She said on Sunday's "Meet the Press" that she was only 14 when she went to hear Martin Luther King speak in Chicago in April of 1962, but Hillary’s campaign website still features a major speech she made less than a year ago stating it happened in 1963.
There are real issues to deal with regarding Hillary. Her mistaken recollections of things that happened 40 years ago are a distraction to the real work of pointing out how dangerous her policies would be.
Ergo, distractions matter.
I wonder if there is any easy way to check and see if King actually spoke in Chicago during that time?????
Turns out it IS easy. Here is the link: http://blog.washingtonpost.com/fact-checker/2007/12/hillary_and_martin_luther_king.html
She said she saw MLK in January of 1963, but the sermon she says she remembers was given in April of 1962. I doubt she was there at all.
Wellthe lecture supposidly happened in a decent size hall/auditorium. I suspect there is a way.
The speech she remembers was actually given in one of the Arkansas churches as it was burning down, so the records were destroyed before Sir Edmund could actually verify them.
I think she went every year for several years in a row - a real groupie...
Is this part of her 35 years of experience?
You are talking about Monica Lewinskys ex boyfriend’s wife, right?

Fact checking on Hillary’s website?
Isn’t that like looking for a corner in a round room?
I posted a comment a moment ago. How long did they take to actually put the comments on the site?
I was the one who made the initial inquiry about this to the FactChecker. You can read my whole story here
