Isn't this apparently false "sniper fire" story a pretty big deal? |
|
I'm sure like everything else in this campaign it probably depends on what camp you find yourself in, but I think Clinton has some explaining to do. I would hope that the press would continue to ask her about it until she is able to either explain it or retract it.

1. I don't know why it's not big news--Obama is held to a much higher |
|
standard in the media, for some reason.

3. I honestly think that people expect HRC to mislead, so it is not as much a story. |

5. This one just seems pretty blatant |
|
Given the hell the media put Al Gore through insisting he was a "serial exaggerator" when he was not, you would think something like this that is so self-serving would garner more scrutiny.

It may not be the ACTUAL truth, but it's nevertheless true in a cosmic* sense, ya know? :shrug:
*cosmic = in my transverse colon. :thumbsup:

7. People absolutely despise fake veterans and this is the same type of lie. |
|
By falsely claiming that she was exposed to sniper fire and "ran for cover", she denigrates the service of our troops who face sniper fire every day. Troops that are in danger, in large part, due to cowards like Clinton.
I emailed the story to several West Virginia newspapers today. I suggest everyone do the same where they live.
She is a bald-faced liar. She lied when she said she "hadn't had time" to release her records. I'm sick and tired of it. Hillary is morally unfit to be President.

8. Lying for such little gain is sometimes called a compulsive liar. It reminds me |
|
of Bush. He just lies even when there is no need.
