Clinton Responds To Coulter Support With Coughing Fit

Candidates on the campaign trail are frequently faced with any number of tough questions and confronted on all sorts of difficult and divisive issues. But only Hillary Clinton has had to face down the harrowing prospect of earning the support of wackadoodle dandy Ann Coulter. When asked to respond to the news by George Stephanopoulos, Clinton was either forced to choke back a dollop of gorge or else found the prospect so amusing that it prompted a coughing jag. Anyway, who can blame Clinton for reacting the way she did? It definitely "humanizes" her!

That was a coughing "fit"?

Another stupid headline.

It's getting a bit disenchanted here. Can anyone recommend a better place to get something other than the national enquirer magazine version of political news that has seemed to have taken over this place?

Ann Coulter is poison. Anybody with decency and common sense knows to stay away from her, and ignore her stupidity. Obviously, Willard "Mitt" Romney was very pleased to have her introduce him once at a rally. Romney said having Coulter there was a "good thing"

Jason, you lied.

Please refer to Ann Coulter by her full name. It's Ann Eva Braun Coulter, or just plain Mrs. Hitler.
Besides Clinton's throat clearing, has anyone else noticed Obama's tendency toward exhaustion as compared to Clinton's stamina?

[BurtR]

did she say "strange bedfellows?"
please don't let the Clintons back into the WHite House.
Al Gore would have won easily if Bill would have acted like a grownup. So he is responsible for the mess we are in now.

I thought I was supposed to read Mr. Linkins' another hateful piece about Hillary. Surprisingly, this time around he is able to realize that Hillary is a human being too.

I am just so completely turned off by all the unfair, hysterical hatred towards Hillary and the blind worship toward Obama. No wonder Obama is surging, The 24/7 mainstream media's attack on Hillary while giving Obama a free ride certainly fuel Obama's phenomenon.

Without mainstream media's 24/7 macrophone, I don't believe that Obama could ascend so quickly to the god-line status.

Certainly from Obama supporters eyes as as well as mainstream media's views, Obama can do no wrong.

Wow.

Hillary states how independent voters are most interested in security, and then says that she was surprised to have Coutler's support.

That's it?

Coulter is symbolic of the divisive politics that we are all sick and tired of, and Hillary is fine with Coulter's support?

Shows a lack of understanding about how to lead public opinion toward improved political discourse. Rather than leading, Hillary shrank away from taking on the vitriolic element in our politics. WEAKNESS!!!

[AxelDC]

Awww! She's getting all choked about about her new friend, Eva Braun. Isn't that cute?

[jarrett]

I'm so disappointed. Huff Post is quickly losing any credibility by using Faux(Fox) News'-like tactics. Bias and exaggeration. Shame.

[Grulg]

Ummmm what was the big deal??

[Cybesq]

That wasn't a cough, it was Hillary chocking back bile. The same reaction that any human being would have upon hearing their own name associated with that of Republo-fascist creep, Ann Coulter.

[Tankan]

I'm no fan of Ann Coulter or Hillary!

In fairness, this is grabbing at straws!

So Hillary can cry and cough, how very human of her!

[PeacefullyYours]

She should not be allowed to vote for Hillary... or ANYONE.

[PeacefullyYours]

Should Coulter be ALLOWED to vote? She committed Voter Fraud in Florida in 2004.

They let the 2-year statute of limitations lapse on a SLAM DUNK case of felonious voter fraud.
