient/disability recipient presented with a blood clot they would have been sent home with a prescription for Coumadin, or 85mg aspirin, or other anti=coag med.
The Secretary of State is admitted, and under watchful eye of probably half the entire Cardiovascular surgical service at the hospital...and the Dems say they are for the working American.....
Get well, Mrs. Clinton, then get your ass into the seat to testify on Benghazi. Don't even say you have a memory loss cut to that smack on the noggin you took.
Well, it didn't take long for the non believers to come out. the first post, and a conceited one at that, votes for his own post because he can't get any other votes. A blood clot on a persons brain can be fatal. My mother died 3 years ago of the same thing. Get well soon Hillary.
It didn't take long for the Kool-Aid drinkers to come out in support of their Queen. A little skepticism every now and then might be a good thing for you to consider. I hope Hillary recovers fully so she can testify about why she lied, bold faced, into the faces of the family members of the Benghazi murder victims. No, a video did not cause the attack. Libs must be completely blind to truth.
She will tell the truth right after Bushy and sureshot tell the truth why they invaded a country that had nothing to do with 911 and got 4500 of our finest troops killed.
Reading all the nasty comments about Ms. Clinton; I have to shake my head and say, "It is no wonder our country is in the shape it is in". Can't a person even get ill without it being a political debate? It doesn't matter if you like her or respect her politically, she is still a human being.
After she is passed this, she can answer for the deaths of our people, (as if there will be any real repercussions for this). While they may use alot of strong language about each other the political types stick together.... none of them wants to be held accountable for their actions, either.
Article says it's in her lower limbs not brain.
That is how these clots start in the lower limbs. I had one 2 nights after a thyroid removal surgery last year and it traveled into my lungs waling me up in the middle of the night in horrible pain when I tried ot breathe. I didn't know what the heck was happening to me and laid awake all night like that because my husband works third shift and could not take anymore time off work because of "my health problems and previous surgeries where he had taken intermittent FMLA". Because I have 2 kids at home and nobody else was with me, I waited until he got home the next morning before I got any medical attention. The clot once it starts moving is called and embolism and moves thorugh your bloodstream and I ended up in the E/R abnd from the E/R I was admitted to the hsp with clots in my lungs.
A 1 night surgery turned into a 3 1/2 day hsp stay as this thing could have killed me last January had it not been treated as the doctor said had it gone to my heart or brain, stroke or death. For the heartless and truly insipid raptors on here that are making such evil comments, you have NO SHAME or one shred of decency among you. Americans? Patriots you call yourselves? Defenders of freedom, liberty and the Constitution? Stinking Tory traitors and sympathizers to the King is what you'd be called back in the colonial days leading up to the Revolution because the original colonists depised your kind because that is exactly WHAT YOU ALL ARE. TRAITORS who hate our Constitution and want The Articles of Confederation instead and worship the Stars and Bars. Fascists.
If the laws of secession were as easy as pack you bags and LEAVE if you hate it here so much, then please just DO IT ALREADY but they're not unfortunately. We are stuck with you.
well it seems to me that just because she is the sec. of state she gets all this attention, how about all the other thousands of ordinary joes out there living w/ blood clots ??? where is there attention???? it is a blood clot, yes they are very dangerous, I have one in my leg, but it is not all over the papers, news, and internet. Let her keep her medical condition to herself. i for one do not want to hear about it.
mother from va It is now lol
Blood clots often travel which is why they're deadly. I hope Hilary recovers quickly since we need her to continue the vital work she has been doing for our country, a job that very few people could do even half as well, and we need badazzes like her in our State Department. What I am outraged by is that politics is messy and often deadly and only a sad, stupid simpleton runs around pretending that public counterintelligence actions (like the intentional and NECESSARY counterintelligence about Benghazi) are lies and need hearings while constant, consistent 6 years of LYING to everyone including Congress, the Senate and the then Defense Secretary about a reason for war in Iraq was somehow just a mistake. How certain Congressmen have made it public about our Operation in Lybia in worldwide media for purely political reasons is somehow NOT treason, how outing a CIA operative on CNN for political revenge is somehow not treason and how these congressmen don't recieve the same treatment Jefferson meted out on the White House lawn so many years ago. Get well soon, Sec'y Clinton, and F all the POS trashers on this discussion board, you'll reap what you sow and I hope you think of this when you do.
mother from VA: I don't think you have the same type of clot as Hilary does......DVTs are very dangerous, and can totally plug up your pulmonary arteries, causing immediate death....I've coded people in that situation, and they don't survive something like that. And if you don't have insurance to take care of your health issues - maybe you need a little Obamacare to help you out.
