Clinton honors King

Of course Hillary has the graciousness to honor Dr. MLK, as do all we Americans, white, black, hispanic, asian, jewish and all others. Also, please read:
On April 1, 2008 the New York Times printed an article on "Straight Shooting From Tuzla, by Lissa Muscatine, former chief speechwriter and Melanne Verveer, former chief of staff for Hillary Clinton when she was first lady. They accompanied Hillary on this trip to Tuzla in March 1996. Ms. Muscatine is now apparently an adviser to Hillary's presidential campaign. Please go to this article at:

In short, this article sheds light on Hillary's account of this Boznia event as appropriate recollection regarding preparation provided to her before the landing documented by the video footage. This video is but one dimension of the whole story replayed over and over again by the press/MSM. The truth is Hillary embellished the actual landing scene because, as it turns out, to paraphrase the article, at the particular time of their arrival at that moment in time, it was safer than anticipated. Prior to the landing of the C-17 cargo plane because they were flying into a danger zone, in fact a hostile environment. Before landing they were issued flak jackets and were given information that the tarmac ceremony might be canceled because of sniper fire from surrounding hillsides. Hillary and Chelsea got moved to the armored cockpit prior to the landing. Other security included strategic placement of armored vehicles around the tarmac. Also, Apache helicopters were hovering overhead. Please refer to the post identified above for the whole story and further information on Hillary's entire trip to Bosnia a hostile environment on a peacekeeping mission by the first lady. Once again, the MSM has falsely and maliciously accused Hillary of lying. In truth, if she is guilty of anything she is only guilty of misstating the details this event which occurred over 12 years ago. How is your memory for 12 years ago? I surmise they wouldn't be as close to accurate on this account either as Hillary's recollections was. My question is, why isn't the MSM telling the whole story on this event instead of playing what looks to be an incriminating story about our first lady? I think we all know the answer to that question. Go Hillary, the only candidate who can run against an opponent, the MSM, the RNC and now it looks like the DNC and still come out with over 50% of the American public vote in states that are not able to lower her base of support (the caucus). You decide for yourself the rest of America. I, for one, trust Hillary’s judgment and I know we can count on her to restore our standing at home and abroad!!! Thank you.

Surprising that Senator Obama did not get off the campaign trail to go to Memphis while Senators McCain and Clinton did.
Is he running scared that he will lose Indiana? Or is he trying to portray himself as "the post racial" candidate and steer away from Memphis?
There's a strategical reason behind it.

It's fitting that although civil rights leader MLK could not reach the "promise land". Biblically 40 years later the nation has another leader who has heard the urgent sound of the trumpet calling for the need for change. A leader who shares the over-arching visions of MLK but lacks the bondage of the past and is leading us into that "promise-land".

Amen

There is a very good chance Sen. Clinton is lying about her brush with history as a 14 year-old. My research shows the earliest that Dr. King gave his "Awake" speech was June, 1965 (Oberlin College) and the latest date just 5 days before his murder (National Cathedral).

In her autobiography, Living History, Sen. Clinton makes no mention of shaking Dr. King's hand and that would be a remarkable omission for someone so obsessed with her own "greatness".

I think there is a grotesque pandering lie in Sen. Clinton's recent claim that will make the Tuzla lie pale by comparison.
