Hot Air . . . "Bernie Sanders once again seemed to only make headlines for apologizing to Hillary Clinton and making her look good. For her part, the former Secretary of State trotted out some of her usual misleading talking points against a pair of flailing wannabes who aren’t ever going to get within smelling distance of the Democrat nomination.
"There were some golden oldies, such as Clinton’s long debunked claim of “30,000 deaths due to gun violence every year.” (We covered that one exhaustively when she first trotted it out at the President’s request.) And of course she had to explain away her cozy ties with Wall Street. But the one thing which seems to get Clinton in more trouble than anything else is whenever the subject of videos comes up. And I’m not talking about this disturbing image:
"The actual event I’m referring to had to do with Donald Trump. (Of course.) In one of the more jaw dropping moments of the night, Clinton stared down the audience and proclaimed as fact that ISIS was showing videos of Donald Trump to aspiring radicals in an effort to recruit them.
"Say what, now?
"Politico was running their “Wrongometer” again and they lit into that one.
. . . "To their credit, the media actually covered this outrageous claim at length."
As William Safire wrote in Essay; Blizzard of Lies:
"Neither narrative is provable. But it just goes to show that Clinton has upped the ante and will now blame Trump and Republicans directly for "playing into the hands" of terrorists."
Americans of all political persuasions are coming to the sad realization that our First Lady -- a woman of undoubted talents who was a role model for many in her generation -- is a congenital liar.Hillary's debate claim can't be verified . . . "It's at least equally logical to state that Paris and San Bernardino will inspire more terrorist attacks and recruit more jihadists than anything Donald Trump has said.
Drip by drip, like Whitewater torture, the case is being made that she is compelled to mislead, and to ensnare her subordinates and friends in a web of deceit.
"Neither narrative is provable. But it just goes to show that Clinton has upped the ante and will now blame Trump and Republicans directly for "playing into the hands" of terrorists."