Yes recover quickly so you can testify about Benghazi. Since 4 of your underlings were quilty and fired it would seem that you knew what they were doing.
But it turns out they weren't fired! They're still on the government payroll.
Not good. I have been worried about her sense this happened. Lets all hope this has a happy ending because she is so important to us and our Nation. Love this lady.
Do you have a life or an actual job, musician by night?

She was 22 and knew exactly what she was doing.
Detour sign. Isn't it funny how some grumpy old haters are clowns. They like to sling their filthy dissonant mudballs into the golden rays of beautiful sunlight thinking they will hit some target, only to make a spectacle for others to laugh at as their blah sh# splats back down to the ground only to sink again into their mother earth. Then in their ignorance and dearth of compassion, they are shocked to find that they are levelled along with all the rest of life processing through time when its their turn to face Charon the dark angel and become, once again, so much manure.
mbn's words are nothing other than an embarrassment to the profession he names, a blight on any possible inspiration or healing or any kind of goodwill associated with the topic, now cursed by his own Muse for being uttered and echoed onto the Akashic record on a public forum, defective and completely trolling out of tune as his own karmic boomerang. Do not step in it. Walk around this ugliness, and Ignore.
@ Musician by Night. Are you honestly that stupid?
Everyone here is hoping for a happy ending to this story. I just think there is some disagreement on what would be the form of that happy ending.

Unless sucking dyck behind the local Piggly Wiggly for beer money counts as a job then I would have to say,no,musician by night does not have a job.

Hillary, you are in our hearts and prayers. Praying for a rapid and complete recovery and a very Happy New Year!
Something is really going on she hasn't been seen in public in over 3 weeks..
1) cancelled trip to mideast : stomach flu
2) to testify in Benghazi hearing ; concussion
3) again schedule to testify this week Benghazi : blood clot
WTF and if this is true how will she handle a president campaign 2016 race without having a stroke.. these medical problems has just disqualified her for president and if this is a ploy to not have to testify on Benghazi same affect is now present..
speedy recovery secretary clinton. retire and live a long life out of politics you need it !
Gee, mike, it's a pity that all you can do is post the same lame tripe multiple times. But at least you were able to prove that you have absolutely no business judging others. Good job.
Mike, on the surface you sound nuts but so is the timing of all of this. If indeed you are correct, we are in deeper crap than we ever will know. Let's give the benefit of the doubt and perhaps the 3rd time will be a charm for the Benghazi hearing. If something happens where she is never able to testify, I will agree with you 100% Mike.
Left Wing: Are you not judging by saying someone is judging? Seems hypocritical.
Happy New Year.
Yeah, unbelievable timing. Usually the clot comes before the injury, right folks? Duh.
Let's see, she gets sick but tries to keep working, which overtaxes her, causing her to pass out and hit her head, sustaining a concussion. Then, the concussion leads to a blot clot. Yeah, pretty sinister. How do you folks sleep at night with that thought of all the monsters hiding under your beds and in your closets, waiting to get you. Nah, just 'cause you're paranoid doesn't mean everybody is NOT out to get you.
Left Wing: Working doesn't over tax, the government does. No one is paranoid, just wanting some answers after several months. None of this seems odd to you?
You are a pathetic idiot. Jiohn Boltonm and some of republican know nothings should issue an immediate aopolgy. We hope and pray she recovers quickly.
Lowest taxes in decades, Einstein. If you don't want to sound paranoid, don't continually make paranoid statements. No, it does not seem odd - what seems odd is the right's constant need to find everything wrong with what anybody else does. What seems odd is a Republican side of the Senate that filibusters damn near everything, EVEN THEIR OWN BILLS. What seems odd are people that scream to the hills how patriotic they are while acting as traitors to their own country. But at least the general public, nowithstanding right wing lunatics, are getting fed up with it. Want some answers? Ask your Republican representatives why THEY voted against spending bills that would have helped beef up security.
