Why Hillary Changed Her MLK Story Last Week On MTP
A Willing Suspension of Disbelief ^ | 01/20/2008 | Pjsbro

Posted on 01/20/2008 6:19:41 AM PST by pjsbro

I think I may have figured out why Hillary changed the date of her MLK story on “Meet the Press”.

She’s getting ready to throw Don Jones under the bus.

Jones was Hillary’s youth group minister who in 1961 or 1962 or 1963 or 1965 supposedly took the group to Chicago to hear King speak.

He’s the only one, other than Hillary, who has ever been quoted about the night.

Jones has given varying details, but the whopper is that he also introduced the group to King that night, and it appears in many of the biographies

You would think these politicians would know how easy it is to catch them lying or flip-flopping in regards to their policy positions, etc.

Hilary needs to get with the program. Bill too! This is what happens when you’re arrogant and think you will just waltz in easily to the White House. The internets is watching......

The MSM is on the line with this one too, cause they bought the story hook, line, & stinker.

LOL! Hillary’s memory is seared, seared with that night in 1970 when she went to hear MLK speak.

"The MSM is on the line with this one too, cause they bought the story hook, line, & stinker."

It seems like it would be easy for the MSM to simply check what year(s) MLK was giving cold January night speeches in Chicago. At what venues, etc. Whether Hillary was in school or what.

Sheehy supposedly had eight researchers work on her book.

Bernstein & Van Natta Jr. won Pulitzers.

Washingtonpost.com FactChecker makes up some phony excuse for Hillary...

The MSM and Hillary’s minions are working overtime on helping her. The basic thrust is that well OK, she probably went to it in April and it WAS cold, therefore her story is basically true. But Hillary only much later claimed that she actually MET MLK. Sheehy even describes how “warm” MLKs hands were. Was Sheehy there too, observing the hand shaking? She must have been because she reports it so.

Hillary never claimed she met King, only that she saw him speak in person. She used the phrase "saw him speak in person" on Meet the Press last Sunday.

”You know, Tim, I was 14 years old when I heard Dr. King speak in person..”,

and by person she means herself standing in front of a tv.

I don’t think 14 year-old Hillary was watching MLK on her TV.

It really sickens me all the MLK crap my kid’s school foists upon him. Even the markets are closed for this guy tomorrow. Meanwhile, Lincoln and Washington are melded into “President’s Day”. So MLK was more important to U.S. history than the nation’s savior and the man who freed the slaves and united the Republic? Just revolting.

Hillary went on to describe how hearing Dr. King transformed her into a proponent of progressive "social justice". Somehow Russert forgot to ask: if that was so, then why, 3 years later, was Hillary Clinton a GOLDWATER GIRL???
