How does one "misremember" sniper fire?
Ok, she made a mistake. So please, pray tell, where was she when she was running for cover to the car while under sniper fire???

9. I remember some details, not all
Edited on Tue Mar-25-08 07:35 PM by FlyingSquirrel
But I know I was in a bar under a pool table, windows shot out... remember where and approximate date... remember running to nearby phone booth and calling 911. Think I'd remember if there had actually been no shooting.

3. Yep, and if her daughter was with her, she'd remember that even better
It's one thing to be in danger yourself, but the fear she would have felt
for her daughter would have been burned into her brain forever.

12. Exactly what I was joking with MaltaMom about tonight...
I asked her if we were under sniper fire, would she run in front or behind me... :rofl:

As a mom, there is no way in hell I could "misremember" ANY situation that could possibly endanger my child.

4. Well when you lie about your "35 years of experience"
telling a little lie about sniper fire probably isn't that big of a stretch.

8. Being shot at by sniper fire or NOT ever being shot at by sniper fire
is not something you forget about.

I've never been shot at by sniper fire and there's no way in hell I would ever "mistakenly" think that I had been.

She didn't "mispeak." She's a liar.

15. Heck, I can recount for you moment by moment
the only time I was ever a victim of anything - I was mugged at knifepoint in Coney Island in 1982 when I was 13 years old. I still remember how I felt, who I was with, everything.

You'd think running for cover with your head down is something you would "remember"

Damn it, she lied. 'Nuff said. She should just freaking admit it.

21. Yup. The press should ask her
when she has ever had to dodge sniper fire and run into awaiting vehicles?

Probably has never happened to her, which means she's not confusing the Bosnia trip with some other trip and thus "mis-speaking". She's simply making this up out of whole cloth.

16. Here is the corner she is in.
You can remember something wrong but you can't remember an event wrong if it never happened.

23. Sometimes, if I've had too much to drink, when I'm falling asleep...
...I'll let out a fart and in that inebriated, half-awake state believe that I've just heard a bird flying into my patio door.

That's about as close as I can get. I think she's full of shit.

24. Not sniper fire, but a shotgun blast that just missed
It blew a hole in a door next to me. I won't forget it.

25. More importantly, how does misremembering sniper fire effect her claim of being qualified?
I mean really, what else will she misremember in moments of need. Oops, I misremembered promising better healthcare coverage for americans, I misremember saying that I am not bought and paid for by corporations and pharma's, . . . it could go on forever.

I'm perfectly happy to take her at her word, and judge her accordingly.

31. But she LIED! She said point blank something that was not true!
She said it repeatedly, making her a serial liar.

Lies....about sniper fire that wasn't there. How different is that from lying about WMD's in Iraq? A lie is a lie.

Can you imagine the damage to the Democratic Party, the damage to our country, and the damage to the world if we nominated someone who would make such lies to get us into future dumb wars?

Even if she didn't get us into another war (ok, that is being very generous, since I believe she undoubtedly would) I would not look forward to four or eight years of a Democratic President who I could not believe a word she says. The thought of this is very depressing.

it all very clearly: It was horrifying!

28. She was so sleep deprived she hallucinated the event - four times no less and
a couple of times using notes. Sure is powerful stuff she's smoking!

34. How can you characterize it as just a "mistake". It was so detailed and
she repeated it several times. It was clearly an out and out lie, though for the life of me I can't think she'd be so stupid, since there was obviously video of it.

36. I've had a gun pointed at me
Every chilling moment is etched in my brain forever. I can ONLY IMAGINE how much worse it would be if the thing was actually FIRING BULLETS in my direction. I know that this is an experience many Americans have had, in combat and on the streets, many of them multiple times, and I respect the hell out of those that can deal with it in any way, shape, or form. I have also known many that can't deal with it. Whatever, you cannot be a normal adult human being in this society and not understand how traumatic it is to be under fire. It is a moment in a person's life that changes them FOREVER.

The only plausible explanation other than outright lying for political points is that Clinton is so grandiose and childish and, in fact, delusional that she ACTUALLY BELIEVES she has gone through this experience. Either way, not Presidential material.

37. Was Hillary ever under fire
Edited on Tue Mar-25-08 08:33 PM by Raine
anywhere (?) that's what I would like to know. Cause if she wasn't than she is not confusing anything but outright LYING.

Edit: added one word