Posting your non-sense twice doesn't make it anymore sensible mike-2598123
If that's the case that people should be disqualified based on their health, then Dick Cheney should never have been VP based on the many heart episodes he had. Ronald Reagan was shot....disqualified. Gerald Ford fell alot (poor coordination)....disqualified. Stop being so negative, and show some compassion to a fellow human being who is in the hospital with a serious condition.
Hillary, you are a strong woman who overcame many obstacles! I am praying for your healing and recovery! Have a happy, healthy, and blessed New Year! You are an inspiration!
She should get the same support the Ambassador rcv'd in Bengazi. Karma
Apparently some of you know nothing about concussions if you think she is faking this. I work with a lot of teenaged athletes who have had concussions. The newest protocol is for TOTAL brain rest -- no TV, no IPOD, no computer, etc. until head aches are gone then they can slowly return to reading, if that goes okay they progress from there. I've seen kids have head aches for a month after their concussion. So I don't find it odd at all that Hilary hasn't made an appearance for 3 weeks. If they aren't improving then the next step is usually an MRI which is probably what they did for her and then found the blood clot. Do a search for concussion treatment or protocol and you can read all this for yourself.
A person who travels extensively and is exposed to thousands of people will certainly catch some virus bugs from time to time. Dehydration is certainly not uncommon for people who have suffered the stomach virus and dehydration can certainly lead to one passing out. That does not mean Secretary Clinton can't return to full health nor does it mean she can't have another political career. She is far from the only person to come back from medical issues.
Media BiASS, ask the questions. All I hear from you right wing nut jobs is we need answers to the questions, but you never ask a question. I have a question for George Bush, Dick Cheney and Lil Don Rumsfield. Why did you go after a man who had nothing to do with 9/11 who happened to detest Al Quieda (SP?) but who was given chemical weapons to? We all remember the famous handshake that Lil Donny Rumsfeld had with Saddam when those weapons (which deteriorate over time) were delivered. How many thousands of our own solders were "murdered"?
When Hillary gets well and testifies, Can we force Bush jr to testify why we was in Iraq, And killed scores of innocent people with without a lawfull declaration of war? If we can drag Hillary up for 4 Americans can we drag Bush jr up as well. Then let Ron Paul come back just to ask him a few questions. Ohh thats right he has immunity against any crime he has ever commited in office
Oh yes, Gunner and rednawt1, here is the link to that wonderful Rumsfeld handshake with Saddam back in Reagan's day on video for all to see - and all the other stuff too. Enjoy the already well known historical information in this excellent documentary.
Saddam Hussein - The Trial You Will Never See
Yes, musician by night, Democrats voted to invade Iraq based upon facts (lies) presented by the Bush administration. The truth hurts...
I don't care for Hillary politically but I do wish her all the best with her recovery!
Wow, she will do anything to avoid testifying on Benghazi.
If Hillary really had a concussion and now a blot clot, I wish her a speedy recovery. But please excuse me if I am little skeptical. She, her husband, and her boss (Obama) are all compuslive liars. They will say (and fake) anything to advance their agenda.
Nice.
Speaking of agendae, how's that lame one of the lying right? You know, the one with all the liars that point at everybody else and calls them liars?
So, what's it going to satisify you and your kind?
Her death?
your confusing them with republican politicians, advance their agenda, what lie, deny or spin tactic will you use to explain that.
Blake STFU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
blakenausea: go away.
Left Wing: Now you wouldn't be judging and name calling are you? Those are against left values ... remember?
Blake-that's a truly assinine comment. This has nothing to do with your opinion, it's a medical report. Next thing you'll want her to present a birth certificate?
blake: you fake a cold to skip junior high. Nobody fakes a blood clot you douchebag
Media Bias (yes, there is, and it is biased to the the RIGHT, paranoids). I didn't make the first post about supposed "compulsive liars," but thanks for proving my point.
You must be the funniest kid in your high school, musician by night.
musician, thanks for showing everybody that you are twelve years old. I guess we can all just discount anything else you post with no hesitancy.
Funny!!! We have the same opinion of George Walker Bush/Dick Cheney.
Blake: Well said. I don't wish any harm or ill intent towards Hillary but it is hard to believe anything this administration says. You can't blame people for being skeptical. They have brought the lack of trust upon themselves.
It could be that Hillary's "accident" was an effort to "silence" her testimony.......
Mark: How? By lying their way into the nomination? By filibustering even their own bills? OOPS! Wrong party!
Well Blake, seems certain people, yet again, don't like the facts.
