Jerome Armstrong's Willful Stupidity | 50 comments (50 topical, editorial, 0 hidden)

Re: Good idea (none / 1)

and it's not the first time she's been called out on the lies...er, embellishment of the truth.

the Good Friday Peace Agreement is a blatant example of the kind of self-aggrandizing rhetoric that's been one of the hallmarks of her campaign:

Hillary Clinton had no direct role in bringing peace to Northern Ireland and is a "wee bit silly" for exaggerating the part she played, according to Lord Trimble of Lisnagarvey, the Nobel Peace Prize winner and former First Minister of the province.
"I don't know there was much she did apart from accompanying Bill [Clinton] going around," he said. Her recent statements about being deeply involved were merely "the sort of thing people put in their canvassing leaflets" during elections. "She visited when things were happening, saw what was going on, she can certainly say it was part of her experience. I don't want to rain on the thing for her but being a cheerleader for something is slightly different from being a principal player."

of course, it's been conspicuous in it's absence in the msm.

what's it going to take for people to recognize that this is all about her, and by association, bill's sense of entitlement?

to be honest, if obama perseveres and loses the GE, l'll lay the largest part of the blame on the clinton's doorstep; in large part because of their negative tactics and politics of destruction.

losers, quite simply mired in the past, with no vision for the future...losers, but l repeat myself.

the revolution will not be televised...Peace

Re: Good idea (none / 1)

One of the most rewarding, educational and just plain fun moments of my life was had when I was invited to go to Northern Ireland in 1998; my visit lasted 10 days.

It really opened my eyes as to how prejudice and bigotry can play out in all kinds of ways. Here, it's so obvious: Black/Brown/White. There, it's of course, Protestant or Catholic. As an American, you go there thinking--well, how can you tell?

But you can suss out differences when you are taught to do so. It's breathtaking...and frightening.

Back to the couple who lies with such ease, it's troubling, though, I wonder...does George Mitchell factor anywhere in the Good Friday Agreement? Just curious, since she's so far taken credit for things that Dodd did (FMLA), as well as work Kennedy and ((shudder)) Hatch did (SCHIP). I certainly remember that B. Clinton was thought of rather fondly by the people I met during my very short time there (we met w/ officials, both Protestant and Catholic, and of course, could not "take sides").

Hillary...not so much.

Presumptuous is the new uppity.
