On Fire.

By Andrew Belonsky March 25, 2008 at 9:03am

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton claimed last week that she had to dodge sniper fire during an official trip to Bosnia. That didn’t happen. She claims she “misspoke,” but others call it “lying”. [AFP]

    If Hillary “misspoke” (ooh, Miss Spoke… a new drag name!) was there another instance where she had to dodge sniper fire? Or was it a total fabrication?

    @ Lemay – Total fabrication! The lie of a true psychopath. Wonder what will happen to her in the Peter Paul trial in April (Donation fraud in 2000)!

    Hmm… this reminds me of how Obama lies about the “hard work” he does on bills in the Senate and basically takes all the credit for the work of others.

    She truly is evil. Daemonesque. How on earth is she even being considered for the presidency?

    Consider:

    “Barack Obama, caught up in the fervor of a campaign speech Tuesday, drastically overstated the Kansas tornadoes death toll, saying 10,000 had died. “In case you missed it, this week, there was a tragedy in Kansas. Ten thousand people died—an entire town destroyed,” the Democratic presidential candidate said in a speech to 500 people packed into a sweltering Richmond art studio for a fundraiser. The death toll was 12.” – Associated Press, May 8, 2007

    “He has boasted of it on the campaign trail, telling a crowd in Iowa in December that it was “the only nuclear legislation that I’ve passed.” “I just did that last year,” he said, to murmurs of approval. But, contrary to Mr. Obama’s comments in Iowa, it ultimately died amid parliamentary wrangling in the full Senate.” – http://www.nytimes.com/2008/02/03/us/politics/03exelon.html

    “At the [January 2008] debate, Obama stated: “I never said that we should try to go ahead and get single-payer.” At an AFL-CIO conference in June 2003 while campaigning for the Senate [he said], “I happen to be a proponent of single-payer universal healthcare coverage. That’s what I’d like to see.”- http://thehill.com/leading-the-news/clinton-hopes-to-paint-obama-as-healthcare-flip-flopper-2008-01-22.html

    “But for your audience, your readership, the one thing that I do want to make sure is [that they understand that is regarding…] the human rights ordinance in Illinois that is the equivalent of what we’ve been attempting to do at the federal level and that I was a chief cosponsor of and then passed….” -http://www.advocate.com/news_detail_ektid50021.asp
    Not only was Obama not a cosponsor of any kind of SB3186, he was no longer even in the Illinois Senate when it was voted on.
    – http://www.ilga.gov/legislation/BillStatus.asp?DocNum=3186&GAID=3&DocTypeID=SB&LegId=11145&SessionID=3&GA=93

    “Obama said that Sen. Jay Rockefeller, a fellow Democrat from neighboring West Virginia, had read the intelligence estimate as a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee and after a brief pause said the then-chairman had voted against the war resolution. However, Rockefeller was not the chair at the time and voted in favor of the war authorization.” – Fox News, 3/3/08

    “[Obama said] in a memoir published in 1995 that his grandfather was a Muslim and that [Barack] means “blessed” in Arabic. … On the campaign trail during his 2004 Senate race, Obama told reporters that “Barack” was Swahili for “blessed by God.” – http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0207/2694.html

    “during a meeting with reporters at his Illinois campaign headquarters after his election to the U.S. Senate he ridiculed as “a silly question” whether he would run for president or vice president before his term ends in 2011. “I’ve never worked in Washington,” he said. “I can unequivocally say I will not be running for national office in four years, and my entire focus is making sure that I’m the best possible senator on behalf of the people of Illinois.” – http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0207/2694.html

    Tim Russert: “So you will not run for president or vice president in 2008?”
    Obama: “I will not.” – Meet the Press, Jan. 22, 2006

    “In July of 2004, the day after his speech at the Democratic convention catapulted him into the national spotlight, Barack Obama told a group of reporters in Boston that the United States had an “absolute obligation” to remain in Iraq long enough to make it a success.” – Boston Globe

    “consider Obama’s stirring tale for the Selma audience about how he had been conceived by his parents, Barack Obama Sr. and Ann Dunham, because they had been inspired by the fervor following the “Bloody Sunday” voting rights demonstration that was commemorated March 4. “There was something stirring across the country because of what happened in Selma, Ala.,” he said, “because some folks are willing to march across a bridge. So they got together and Barack Obama Jr. was born. So don’t tell me I don’t have a claim on Selma, Ala. Don’t tell me I’m not coming home to Selma, Ala.” Obama was born in 1961, and the Selma march occurred four years later, in 1965. The New York Times reported that when the senator was asked about the discrepancy later that day, he clarified: “I meant the whole civil rights movement.” – http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0307/3304.html

    “the Chicago Tribune reported that an extensive search found no basis for an episode Obama recounts about a picture he ran across in Life magazine of a “black man who had tried to peel off his skin” in a failed effort to use chemicals to lighten it. Obama writes that “seeing that article was violent for me, an ambush attack.” The Tribune reported: “Yet no such Life issue exists, according to historians at the magazine. No such photos, no such article. When asked about the discrepancy, Obama said in a recent interview, ‘It might have been an Ebony or it might have been … who knows what it was?’ (At the request of the Tribune, archivists at Ebony searched their catalogue of past articles, none of which matched what Obama recalled.)” – http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0307/3304.html

    “I know that I haven’t spent a lot of time learning the ways of Washington,” Obama said as he launched his campaign last month, “but I’ve been there long enough to know that the ways of Washington must change.” That carries a distinct echo of a line in Edwards’ announcement speech in 2003: “I haven’t spent most of my life in politics, which most of you know, but I’ve spent enough time in Washington to know how much we need to change Washington.” – http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0307/3304.html

    Obama has often said he is “a constitutional law professor.” He is actually no more than a “Senior Lecturer (on leave of absence)” at the University of Chicago Law School. Think of a nurse claiming to be a doctor and you can appreciate the irritation of actual professors with his equivocation.

    etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc.

    Obama is likely to get the nomination but it will be after traveling a decades-long path of lies, exaggerations, and misstatements he personally constructed every bit as bad as anything Sen. Clinton has been accused of.