The blood clot thing could be a lie. I'm going to maintain my ficticious storyline that says she goes into a coma, comes out of it in January, 2016. Everyone sees this as a miracle and unites behind her for the POTUS over Michelle Obama and Joe Biden. Now here's the really screwed up part. Clinton enacts executive orders to abolish the Congress and the Supreme Court, all this leading to a national belief that Clinton is the AntiChrist. Sometime later on Jesus Christ comes back to earth taking over the form of Mike Huckaby and defeats the AntiChrist.
Whadaya think, Vonegut fans?
If, God forbid, she were to pass away, I can hear the reich wing now....
"....the only reason she died was so she wouldn't have to testify!"
blake: Do you see the irony of your last sentence?
It was inevitable. Our musicians train of thought has slipped into his pants, along with his hands.
Praying for a speedy recovery!
why would anyone want to wish her a speedy recovery? What has she ever done for you? Can you name just one thing...
Are you an idiot or just one of the most shallow persons who has ever drawn breath? If you can make a stupid statement like this it can only be interpreted as wishing her ill. Does someone have to have done something for you in order for you to wish them well? You would rather she die? Dear God, spare the civilized world from haters like this "person". No wonder we are in the sorry state we are in.
Well, she's got you beat todziu!
Get well soon, Hilly!! You know we love ya'!!!
She is one tough lady. Hang in there sister and hope for a speedy recovery.
she is one of the few good one's. hopefully she recovers quickly.
Get well soon! This country (and your family) needs you!
Bummer. Get well quickly, Hillary.
She had a blood clot and is hospitalized. Can't you negative posters show a little decency irrespective of politics?
Apparently "decency" is not a family value.
Kind of like all the well-wishes for VP Cheney?
Kind of like when VP Cheney refused to testify, right???
David LG,The negativity comes from self loathing people.
We will give her the same repect the likes of you give any Republican when they are ill. Oh I forgot you do not give any respect , must be a wash then. She is just trying to keep from testifying so she can cover her and Obama's Arse. How pathetic our leaders have become.
i'm
with all those who wish her a speedy flu-fall-concussion-bloodclot
recovery.........................
so
she can stand trial for the senseless death of four Americans on her
watch...........................
WE ARE GOING TO HOLD
YOU, Hillary,
ULTIMATELY RESPONSIBE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Steve: Does Rachel Maddow wishing Cheney a speedy recovery on national television three times in one week count, or are you just trying to justify your disgusting, bloodthirsty wingnut friends for their dispicable inhumanity? How about when Ed Schultz did it? Or do you just pretend things to justify the "truth" you've decided has happened. I guess those guys are only quoted when they're being targeted by you people.
To RW_Hunter: You assume that I don't wish republicans well when they're ill. You talk from what you know not. GBaby1 - Good point!
yeah right. can you say smoke screen? i knew you could.
So, is your ignorance going to be so transparent if she dies?
Good post. Leave it to the self-righteous right.
JKLD if she dies, they will still say she is in hiding with Elvis or some BS. Or better yet Oboma had her silenced forever. Im surprised people dont say, he had his grandmother silenced right before his first election win so she couldnt say he wasnt from Hawaii. Haters will always hate.
Jonh Bolton should immediatey issue a apology for doubting her condition as should many others in the Republican cicles.
Lar you would think but you forget these PUKES aren't even human they have no understanding of the truth it doesn't exist for them. Have you heard they live in a BUBBLE!!!
Never did understand how John Bolton got appointed to a position that requires a certain amount of diplomacy!
Oh, give it a rest. I won't believe it until her doctor gives an official report via a press conference . . . and not a just a "spokesperson."
l would like to hear about her medical condition directly
from her doctor . . . not a spokesperson. Seems a bit odd we haven't heard from
him/her through a press conference.
Hey Nan: I know Faux news doesn't tell you this, but have you ever heard of HIPA? Or is that only for the Tea Bigots. Her doctor can not tell you anything, nor can any other medical personnel in the hospital. They would do the same for you too!
"Benghazi clot." other issues associated with her " Benghazi concussion." Clinton is being treated with anti-Benghazi-coagulants."
Ignorance is as ignorance does and you show it it spades.
poor lisa
Not that we need more verification that Fox News is full of crap but it's always fun when they are publicly humiliated. Oh wait, you can't humiliate those with no morals or conscience.
