1. The "comments" are pretty funny.

The fainters are Hillary plants sent there to disrupt the rallies? :rofl:

[bigdarryl]

2. OH COME ON!!!!!!!!!!

[Blue_In_AK]

20. That's what somebody actually said.

Did you read the comments? They're fall-down funny.

3. self deleted...I was wrong

[Jane Austin]

4. Link to Oprah teaching Obama this?

Thanks.

[ElsewheresDaughter]

8. are you seriously trying to tell me that this isn't a contrived part of his stumping spiel?

[blogslut]

10. Wow

Are you really that thick? Do you not understand the correlation between huge crowds, hot lights, people standing on line for hours and fainting?

Give it up. You're just making yourself look silly.

16. No shit, my wife was at the Eau Claire, WI rally today

A girl started to get woozy, and her mom had to help her off the stage. Obama tossed her a water bottle, and continued with his speech. My wife noticed that the girl did not look well long before going down. The people who were up front had to wait in line 6 hours outside just to get in Zorn Arena, then another 2 hours before Obama arrived, then an hour for his speech in a hot, crowded building, all the while standing up. It is a statistical likelihood that someone in the crowd would get wobbly legs. Anything for the Hil crowd to make light of, though, right? May the best candidate win.

32. I thought I read someone fainted when Hillary was speaking

somewhere today. I'll try to find the thread to post.

Any one with any info on this?




Peace:thumbsup:

24. So are you saying all those Beatle fans that fainted

weren't really overwhelmed with emotion when they saw the Beatles? They were just tired, hot, hungry, thirsty little girls. You're insulting many Beatle fans.

I'll bet those that fainted were young girls. Bet no men or older woman fainted due to the heat etc. That should disprove your theory.

LOL - Spell check made me do it. :evilgrin:

[blogslut]

27. Sorry

It's really hard to take you seriously when you've misspelled BEATLES twice in one post.

But yes, they too, attracted massive crowds that waited on line for hours, only to be crowded into venues with hot lights and inadequate seating.

But you go ahead and make Beatlemania into a chicks-only thing. That works so well.

12. Are they contrived at Clinton's events as well? N/T

[John Q. Citizen]

28. the Hill supporters seem to have a thick streak of tinfoil running through them.

From the suggestions, the innuendo and the constant unverified, baseless charges that Repos are being mass organized to vote for Obama, to the suggestion of planting fainters in Obama's crowds, the Hillary supporters are convinced that a vast conspiracy is afoot to deny their once and always queen her hereditary rightful ascension to the thrown.

What a bunch of paranoids!

Got any evidence, or is evidence a bad word?

[Jane Austin]

31. I'm not trying to tell you anything. You were

trying to tell all of us that Opray taught Obama some schtick.

I asked you for a link.

7. Did Clinton go to the Oprah class as well?

Man faints at Clinton rally in Bridgeton

One woman appeared to faint in the middle of Clinton’s speech. Clinton stopped to make sure she got some water, then told a story about fainting in front of the statue of David in Italy.

Two people pass out at Hillary Clinton rally

And there was at least one more fainting incident at a Clinton rally today.

No one is staging these events. It's a fairly common experience.

[ElsewheresDaughter]

11. nice try...all of your links DON"T work except the last one....try again

[woolldog]

14. Try this:

When you have large crowds, a packed house, and people standing for hours and hours, it's not uncommon. Get over it.

[ElsewheresDaughter]

21. okay...I see ..got it and am sorry for my ignorance on the fainting phenomenon

i feel stupid

[woolldog]

17. or this...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=78rfAAjriBo

I guess the Clintons took the same course...

[pdxmom]

18. Sorry. I've fixed them. Have a look. It happens everywhere. Or do you

believe that fainting is only real if it happens at a Clinton rally?

[ElsewheresDaughter]

22. thank you and please read my amended posts....I was wrong and am sorry

[rug]

5. This reminds me of Ben Hur when Jesus gave Charlton Heston a ladle of water.

[okasha]

36. They're just the warm-up acts.

I have it on good authority that Obama's scheduled to heal a leper next week in Texas. And the week after that, he's pencilled in a visit to an Ohio funeral home . . .for unspecified purposes.

[blogslut]

6. That's what happens when you attract massive crowds

Green-eyed monsters need not apply. :)

[MADem]

9. Maybe he ought to let his fans SIT for change--it might prevent that

postural hypotension that leads to these fainting episodes...

That "We Shall Be Overcome" title of the snark under the video is a bit funny...

To be fair, I don't believe it is orchestrated as that article and this one http://www.mynorthwest.com/?nid=76&sid=27720 suggest. I think some people are just really stupid and get hyper-excited for foolish reasons, is all. Remember that girl boohooing over that American Idol idiot? Same shit. It's not Obama's fault that he has "groupies."

[fenriswolf]

13. shouldnt you be responding to the many people

calling you on your harry and nancy love?

[MADem]

26. Shouldn't you stop stalking me like an overexcited, socially inept, and creepy teenager? NT

[fenriswolf]

29. why your so much fun

when your trying to make fun of me instead of defending your preposterous position that harry and nancy are doing good jobs.

[thoughtcrime1984]

19. It doesn't seem to be overexcitement

but rather standing for 8 hours or more in line and at the event in hot, crowded buildings. Maybe Hillary doesn't draw the kind of crowds that would go to that length to see her speak. :shrug:

[MADem]

25. Maybe she speaks in places with chairs?

:shrug:

I wasn't talking about her--I was speculating about him and his fans and the type of accomodations at his venues.

I don't see how "crowd size" would matter as to someone fainting, or not. Being able to have a seat might help, though.

[thoughtcrime1984]

35. Crowd size= standing room only= hot, cattle barn

That's what I meant.

[Window]

34. Diabetics would have a difficult time at events like those.

I'm sure there are other factors, but I am a diabetic and I've been caught in some strange situations. The last time was at an airport in Myrtle Beach -- and I thought I was prepared for the long wait.



Peace:thumbsup:

15. "an O-gasm"

30. I heard Michael Medved this week,,

instructing his callers to go to some site to look at all of these fainting spells. He said that this was like Ghouliani who instructed his staff to call him on the campaign trail to make him look more sincere,and he was relating this to Obama. I don't think this is what was happening..

[Hill_YesWeWill]

37. someone needs to remind these people not to lock their knees

this probably has something to do with them having to wait in lines for hours!

I'm bringing a folding chair and lots of water and snacks for rallies coming up in Texas, there's no way I'm going to let myself faint!
