It's about perception not reality.....
No one would agree with the statement "It's OK to lie if you do so with passion".....
But very few people check the veracity of his statements.....What sticks in their mind is that Clinton was tough and he tried to kill Osama
The old adage of state a lie enough times it becomes believable....watch over the next several days how the left follows Clinton's lead....How many times did he repeat he tried to kill Osama? That was manipulation at it's finest and totally contrived.....
Clinton knows he will never convince 30% of the population that is conservative but the real fight over the middle percentage between right and left constituents. That middle percentage is not engaged daily on current events other than "sound bites" which is why "spin" (otherwise known as propaganda/lies) is soooooo darn effective....