Just remember that when you point that finger four more are pointing right back at you. And by the way most of the supporters of old hilary and the pres talk I would say that they are the ones with no morals, as the brunt of you have tossed God out of your life and believe in the All For ME theory and that is pitiful.
Get well soon Hillary.
Comment # 26 deleted, derail.
Hope you folks who believe she was faking, I sure do hope you are real proud of yourself. Especially faux and friends. If faux news had any brains they would take then out and play with then. Gretchen is a total idiot and needs to go. Hillary I hope you get well soon. Will be saying a prayer for you tonight, you are the best Secretary of State that the US has had. Get well soon.
do you have a blood clot too? you arent making a lot of sense.
She is making sense...your posts, on the other hand...
If any of the disbelievers were paying attention during George II's presidency they would know that there were 12 attacks on U.S. Embassies overseas which is the MOST that has happened under ANY president, and....wait for it, that means based on your twisted way of thinking that ALL of you and the Republicans were cooperating in a conspiracy against our Ambassadors. Right? How easily people forget the recent past when it's their team who's having fingers pointed at it. Instead of all of us getting along, and praying for her recovery like all who love GOD (and those who simply want her to recover) you are wishing her ill-will. Hope you're not Christians because casting stones and making up lies is not what Jesus taught us.
She needs to answer some questions. don't care what her condition is. Use Obamacare.
It's been a few weeks short of four years since Bush left office, time for Obama to own things. Besides what does Bush have to do with Hillary's illness if she is truly ill?
Linnie from Maine -- you are simply incorrect in your assertions.
There have been 30 attacks on US embassies under Obama. There have also been deaths. There were fewer attacks under Bush, and zero deaths.
Oh yes, she is so vindicated, right? When she is to FINALLY have to answer for the Benghazi cover up, suddenly she has a blood clot a month after a bump on her head. Interesting. Glad to know she won't be released as SoS until she does finally testify on this blatant cover up over the murder of 4 Americans and the gun running to terrorist organizations.
Anyone remember the Whitewater scandal?
Hey, Mark, I know this is tough for those on the right to understand, but just because Bush has been out of office for about four years does not mean his mistakes magically disappear.
And why is it that I see posts about how awful Bill Clinton was (or made up stuff about Foster, et al) show up when that was WAY past four years ago? Why is it that Bush gets a pass for his false pretenses war and for, as noted above, the deaths of diplomats during his presidency, yet ANYTHING that gives the right an opening to attack Obama or his administration is fair game? Why is that? Even in the midst of Bush giving the nation the finger, anybody that said anything about Bush was a traitor, but it is perfectly fine to call Obama a socialist, nazi, communist, liar, Manchurian candidate, etc. Why is that? When all those soldiers were killed while Saint Reagan was president, were you out there demanding answers about how Reagan failed us all and was personally responsible for all those deaths?
Yeah, I know, that's all different. Because Republicans are all perfect and Democrats are all evil. Yeah, sure.
Absolutely nothing MarkM...but you do not hear people hating on Bush Sr in his condition in hospital now, do you? No excuses for those supposedly right wing Christians who cast stones at Presbyterian Hospitals either.
Don't forget Vince Foster !!! Another clinton mystery
Linnie, what U.S. Ambassador was killed over seas by a terrorist attack while Bush was president?
Jim In Nashville:
Here is an excerpt from the Ninth Public Hearing of the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks upon the United States, held Thursday April 8, 2004, where Bush adviser Condoleezza Rice, is being questioned:
MS. RICE: I remember very well that the president was aware that there were issues inside the United States. He talked to people about this. But I don't remember the al Qaeda cells as being something that we were told we needed to do something about.
“MR. BEN-VENISTE: Isn't it a fact, Dr. Rice, that the Aug. 6 PDB warned against possible attacks in this country? And I ask you whether you recall the title of that PDB.
MS. RICE: I believe the title was "Bin Laden Determined to Attack Inside the United States." Now, the PDB --
MR. BEN-VENISTE: Thank you
Jim In Nashville: 2002 Karachi, Pakistan Deaths: 10 2004 Uzbekistan Deaths: 2 Injured: 9
2004: Saudi Arabia Deaths: 8 2006 Syria Deaths: 1 2007 Athens Grenade Thrown No deaths 2008 Serbia Set on Fire No casualties 2008 Yemen Deaths: 10 Oh, and Let's not forget the one with the most casualties. 9/11/2001 Deaths: Over 3,000 American Citizens I realize that all of these murders were not committed in a United States Embassy, but they all were committed under George II's watch in United States buildings. I'll find more if you wish, but from what I see when I look up this information is that more terrorist attacks succeeded under George II than under our current POTUS.
