If someone made a thread about Trump being a narcissist (highly probable) and used similar tactics by a similar hack org it would be laughed off the boards.
Yet despite the lab coats and the official-sounding name, the docs of the AAPS are hardly part of mainstream medical society. Think Glenn Beck with an MD. The group (which did not return calls for comment for this story) has been around since 1943. Some of its former leaders were John Birchers, and its political philosophy comes straight out of Ayn Rand. Its general counsel is Andrew Schlafly, son of the legendary conservative activist Phyllis. The AAPS statement of principles declares that it is "evil" and "immoral" for physicians to participate in Medicare and Medicaid, and its journal is a repository for quackery.
I first discovered JPANDS in early 2006, when it published a paper by Dr. Mark and David Geier purporting to find a downward trend in autism diagnoses after the removal of thimerosal from vaccines. The paper was so ludicrously, execrably bad in design, execution and analysis that I had a hard time believing that any self-respecting journal would publish such tripe. (Indeed, it was even worse than the Geiers’ latest offering, hard as it is to believe.) Poking around back issues of JPANDS, I found that the Geiers were not the only ones torturing epidemiology and medical science in the pages of JPANDS (more on that later).
AAPS opposes the concept of evidence-based medicine, warning its members that: Physicians must beware of accepting the concept of a standard of care that is itself evidence-based, threatening the autonomy of physicians and subjugating the patient’s interest to that of the collective. (AAPS Newsletter) [Evidence-based guidelines] are a divisive force, creating uncertainty and mistrust, and undermining confidence in physicians and our medical system. EBGs can be used either to accuse physicians of withholding therapy, or of prescribing unnecessary or unproven treatments. Behind the façade of EBGs, [managed care organizations] can determine medical policy with impunity. (Norman Latov MD)

Where are they working with Breitbart?
Wow, get ready to "defend" against the truth combined with a sadly out-of-date sex joke.
Classy.
As a matter of fact, this is a well-known ultra-conservative partisan group known for taking and supporting extreme right-wing positions not backed up with medical facts.

Liberals will try to debunk these doctors and their examinations of Hillary. The left loves to preach science, until its inconvenient. So what is it you silly leftist?? Is the science doctors frauds and the bible is real or will you admit god and trump are the only fact sources??
Balls in your court, lefty's!
Can you point out where they have access to her full medical records? Oh yeah they don't do they. So their "analysis" is nothing more than political BS.
Ya, that's a shame. It's just like they don't have access to Trump's taxes. So their "analysis" is nothing more than political BS.

Speaking about defending the truth, you're abusing the genetic fallacy, disputing an argument based on where it comes from and not on its merits. Though it could be true that the doctors are politically motivated in their choices, it is fallacious to make that presumption, and worse, foolish to continue doing so.

Your kidding right? It's obvious that you didn't examine the connotations or you would have found exactly what I stated instead of the misleading and utter nonsense you posted.
All you have to do is go to the portion where it states they are a "ultra conservative" group. You'll see conotations 9, 11, and 12. Those are the references for why the labeled it that way. Click the connotations and it provides a link to the article.
The connotations you mentioned (1-8) are not in reference to political views.
This is research 101!!
