Subscribe to Stingray's FeedTen years ago, anyone who pointed out Bill or Hillary Clinton’s glaringly obvious lies were dismissed as extremists, kooks, dividers, liars, and talk radio robots. Now, for some odd reason — which has nothing to do with the media love affair with Obama — the mainstream media is investigating Hillary’s campaign speeches. The conclusion: Hillary Clinton is a patholigical liar who will say or do anything to get elected. Huh, go figure.
Stupid media morons.
I feel vindicated. Now if only the mainstream media would look into Bill Clinton’s lies during the 1990s. Perhaps we can count on future historians to do so. Clinton got away with things that Richard Nixon never even dreamed of doing.
For the past month 4 months or so, Hillary has been touting her harrowing trip to Bosnia as proof that she’s presidential material. From the Associated Press on March 8th.
BOSNIA: “If the place was too small, too dangerous or too poor, send Hillary.”
Clinton cites her March 1996 trip to Bosnia as an example of traveling into a war zone to promote U.S. policy, recalling a harrowing “corkscrew” landing during which she and her daughter, Chelsea, were ordered into the armored front of the plane to protect them against possible ground fire. She jokes that one mantra around the Clinton White House, was that “if the place was too small, too dangerous or too poor, send Hillary.”
Clinton brought up the trip to counter Obama’s suggestion that her experiences as first lady amounted to having tea at an ambassador’s house.
“I don’t remember anyone offering me tea,” Clinton said of the Bosnia visit.
Whoops. Some news organizations have begun questioning Hillary’s claims, and today CBS dealt the final blow. One of their sources was a CBS reporter who travelled to Bosnia with Hillary. Watch this:
So why did it take over a month over 4 months to fact-check such an outrageous claim? Here are my educated guesses.
-
This story has been circulating on the blogs and YouTube for over a month. Bloggers forced the mainstream media to print the truth.
-
The mainstream media does not know how to fact-check Democrats. They usually just print whatever talking points the Democrat Party puts out. One only has to look at the mud slung at President Bush over the past 8 years and the fawning of the press over the Clinton years.
-
The mainstream media still thinks that Hillary has a chance to win, especially since Obama has yet to adequately explain why he attended — and is still a member of — a racist church with a racist nutjob for a pastor. Anything that damages Hillary might give the Republicans some ammunition should she win the nomination.
-
If Hillary lied about her trip to Bosnia, what else has she lied about? Whitewater? Cattle futures? The missing Rose Law Firm billing records? Maybe even the death of Vince Foster? No, I don’t believe for a moment that Bill or Hillary had Foster killed. But there’s no doubt that a huge coverup was involved.
We’ll see how this plays out over the next few days. A month ago, I was resigned to having President Barack Obama for 4 years. Now I’m not so sure. I only wish that the Stupid Party had picked a better candidate than McCain.
UPDATE: 3/26/2008 — The pilot who flew Hillary to Bosnia said that he made no evasive manuevers in landing.
“Yeah, so, no evasive maneuver. I gotta tell ya, I will give it to the commander of Air Base Eagle. He had that place - you know, not only were there no bullets flying around, there wasn’t a bumblebee flying around.”
“If there had been sniper fire around, number one, we wouldn’t have landed.”
“There was no sniper fire…”
I think everyone should do their research rather than vote by everything they hear on the news.
You need to watch Hillary: The Movie http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SqQ6PYcKseM
Very good movie. Everyone should see this. Thanks for the tip, Bill.
Bill Richardson,,,
Is 1 delegate,,, after his interview,,, then bill oberman told him what clinton said word for word ,,, Richard tried to change what bill clinton said,, and tried to make it more about race,, Then later on the show ,, Richardson,,, He voting for Barack Obama because,,,it what the voter want,,,, That is so funny,,,for Richardson to say that,, Since Hilary clinton won his state of new mexico,, the people have spoken,,, and he saying someithing completely different,, You can bet assure,,, he not going to get re-elected,, Hope he made that back door dealing with Obama,, ,,,
It also appears that Clinton’s former pastor they had while in the White House agrees with pastor Wright. We need to hear the whole sermon, not just sound bites he said.
These people just polarize his good work.
He said Rev wright was and outstanding leader, and he had heard him speak numerous times. Nothing wrong with his sermons.
Bill clinton has even given a speech to the congregation welcoming gays and lesbians.
“It also appears that Clinton’s former pastor they had while in the White House agrees with pastor Wright.”
Well, isn’t that special.
“We need to hear the whole sermon, not just sound bites he said.”
I would love to hear a bunch of his sermons. Nobody cut Fallwell any slack when he said something that was politically incorrect. Besides, the sound bites we’ve heard are far, far worse than anything Pat Robertson or Jerry Fallwell has ever said.
How do you explain the church’s website (which they’ve quickly changed since this has become an issue) that preached a black Christianity? What would you say to a church that preached white Christianity?
“These people just polarize his good work.”
What good work? His racism? His claim that the CIA invented AIDS to kill blacks? His anti-Jewish remarks?
Face it. Reverend Wright is a loser. And Obama is a loser for attending that church for 20 years.
Thanks,
