Oh-Oh..Hillary's MLK speech says she shook MLK's hand at 14

[kaydee457 13]

Well, I wouldn't be surprised if this turns out to be another fib.....I'm sure I wasn't the only one rolling his eyes and wondering if this was more B.S. from her, as she gave the speech......

What do you think?

One of my favorite stories about Sen. Clinton, is how she grew up in a conversative mid-western neighborhood. Yet, her youth minister, Rev. Don Jones, took her and other youth to see Rev. Martin Luther King speak. In other words, Rev. Don Jones showed Hillary Rodham that there was a whole other world out there, other than the one she had been exposed to. Moreover, she arrived at Wellesley College as a Republican, but was transformed by the events of the turbulent 60's (i.e. the civil rights movement). As Judith Warner writes in her book Hillary Clinton: The Inside Story: "Hillary Rodham, who only two years before had shook Dr. King's hand, saw white policemen in storm trooper boots using cattle prods on peaceful black and white demonstrators, saw federal troops called in to keep the peace. Such images did not fail to make a mark on her."

Hillary Rodham's youth minister, Rev. Don Jones, took her and other youth to hear Rev. Martin Luther King speak, and she got to shake his hand.

And as author Judith Warner states so eloquently in her book "Hillary Clinton: The Inside Story"--

"A great deal happened in the world during the last six months of her senior year in high school. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., had the led march on Selma, Alabama. For the first time northerners had seen fire hoses and police dogs raining hate on African Americans down South. Hillary Rodham, who only two years before had shook Dr. King's hand, saw white policeman in storm trooper boots using cattle prods on peaceful black and white demonstrators, saw federal troops called in to keep the peace. Such images did not fail to make a mark on her."

More silliness.

Kaydee should spend more time worrying about why "his candidate" forgets his position on key issues during press conferences and makes factual gaffes that have to be corrected by his campaign team.

No kidding. Just wait until after the Primaries when the media's focus is more on McCain.

It's important to most- goes to credibility number6.....

Just more pompous diatribe from the forum’s number6, but actually the number1 lefty liberal in this forum……..

You need to manage your own time, number….You peruse these forums far more than I, which speaks volumes about the level of activity you’re engaged in outside these forums!

There’s always this condescending vitriol whenever the liberals in this forum have their role models shown to be either liars, or hypocrites.

Very curious behavior indeed.

Yeah - I make a crack about McCain in response to your constant smearing of the Democratic candidates. You respond with a personal smear against my person. Curious behavior indeed.

I shouldn't expect much more from an ex-military / pro-militarism type who forgot to take off his jackboots. Stale feet, stale opinions.

I have not really followed McCain or what he believes in. So I watched an interview with McCain yesterday. He is quite on the ball for his age..

.... for his age.

Gotta love it. That's like when Biden said Obama was so articulate and clean .... for a black man.
