Based on what we (5.00 / 0) (#23)

currently know I wouldn't call this making up stuff.  But, look at how this exact type of thing played out for BO when he mentioned the anecdote about the under equipped military using captured equipment in Afghanistan.  The media (and the Pentagon) went after him suggesting the story seemed implausible, but it turned out the BO team had the source's information, and the story was completely true.

All I'm saying is that the HRC team should make some effort to see if a story is true before repeating it.  By not doing this it looks like they're more interested in political grandstanding because the reality of this story was never checked.  And, if HRC was so worried about this situation, why didn't she find out the particulars so she could do something to prevent the suffering of others in the future?

"should make some effort to see if a story is true before repeating it"

Y'mean like that story going around about HRC feeding the Obama pictures to Drudge when they've been out there for quite some time?

Or maybe that suggestion that there was something illegal going on between the Edwards campaign and the union's 527?

How 'bout the campaign memo suggesting that there was some cheating going on re: Clinton's fundraising trips to Florida?

I would say that warning of yours is a double-edged one that...ummm...slices both ways.

to see if his father really was airlifted by Kennedy before repeating the story for the one gazillion and first times, right?
One gazillion times telling a fairy tell is ok, but not once more--that is MY Obama rule!
