In the continual tornadic swirl surrounding Hillary Clinton which is borne of clashing fronts of information and misinformation, you really need to be careful, Dorothy. The storms could stir up a nest of bayou vipers. Or a goddess might rise from the furious clouds and throw lightning at you.
While those of us here were worried sick about our Hillary this week, FOX News* continued, in fact worsened, their outrageous attacks on our girl saying she would go to any length, including developing a life-threatening blood clot, to avoid testifying about the attack on the consulate in Benghazi.
Since we were all preoccupied with her condition, I left those attacks on the sidelines earlier this week. We just wanted her safe and healthy, so my attitude (and probably yours) was “Screw them!” We simply wanted not to lose her! God, I was worried! Now that her condition has improved and she is looking forward to returning to work (an understatement according to Victoria Nuland who said today, “…she is raring to go… “), we can take a step back to the atrocious remarks that echoed all over FOX News about the genesis of Mme. Secretary’s health crisis.
The malicious and cold-hearted comments did not sit well with those who know our Hillary. James Carville rose like a cottonmouth from the bayou, as Politico reports.
James Carville: Hillary Clinton haters ‘inhumane’
By KEVIN CIRILLI | 1/4/13 5:57 PM ESTJames Carville slammed the “inhumane, idiotic” critics who questioned the legitimacy of Hillary Clinton’s recent head injury and said it was “duly noted” inside Clinton-land.
“What kind of human being is going to think like that with everything going on with concussions, head injuries? The fact the woman was dehydrated from the fact that she’d been overseas so much — I just don’t know, and some of these people I know and I get along with,” Carville said Friday in a CNN interview.
With Lawrence O’Donnell on The Last Word, the goddess, Karen Finney, let loose with a torrent of well-aimed lightening bolts to insta-burn to a crisp each and every opprobrious sound bite, and she was glorious!
Wasn’t she magnificent?
Having realized that by polishing my second floor furniture (a rare occurrence) two days earlier, I may well have caused Sandy to blow through that area, breaking windows and walls, and that by moving the shovels we used to scoop the plaster up back to their rightful place in the cellar I probably caused last week’s snow dump, I think I just might be a witch and Hillary attackers should beware of me too (as soon as I can fine-tune my powers not to backfire on me). You just don’t want Hillary’s people (especially Hillary’s women) mad at you. Anything can happen.

Just a side comment: Could it be that Fox is desperate to hear the truth from Hillary? The game of politics always includes the rule of attacking someone who is not following your orders! Hillary is undoubtedly the most reliable source of truth in this administration, and even Fox has recognized that fact. Julia Hughes Jones
But they were attacking someone who was ill. Someone pointed out at the cross-post that Chelsea tweeted a get well message to George H.W. Bush – he was in the hospital. Fox News attacked Hillary when she was sick. It’s plain meanness. I don’t remember Fox News ever being particularly interested in the truth.
jjones, IMO you give FOX entirely too much credit. To the many “journalists” (term used loosely) and pundits at FOX, the “truth” is not the object of their pursuit. They want to utilize any and every issue to support a right wing ideology, and to attack politicians and public figures who are not conservative. If the public figure happens to be a Clinton, especially Hillary Clinton, they are even more gleeful and diligent in their search for their so-called “truth”. As Still said, they falsely accused Hillary of faking a serious illness. If FOX “journalists” are desperate for the truth, why would they broadcast lies, framed as mocking questions about the validity of Hillary’s illness? Why would they repeatedly broadcast innuendo, accented with a perfectly measured degree of righteous indignation? The answer of course is that through repetition, these lies become “truth” about Hillary, particularly to people who want to believe the wost about her.
FOX owes the Clintons an apology. Like their counterparts, CNN, MSNBC, and other media outlets with a strong liberal bias, FOX has an agenda, and the truth be damned. And like the pro-Obama networks such as CNN and NBC, FOX will not apologize for their biased reporting, nor for the untruths they broadcast daily – often, hourly.
