ap out spinning for Hillary.. there’s still a couple kicks left in the HildaBeast..

[unkus]

The Beast will look like a rabid dog cornered by the time Denver rolls around.

[NonValueAdded]

Remember that Hillary! is a trained lawyer in addition to being the smartest woman in the whole darned Universe. She surely knows what hearsay is. Yet after all the lies that came before, she chose to go with it anyway. Yeah, smartest.

[Michael.SF.]

You do rabid dogs a disservice, sir.

;)

[blackdog]

Sheriff Holman had better watch out for that gang drive-by shooting activity. The Clintonista Cryps might be seeking revenge.

[blackdog]

A cornered rabid dog looks pretty good compared to Hillary right now.........

[SERKIT]

False but semi-inaccurate. Good enough for a left-leaning reporter.

[unkus]

I stand corrected and apologize to all breeds. And there is NO sarcasm in my apology.

[NormsRevenge]

What I meant to say.. Oh, wait! Was that a rifle shot?

"Candidates are told stories by people all the time, and it's common for candidates to retell those stories," said campaign spokesman Mo Elleithee. "In this case, we tried but weren't able to fully vet the story."............... So, we ran with it anyway.

[Wiseghy]

This is pretty good example of the entire movement toward single payer and healthcare reform overall. Mostly, legislators and their staffs are pummeled by stories that are incorrect, misleading or missing key facts.

There is plenty to correct in the the current healthcare market, but mostly I find that legislators do not what to buckle down and study the details. They PREFER these mythical stories, because they know that they appeal to voters and that the reality of healthcare reform will likely confuse them and voters, while providing little political benefit.

[DustyMoment]

The truth of the story is that the young woman who is the subject of Hillary’s “story”, is actually a Clinton staffer who suffered as the result of HRC not paying her staff’s health insurance premiums. That’s the “Rest of the Story”!!!

[dbacks]

I hereby swear to tell a lie, just a lie and nothing but a lie.

[Husker8877]

Very simply, one more “fake but accurate” story which of course will have no negative effect in the long run.

I’d love to see The Beast barking like that rabid dog by convention time, but with these Clintons, they are never out, and we won’t see it, I fear.

I think what we’ll be seeing come Denver-time is her b*tt-fugly face smiling at all the little people, the pretty balloons falling down around her as the rabid democrats swoon over their victorious successor.

I will never count the evil Clintons out, and I will never underestimate their otherworldly influence among their supporters. They will never go away. Sh*t.

(And I do hope I’m totally wrong on my feelings in this regard.)

Another example of bias from Babington:

[chris_bdba]

I can’t believe that her campaign didn’t bother to check to see if this was a rumor before swallowing it hook line and sinker! I have no idea why but in this area (SE Ohio) rumors take on a life of their own and it gets worse the further south you go around here.

[Loyal Buckeye]

The story smells. A hospital not caring for an individual for $100. Not buying it.

[COBOL2Java]

So, in other words, the story was fake, but accurate?

[red flanker]

Not only that, but why not get all of the story?

First of all, what were the circumstances where Bryan Holman was picked out of all the residences where her royal Thighness would sit and talk? Hint: Hillery and her campaign loves plants.
