5. oh god

that's funny. :rofl:

[anonymeme]

80. I Agree The Video's Funny, Enrique, And I'm a Hillary Supporter, Too. *DOH*

I found the video late yesterday or early today on the college humor website and couldn't find a copy on YouTube to post or I would have posted it myself.

Because some of us understand the condition of being human and can laugh at ourselves and our own slightly-less-than-sacred sacred cows.

Now, I can only make guesses as to why she remembered something like that with such vivid detail if it didn't happen...

Perhaps it was some other trip, maybe the fear was so great that she dreamed it... once it came out of her mouth and consciousness nothing she could say would be able to fix the error of it. I just believe that the vividness of the memory had to have come from somewhere.

But you have to know that it takes guts just going to places like that. Period.

It Must Have Been terrifying and took a lot of guts for anybody to go there.

Hillary had her 16-year-old daughter with her.

I feel certain at 16 Chelsea must have insisted on going and being there with her mother, or her mother wouldn't have taken her on the trip.

It could have been a nightmare that seemed so real, after the fear of being there was over consciously, but floated back up unconsciously.

Nobody who knows how easily things can be looked up and checked says something like that unless it happened or for some reason they believe that it happened.

And, they all like, some lie about bigger things, some lie about littler things...

Wouldn't it be a wonderful world if nobody ever told a lie ever, nor felt that they had to, nor had to explain brain-farts?

I had a brain-fart one time over Abscam and got the teams mixed up.

Now I'm pretty bright -- or at least I used to be -- and I keep up with government, politics and current events, but in the moment I posted my screwed-up version, maybe in some corner of my mind I wanted the Repugs to be the weak, corrupt bad-guys that they always were that's what my brain played back to me.

It only took a few minutes and I recognized the error, and posted an apology with the correct info.

I always apologize and correct the mistake when these things happen -- and it's rare, but they do happen -- but I remember the errors painfully and believe that I will never make those particular errors again.

Anyway, I feel very bad for Hillary, but the video -- which shows that this was no playground she was in -- even without the hyperbolic special effects, is actually very freakin' funny! *L*

[frogcycle]

85. thanks for the voice of reason

with all the hoorah over this and other gaffes it seems it is easy to lose sight of the fact that people are human. You analyze it well, I think. I really feel sorry for her, because I think if it was not already over, this would do it, like the Dukakis tank photo. And that, ultimately, is unfair. It has nothing whatsoever to do with her qualifications or lack thereof, nor her commitment vs ambition. This is our political circus, wherein good people like Ed Muskie and Howard Dean watch their goal to lead the greatest nation in the world and accomplish great things go up in a puff of smoke. In this case, photoshopped animated puffs.

[Zhade]

86. She lied. This is undeniable.

NT!

[BearSquirrel2]

87. Maybe she was making shit up ...

Or maybe she's delusional and actually believes it. How many other trips did she take with Sinbad?

[stlsaxman]

6. I love her "marksmanship"! that gal can work a glock!

she was gettin' all "Tony Soprano" on that terrist's ass...

13. Funny!!

She really made a fool out of herself!!

[quantass]

112. lol

[singilarpoint]

11. Lost

I think what is getting lost in this story is that this is an area where her husband had committed troops.
Now contrast the results of this military event with the current military adventures of our fine Dear Leader...I challenge anyone to name one politician that has ever been 100% truthful about everything, or a politician that has never told a fish story. I may not be the biggest Hillary supporter in the world, but I am at least a little fair.

[TomBall Democrat]

12. The larger point here is what happens in November

First to admit I'm truly disenchanted with the senator from NY.

But, what if, by some miracle of mathematics and politics, she's the candidate in November?

The real bullets will be the ones WE'VE freely given to the G.O.P.

Vice versa, for the Clinton campaign. They've provided an arsenal to the G.O.P. on Obama.

The time for unity is now.

So, trying to practice "being the change I want to see", I will stop taking the bait and adding to the fire.

My choice for Obama was made a year ago, and nothing I've seen will change my mind. Likely the same is true for those who support Clinton. We are not each other's enemies. We're fighting over first and second string places; running the risk of losing the end game.

No hundred years war for me. The true enemy is John McCain. He's a tough guy, but not nearly tough enough - if we unite.

