Now Hillary says she was "told" about the Bosnian snipers

cnn.com — A full CNN article about Hillary's "misspoken" statements on Bosnia. "I say a lot of things -- millions of words a day -- so if I misspoke, that was just a misstatement," she said. ... Clinton has mentioned the sniper fire at least twice earlier in the campaign, including in December in Dubuque, Iowa, before the caucuses in that state.

    • RepubOperative, on 03/26/2008, -25/+5Do you know what the best place is to reach Obama voters? Here on Digg in a Clinton story.

      Obama then and now

      Old Barack:

      .......... Don’t tell me words don’t matter.

      .......... ‘I have a dream.’ Just words?

      ..........‘We hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal.’ Just words?

      ..........‘We have nothing to fear but fear itself.’ Just words? Just speeches?

      New Barack:

      ..........'God damn America.' Just words.

      ..........'US government created Aids, supplied drugs to our community.' Just words.

      ..........'US of KKKA.' Just words.

      ..........'What we are doing is the same thing al-Qaeda is doing.' Just words.

      ..........'Until now, I was never proud of my country.' Just words from my wife.

      Why did Baracka Obama "a typical black person" give $22,500 two years ago to Africanzied Trinty United Church run by a man of the past, the black supremacist, conspiracy theorist and racist Jeremiah Wright who infects the younger generation with racial preduice and animus and then say he came unto us to transcend racsim? Sounds like Baracka Obama got caught in another big lie. Maybe you haven't heard everything that Wright said:

        Another person who see through the Obama Smoke and Mirros and is embraced into the light of true knowledge. Like it or not folks Obama is the same Politica just in a diffeent skin color and a newer modern suit

        It took Obama 20 years (TWENTY YEARS) to finally figure out that his beliefs and those beliefs of his spiritual leaders are not the same? WOW - I only can dream that in 2029 Obama will finally figure out what he can do to help American today. I can't wait that long.

        Obama has some really powerful loyal supporters and friends in the PLO, HAMAS, HEZBOLA and I can now only assume the IRAN. This guy has been getting help from all know Terrorist and terrorist supporters - Men, Women and children whose mission in life is to rid the Earth of anything and all that is not included in Shari’ah - Islamic Law. That means that these people fly planes into buildings, Continually send rockets into other country's, blow up school buses, cafes, malls, Send gunmen into seminary's to kill religious scholars, snipe at women and children at play, or my favorite and the one that effected my life because he was MY FRIEND - Blow up trains in London.. to name a few.

        This guy is really bad news as well as being a really bad guy.

        And the list can go on and on but it is like talking to children.

        Just say NO to O in 08
      • mydigga, on 03/26/2008, -0/+1These are not Obama's words which is a key difference. Is he now responsible everything everybody says?

        P.S.

    • pontiac, on 03/26/2008, -0/+3Did anyone else cringe at the "f I misspoke, that was just a misstatement," bit? Does that sound to anyone else like something that would come out of Bush's mouth? I swear if I have to put up with another 4 years of backtracking and "misstatements" I'm just going to chuck my tv, burn my radio and punch anyone who mentions politics to me.
  • diggeradoo, on 03/26/2008, -5/+211Hillary claims she says "millions of words a day" and she is exagerrating again!

    According to Guineess, the World's fastest-talking man is England's Steve Woodmore, who clocked 637 words per minute. Assuming non-stop talking for 24 hours straight, that would be 917,280 words in a day. Far less than "millions of words a day".

    Maybe Hillary should call Guinness?
    • Wailord, on 03/26/2008, -34/+4Uh, I'm pretty sure it was supposed to be an exaggeration to begin with.
      • diggeradoo, on 03/26/2008, -2/+25Uh, ya think? I'm pretty sure I was using sarcasm to begin with.
    • theNazz, on 03/26/2008, -2/+107I bet Hillary can beat 1 million words a day if you count all of her double-talk...
    • DeskFlyer, on 03/26/2008, -4/+10She needs to call Micro Machines.

    • dullurd, on 03/26/2008, -0/+3there's one question no reporters are asking and it's pissing me off. if it was really such a dangerous endeavor, why the ***** did she bring Chelsea? Her assertion that there's a White House saying that "if it's too dangerous, send the First Lady" is ridiculous enough, but on top of that she brought her kid. this woman is so full of *****, it's infuriating that 40-50% of democrats don't see this or care.
      • Clumber, on 03/26/2008, -0/+1Wait... RLY?? I need to crawl back into my cave where I ignored the elections crap... really? She's been saying that the WH sends the 1st Lady if it is deemed too dangerous?

      • PhilLesh69, on 03/28/2008, -1/+1She's got the most experience at answering the phone at 2 AM. After all, that was when Bill would call from the county jail.
    • dcollins, on 03/26/2008, -1/+2Yea I thought we all agreed we were voting for McCain.
  • tigerduck, on 03/26/2008, -2/+12Why not repeat her advisers stories after all that's how she voted for the Iraq war - she believed her staff!
  • uncutnyc, on 03/26/2008, -2/+87Watch the video and you'll see that she actually believes this really happened. Her voice is full of conviction, her description of the "events" is detailed and compelling. But of course it didn't happen. Which means that she's delusional. She's not lying, she's crazy.
    • ZandorMonkeyBoy, on 03/26/2008, -2/+37She's a pathological liar just like her husband. She could tell the same story to a lie detector and it wouldn't even wiggle. They believe their own crap.
      • allengeer, on 03/26/2008, -0/+3it would wiggle.. shudder in fact.. just because it had to..... shudder..... touch her.
    • actorboy, on 03/26/2008, -1/+18"She's not lying, she's crazy."

