Clinton Hostage-Taker Allegedly Cited Her Campaign Ad

I hadn’t heard that ad before. I support Clinton and understand the healthcare crisis. But that ad is disconcerting. The hospital absorbs the cost of the transplant? Ummm. That’s the root of the crisis. The hospital absorbed nothing – they just pass the cost to the other patients. That’s why one aspirin costs $37. Insurance companies won’t pay it, so they only pay 12cents for the aspirin and it’s the patient who is stuck with the $36.88 bill for an aspirin – nevermind the rest of the hospital bill :(

I just viewed the Clinton 2000 senatorial election campaign video advertisement. Sounds like Hilary though she was the second coming of Jesus Christ! Laying her hands on ill people and letting the system cure them! Is she going to do that for everybody?

Oh for heaven’s sake! Get a grip, America. The truth is, we are each ONLY responsible for our actions and for our reactions to the actions of others. We are NOT responsible for what some other person does if we have acted in a way we consider appropriate. Hillary Clinton is not responsible for some alcoholic psycho going off the rails. It could have been anything, including a mouse running across his foot. More likely it was the 48 hours of alcohol consumption.

I knew there was a tie in directly to Hillary and her socialistic health care plan. She needed some serious support and here it is. She can make big hay out of this and I’m sure she will. I think the message will be something like, “My vision of socialism includes free health care for everyone and that includes mental health. With enough socialism we can all be assured that mentally ill suicide bombers won’t be threatening people again. I would hate for anyone else have to go the through terror I had to endure and as a woman, I know what I am talking about. My husband Bill Clinton, who we all know and love, supports me 100% and I’m sure you will too! When we win and are back in the White House together again, you know we will work together on it.”

abc you are absolutely disgusting,instead of thinking about lives playing a part,this was a psyco who stalks people…i would like to see you take this off your air…before some other loon toon goes and does the same thing…how can abc stoop this low…quit playing with peoples lives…get grip America….

This is horrible and irresponsible reporting on the behalf of ABC News. Hillary Clinton’s ad on health care is NOT responsible for a man being pushed to an act of terrorism. Maybe your story should focus on angle of our country’s health care is so pathetic that a man who truly needs mental assistance, has to go to bizarre and insane antics to get some one to take notice. The situation was tragic and ABC’s spin on the events is ridiculous.

I really wonder if this is another Clinton stunt! Was this another plant? Can she really be trusted?

She’s the biggest liar in NY. NY’ers voted for this lowlife, what morons. That’s what you get when you have to many freeloaders in the state and a president who pardons thiefs for votes. Go get a job.

Hillary can placate anyone she likes, on live tv ads, or elsewhere. She still has no credibility, will never recover any credibility, and is running incredibly tight in a very lightweight field, as usual, and dropping like a stone nationally. Hillary is pretty prissy, but doomed if she is even able to make it to a general election.

It is amazing what people will put in print! Someone once told me I would have more success turning a rock into a feather than changing a Stubborn, narrow minded, Conservative Republican into a rationally thinking, happy, well-adjusted human being. The Hillary haters here and on most every political post i have read – prove this point time and again.
So, to those folks who understand exactly what I am saying- continue to smile- bite your tongue and try to remember- Stupid is as stupid does. AND Thank your lucky stars you are not one of them!!

Whether true or not, the story in the ad neither rehabilitates Clinton’s credibility nor credits her as trustworthy. If she did intercede, it was to score points during an election campaign. Slowly, America is recognizing that Hillary Rodham Clinton is not a good person, she is a scheming, self serving politician of the worst order. The nut who invaded her NH office did, however, make one point clear – Clinton was afraid to confront him. Some leader!

What was this drunk’s excuse when he was charged by his wife for attacking her, to the point where he was supposed to go to court while he threatened Clinton supporters? What was this so-called nutcase excuse when he boozed it up for reportedly 72 hours? What is the excuse of the people posting here who just don’t get it — there are middle class Americans who cannot get insurance coverage because they have pre-existing conditions insurance won’t cover (I know, I am one of them). What is the excuse of Americans who don’t want all Americans to have life-saving health care, while our men and wome in uniform are risking their lives for their freedom? What is ABC suits’ excuse for enabling that drunk to blame an advertisement for his selfish stupidity?

What a pernicious, inflammatory & yes, silly headline! Shame ABC !!!

Anybody thinks it’s pernicious to ridicule the Clinton’s???Her husband was partially responsible for an intelligence failure that got thousands of people killed.She voted for a war where tens of thousands have been butchered.THAT’S PERNICIOUS!!!!

