“When I was growing up, the neighborhoods I lived in were surrounded by farm fields, and every harvest season we had a lot of the migrants who come up from Mexico, through Texas, following the harvest, all the way up through Illinois and Michigan,” Mrs. Rodham Clinton has told the spellbound.
Of course millions of people across the country have no idea where Park Ridge is located. They don’t realize it is, was and forever will be an appendage of O’Hare International Airport, attached to Chicago like your nose is to your face.
Mrs. Rodham Clinton has been telling the Big Woods of Park Ridge story since 1996 when she told an audience: “Those of you who did not grow up around Chicago in the 1950s and can only imagine flying into O’Hare where everything looks developed, might find it hard to believe how many farm workers we would have.”
Maybe she mistakenly figured that the American Farm Bureau, headquartered in Park Ridge for decades, was actually a day labor purveyor of hired hands. Or that the State Farm insurance agency office in town was really a government welfare office for migrant workers.
Regardless, if tonight’s Chicago speech holds true to form, Mrs. Rodham Clinton will describe how she used to help migrant farm families in Park Ridge. “The children would go to school with us,” she has said many times, “and every Saturday morning my church group, we’d go out and baby-sit the younger children, so that the older children could join their families in the fields.”
She is correct that in Cook County in the ’30s and ’40s “farmers purchased most of the available land in the county and began raising crops and livestock.” There is just one problem. It was the 1830s and 40s...

I’m waiting to hear about her walking 10 miles in the snow to get to school. Perhaps Indian campfires were visible on the way.
She’s as much of a liar as her husband.
Thwap.
Dual pathological liars...
“And you KNOW what I’m talkin’ ‘bout...”
Liar, liar, pant suit on fire. What a disgusting creature.
Courtesy of your DNC, “We think all of you are a bunch of mindless idiots” we will take care of you.
Of course by the looks of many Chicago abandoned neighborhoods, they may be right, about the mindless but ‘taking care of things’... No thanks!
“..She’s as much of a liar as her husband. >””
She’s just not as good at it.......
BJ kept up the racist rumor mongering of church fires even in the 1990s. It was where he misdirected FBI focus when the 9-11 hijackers were on American soil training for their terrorist mission.
Put this tall tale with her trying to join the Marines, applying to NASA, and being named for Sir Edmund Hillary five years before he conquered Everest.... All lies that the MSM conveniently ignores. Whereas in the case of a Republican, the search for dirt never ends. See: Dan Rather, September 2004.....
I was told that the airport abbreviation for O’Hare was “ORD” because the airport was surrounded by “orchards” — I don’t know if any of that is true — or even relevant this article — feel free to call me a threadjacker.
You forgot...
Barefoot, uphill both ways
Maybe it’s just the “seriousness” of her claim that makes it valid?
And she personally worked on the Underground Railroad with Harriet Tubman!
Anyone not clicking the link and reading the whole article is really missing a hoot..!
Don’t be silly, only Republicans are capable of lying. People of Hillary’s political persuasions never lie, just ask Al Gore.
Don’t believe a word Hillary says, even if she tells you today’s date. Check the calendar yourself instead.
To Pick Chicago’s crops
Their ninos they did drop
At chez Hillary
Who thought shrewdly
Later they’ll make great props
Hillary is a big fat liar.
Did she also say she was beautiful when she was young?
