Now It Was 1961. (Hillary Was 13)

A Willing Suspension of Disbelief ^ | 01/28/2008 | Pjsbro

The Clinton campaign website now has two different dates that Hillary saw Dr. King:

The campaign has scheduled an event with Don Jones who they now say "was Hillary's youth minister and first took Hillary to hear Dr. Martin Luther King speak in 1961". (Hillary would have been 13 at the time)

At the speech she gave in Selma, she said she saw him "on a cold January night" in 1963, when Mrs. Clinton was 15.

And two weeks ago she told Tim Russert "I was 14 years old when I heard Dr. King speak in person".

That would have been in 1962.

Hillary's youth minister and first took Hillary to hear Dr. Martin Luther King.

Are they now saying she went more than once?

[ClearCase_guy]

If necessary, she is prepared to say that she marched with MLK and George Romney and remembers waving to young Mitt on the sidelines.

So let's believe that Hillary saw Dr. King in 1961 or 1962 and was "inspired" to "pursue social justice", as she claims.

Why pray tell, did Hillary then support Barry Goldwater in 1964?

An MLK groupie?

[ncpatriot]

Dr King was a Republican

[DeLaine]

Does anyone remember back in ‘63?? How it was??

Today it would be nothing for a 13 year old to go somewhere like this, it would have been extremely, EXTREMELY unusual for a 13 yo to do this back then. I doubt it just for that reason, in addition to Clinton being a congenital liar.

[Dixie Yooper]

If Hillary thinks that she is as great of an embellishment artist as Al Gore, she is sadly mistaken.

[stylin19a]

OH GOOD GRIEF. fault somebody’s memory for something that may have happened 46-47 years ago ?

Now if it never happened,that’s a different story.

[puroresu]

LOL! Remember when Al Gore claimed he declared war on the tobacco industry when his sister died of lung cancer in 1984? Yet, he gave a rousing pro-tobacco speech at a tobacco growers’ convention in 1988.

These lies are just casual daily discourse for liberal Democrats.

[svcw]

The dates don’t bother as much as why a youth pastor would take her to see him in the first place.

[Jagman]

Hillary's Hitler youth minister and first took Hillary to hear Dr. Martin Luther King.

There, that's better.

[bmwcyle]

Hillary lies about everything. This is just another lie.

[svcw]

Yes, she was a Goldwater Girl.

[puroresu]

Dr King was a Republican

Dr King wasn't really a doctor. He plagiarized his dissertation. And if he was a Republican he sure fooled a lot of people by supporting the Great Society, massive expansions of federal power, and praising Ho Chi Minh.

[lonestar]

Are you telling me that Hillary was NOT named for Sir Edmund Hillary?

[Iron Munro]

"I've Been to the Mountaintop"
--Martin Luther King, Jr

Hillary was there too:

[svcw]

And people seem to forget it was Bobby Kennedy that had him wired taped and thrown into jail.
I remember those times and most people thought he was a communist or at least controlled by them.
If he had not been assassinated he would have failed into history or been like JJ and AS are today.

[KenHorse]

Maybe he was referring to one of Hillary’s thighs?

[bmwcyle]

She didn’t try to become a Marine either.

"Does anyone remember back in ‘63?? How it was??"

Segregated ...and highly doubtful that a parent would take a child (White or Black) to any event that might get ugly... heavy police presence at ALL MLK sightings and events.