:dem:

[IndependentDem]

15. three cheers for TomBall

[FreeStateofWinston]

18. Well Said !!!

:thumbsup: :patriot:

[humbled_opinion]

31. The Problem is that Iraq is no longer

The MSM favorite Issue... They are no enamoured by Race... Getting Iraq front and center is the challenge... Simply saying you are bringing the troops home and will do it all better then Bush isn't going to be good enough for either Obama or Hillary.

[singilarpoint]

42. I see

Perhaps I should have stated I am for Obama too..I think Clinton needs to drop out not only to save her long term political career, but for the party, and for the country. Everyday she stays in is a notch in the belt for McCain, which is dangerous to the party and the country. I would not want McCain to be president for one day...I just think that if we are going to watch mocking videos, perhaps they should mock the REAL enemy John McCain. The thought of McCain as being president for even one day scares me to no end, by the end of his first, or god forbid second term, our country, and military would be nothing more more than a stinkin heap of garbage. I like the saying: If you liked Bush, your gonna love McCain.........

[stlsaxman]

19. I was at Tuzla Base, too.... and you're right- President Clinton committing troops...

WAS the right thing to do. Sen Clinton should have taken that tactic in her speeches as opposed to getting all "John Lovitz" with her "sniper fire.... yeah- THAT's the ticket..."

The most dangerous thing we faced in Bosnia was the possibility of stepping on land mines. I played sax in a blues band that did a tour of all the bases around and including Sarajevo. We did it in support of the troops. I personally supported ALL the peacekeepers- all 19 NATO nations were there.

We were issued flack jackets and helmets, sure, but were not instructed to wear them.

[psychmommy]

14. that is priceless.

i had to go back and watch it again. i love the guys head being blown off part. that video has just made my day.

[stratomagi]

16. That was my favorite part too.

But then again I play too much resident evil.

Washington Post - March 24, 2008

Both Obama And Clinton Embellish Their Roles

By Shailagh Murray and Jonathan Weisman

After weeks of arduous negotiations, on April 6, 2006, a bipartisan group of senators burst out of the "President's Room," just off the Senate chamber, with a deal on new immigration policy.

As the half-dozen senators -- including John McCain (R-Ariz.) and Edward M. Kennedy (D-Mass.) -- headed to announce their plan, they met Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.), who made a request common when Capitol Hill news conferences are in the offing: "Hey, guys, can I come along?" And when Obama went before the microphones, he was generous with his list of senators to congratulate -- a list that included himself.

"I want to cite Lindsey Graham, Sam Brownback, Mel Martinez, Ken Salazar, myself, Dick Durbin, Joe Lieberman . . . who've actually had to wake up early to try to hammer this stuff out," he said.

To Senate staff members, who had been arriving for 7 a.m. negotiating sessions for weeks, it was a galling moment. Those morning sessions had attracted just three to four senators a side, Sen. Arlen Specter (R-Pa.) recalled, each deeply involved in the issue. Obama was not one of them.

[victordrazen]

25. I agree!

it is doing no good whatsoever going after Hillary at this point. The only person it benefits is McCain. Maybe that's the point?

[The Doctor.]

76. How does it benefit McCain?

Seriously, it's funny. It'd be funny no matter who it was about if they told the same lie.

[Oilwellian]

22. Hysterically funny

5 stars.

[victordrazen]

23. Why the hatred for Hillary?

I kind of like her and I don't get it. Okay, so she said something wrong, but I rarely see ANYTHING here about any of the stuff the evil McCain says. While the democrats are turning against each other he is getting a free pass, all orchestrated by the military media.

[swag]

33. Why is she continually praising McCain over Obama?

[Chiyo-chichi]

44. That's why she lost me.

Now Bill is doing it, too.

My state has a primary that counts for something coming up. A candidate who makes statements which are tantamount to endorsing a Republican over his or her Democratic rival is not my kind of Democrat.

PS - this video is a hoot.

[TomBall Democrat]

47. If you have something to post about McCain's errors -

please feel free to bring it here.

I'd love to fight the G.O.P. - tired of infighting, am I.


Let's play a new game, shall we?

[mattclearing]

53. It's not hatred. She has made experience the cornerstone of her candidacy,

but her legislative record is actually shorter than Obama's. Her tendency to make herself out to be some White House player is ridiculous.

