The media is sprouting wood over Sen. Clinton’s lie about her so called dangerous trip to Bosnia.  It’s nice to see the MSM actually report on a Clinton lie.  I can’t imagine that anyone can rationalize her story which she told on at least three separate occasions from Dec. 2007 to just last week with the video that has been playing.  No snipers, no running with heads down, no immediately being whisked off to safety, just Clinton, her daughter and apparently, as Sinbad put it, “a guitar player and a comedian.”

I hope the media will pay attention to an even more blatant Clinton lie that she told to win the Ohio Primary: that she had been against NAFTA since the beginning and was actually acting as a fifth column against NAFTA in her philanderer’s, I mean husband’s, White House.

John Nichol’s “The Online Beat” in The Nation tells the real story, as re-created from Sen Clinton’s schedule as First Lady just released.

Clinton has campaigned this year as a critic of the North American Free Trade Agreement.

Despite the fact that the deal was promoted and passed during the Bill Clinton presidency, and despite her own long record of praising NAFTA’s “benefits,” Clinton has been claiming on the current campaign trail that, “I have been a critic of NAFTA from the very beginning.”

Well, not exactly.  

In truth, she was an advocate for NAFTA within the Bill Clinton White House. White House records released last week confirm that Hillary Clinton spoke on behalf of NAFTA and participated in strategy sessions organized to figure out how to gain congressional approval of an agreement that was opposed by labor, farm, environmental and human-rights groups.

Clinton’s flacks are trying hard to obfuscate.  They have called her meetings to strategize how to beat the opposition of labor, farm, environmental and human rights groups as “drop bys”.

One of the participants has a different meaning of the word …..”is” or “drop by”.

The executive director of the United States Association of Importers of Textiles and Apparel, Laura Jones, was at the meeting. She tells ABC News that it is “ludicrous” to suggest that Hillary Clinton was a half-hearted backer of the trade deal that has cost the United States hundreds of thousands of unionized jobs, hobbled whole industries, saddled this country with record trade deficits, undermined protections for workers in the U.S. and abroad and forced Mexican farmers off the land and into the immigration stream.

“There was no question that everyone who spoke including the First Lady was for NAFTA, it was a rally on behalf of NAFTA to help it get passed,” says Jones. “It’s unquestionable.”

Why hasn’t any MSM outlet picked up on this one yet?  Could it be their corporate owners want this left alone.  Be that as it may, this is sijmply another in a long line of Clinton drive by–or drop by–shootings of the truth.
