14. Wow there was at least one whopper of really dishonest spin in that
"...her vote in support of the mortally dangerous Kyle-Lieberman bill last year (which would, if passed in its original form, have declared Iran's main armed force, the Revolutionary Guard, to be a "global terrorist organization..."

But Clinton did not vote for the original form of that bill. She was among those in the Senate involved in the effort to amend the original version so that it WOULD NOT give Bush dangerous authorization. The version that passed significantly differed from the original version. Clinton said at the time of her vote that she planned to vote NO on the original version. Meanwhile her remaining primary opponent co-sponsored an earlier Senate effort to name Iran's Revolutionary Guard a global terrorist organization himself. But that point is spin by omission. The part about blaming Clinton for what the original version that she declined to vote for said is blatant distorting spin.
