Hillary Clinton is dying - A valid question or cruel hoax?

The American people have a right to know the truth.

Is Hillary Clinton dying? Does she have a brain tumor? Is she heavily medicated? Or is this simply the stuff of supermarket tabloids?

LOS ANGELES, CA (California Network) - There is a curious question about Hillary Clinton. Could the Democratic nominee be dying? And if so, then why would she be running for president? Or are these simply unfounded rumors?

Bizarre incidents over the past few years have many experts speculating on Hillary Clinton's health. Seizures captured on film, coughing fits on live television. Photographs of Clinton being helped up stairs, and baggy clothing, even in the summer. There's the curious injection pen carried by a member of her staff. Her doctor has been seen in unusual proximity to her on many occasions.

It's a fair question to ask about the health of a prospective commander in chief. The American people have a right to inquire about the health and fortitude of their next leader and chief international representative.

When a potential presidential candidate has a seizure on camera or is photographed with a hole in her tongue, the people have a right to ask. A presidential candidate is not entitled to the same privacy and respect that ordinary people enjoy. No topic can be too intimate, no question is too personal.

Then there's the supposed leak of a medical document that has a diagnosis of "complex partial seizures and subcortical vasucal dementia." Is the document real?

If Clinton is ill, why is she running for president? The Democratic National Committee is not the Make-a-Wish Foundation. It seems unreasonable they would be expending great treasure to make Clinton president for a day, only to see her hand it off straightaway to Tim Kane.

There are plenty of skeptics. The Daily Beast pointed out the first person to break the news that Clinton could be unfit was Paul Joseph Watson. Watson writes for InfoWars. InfoWars is known for its distinct style of posing questions.

But InfoWars merely asks questions. The site presents the evidence and allows readers to decide what to think. This is how real journalism is supposed to work, except we've come to confuse mainstream yellow journalism that gives you your opinion with actual journalism. Unlike other news services, InfoWars does not do your thinking for you. Therefore, it is impossible for Watson to have started a hoax. A hoax requires a claim, not a question. It is not Watson's fault is some people run too far with the question.

Nonetheless, the question alone is worth taking a step. Hillary Clinton has demonstrated some odd behaviors that reasonably demand an explanation. Why does she wear baggy clothing so often? Is she wearing an adult diaper? What's causing the seizures? Could her capacity be impaired?

It's unfortunate the questions are present, but they are the natural product of the evidence. The American people have the right to know that the person they elect is fit for duty. Asking these questions is in no way a critique of the person's character. Although, refusing to address them certainly is.
