Hillary’s Problem with the Truth

To the dismay of some Hillary Clinton supporters, Americans have noted a disturbing trend in the candidate’s handling of the truth, as she and her advisers have exaggerated her accomplishments and sometimes distorted Barack Obama’s words.

The Washington Post reached a similar conclusion in awarding Sen. Clinton the maximum of “four Pinocchios” for telling a bald-faced lie in her claims about daring actions during her 1996 trip to war-torn Bosnia.

In a speech at George Washington University on March 17, Clinton elaborated further:

“I remember landing under sniper fire. There was supposed to be some kind of greeting ceremony at the [Tuzla] airport, but instead we just ran with our heads down to get into vehicles to get to our base.”

Does Hillary think the Democrats are so stupid as to believe that the Secret Service would have allowed that plane to land?

Did Bill say, “Hey, I can’t go on the trip because I might get shot. Take my wife, a guitar player and a comedian instead?”

In a fact-checking article on March 22, the Post’s Michael Dobbs concluded that:

“Clinton’s tale of landing at Tuzla airport ‘under sniper fire’ and then running for cover is simply not credible. Photographs and video of the arrival ceremony, combined with contemporaneous news reports, tell a very different story.”

Comedian Sinbad, who along with singer Sheryl Crow accompanied the then-First Lady, said the “scariest” part of the trip was deciding where to eat.The Clinton campaign stretches reality beyond what is normal for most politicians. They just flat lie! See, for instance, “Clinton’s Up-Is-Down World” and “Clinton’s Child-Health Hype.”
