Why do Freepers blame Hillary Clinton for the flu vaccine shortage?
What's the story behind this (aside from their general hate for her)?

1. Maybe because they forgot to blame Al Gore
for saying he invented vaccines or something.

It's HARD WORK being an ignorant freeper.

2. They gave Bill the week off due to surgery.
And they have to blame SOMETHING named Clinton or else their heads implode.

3. Fear
They fear her.

They fear any successful, strong opinionated woman.

4. Because Hillary is someone that is always at fault
If they don't blame Hillary, then it's now Kerry's fault.

5. Because they're out of their friggin' minds
and believe everything they hear. Did that big fat idiot Rush make that one up?

7. Watching freepers is like watching groundhogs at the Zoo.
It's a huge waste of time, but sorta fun.

Every once in a while one of them lets out a yell, which sets them all off for a few secs. You can wonder why they do what they do endlessly and never really find the answer.
The best you'll ever do is figure out their internal hiarchy and identify behaviors related to sex and self-preservation.

8. For the terminally stupid, it fits the Hillary = healthcare disaster meme.
That's my guess, anyway.

13. the official freeper line i heard via my girlfriend from a wing-nut
where she works is this:

hillary clinton had a bill passed that limits the amount of profit drug companies can make. (my, what power she has!)

therefore, no drug companies will make vaccines anymore and only foreign -- or furrin' -- companies make vaccines and our ever-efficient government, with its superlative standards and overwhelming compassion for its citizens ain't gon' let no damn furrin' vaccine in here to con-tammy-nate our citizens.

or so said wingnut says ....

14. Debunkers: what's the story behind that claim?
That's it.

But I guess what I want to know is why exactly that's BS.

15. Provide us a link to the claim, first.
Somebody did that recently & Googling revealed no facts behind it.