I can’t believe I see people attacking the former Clinton administration based on security. So the Clintons caused many deaths, because intellegince failed? Wow. The Bush administration has caused ~70,000 deaths in Iraq. 3,888 of them our troops. IDIOTS.

clintons are liars and cheats, we should have traded hillary for the hostages

No act like this occurs in isolation. Any candidate who uses testimonials to support their position is setting up unrealistic expectations. When that is combined with someone who is desperate and has an unrealistic view of the world this is what we get. Clinton is known for pandering to needy people and making promises to them to get votes. This poor sick man just needed her to deliver right now. This should be a lesson to all candidates, please, no more commercials or speeches with heart wrenching individual tragedies to manipulate people, just stick to the issues.

The American presidency needs moral leadership. The youth of the society are the future. They need credible leadership, or the society decays. They do not need liars, cheaters, sexual perverts and the likes of the Clintons in the White House. Face facts, the Clintons are sleaze. They are owned by corrupt corporate lobbyists. The whole world is watching. The Clintons are incompetent. He inherited a booming tech economy and drove it into a tech wreck and recession. Clinton balanced the budget to please his republican cronies, but couldn’t care less about the health care he promised when campaigning. He shafted the American worker with bad trade deals. Clinton should have taken out Bin Laden when his whereabouts were known. Both WTC attacks were planned under Clinton, and now the resulting wars have left the country bankrupt. Hillary voted for the wars and now for one with Iran. It is the Clintons’ disgracing of the presidency that caused the democrats to lose the White House, and the Congress. It was a direct result. This also led to a conservative Supreme Court that has permanent repercussions due to their lifetime appointments. The Clintons are an unmitigated disaster for America. Obama is the future.

Look at any socialised health care system, and you will see that A very large number of services that are important to “quality of life” will be refused.
That organ transplant that the Hillary brags about in the commercial, probably wont even be available under any of the Democrats plans.The money to ptovide these services, have to come from somewhere, and I have yet to see any Government agency, use money efficiently.

I am amused by how many Americans are opposed to a National healthcare program. We already do. When an uninsured go to a hospital, they get medical services, and we all pay for it somehow.
The government should offer a government sponsored healthcare program. Those who don’t like the idea should keep their Commercial insurance.
Our country spends the most in healthcare but behind in life expectancy, infant motality rates, and average height.
Remember when NY governor said giving the illegal immigrants a drivers license a good idea and most said NO. Well, i got news for you all, those illegal immigrants are already driving. So let’s just ignore that. We don’t really care if they know how to drive or not. We don’t want to find out.

also did you notice the other article attached at the top of this one?
CLINTON SKIRTS HEALTH CAP DETAILS
LOL

The point has been missed entirely…i do not believe ABC has attempted to discredit Sen. Clinton with a mere article or its title. Many people have wondered aloud concerning this suspect’s motive – this article simply attempts to shed some light on his derangement, not criticize Clinton’s healthcare brainchild! Are her supporters actually feeling so defensive???
Concerning the ad itself, it is a strikingly poor example of campaign credibility validation, relying on a single case 8 years old to put the spotlight on her humanitarian efforts. One helpless healthcare victim saved, and suddenly she’s created the master plan of healthcare salvation. She helped this man…good…great. Now what about the 16 or 17 other people who die each and every day waiting on a vital transplant? Doesn’t matter, it’d be impossible to fit them all into the ad campaign. Hey, come to think about it, I’ve often assisted others in paying for gasoline when they’re down and out! Perhaps I’ve solved the energy crisis.

“kit” (the 2nd poster), is ABSOLUTELY CORRECT! My husband had told me, that when his father had needed surgery, after having told his doctor that he couldn’t afford it since his insurance company would only pay a small amount for it, his doctor said, “Don’t worry about that, the other patients will take care of it”! In other words, the hospital NOR Hillary, would have paid ONE CENT towards the transplant of that boy in the commercial…WE (“the other patients”) did…(though I AM against this current TOTALLY PRIVATE SECTOR healthcare system) this ad WAS MISLEADING!!! DENNIS KUCINICH HAS THE ABSOLUTE BEST HEALTHCARE PLAN (which won’t only provide decent & affordable care for all, but will ENSURE that the drug AND insurance companies WON’T PROFIT)!!!!!

I think Clinton will help get this guy help.no one else would.Bush sure wouldn’t.She’s a great person and will make a good president.

Butch,
EXACTLY!
The irresponsible nature behind Hillary Clinton’s (Marxist) campaign propaganda is precisely what contributed to this guy’s expectations and desperate move: “Hillary made a phone call and helped that person, so she’s gotta be able to help me too…”
Yes, wouldn’t it be nice if each of our senators would just pick of the phone to intimidate and threaten our hospitals on behalf of every person’s medical needs?!

The vitriol of many of hese comments
speak to the authors as people bewilderingly frustrated with their own lives – from when does their misery come that they need to vilify Senator Clinton. Senator Clinton is loved and respected by many of us who can see her for what she is, a courageous woman who cares about this country and its citizens, even those who vilify her. God Bless her and those of us who value her good works. I pray for those who only see the dark side.