      • PhilLesh69, on 03/28/2008, -1/+1Yeah, selling out our manufacturing base to China, along with restricted nuclear and military technology.

        That makes him a really great president. Well, at least if you are a member of the Council On Foreign Relations and long for Globalization at the expense of American sovereignty.
  • alucinor, on 03/26/2008, -2/+27Yeah well I speak a million billion words a day! That means hundreds of thousands of lies I can't help just misspeaking their way right out of my mouth!

    You mean whatever is left of it.
    • wendelgee2, on 03/26/2008, -2/+14And Bush isn't really worried about his approval rating. And Cheney when asked about the 67% of Americans who do not support the war said "so." Because they honestly believe that things are only true if they say they're true.

      And Obama was very concerned that this Wright issue would hurt him. He was quoted as saying so.
      That's what we call honesty, folks. Honesty even when denying reality is politically advantageous.
      • Zaeboes, on 03/26/2008, -5/+1What is this 67% approval rating? How did they find out? Did they ask you for your opinion? They never asked me. Please respond if you were polled for these approval ratings.

  • Carv, on 03/26/2008, -3/+19Since when did "misspoke" mean "lied"? Since when did "covered our heads from sniper fire and ran" mean "were told about sniper fire"?
    • kev92486, on 03/26/2008, -0/+6I'm pretty sure I'd remember an event quite well if it involved me having to run for my life or risk a bullet from a sniper. The same goes for any other life or death situation. Wouldn't you?

    • DephexTwin, on 03/26/2008, -0/+15Calling her that is an insult to Huckabee's name and reputation, quite honestly.
  • AriaStar, on 03/26/2008, -3/+9I think I figured out her game plan. I was in the kitchen (femi-nazi she is, she'd probably say a man should have made my cheese toast for me) thinking you can't help but almost admire her refusal to quit, despite looking like a major dumb-ass, and then thought that maybe this is what she wants, people to admire her drive.

    Still, I can't wait until she loses and has to eat crow. I'll be glad to cook it for her.
  • rhabd0mancer, on 03/26/2008, -2/+43"-- so if I misspoke, that was just a misstatement," she said.

    Hillary Clinton, master of the conditional non-apology.
    • uptown, on 03/26/2008, -2/+7Just like when she psedo-apoligized for Bill Clinton's South Carolina racist statements.

      Hasn't this woman ever been in a relationship? If you try that half-assed "if I upset you, I'm sorry" *****, it doesn't fly.
      • Rioracer916, on 03/26/2008, -0/+1Yeah, exactly. Which makes me think her marriage with bill was purely political. I mean why would any self-respecting woman stay with a man who publically embarrassed her like that?

        For all intents and purposes the Clintons have been separated since leaving office. They are nothing more than a business deal dressed up in the ornate fabric of marriage.

  • network, on 03/26/2008, -10/+1Who cares..once again with the hair splitting. It's not like she was talking her self up as a valiant woman who dodged sniper fire to save herself and her surrounding associates. If I was told there was even the possibility of sniper fire while landing, I would have moved and reacted as if it were true regardless. If you're going to try to smear someone, do it with Intel that counts, and not frivolous bs. I'm a registered Republican BTW, for those who will jump to the conclusion that I'm somehow trying to protect Hillary. This is ridiculous. Buried for irrelevance.
    • kev92486, on 03/26/2008, -0/+6That's the point of this. Most people who are aware of the possibility of sniper fire would likely attempt to take some form of cover. Watch the video of her and you'll see that she, along with the rest of the 'welcoming party' act as if there's nothing to worry about whatsoever. She lied.

  • dollar0dot02, on 03/26/2008, -2/+8I am a Bosnian American and was there during the whole war, which ended in November 1996 - before H. Clinton's visit.

    When Mrs Clinton came to Bosnia (1996) she landed in Tuzla. The airport at that time was under control of SFOR (Stabilization Forces) and to the best of my knowledge directly under control of USA troops.

    Some of the news mentioned that Mrs Clinton was accompanied with Sheryl Crow.

    FYI

    Sheryl Crow did come to Bosnia during the war. She landed at the Sarajevo airport, whict was most likely under Serbian sniper fire and had to run to the UN armored vehicle. Her concert was a moral booster for the Sarajevan under the siege.

    Just to let you know whose story Hillary is talking.

  • winnestow, on 03/26/2008, -3/+2Attention Digg leftists: Obama getting a pass on his pastor's racism is not representative of the general public's newest opinion polls. Just the top digg posters:
    "When folks think of Digg, they're often misled into believing that the content seen on the homepage is representative of what a wide base of Internet users think is news-worthy and important. The numbers tell a different story - that of all stories that make it to the front page of Digg, more than 20% come from a select group of 20 users."
    FACT: Barack HUSSEIN Obama is unelectable because of his leftist positions and failure to distance himself from his racist mentor.
