Skepticism Is Not a Conspiracy Theory

This is not alien ships in Area 51 or the moon landing. This is all about a candidate that has spent her public career lying and spinning every event. It can't be a conspiracy when the underlying events are shrouded in more than reasonable doubt.

Lately, when liberals want to discredit an opinion, or inference, or speculation that is not to their liking, they often label it a conspiracy theory. Today we have seen a couple of instances of that, relating to Hillary Clintons health. The Washington Posts Chris Cillizza, quoted here, wrote:

Hillary Clinton falling ill Sunday morning at a memorial service on the 15th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks will catapult questions about her health from the ranks of conservative conspiracy theory to perhaps the central debate in the presidential race over the coming days. . .

The New York Times did the same thing:

Her husband, Bill Clinton, however, has said that Mrs. Clinton required six months of very serious work to get over the concussion a statement that helped feed conspiracy theories among Republicans that Mrs. Clintons concussion was worse than initially disclosed, though there is no medical evidence to support those theories.

Hillary naturally joined in:

Asked whether she was concerned such questions about her health would affect the election, as the polls have tightened, Mrs. Clinton said, Im not concerned about the conspiracy theories.

Believing, or suspecting, that Hillary has health problems is not, and never has been, a conspiracy theory. There has been considerable evidence to support such belief or speculation: her frequent unexplained absences from the campaign trail, the contradictory information put out about her concussion, the email from Huma Abedin saying Hillary is often confused, her late reappearance at one of the debates, her needing to be helped up a short flight of stairs, her frequent, spasmodic coughing fits.

But that isnt really the point. Even if there were little or no evidence to support the belief that Hillary has health problems, that beliefa rejection of, or skepticism toward, assurances that Hillary is perfectly fineisnt a conspiracy theory. It could be wrong, it could even be irrational, but that isnt what conspiracy theory means. Similarly, the belief held by many Democrats that Donald Trump is a racist may be ill-founded or wrongI think it isbut it isnt a conspiracy theory.

Nowadays, you should perk up when you hear liberals labeling something a conspiracy theory. Frequently it means, Nothing to see here. Move along.

This woman lies. About everything. It's the default. She does it regularly just to keep in practice.

Why would her health be any different?

you've seen how the democrats are responding - literally with comments like 'yea people get sick, get over it, at least she's not trump'

the key for them is to just package all of her health issues into one, dismissable event and just, as is her whole and only campaign strategy, incessantly hate on trump - but not on his supporters, as she learned

Clinton scare shakes up the race

Physical weakness caught on camera turns health conspiracy into a legitimate campaign concern.

Hillary Clinton’s health – long the obsession of conspiracy theorists — emerged Sunday as a legitimate campaign issue after Clinton nearly swooned and stumbled at a Sept. 11 commemoration, underscoring the sense that that summer’s sure-thing candidate is flagging at a pivotal moment.
