billcap: "And again, you're proving my point. What I list are simple facts. That's it."
You didn't just list facts, you used them to make various points and arguments.
billcap: "What I'm doing is presenting the whole story."
....to suit your argument.
billcap: "But as I said, and as you, sadly now typically, ignore, there is some question as to whether the planned ceremony itself was canceled."
Silly. She said there was no ceremony at all, that they just ran to their vehicles because there was a threat. Instead, it turns out people were casually standing around.
billcap: "So in remembering back 12 years, is it possible that if the planned ceremony was canceled that somehow she doesn't remember..."
It isn't about *not* remembering something. It's about stating a firm memory of something that is completely off the mark from what actually occurred. And she didn't just misspeak, this stuff was in her prepared notes.
You're doing mental backflips to try to defend a lie. You should give up now, it isn't working.
billcap: "If it weren't Hillary, it'd be a no-brainer."
People go after others who lie or who make embarrassing gaffes all the time. McCain proved his lack of understanding of Middle East politics just last week, with Joe Lieberman having to whisper corrections in his ear.
billcap: ""false" does not equal a lie."
Then you're trying to raise the threshold so high for "lie" that nothing could ever qualify as a lie. But you have to do mental backflips to deny that Hillary is lying when she says something that is so far off the mark from reality, especially when she has a very obvious motive for lying. Really -- who would remember ducking and running under threat of sniper fire, if it had not happened? You don't just "misremember" such a thing. It's either a willful fabrication, or somebody implanted false memories into her brain ala Sean Young in "Blade Runner."
