2. no, he said he did not hear the comments in the video clips, not that he never heard anything...

You jumped from the specific to the general without cause.

4. I fear that your use of logic will have no impact on a Hill fan. nt

9. Nor will the Hill fan's link

to the RW blog have any impact on me.

6. How many times have you repeated this distortion? Five, ten?

3. Wow, he blames her for Gingrich's takeover. That's cold, baby. nt

5. I thought AC was one of her more vocal cheerleaders? That post

is one serious BURN. For really smart people, the Clintons always manage to tell the biggest "fairytales", and it always comes back to bite them in end, and unfortunately this doesn't help the party either.

10. The piece wasn't written by AC --

it was written by Carl Bernstein, just printed in AC's 360 blog.

7. Blog by Carl Bernstein with quotes from his bio of Hillary & commentary

including:

“Hillary values context; she does see the big picture. Hers, in fact, is not the mind of a conventional politician,” I wrote in A Woman In Charge. “But when it comes to herself, she sees with something less than candor and lucidity. She sees, like so many others, what she wants to see.”

The book concludes with this paragraph:

“As Hillary has continued to speak from the protective shell of her own making, and packaged herself for the widest possible consumption, she has misrepresented not just facts but often her essential self. Great politicians have always been marked by the consistency of their core beliefs, their strength of character in advocacy, and the self-knowledge that informs bold leadership. Almost always, Hillary has stood for good things. Yet there is a disconnect between her convictions and her words and actions. This is where Hillary disappoints. But the jury remains out. She still has time to prove her case, to effectuate those things that make her special, not fear them or camouflage them. We would all be the better for it, because what lies within may have the potential to change the world, if only a little.”

The jury — armed with definitive evidence like the CBS tape of Hillary Clinton’s Bosnian adventure — seems on the verge of returning a negative verdict on her candidacy.

8. This is definitely worth taking the time to read. Fascinating view into Hillary's propensity to lie

[Life Long Dem]

11. We already returned with a negitive verdict.

Sorry but MSM is downplaying her lies. Why are they pushing more of the same lying we have seen for the last two terms? It's like they are pushing for another Iraq war. Please don't fall for this.