"gun running to terrorist organizations. Anyone remember the Whitewater scandal?"
Anyone remember Ollie North?
Prayer? Really? From those who rail against the display of the ten commandments, much less it's practice. From those who rewrite the National anthem to exclude "one nation under God"? Just to name a few of the offenses. All the times you Sh1t on God and today you pray? Good luck with that.
Anyone remember Whitewater? Anyone remember Blackwater?
Iraq for Sale: The War Profiteers
Jimbo, get outside of your bubble. You and all living beings are along for the ride of life however you wish to define it on Planet Earth in this universe. You are not getting out of it alive either. The point of separation of church and state is to protect the freedom and privacy of ALL citizens to worship in their private domain in any way they wish free of persecution of others. Its like when Elvis sang..."Well, you can do anything, but lay off a my blue suede shoes". So, how do you want to define crapping on God, what is God, where is God? Is it possible to crap on God or is God too big, just who is God, where is God, well, you are living it, it IS beside you and before you, after you, and it IS the universe. Get with it. Just be. That is your gift of life and your freedom in this place we call the United States of America in the last moment of the last day before the last day of 2012, got it? There are natural laws beyond your definitions or did you forget you are not the maker of the universe. Duh...
Jimbo you are the classic example of ignorant southern white person. The phrase you speak of is not in the National Anthem.
If you had any understanding of God you would know he is all about forgiveness.
Our side is all about freedom of religion.......yours is about shoving in down throats.
Hey, Jimbo, which verse has "one nation under God" in it? For that matter, do you know when that phrase was added to the Pledge of Allegience? Do you know when "In God We Trust" was added to our currency? Do you think the founding fathers had anything to do with ANY of that?
Get yourself a history book and learn something prior to posting crap that proves your ignorance.
Anybody out there know what the term "low information voter" means...?
"Anybody out there know what the term "low information voter" means...?"
So true LW, I was just thinking about what an enormous problem this is today. Leadership is not a popularity or celebrity contest and stupidity does damage. Its not only the voters who are not informed, but those who are voted in who do not know anything past tenth grade level and have gotten in with money or a pat on the back to pretend and push papers! I hate the saying, "Its not what you know its who you know". This has gotten us into a lot of trouble. It couldn't be more wrong. There is another saying, "Beware the man in motley, he may be the savior in disguise". Our inventors, explorers, healers and geniuses have often come to us from unknown, underprivileged or obscure quarters.
We are going through an enormous time of change, where skilled qualified professionals who have spent years working and training for their career posts are needed, people who are up to date with the skills that work, and we don't even vet candidates properly. Look at the recent Palin, Bachman gibberish or the histrionics of Schmidt. We've got weird fantasy folks put into positions of making big decisions and their beliefs are not based on facts so they are making decisions this way that will detrimentally impact thousands of blindly led constituents! There are real consequences for voters who vote against their best interests!
As the philosopher Bradford once stated, "Every man ...(and woman, sic.mine) must stand their post". I would add to that... in our society, and those who stand their posts must know honestly how to work that post or the society falls. How can ethnocentric uneducated bubble-heads be diplomats? How can those who never went to college or law school, don't know history or ethics, be law makers? It just does not work and will not, especially with continued embarrassments occurring in management, policy, and obstruction to progress in the approaching year, 2013! If the American People are not going to survive on Main Street, enough is enough!
It has only been because of the educated leaders we have had who actually know how, why, and what they are doing in their posts, that we are still surviving. Hillary Clinton has given her best, and she has a long list of accomplishments, publications, interviews, speeches and successful changes due to her hard work, determination, and positive insights. Because of her service on behalf of The People, she deserves the best and our respect in return whatever her destiny, future choice of career or lifestyle may be. It is also an indisputable fact that she has a worldwide village of friends who admire and appreciate her far and wide, silently putting forth good wishes for her recovery tonight.