[Asgaya Dihi]

72. Kitchen sink

She made herself a target, when Hillary decided to throw the kitchen sink at Obama and to keep throwing it after she fell so far behind that she needs bigger wins in every remaining primary than shes had yet in any to even match him. Nobody did it to her. It was a clean election on both sides until that kitchen sink came out and you can't ask people being hit with one not to throw it back. Isn't fair to ask or to expect it and she was the one who decided this was the type of campaign we all had to deal with.

It's nearly impossible for her to gain the nomination, if she did it would be by such dirty tactics that she'd be seen as a swiftboater by enough dems that it would cost her the general election. When someone in that kind of a position keeps trying to take down the most probable nomination we have for the general election it's about time to try removing the threat.

Republicans fall in line."

79. Is this your first day?

[Thepricebreaker]

96. she fucking LIED... period end... McCain at least admits to his crazy crap...

[xioaping]

107. Laughing Stock Gaffe

She said something wrong. It is safe to say she was not telling the truth. It was not even close. I mean, had their been a bullet that went buzzing past OK. But she we hugging children. She blew it. Worse, she made a laughing stock out of herself. That is hard to get over. It was a giant gaffe

[wowimthere]

24. ROFLMAO this is what it's come to

She has made herself a parody of... herself.

[wowimthere]

26. The Problem with Hillary...

is that she doesn't get it. As smart as she is, you would think she could see her own actions and understand why things come back to bite her. She has become a product of the attributes she used to detest. How can that be? Remember that right wing conspiracy? She's actually joined in the fun. She is making her bed with the right wing lot because she believes this is the only thing that will make her viable. She forgot who she was supported by. The progressive movement. Anyone who can't see that she is barely a pebble's throw away from McCain doesn't understand her political mind. She has actually morphed into a Republican. No one really has to beat up on the Republican because many feel we have a republican in our own party that must be defeated. Her name is Hillary Clinton.

[truedelphi]

41. For over 6 mos. now, I have asked people on this board to

Let me know how Hillary is any different than say, Richard Nixon.

Only two people have ever answered me - and both of them PM'ed me facts related to what Richard Nixon wanted in terms of health care proposals that are similar to Hill's ideas.

She didn't get the IWR, she doesn't get that if she says one thing in Pittsburg and another in Philadelphia, she better be saying the same thing at both events. She needs to be consistent since both events might well be YouTubed.

Unfortunately she has a lot of control over the coming superdelegate and regular delegate situation. With Gove Rendell of PA holding back funds until SD's and D's say they support Hillary, she might carry a pluracy of the delegates there.

[selador]

63. oh for pete's sake

the problem is that she's a liar who will make up whatever she think (erroneously in this case) she needs to and CAN GET AWAY with to make her more appealing as a candidate

she's a frigging career politician and a liar. that has nothing to do with her "morphing into a republican". a heck of a lot of them are lying, craven jerks. and guess what? plenty of dems are too

politicians are politicians.

and hillary clinton was supported by the progressive movement? cmon. hillary clinton is about as progressive as peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. and btw,i like pb&j

hillary is just doing what she does.

lying and using whatever tactics she can to save her losing, embarassing campaign.

[Life Long Dem]

88. Yeah well.. Bush went after those terrorist

How much of a leap is it for Hillary to do the same and continue on in Bush's footsteps?

[selador]

102. i'm not sure i understand

your point.

[greiner3]

27. Hillary deserves a medal;

Best lie under fire!

She's so tough....isn't she????? Too bad she can't have all her mistruths edited in advance and have things go down the memory hole! :eyes:

[Speciesamused]

55. Stop it. Just stop. Who cares? People forget shit.

Especially at her age. Move on to the
more important issues. That is an order DU people.
Peace.

[selador]

64. amazing

this isn't about "forgetting" shit

it's about fabricating a blatant lie out of nowhere in order to make her seem more experienced.

and the best part is your age reference. wow. talk about "soft bigotry of low expectations"

amazing to me what some people (hint: hillary supporters in this case) will do to try to convince themselves and others contrary to a clear fact pattern

this thing didn't pass the smell test from the beginning, and i can't believe she would think people wouldn't question the secret service (not to mention her husband etc.) letting the first lady of the united states enter a zone where there was active sniper fire???

lol. i wouldn't accept that in a ludlum or clancy novel, let alone a statement of a presidential candidate.

she's a LIAR. get over it. deal with reality.

the lie of the century? no. but predictable as hell? yup

[Speciesamused]

109. ATTENTION> I am an Army Vet.

The real issues are the economy and jobs. Do you know how many soldiers
are coming home to no HOME? No JOB. You must be insulated or
you would see. She has no chance anyway. MOVE ON TO MORE IMPORTANT ISSUES.

