Reply #35: Obama sought to portray Clinton as just as "housewife" on foreign policy and as a "liar" like Gore [View All]

[McCamy Taylor]

Note that Gary Hart did not chastise him for breaking the so called "final rule"--give a talking point to the RNC to use against the then front runner in the fall campaign by belittling for foreign policy experience. And she did not lie when she said that she had been praised for her work in helping to bring peace to North Ireland and facilitate the release of refugees in the Balkans to prevent genocide. All she erred about was sniper fire. Obama lied during the ABC debate when he said that his campaign had not sought to propel the sniper story. ABC called him out on his lie. Memos released by the Obama camp prove that they sought to persuade the press to air the sniper story during the Wright controversy (to distract the press) and that they also sought to disseminate lies about Clinton's foreign policy experience which were easily debunked by a cursory search of the internet---something that sympathetic members of the press like KO could be counted upon not to do.

Here is my journal in which I document that Clinton did indeed have the foreign policy experience which she claimed---note that she never claimed that she was running for president of dodging through sniper fire. She claimed that she was able to negotiate peace and free hostages and was willing to enter a war zone to do it, all of which is true. Obama's camp turned the truth on its head and painted Clinton a liar just as Rove painted Gore a liar in 2000.
