The Clinton campaign website now has two different dates that Hillary saw Dr. King:
The campaign has scheduled an event with Don Jones who they now say "was Hillary's youth minister and first took Hillary to hear Dr. Martin Luther King speak in 1961". (Hillary would have been 13 at the time)
At the speech she gave in Selma, she said she saw him "on a cold January night" in 1963, when Mrs. Clinton was 15.
And two weeks ago she told Tim Russert "I was 14 years old when I heard Dr. King speak in person".
That would have been in 1962.

The campaign let her go on becuase they don’t care. Remember what their credo was when Bill ran: “The Ends Justify the Means.” The press will forgive lapses in memory and small lies, especially when they want you to win.
Knowing that, her campaign doesn’t care a fig for facts.

Now if you were introduced to Mickey Mantle in 1963 Actually I was a Willie Mays fan!
And I did speak to ballplayers reasonably often, though mostly not famous ones. Of course I would remember. But then I really do remember a lot.
May point wasn't that the Commodities Scam Queen wasn't lying. The odds are very good that she was lying because most of what she says and does is a lie. I was just suggesting that it was actually easier back then for kids to be doing adult sorts of things by themselves if they had a mind to do them.

So which ballplayers do you remember talking to?
(This isn't a quiz, just curious)

This reads like a perverted version of the best country song ever - it’s got nearly everything. You forgot wanting to be an astronaut, wanting to adopt another child, the FJB comments, Rose Law firm, cattle futures, etc. So many lies.

I best remember talking to Tug McGraw a day (or two) after he pitched a great game for the Mets in Pittsburgh (which I was at) when he was throwing in the bullpen before a Cubs game. I said something to him like "Nice game, last night," and he was thrilled that someone cared. I used to see ballplayers in the hotels because my father tended to stay at the same hotels that the ball-teams used. I remember they would sit around the pool at the Chase Park Plaza in St Louis during the day which I did sometimes too. I really tended not to bother them though. I've never been big on disturbing the privacy of people whom I really do not know.

Liar, Liar, Pants on Fire!
This woman and her slime ball husband wouldn’t know the truth if they were knocked over the head with it.

Lying comes as easily to a Clinton as breathing does to the rest of us.

but he had work to do so I went to baseball games, the Museum of Science and Industry...
beutiful...but what exact dates ?
To: pjsbro
She should just say in the 60’s. lol.
To: Senator Goldwater
assuming somebody is going to be able to prove/disprove it, regardless of what date she eventually comes up with.
( it’s a multiple choice, open book test on the date).
how can this person expect to be President, when she can’t even get a lie right ?
To: ml/nj
That's pretty cool
I have similar memories. As a boy I also traveled with my father, staying in the same hotels with the ballplayers.
I remember the Dodgers were at the hotel in Pittsburgh - this would be 1964 - saw Maury Wills, etc.
I went to the game at Forbes Field, sat way way up in the "Press Box" or so they told me. IIRC, Wills had a great base-stealing year then.

Hillary was there too:”
Oh yes, she doubtless met him on top of Mt. Everest while being inspired by her namesake, Sir Edmund Hillary.

I didn't see the Dodgers there that year, but I was there for a couple of games too. I remember going with my father one night and having great box seats behind the first base dugout. The next night I went by myself and bought general admission. I brought the stub from the night before and sat in the same seat. Your hotel was probably the Hilton.
