    So you had 5 days to retract and didn't - pathetic much? You declared that Obama had hidden his past based on this Insight article (which used totally unattributed sources - red flag) and hyped on Fox. You never questioned the truth of it; you just declared him guilty.

    As you now declare Clinton guilty the same flimsy "evidence" that has already proven unreliable.

    No, he is correct. You declared you're sticking to the allegation although it is without any proof whatsoever. Clinton denies it, so if you continue to tout it with no evidence, well, that goes to your character, not hers.

    And what evidence do they provide? Is that a reliable source or has it been confirmed by any one else?

    And what exactly is the allegation?
    That anonymous "sources" say that anonymous researchers "connected " not to Clinton but the "Clinton camp" did a background check and discovered this terrible secret. The allegation is not that Clinton actually leaked anything, but that "sources" say what turns out to be a "scurrilous lie" (Obama's word) was uncovered.

    Who are the sources and what credibility do they have? Who do the "sources" work for?

    What pattern? Who has Clinton smeared before?

    The right has the most to gain by doing the foul deed and blaming Clinton - a twofer smear.

    Rumor-mongering, mudslinging, oh what sport for the unscrupulous!

    Sounds like they're launching the swift boats a bit early this time.

    You really need to get a grip, Daisy.:tear:

    You seem to be slightly obsessed with me. Please get over it. It's not becoming.

    Ah good ole carpro - resort to snarky personal comment instead of addressing the substance of my post, to wit: on what evidence are you basing your smear on Clinton(that she is in any way responsible for the lie against Obama), now that you have dropped your smear against Obama (that he hid his past)?

    Hopefully, this thread will get back on topic so it won't have to be closed.

    Clinton is a known and proven liar. He is not likely to have changed his unscrupulous ways.

    The only thing that saved Monica from be ground into hamburger by the Clinton smear machine was that doggone bluedress.:thumbs:

    You need to go back and read your own post and then come back and instruct us all about personal comments and attacks.

    That's why I urged you to calm down. It was apparent you had at least temporarily lost your grip.

    Christian (linkie).

    The question is about Sen. Clinton and how she has smeared anyone, not whether her husband lied about having sex. Are we pretending not to know that?

    I don't recall Sen. Clinton or her husband smearing Ms. Lewinski. Evidence other than recollection?

    I did read my post and the main part of it was not about you at all, unless you count debunking your accusation and asking for evidence to be about you and not about the topic. The comment about sport was meant for whoever enjoys rumor-mongering and mudslinging; if you take that to be you, well.....

    Clinton denies it, so if you continue to tout it with no evidence, well, that goes to your character, not hers.

    Wow! what a zinger that was - if you like, I'll rephrase: Clinton denies it, so if anyone continues to tout it with no evidence, well, that goes to his character, not hers. Ok, all better now? I apologize for making it personal rather than general.

    Nonsense, you were trying to goad me as you are again with this - what a surprise! - personal attack.:laugh:

    The good part is that you appear to be at least partially back under control. In denial, but partly restrained. I knew you could do it.:applause:

    It appears the first Hillary submarine attack has occurred. There will be more.

    Again, the question is about Sen. Clinton and how she smeared anyone. Again, what evidence do you have against her?

    Ok, what about the Blue Dress was a smear by Sen. Clinton?

    Quoted you, cute inuendo, but totally devoid of substance.

    Again, what evidence do you have that it is a lie? If none, this smacks of false witness and bad character...

    Cute, no substance, evidence?

    Snarkity-snark.

    I have Insight and you have a Clinton spokesman. Whatever her campaign investigators do, she is responsible for.

    Insight stands by their story. It is just as likely they are telling the truth as it is a thoroughly biased spokesman for Clinton.

    Absent hard evidence freom another unbiased source, my opinion rules.:thumbs:

    End of subject.

    What did Insight, which has been proven unreliable and unprofessional on the main aspect of their story, allege her investigators actually did? Go back and read carefully while trying to distinguish between "sources close to" and her actual investigators. Keep in mind that Insight never provides any evidence that this rumor came from Sen. Clinton's campaign.

    Which story? The part about Obama attending a "madrassa" has been rather thoroughly debunked. If they are standing by this - Fox retracted - in the face of the evidence, that goes to their lack of credibility.

    Not really, as it is their claim, it is their responsibilty to provide evidence. They already have been wrong about the "madrassa" so that does not bode well for the likeliness of this unevidenced story.

    Lacking evidence period, but certainly your choice.

    We shall see.

    Look, it's simple.

    If it's true: He didn't bring it up because it *might* hurt his chances of being elected.

    It it's false: He didn't bring it up because it wasn't true, and therefore not an issue.

    It's not worth getting any undergarments in a snitch, bunch or otherwise uncomfortable position.
