After her campaign acknowledged Monday that she misspoke by suggesting she had come under sniper fire on a trip to Bosnia while first lady, Hillary Clinton answered further questions about the disputed trip at a press conference Tuesday afternoon. She admitted she had made a mistake, but was quick to point out, that she's only human.


MSNBC


Read about how the morning shows treated Hillary's Bosnia story.

The morning shows weren't the only one to address Hillary's account of her time in Bosnia. Sinbad (Sinbad!), who was on the same 1996 trip with Clinton, roundly dismissed her claims of sniper fire. Hillary's response to Sinbad: "He's a comedian, you know."

She has the same problem as Michael Jackson had in dealing with the public. She has been surrounded by so many yes people for so long that she thinks just because she says something that makes it so. She comes across as arrogant and snobbish.

Osama Bin Laden is a human. What's your point?

That's what Al Capone told the judge before he got sentence to jail.

Nice try, Hillbilly.

I think this Bosnia thing is over blown. Just read the link up here about all the whoppers that Obama has told. Trust me he's had alot more than her in a shorter period of time.

On the media's coverage, try this: google "Hillary lies" and "Hilary misspeaks." None of the main stream media is willing to say she lied. Why is that? Why can't the media be truthful???

I have news for Hillary.

To err is human. To continue with the same err is no longer human, it is the Devil incarnate.

The media is allowing Senator Clinton to get away with lying when it comes down to the sniper fire claim. And the fact that she is now saying that she made a rare error and "I remember it differently" is nothing other then another blatant lie. Having snipers shooting around you would be traumatic situation that a person would always remember and not get it confused with getting off a plane and hugging a child. The media should not allow her to get away with such outrages lies.

"He's a comedian"? That's the best she can do?

And doesn't that logic get invalidated when you remember that two COMEDIANS--Tina Fey and Amy Poheler--helped revitalize her campaign?

I am gravely concerned by the manner in which Senator Clinton is able to lie on at least these four different occasions where she embellished her Bosnia experience.

She lies in the very same manner that Cheney does; with gravitas. He line sounded eerily like 'last throes of the insurgency'.

Her response, 'So. I'm human...'

Very much like Cheney's recent response to Iraq, 'So....'

This person is a pathological liar.

I'm wondering if those who read body-language saw this one coming. For one thing, can you imagine laughing in remembering sniper fire? Anyone who has such a memory can tell you it's not a laughing matter, even years later.

How can any honest self-serving politician admit to lying? Especially one running for President of the United States? For that matter, can you recall ANY politician EVER admitting to telling a "lie?" Who expects the unvarnished truth from politicians? No, they've got to wrap the unseemly in something more palatable. Political-speak is all about wrapping the unseemly in something more palatable.

Senator Clinton has been treated by the press, as if she is not a human being. She has been
attacked non-stop by everyone in the press. Cottage industries have been created on attacking her,
so it is not surprising she would say, she is human and that may be a "revelation to some people."
How many of us could stand to be attacked non-stop the way this woman is? I suspect not many...
The hatred for her borders on the pathological, and I don't know why - she has spent her entire
adult life trying to help people - and she has. Is she ambitious - Yes. Last time I checked that was not
a crime. If she answers a direct question - she is attacked. SHE DID NOT BRING UP THE REV
issue. She was asked a question and attacked for answering it. I was very surprised by her remarks on Bosnia, - they don't make sense. The sad part it they reinforce all those negative feelings about her - that she will say or do anything to get elected. There isn't any way to spin the footage of her
arrival in Bosnia. But she needs to be given a break and cut some slack, she is a wonderful
mother, great daughter, caring friend.
In those words, "I'm human and that may come as a "revelation" to some people," tell us how
much she is hurting deep down. And she deserves some kindness and some humanity.

Her hens have come home to roost!!

You can't blame anyone but Hillary for her downfall. She would have been far better campaigning as a mute. Everytime she speaks, something new and wonderful comes out that is either all false or has many falsities (is that a word?) in her remarks.

You don't know why so many people are negative toward Hillary. Ever ask why you don't know? Maybe we know something you've been unwilling to consider. What if we're right?

I don't believe deception, manipulation, obfuscation, and fantasy make us human - these qualities reveal the shadow side of humanity. We don't need another leader who believes the ends justify the means. What type of person has to create a heroic fantasy in order to be deemed worthy? What type of person stays partnered to someone who obfuscates and deceives others knowingly? This speaks to character - and we don't need this type of character leading the country now or ever! She did at least admit her mistake, once there were multiple witnesses and video footage of what actually happened... otherwise, this manipulative fantasy would have lived on as the truth.

CNN, 3/25/96 Protected by sharpshooters, Hillary Rodham Clinton swooped into a military zone by Black Hawk helicopter Monday to deliver a personal "thank you, thank you, thank you" to U.S. troops. ... RIFLEMEN RUSHED TO THE BRUSH LINE as the helicopter landed AND SURROUNDED HER AS SHE walked into the post. Located in a "separation zone," the U.S. outpost nestles between two tree lines. Just months ago, one was Serbian territory, the other Bosnian. Security was tight - fighter jets accompanied her C-17 cargo plane to Tuzla

What Hillary really wanted to say:

"I am Human, and YOU ARE NOT!"

Clinton ='s lies & mistakes

How many mistakes and lies does Senator Clinton get?

How many successes has she had? Did she get health care passed during her years in the white house? How many lobbyist does she take money from?

If she can't remember if she was fired at, this was a HUGE event. She lied about it. How can we believe her when she's talking about other important events.

Lied about Bosnia
Lied about N. Ireland David Tremble was the one who brought peace to N. Ireland.
Lied about Masadonia
Lied to the people of Ohio about her stance on NAFTA

Clinton voted to put our solders in Iraq. Just another MISTAKE!!!
