Sniper Slander: Military would never put first lady and daughter in danger

Obama didn't exploit this despite Hillary's desperate Iraq War/Obliterate/Assassinate theatrics.

1. He didn't have to.
His supporters planted that story EVERYWHERE for him.

2. Actually it was Sen. Clinton who planted this story everywhere.
Of course she's only an Obama supporter indirectly.

4. And it ended up being true.
Rovian politics, or not.

It was true. The source was proper. Only when it is untrue should umbrage be taken.

11. Huh?
What was true? That there WERE snipers?

Am I misreading, or are you really saying that her paranoid fantasy was REAL?

13. I think the poster meant it was true that she actually said it

7. Okay, I hadn't heard THAT one
It's Obama and his supporters fault that Clinton told the sniper fire lie four times with the national media recording her. It's Obama and his supporters fault that the national media took it upon themselves to review the video of her actual sniper-free trip to Bosnia. It's Obama and his supporters fault that Clinton continued to defend her lie (and her husband jumped in with the 'she was really tired' defense - Obama's fault too?).

She would have gotten away with her lies if not for Barack Obama and his meddling supporters.

10. The lie was exposed but Hillary's Slandering of the Military was not discussed.

If Obama were less of a gentleman he could've wiped the floor with her over that. Just a point I felt was overlooked.

I'm checking out before the Ferraro kooks go postal over the word gentleman. Enjoy.

15. Uh, no, she said it in public three or four times. So SHE planted the bullshit,
ridiculous story. But typically, her lies and mistakes are blamed on Obama. Of course. She's such a freaking victim, she can't even be responsible for the words that come out of her own mouth. That reminds me of someone else who doesn't deserve to be president**.

3. They were merely gunning for Sinbad.
I can't say that I blame them.

5. Hillary had the media all other this - as she should have
none of her opponents needed to do a thing. I have to admit I would be surprised if the millitary dropped them into an area where they had to dodge sniper fire - and the reception with the kids probably wouldn't happen in the midst of dodging sniper fire either.

14. Can you imagine what would have happened if Sen. Obama took all
the gaffes and downright lies Hillary has made/told during this campaign and beat her up with them endlessly at every campaign stop or rally?

He has been more than a gentleman and more than gracious when it comes to Hillary. He's a better person than I could ever be under the same circumstances.
