The two H's - Are they right for each other?

At a 1997 race-relations forum for teenagers in Boston, Hillary
recalled
the "pain" of a "childhood encounter" that helped her to grasp the
injury
suffered by the victims of bigotry.
During a junior high school soccer game on a cold day, Hillary claimed
a
goalee told her, "I wish people like you would freeze." Stunned, the
future
first lady asked how she could feel that way when she did not even
know
her. "I don't have to know you, the goalee shot back, to know I hate
you."
Nice story, but it never happened. In 2004, the Athletic Director for
South
Main High School in Park Ridge and a 34-year veteran of the school
system
confirmed that there were no girls' soccer teams of any kind in
Hillary's
school district in the 1960s.
Another one...
Just this week, former Democratic Congressman William Lacy Clay, one
of the
original sponsors of the Family Leave Act, challenged her claim that
she
played a major role in passing the landmark bill. Hillary Clinton
"never
had anything to do with it," he said. Clay pointed out that the bill
had
been passed several times by the Democratic Congress before Bill and
Hillary ever arrived in Washington, but was subsequently vetoed twice
by
former President Bush.
And several more....
The longer the Democratic primary race for president lasts...the more
it
reveals .
Just when it appeared momentum in the form of a very angry Chicago
minister
was playing into the hands of Hillary Clinton...she shows that she is
the
master of the misstatement. During a St. Patrick's Day press
conference,
the former first lady described a harrowing experience where she was
airlifted into war-torn Bosnia and forced to dodge bullets on the
tarmac.
Video of that day revealed she might have embellished that claim. But
that
isn't new for Mrs. Clinton. In fact, she and her husband are the
masters of
embellishment-----or some might even say outright lies.
Remember it was Hillary who said her daughter Chelsea was jogging
around
the World Trade Center on 9-11----when she was actually in bed
watching the
news reports.
It was Hillary who told us she was named after Sir Edmund Hillary, the
first to climb Mt. Everest. He climbed it five years after she was
born.
She didn't know that her brother was being paid to secure pardons from
her
husband.
She was always a Yankees fan while growing up in Chicago.
She negotiated the release of refugees in Macedonia.even though they
were
released the day before she arrived there.
And.among other things..she didn't know that her White House staff
would
fire the travel office staff after she told them to do so.
All examples of the kind of double-talk that the Clintons engage in.
If
their lips are moving.they are likely telling you something that isn't
entirely the truth.
And what happened on the day that Senator Clinton was lambasted on her
incorrect recollection of Bosnia?
She told reporters she couldn't stay in a church headed by someone
like
Jeremiah Wright.
In other words----"don't ask me about mythical bullets when you can
ask
Obama about his real life preacher."

I'm no fan of Billary in the least, and I was amused to read the info
you posted, in Disk Morris's column. Plagiarism is so not cool.
