From Jack Cafferty to even Keith Olbermann, the mainstream media has begrudgingly had to acknowledge that Hillary Clintons recent scripted recollection of dodging sniper fire in Bosnia was not just a misstatement, but a bold faced lie. A lie told to bolster her image as an experienced, courage-under-fire, presidential candidate ready to become Commander-in-Chief.
The media, as usual, has been slow to jump onboard because they depend on candidates to come on and give interviews. When they think theyre being unduly picked on, they avoid that network. So media outlets are careful to fully check stories before they run them. Those of us online have no such concerns, as I sincerely doubt that any of the presidential candidates will take time out of their busy schedules to be interviewed by anyone on Outside The Wire yet.
We have both the luxury (and the responsibility) of coming to snap judgments, so we can break stories as they happen. In the case of Hillarys Bosnia Sniper Jog, we alerted readers to her misstatements as they occurred. The Clinton spin-machine went into action Monday, but there is one way to gauge how damaging this whole Snipergate could truly be.
There is NO mention of this incident on Media Matters.
For those of you who are not familiar with Media Matters, according to Hillary herself at last years Daily Kos Convention, it was a website founded in part by her to counter the attacks coming from the vast, right wing conspiracy.

All three, along with a huge dose of arrogance.
Hillary’s claim to a Million words a day beats the average person’s 6,000 to 10,000 by 2 orders of magnitude.
IOW if she stayed up for 24 hours she would be speaking non stop at a 12 words a second.
You got to really appreciate her ability just keep lying her way right through the last lie.
“Do you remember how she told her fib about Chelsea jogging near the world trade center.”
I remember that. Didn’t Chelsea also say she stopped and thanked God that her mother was a senator, and so therefore would help all the victims of the tragedy?
Hillary = delusional
No, I think the story was that Chelsea looked at the burning WTC and thought, "Bush shouldn't have passed those tax cuts!"
Here's a few highlights:
1. I remember when I was a boy they burned the black churches in our area -BJ Clinton No black churches burned in Arkansas during that period.
2. I did not have sex with that woman. -BJ Clinton
3. I was named after Sir Edmund Hillary.- Hillary Rodham She was born years before Edmund Hillary became internationally known.
4. Chelsea was jogging near the twin towers when the plane hit. -HRC Not even close.
5. We were under sniper fire. -HRC
6. I have thirty-five years of experience for the presidency. -HRC
b)... its B)
but she cant believe they are not fawning over her and bill anymore... how dare they!
she has 900 FBI files!!
Anyone know whether the DU is discussing this?
Law of unintended consequences - This will revive Sinbad's career.
John McCain upon being asked by reporters about the trip to Iraq, should say, “Well, as you know, we had to avoid sniper-fire....”
Everyone else was told to sit on their bulletproof vests," Clinton said. "And we came in, in an evasive maneuver. ... There was no greeting ceremony, and we basically were told to run to our cars. Now, that is what happened."Former Army Secretary Togo West, who accompanied Clinton to Bosnia, said he was not surprised "that there could be confusion" when someone who has taken a number of trips tries to recall details of a particular trip 12 years earlier.
"The important thing is that she was there. Our soldiers saw she was there and heard her and knew that our country cared about them and what they were doing," West told the AP during a telephone interview.
ooops!!!
guess snopes doesnt like links to their site but heres evidence that even years later, on her tours as Senator, the soldiers expressed their opinion.
Today she claimed that she was actually on the lunar lander with Armstrong on a secret mission when the moon people opened fire with paintball guns. She got a stain on her blue spacesuit.
CBS is looking for video to verify.
...and doctors have been unable to remove it due to the danger of brain damage.