@Anonymous Insight: Pure sycophantic hogwash. From the very beginning, Hillary has cheated and lied her way to power right along with partner Bill and the Johnny-come-lately Obama. Remember all that money she made in "cattle futures" merely by reading the Wall St. Journal? And Whitewater and the law firm records and Vince Foster and on-and-on. As a disciple of Alinsky, those lies don't matter in her way of thinking, and neither does this cover story. What they are doing now is trying to wash the blood of Benghazi off her hands and it doesn't come off easy.
"There were fewer attacks under Bush, and zero deaths."
ROFLMAO!
only a complete, ignorant idiot thinks the National anthem ever had the words "one nation under god" in it.
and my mother and father never had to recite THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE with the term "under god" in it, the term "under god" was ADDED to the pledge in the 1950s.
no standingo, what is really happening is the RWNJs are looking for more ways to waste taxpayer money on politically motivated witch hunts, something the RWNJs thrive on
Not only do Bill and Hilary laugh at the Hearings and the Right....They laugh at the Idiot well wishers...Sit there and wonder where these people come from. They wonder how many more gaulible people there truly are.
markwills,
The left is just as ruthless in their attacks and witch hunts. Do you honestly believe you're innocent of the continuous insolence? There are just as many Democrats that would cheat, lie, and sell their mother and children for power, fame and fortune. Neither party has the right to throw the first stone because the have no fault. If you honestly want to see this country heal, both parties need to learn to forgive and be good examples for our children and grandchildren. Rather, elect candidates that demonstrate abilities to manage and lead with "compassion for all". We haven't taught that in our schools or homes for several generations. We rarely even try. We have taught our children condescension, distrust and how to kill. Our colleges teach reward for confronting the opposition at their weak points rather than teaching students to help the opposition to repair and strengthen their weak points. A healthy bottom line at all cost seems to be the only mantra. That's why we falter and fail today. When we teach and reward our children (both at home and in the classroom) for creating and maintaining healthy relationships we will then be able to teach our children how to grow a healthy nation and share it with others. I think we have lost our way, don't you?
StandingO: Neither does the blood of 3000 Americans from the Attacks on September 11, 2001, 4500 soldiers in Iraq, 100,000 Iraqi Civilians, come off of Bush's, and Rice's hands easily.
mike-PA: No they laugh at the Right but no one is laughing at the Witch Hunt hearings and it's one of the main reasons the Republican Party is almost extinct and soon to be fully, as soon as Americans come to understand what traitors and fascists own it. The right get's laughed at because they've become a caricature of ignorance, bigotry, corruption and stupidity more hilarious than "Larry, The Cable Guy". Darrell Issa is a criminal, grandson-of-a-nazi-war-criminal (in Romania), and likely a fascist who used and uses the Government Oversight Board as his personal vendetta mill, that is one of the definitions of the word "treason" I'm sure.
Get well soon, Hillary. Hope you are feeling better soon.
Shame on all of you "Compassionate Conservatives" out there. So much for your "Christian Family Values". What a bunch of HYPOCRITES!!!
I'd love to hear about her medical condition directly from her doctor . . . not a spokesperson. Seems a little odd we haven't heard from him/her.
Gbaby..Republican Party almost extinct...but everything is their fault....That makes a lot of sense..
Criminals...Fascist...Larry the Cable Guy....LMAO...Do you really take yourself seriously...because nobody else does.!
Witch Hunt on Bengazie...Lets see...
Hilary is afraid to testify
The President admits in a report by MSNBC ...how he has failed ...
Amb Rice withdraws from cosideration for Sec Stae because she got caught lying to the American Public..
4 Department Heads are fired to their total incompetancy During Bengazie ..
The President caught lying in the debates...yep ...he lied.
He said the day after the Bengazie Atacks in the Rose Garden he told the American people it was a Terroristic attack.....Then a few days later he went on the View and down to the United Nations and told the World it was a spontanaeous attack brought on by an Anti-Muslim Video....You see that is a definition of a Lie.....and he has to answer for it.......
GBaby ...you keeep telling yourself ...that Bengazie is a Witch Hunt... I know ...you like to put Politics above Human Life.....4 people died and the Administration lied to the American Public....Weather you are Republican or Democrat...you should be a pist off.
Nan: I repeat, HIPA? I know it's difficult for you to understand but it's the LAW!
How does a blood clot rule out some one from running for President in 2016? George Bush was President for eight years after a full frontal lobotomy.
That's not quite true, he had to have to HAVE a brain to have a lobotomy. He just had exploratory surgery and found nothing inside his head.
