(43,891 posts)You know, even 'progressives' have an agenda and as I've seen over they years they, too, are capable of intentionally embellishing the truth and omitting certain facts to push a narrative. The 'Progressive' press is guilty of that in this instance and some have bought it hook line and sinker.
In Living History - did you know Doug Coe, the leader of the Family, is mentioned exactly ONE time in Living History? ONE time. On page 168 in a passage in which Hillary is discussing her faith. It's a very brief mention in which she states, like the article states above, he assured her she was was she needed to be spiritually. What MotherJones and the rest of these 'progressive' muckrakers aren't saying (and I guess they're hoping you won't check yourself) is the same passage Coe is mentioned in covers several other religious contacts including Holly Leachman and Linda Lader who invited both Hillary and Tipper Gore to a bipartisan women's only prayer group.
All in all, the religious faith passage covers only six paragraphs of a 562 page book and very directly states this period was when Clinton was close to, and then did, lose her father.
