Hillary's Soccer Fantasy
Fox News ^ | March 28, 2008 | Dick Morris & Eileen McGann

Posted on 03/29/2008 6:59:01 AM PDT by COUNTrecount

Hillary Clinton’s made-from-whole-cloth fantasy about the perils of her trip to Bosnia was no unique foray into a world of make-believe accomplishments.

She’s been doing that for a long time.

Here’s another telling example: At a 1997 race-relations forum for teenagers in Boston, Hillary recalled the “pain” of a “childhood encounter” that helped her to grasp the injury suffered by the victims of bigotry. Her comments came as her husband was launching his second term in office by calling for a national dialogue on race and reconciliation. In an effort to empathize with her audience and inject herself into the discussion, she made up yet another incident that never happened.

“During a junior high school soccer game” on a cold day, Hillary claimed “a goalee told her ‘I wish people like you would freeze.’” Stunned, the future first lady asked how she could feel that way when she did not even know her. “I don’t have to know you,” the goalee shot back, “to know I hate you.”

Nice story, but it never happened.

While today’s generation of young girls routinely play on multiple soccer teams in their schools and towns, Hillary’s generation had no such opportunity. Hillary may have attended lots of Chelsea Clinton’s soccer games, but, that seems to be the sum total of her soccer career. As a school sport, girls’ soccer teams didn’t exist when Hillary went to middle or high school. In 2004, the Athletic Director for South Main High School in Park Ridge — and a 34-year veteran of the school system — confirmed that there were no girls’ soccer teams of any kind in Hillary’s school district in the 1960s.

Hillary seems to have simply conjured up the tale, like the one about the Balkans and the one about Chelsea

She didn’t know Bush would actually use military force against Iraq when she signed onto the ....

This is why I could never run for office. Still, Mrs Clinton tells more whoppers than I do.

But the real question is, do any of her supporters actually care, or do they simply wave it off as politics?

Not trying to defend the Antichrist, but I was in junior high in the 60s and I was forced to exhibit my nonexistent soccer skills in phys ed class on a regular basis. There were no soccer teams, but it certainly was a regular part of the phys ed curruculum.

These people have such a hunger for power that they feel they need to “relate” to everybody and everything on a personal level, as if that will somehow get them into power by getting people to vote for them. They will invent a story or a scenario on the spot to try and garner empathy from the person they are talking to, and they don’t even have a nanosecond of guilt or hesitation about conjuring up a new lie. It is pathological.

on a cold day, Hillary claimed “a goalee told her ‘I wish people like you would freeze.

...and Hillary's been known as "cold, frozen, frigid," and "the Ice Queen," ever since.

According to the athletic director ,of the school she attended, there was no girl’s soccer team.
I was in high school, on Long island, in the 60’s and we definitely had no soccer team. Never even played it in PE.

Yep, that was my point. We had no soccer team, either, but we played soccer as part of our phys ed classes. I remember it clearly because I sucked at it so badly.
