Might even make Clinton be disqualified

I know having news in the title might be annoying. But this is big time news IMO.

What a load of stuff. Here's some excerpts from "AAPS"

http://www.aapsonline.org/index.php/about_us/

The Association of American Physicians and Surgeons - AAPS - is a non-partisan professional association of physicians in all types of practices and specialties across the country.

To serve the state?  Or to serve our patients?  That is the question we will increasingly face as government forces its power into every nook and cranny of our professional lives.

The Association of American Physicians and Surgeons, AAPS,  has been fighting the good fight to preserve the  practice of private medicine since 1943. When the Clinton health plan was proposed

Our monthly newsletter, AAPS News is packed with political, legal, and practical information that physicians cannot afford to miss.

AAPS offers its members discounts on disability and other essential insurance products that are as good or better than the discounts offered by other national medical societies. (meaning they offer direct benefits for "donations")

So, if you are like me, and you are tired of contributing to organizations which claim to be your advocate, but do little more than lobby for short term payment increases, support politicians who cannot be trusted, and feed their own self preserving coffers by selling you CPT coding manuals, come join us at the AAPS.

Did all those media outlets literally set out to find the most biased, unreliable source they can get their hands on?

The association is generally recognized as politically conservative or ultra-conservative, and its publication advocates a range of scientifically discredited hypotheses, including the belief that HIV does not cause AIDS, that being gay reduces life expectancy, that there is a link between abortion and breast cancer, and that there are links between autism and vaccinations.

[they advocate] that human activity has not contributed to climate change, and that global warming will be beneficial and thus not a cause for concern

What a giant load of horse stuff.

come on now. it shouldn't be hard to realize this survey is bogus.

might as well lock the thread unless you want lord tony to start another 10-page long argument

I love this new tactic that fringe organizations partake in, whereby they label themselves with a name that sounds really official and reliable, but really they're all crazy as stuff. A few that come to mind are the National Vaccine Information Center, the Geoscience Research Institute, and the Crime Prevention Research Center.

Nothing really new about this. For example, this whackjob of an organization was created in 1943.

[Rednakin]

Conservative stuff tabloid quotes a conservative stuff organisation with a laundry list of positions that go against empirical science. Posting multiple articles that use the same source doesn't make it less false.

[Dannu]

Even if this was an honest mistake on OP's part, if you put [NEWS] in title, you should be expected to do at least a minimal level of critical investigation. It took me a grand total of 5 minutes to figure out the AAPS is bullstuff.

Hillary's unhealthy and all but this is just stupid

[McZealot]

was this an online survey linked to from /r/the_donald

[LeisureSuit912]

Annoying Orange supporters are getting desperate now that he's behind in the polls

[Rednakin]

It's not 100% proven bullstuff, but the source is biased and unreliable.

alt-right and other conservative mongrels blame the left for turning "right wing" into a dirty word, but those right wing organisations and people are the ones who screwed their own credibility by supporting ridiculous pseudosciencetific claims that anyone who hasn't been beaten over the head with a Bible could disprove.

Implying conservatives are religious nuts
