What Year Is It? ‘Stop Hillary PAC’ Invokes Whitewater, Vince Foster In New Attack Ad

The 2016 presidential election may be more than three years away, but some Republicans have already organized an effort to block the top contender from ever reaching the White House.

Stop Hillary PAC, a political action committee led by right-wing Colorado state senator Ted Harvey — best known for his efforts to allow concealed weapons in schools — warns on its website that “Hillary Clinton is the liberal standard-bearer of the next generation of liberal creep on our Constitutional rights.” Its solution? To “stop Hillary Clinton now, together, before it’s too late. Because in 2016, it will be too late.”

To that end, the PAC has released its first ad — and even by the depressingly low standards of those afflicted with Clinton Derangement Syndrome, it’s pretty far out there.

The ad, apparently set at Hillary Clinton’s post-apocalyptic inauguration, reintroduces a laundry list of debunked Clinton conspiracies in an effort to scare voters away from the former Secretary of State. From Vince Foster’s suicide to Whitewater to Benghazi, the Stop Hillary PAC has created a handy cheat sheet to every baseless attack that ever failed to prevent the Clintons from enjoying more popular support than arguably any other politicians in America.

Stop Hillary PAC is just one of several outside groups that has already mobilized in an attempt to derail a potential Clinton campaign before it begins (another, “Stop Hillary 2016,” is led by Mitt Romney’s former campaign manager, Matt Rhoades.) But if a stale, absurd accusation that Clinton assassinated Vince Foster is the best that the right can come up with — here in 2013 — then Clinton’s march to the White House would actually be easier than anyone could have anticipated.

When someone says that age “is just a number,” they’re talking about a fact of life that everyone knows: As some people get older, they hold onto a youthful vitality and suffer less from age-related illness, while others feel and show the toll of advancing years.

And with so many of us living longer than previous generations, the measure of lifespan, or the number of years we exist, is increasingly overshadowed by the concept of “healthspan,” meaning the number of years we spend in reasonably good health.

President Vladimir Putin, left, and former President Donald Trump

"Russian propaganda has made its way into the United States, unfortunately, and it's infected a good chunk of my party's base." That acknowledgement from Texas Rep. Michael McCaul, Republican chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, was echoed a few days later by Ohio Rep. Michael Turner, the chairman of the Intelligence Committee. "To the extent that this propaganda takes hold, it makes it more difficult for us to really see this as an authoritarian versus democracy battle."
