Watch Hillary's emergency landing in a hail of sniper bullets in Bosnia in 1996

Oh please. Candidates say hundreds of things on the campaign trail every day. Who can remember perfectly something that happened 12 years ago, anyway?

So who really cares if she came under sniper fire or not? This 'lie' is about as significant as Gore's claim in the 2000 election to have traveled to a Texas disaster site with some unnamed official years earlier. Once again, the media is portraying the candidate that they think is "uncool" at the moment as the 'exaggerator' and once again distracting from the serious issues to another character attack.

I can't perfectly remember every field trip I took in 6th grade, but I most certainly do remember that I was not under gunfire during any of them.

Coming under fire in that way is not the same as coming under fire when you're walking down the street. You might not even notice it unless someone tells you, even if you have to take precautions like 'keeping your head down'.

Uh, because it's completely different from what actually happened?

Fine... if the fact that she came under sniper fire during a visit to Bosnia 12 years ago is your reason to support her, you can stop supporting her.

It's not an exaggeration, it's a LIE. She also said that after landing they had to cancel the arrival ceremony because of sniper fire and were just told to run to their vehicles. That clearly didn't happen.[/quote]

An incorrect (but not entirely incorrect) story about something that happened 12 years ago and which no one cares about, that slipped out in one speech after the countless times she's probably spoken about this event. So, the record is corrected.

If your being shot at down the street, thats something you cant really miss...unless your THAT oblivious to your surroundings.

But that's exactly my point. If you're in a large aircraft or part of a travel ling entourage and facing remote, long-range fire, it's very easy to miss, and you might not know about it unless someone tells you about it.

Or if you think she's an honest truthful person who'll restore honesty to government, something that we've been lacking a bit in the past 8 years...

'restore honesty to government' is just a glittering generality. To what historical period is this slogan supposed to refer to? The 1950s? The 1880s? The 1780s?

You act as if the political world was an ethical wonderful until Hillary Clinton came into it, and because of her misstatement about whether she was actually fired on or just had precautions taken to be fired on, on an obscure trip 12 years ago, that act singlehandedly corrupted the political world.

From that moment on, 'honesty' was gone from government and political campaigns. From Hillary and Bush's entry to politics, the wonderful ethical world of politics was corrupted. Exaggeration and deception became something commonplace, beneficial, even necessary in politics. All thanks to Bush, Hillary, and other politicians BRTD doesn't like.

Human nature itself was corrupted. People began to see how they could use manipulations and biases to influence others and get what they want. It was an act akin to Eve taking the apple from the Garden of Eden. I am with you now. I understand you. If we just defeat Hillary in the primary, and then elect whichever politicians BRTD likes, all will be good!

That analogy is not entirely correct.