[selador]

113. there are plenty of threads to deal with more important issues

and LESS important issues, too

but this thread is about this issue

hth

[Asgaya Dihi]

69. Are you sure you want to use that defense?

If she's suffering from age or deterioration related loss of memory or other mental capacity that doesn't exactly qualify her to have her finger on the button for the next four years, does it? I'd rather someone who isn't sure and knows it than someone who is sure, but wrong. Lots of scary implications in having a Commander in Chief who is making up their own history as they go and believing it.

Maybe it would be better to just leave it at she told a fib. Politicians do that you know. Trying to weasel her out of the lie is likely to just land her in worse.

[Speciesamused]

110. Kinda like the idiot that is charge now????

60. LMAO!!! WOW!

61. This video is great

I love the part where she shoots the hiding terrorist under the tank. It's all good. Love it.

62. HILARIOUS !

Now please show me one of how she singlehandedly brought peace in Ireland and I'll KNOW she's for real (NOT) !!

[TheDonkey]

65. Bosnia is very "snipery" during this time of year. Classic.

[Skarbrowe]

66. That is funny!! The video was great but Hillary blowing up her

own small chance of anything is what makes my brain hurt.

AYE, I remember it well ( insert a good Scot accent here ) we stormed the beaches as the snipery snipers sniped at us somewhat, somewhere in the distance...aye yes...

[Ian_rd]

67. OMG! Hillarious! Wait ... "Hillaryous?"

Oh yea. Hillaryous!

[Sarah Ibarruri]

70. That was funny. I did notice, however, that Hillary Clinton is a beautiful woman

That has nothing to do with Bosnia. Merely an observation from someone who hopes to reach her age looking half as good as she looks.

[Spiffarino]

90. She's a pretty hot sixty-year-old. I'll give you that.

She looks better than me, that's for damn sure.

73. kick

[mhoran]

74. Funny

Silly, but funny.

[Sander]

77. What was she thinking?

In these days of YouTube, hand-held video cams, and the Internet, no politician should feel safe today stating a bald-face lie.

Her excuse that she was tired doesn't make any sense because she made the same statements at least three different times in the past few months.

One can easily have a memory lapse about a certain date, or the people one met, or the clothes one wore. But one does not have a memory lapse about being under sniper fire. This is an event that would have burned in any normal individual's psyche forever. Being under fire is not like a movie or an episode of Law and Order. One remembers it in terrifying detail and would have nightmares about it for years to come. One would be fortunate not to suffer from PTSD because of the event.

So this was not a simple misstatement of facts. It was a bald-faced unmitigated LIE. It calls into question the very basis of her claim to have passed the test for CIC. We've had far to many lies in this administration. We don't need another administration so callous with the truth.

Anyone else find it disturbing how Sen. Clinton is laughing and smiling while yammering about being under fire?

104. The real sniper fire is coming from us

and the wounds are self-inflicted. What is so hilarious? Her remark was at most an overstatement of fact. You folks seem to have bought into the Clinton = evil meme. Think back to how delighted you were to see Bill out maneuver and out flank the republicans and their Contract On America. The Clintons are politicians, no doubt about it. And they are good ones. So is Obama. I am glad they are both Democrats.

Joe Wilson has been a darling of the left. What about what he says about this incident? Or, does it just work as a political tool to further demonize Clinton, just like the Rev. Wright deal is being used against Obama? I take no pleasure over this issue even though it works to my candidates advantage.

Look here if your are interested in more than just jeering and sneering.

One of these folks will be the nominee, probably Obama. Whichever is the nominee we need to stop the circular firing squad.

105. Thank you for a common-sense post. This place is getting disgusting.

I feel like I've stumbled onto a right-wing site... We have 2 Dem candidates, and we need to be prepared to support EITHER ONE.

[liberalcommontater]

106. Thanks

I too am concerned about the ammunition we are giving the Republicans, however, isn't telling Hillary it's time to go like telling Al Gore or John Kerry to just get over it and that the country needs the election decided? I think her tenacity can be seen as power hungry ambition or as fighting the good fight for as long as it takes. I believe the latter. That is the kind of person I want as president.

Win in November!
