Fainting at a Hillary Clinton Rally. And again. And again.
Web ^ | Today

Posted on 02/15/2008 6:08:59 PM PST by Shermy

An earlier thread commented on the growing suspicion Obama is using a trick to seem like he cares, and is in control. I thought, how about Hillary? Well,...

Bridgton, Missouri

Fainting at a Hillary rally

Albuquerque, New Mexico,

" More than 3,000 people patiently waited at Highland High for the candidate who appeared over an hour late. Former San Antonio Mayor and Clinton cabinet secretary Henry Cisneros warmed up the crowd. They were delighted when Chelsea Clinton appeared on stage with her mother. Moments after beginning her speech, a woman fainted on stage, but was fine after having a bottle of water. At least two of the state's "Super Delegates" http://joemonahansnewmexico.blogspot.com/2008/02/special-update-hillary-in-abq-8-pm.html

BillClinton speaks, girl faints (may be real)

Did you notice she was faced the other way and she grabs the water and says “Did somebody faint?” Jeez, she is an awful actress.

The first video of Hillary talking about paramedics is most like Obama’s.

I’m not sure about fainting but I’ll bet the muslim huma fakes it each time.

Here’s my take: fainting for Obama — real; fainting for HRC — fake.

At the height of Trudeaumania in Canada in the late ‘60’s, teenage girls fainted at every public appearance Trudeau made. It was just the thing to do, I suppose — like fainting for the Beatles. In fact, the marked similarities between a Trudeau rally, and a Beatles concert was what lead to the term “Trudeaumania”. How much of it was “real” fainting, and how much of it was just teenage girls competing to show who was most ‘into’ Trudeau; I can’t say. But, no one had to put them up to it. I doubt anyone’s putting them up to it for Obama; but, they almost certainly are staging it for Clinton.

BTW, Trudeaumania was all harmless fun — until he took over government. I think the same will be said for Obama-rama.

Obama.

Clinton’s team is foolish, and thinks little of the public. If they were smart when they saw Obama doing this they wouldn’t have copied it, but documented it. Then present a video melange of Obama’s fainting tricks.

There was an incident in New Hampshire that may not be fake, or Obama didn’t know at first it wasn’t fake. He sounded all in control, but fretted after the minutes passed and the Dartmouth student didn’t get up...or the student was overacting.

How stupid they must think Americans are that they would believe people actually fainted at their stupid rallies.

I guess they think we forgot that Frank Sinatra's publicity machine in the early years paid bobby soxers to go to his shows and scream, gush, faint, cry, etc. etc. which then led to news reports of fainting girls which led to publicity for Sinatra.

This is a very old and frankly really lame attempt at dramatics that is not going to help them.

How stupid they didn’t think about documentation on the internet, youtube, etc?

Very stupid.

Bizarre. It is a post-Christian revival movement, where people faint because they can just feel the embodiment of the leviathan state in the room.

I’m going to post a story this weekend by a well-known 20th century writer. It seems to capture the utter strangeness of the Democratic race this year (and by extension, the general election).

Ha! No I didn’t see that (actually I can’t watch Hellary or I might....f...well, get sick). I was taking the word of the others.

But she was turned the other way?????

Woohoo! Come on, Matt Drudge!

Put Hillary’s fake feinters on your website too now!

Naughty you....they can’t get that on videotape you know....

I want this one on Drudge. He has Obama’s fakes on there.

What a pure hoot!

Now put Hillary or Obama in front of some real Americans and you would see some people getting visibly and openly sick —— but not from fainting for joy.....

That would be a hoot - one of the Repub candidates needs to have a parody where everybody in their audience faints all at once and the candidate offers them all water!!!!

Ha ha ha ha ha - who would be bold enough to do it????

I just got back from a Bill event in Tyler, Texas. They crowded about 800 people into a small room and turned away another 200, including me. I moved around to the back of building where the cars were going to unload to catch a glimpse of the Impeached One. Sure enough, the EMT's had to go in because several people were fainting. Several others left the room and waited outside because it was so hot and stuffy inside.

I stayed around until he left. The state troopers moved the Suburban over the curb to directly in front of the door to pick him up - hoping to keep him from coming out and shaking hands with all of us. (They were already two hours off schedule with 2 more stops to go.)He was almost into the truck when our chanting and yelling drew him out like a magnet. He came on out and shook hands for about 10 minutes. I have some great shots of his knarled face up close. I even got one shot of him shaking my hand. Yes, I washed my hands thoroughly. It was just fun to see the circus in person.

“Bizarre. It is a post-Christian revival movement, where people faint because they can just feel the embodiment of the leviathan state in the room.”

Ob, you are right and I got some extra news for you. Some of the fainting at revivals, esp. the ones asking for money, is fake.

Obama shows he cares, and is in control. Hillary not so well.

Still looking for video from Albuquerque.

The reporter in video linked below says Chelsea jumped out of her seat to help the fainter...gosh, that sounds familiar!

Hillary’s crowd is the geriatric-types so without the proper “meds”, they are prone to fainting. Obama’s crowd faints probably from someone passing around a bad doobie.

EVERYONE!!!

CHECK THIS OUT. HILLARY IN ALBUQUERQUE!@ Go about two minutes in!

http://www.koat.com/video/15207147/index.html

You can see the people behind her get worried. Hillary misses her cue. Then she sees the plant and goes to get a bottle of water...but her posse forgot to plant it! Then she starts instructing rescue.

She’s no Obama in the acting department!

Obummer will be lucky that he only feels faint.....

I would not be surprised if he winds up face down in Ft Marcy Park sometime in the next month or so......

....Hillary and Bubba really can't be happy that a big eared, semi-black loudmouth is taking away the power that is theirs..... after all....Hillary has 35, count them, 35(thirty five)hard working years of "experience"....

Someone might grab the video and post it on youtube. I don’t know how. Before it disappears!
