Clinton spokesman Mo Elleithee acknowledged that the campaign had tried but hadn’t been able to “fully vet” the story before she began repeating it on the campaign trail. Clinton said she learned of the woman from a deputy sheriff whose home she visited while campaigning in Ohio.

Believe nothing you hear and only half of what you see Hillary, and things will work out a lot better for you.

My wife just told me that they have been lying for so long they don’t know how to tell the truth. I added, that if facts are involved they don’t matter.

“she learned of the woman from a deputy sheriff whose home she visited while campaigning in Ohio.”

I met a homeless guy who told me he was Jesus, that aliens had reprogrammed he brain and that the world was going to end on April 15, 2008.
...so tell Hillary it doesn’t matter...there will not be any elections.

Y'know, Anne Kornbluth of the Washington Post wrote this story up yesterday (not the denial, but Hillary's claim). And she did it in a skeptical fashion that suggested she wasn't buying into it.

Now, this was a story that was easy to research -- Meigs County only has a population of 23K. But, inasmuch as reporters are incapable of performing any research these days, it was as if Kornbluth didn't believe the story either and was begging for some source to either corroborate or deny the story.

The MSM is onto Hillary. And they want the grifters gone.

I wonder how long it will be before Hil gives campaign speeches lip-synching to prerecorded speeches to make sure she doesn’t say anything that will damage her campaign?

The Clintons are already blaming this on a Sheriff's deputy; but that is their typical practice (blaming someone else.)

So IF Hillary was not in on the original lie (and since she is a pathological liar, I suspect that she was), THEN...

She is trying to confiscate and re-distribute our health care based on a lie-based-RUMOR, and a lie-based-rumor that she had every availability to fact check before using it manifold times as "evidence" that we are all helpless victims.

So, if she didn't make up the lie, then I think that she saw the story as "too good to check-out", and knew she could blame someone else if the truth got outed.

Time was Hillary could have gotten by with telling these whoppers. However, the MSM has turned against her and is longer giving her cover and the Internet makes it easy to check her facts and get the word out about her fabrications. She should have learned from Dan Rather’s Air Guard memo it is now almost impossible to get away with such falsehoods.

“NO MORE CLINTONS IN THE WHITE HOUSE....EVER!”

I’d say that in pretty certain at this point. Her campaign is so screwed up, it’s almost as if her campaign manager is covertly being paid to sabotage her.

I don’t think she’s a pathological liar at all. These are deliberate, well thought-out lies intended to deceive.

Oh, how noble of the witch to "honor" a request she stop lying! It just amazes me that the presstitutes can't bring themselves to print the simple truth; "Hillary Clinton caught lying again!"

“Well, my secretary said that she heard from her counsin, whose nephew knows someone who says...”

No wonder the damn phone’s ringing at 3am.

Even if this lie were 100% truth, why is a failure of the health care system??

I must be missing something, cause I don’t see that.

Did the family put this out there first? Grief does funny things to people and the Clinton folks just ran with it. Sad.

It shouldn't be too difficult for some enterprising reporter to find that deputy.

A New York Times story was linked in the Fox story this article is about. The NYT story has this to say about the deputy:

Linda M. Weiss, a spokeswoman for the not-for-profit hospital, said the Clinton campaign had never contacted the hospital to check the accuracy of the story, which Mrs. Clinton had first heard from a Meigs County, Ohio, sheriff’s deputy in late February.

“Snip”

The sheriff’s deputy, Bryan Holman, had played host to Mrs. Clinton in his home before the Ohio primary. Deputy Holman said in a telephone interview that a conversation about health care led him to relate the story of Ms. Bachtel. He never mentioned the name of the hospital that supposedly turned her away because he did not know it, he said.

Deputy Holman knew Ms. Bachtel’s story only secondhand, having learned it from close relatives of the woman. Ms. Bachtel’s relatives did not return phone calls Friday.

As Deputy Holman understood it, Ms. Bachtel had died of complications from a stillbirth after being turned away by a local hospital for her failure to pay $100 upfront.

“I mentioned this story to Senator Clinton, and she apparently took to it and liked it,” Deputy Holman said, “and one of her aides said she’d be using it at some rallies.”

So they apparently all knew who the deputy was/is!

She never mentions the hospital by name and isn’t trying to cast blame.

Another lie! She was trying to cast blame on the entire American Medical System in order to further her own socialist agenda.

I hate Hillary’s sing-song, affectless mechanical voice as much as I hate her endless lies.

One syllable and I am screaming, I am nauseous, I am changing the channel to ANYTHING else. She is absolutely unbearable.

Obama runs a close second. The additional problem with Hussein is that he never says a damn thing meaningful.

Listen to the phoneyness in her voice.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rq5BwOujrNQ

You can tell that even SHE realizes she’s inching out on a desperate, rather limb here.

The audience looks pretty glazed over — bored.

I thought I heard her tell the story from the viewpoint of an 11 year old she met in a ropeline , who shared something with her.

I think this was brought up during the Leno interview.

anyone else catch that or an I referencing another whopper....
