"Patton Oswalt Flips The Idiotic Hillary Clinton Pneumonia ‘Controversy’ On Its Head"

pegaso shared this link in a public post over on his Facebook page and here was my reply to it, which I will cut/paste into this post, because it's a general statement as well as a response to his post:

HRC hasn't been able to so much as take a dump these past 30 years or so without a bunch of morons trying to criticize her for it in some way, yet Trump could eat/kick a puppy and kick/eat a baby and hardly anyone would bat an eye anymore. E.g. just look at the "Commander In Chief Forum" from the other day, where Matt Lauer got in more hot water for "letting" Trump blatantly lie, than Trump got in for the lying itself. (And yet, people say that it's HRC who is the dishonest one.)

I think that says more about Trump than it does about HRC, though.

With HRC, people on the opposing side are continuously looking *so* hard to find *anything* to dislike about her, and when they do find the least little thing, they blow it all out of proportion and turn it into some huge, all-damning "scandal," not that they wouldn't dislike her even *without* finding any valid reasons to do so.

With Trump, however, as he himself said, he could go out and shoot someone in the street, and there'd still be idiots willing to vote for him. With Trump, you more or less *expect* him to do or say imbecilic things at this point. It's actually more surprising these days when he's relatively sane.

Either way, it's asinine. This entire political cycle has been idiotic, and I thought it couldn't possibly get worse than when Obama started running and all the blatant, ludicrous racists really started coming out of the woodwork.

Here is the bit where Trump said the whole "I could shoot somebody..." thing. (But, of course, now he's trying to turn that around and apply the same thing to Hillary Clinton as though it were a bad thing [which, obviously, it was all along, but apparently Trump is so stupid that he thinks it's only a bad thing if it's in reference to Clinton instead of himself]. What a fucking goddamn moron Trump is. You can't have your cake and eat it too, numbnuts.)

I've already briefly touched on that whole "Commander In Chief Forum" brouhaha.

Also, while I'm not the biggest fan of Patton Oswalt ever, credit where credit is due, in this case. Oswalt hit the nail on the head, here. So yeah, there is that, too.
