It's kind of funny hearing all the people criticize HuffPo for being an all- Obama sight. If you go over to Taylor Marsh's blog, the whole thing is 100% Obama bashing and Clinton apologist. At least on HuffPo alternative ideas are posted and dissent is welcome. Don't get me wrong, there are jerks on both sides, but at least there is more than one side tolerated.

In Hillary's defense, during the closing notes on the news clip, the news anchor says that she was the first First Lady to visit a "hostile war zone".

Hillary is on video in a recent speech describing her harrowing trip, the sniper fire, the cancellation of the welcoming ceremony, and running for cover with heads down. Why isn't it being run 24-7 on the networks with the video of her smiling and receiving flowers from the little gril AT THE WELCOMING CEREMONY? The Washington Post fact checker called rated this on four Pinnochios = a Whopper.

I spoke to my mother on the phone this morning. She considers herself to be fairly "news savy," reads the paper in the morning, watches the evening news every day. She's heard not one word of this story. She also didn't see Obama's "Perfect Union" speech. Not a word of it. But those clips that were looped over and over again? She's seen them a gazillion times ...

No, the thing is acting screwy. Why would they censor pro-clinton comments, but let your comment saying that they were censors through?

Are we to believe that the Clintons are so irresponsible that they would take their only child into a dangerous war zone first of all, and even if they were that crazy,would have her there without a protection vest?

Maybe that 3AM call was a wrong number. LOL

.....unlike Cheney and Bush, two chickenhawks that sent brave young warriors to their deaths for no reason. Many of the dead have found peace that the 40,000 severely wounded Americans will never know. How quickly we forget the millions of Iraqi lives destroyed by these chickenhawks, by death, dismemberment, torture and forced dislocation.

Thanks to Clinton, she helped these chicken hawks by voting to authorize this war. She passed the "Commander-in-chief" test in my book!

Yep take a look at that video. OH, before I forget: Is there something wrong with the comments system? My posts are truncated to a point where nothing of importance is said. Please check it out and REBOOT THE SERVER IF NECESSARY.
