Hillary Clinton Shows Her Bigotry Toward Vulnerable Persons


[From article]
Hillary Clinton has questioned the mental health of Cristina Kirchner and asked US diplomats to investigate whether the Argentinian president is taking medication to help her "calm down".
The US secretary of state painted Kirchner as a volatile and emotional leader who suffered from "nerves and anxiety", according to a secret cable sent to the US embassy in Buenos Aires.
[. . .]
In a section headed "mental state and health" she asked how the first lady-turned president was managing "her nerves and anxiety" in a blunt tone which suggested US concerns.
"How does stress affect her behaviour toward advisers and/or her decision-making? What steps does Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner or her advisers/handlers take in helping her deal with stress? Is she taking any medications?
"Under what circumstances is she best able to handle stresses? How do Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner's emotions affect her decision-making and how does she calm down when distressed?"

This is evidence of the negative stereotyping that Hillary Clinton places on a psychiatric diagnosis. It indicates that in spite of her claim to be compassionate and sensitive to vulnerable persons she is a mean-spirited bigot toward persons with disabilities. In addition it is established US law that medical records are private. It appears that Hillary Clinton took up the standards employed by Barack Obama in his election campaigns. He used personal matters to defame an opponent. But this is also an attack on all persons with disabilities. It shows how shameless this alleged Democratic candidate is and to what length she will go to obtain her ends, just like Obama. For Clinton persons with disabilities must know their place i.e., to be satisfied getting treatment from experts approved by the upper class elite.
