Can we confirm Hillary's MLK story?
Advertisements [?]
Edited on Fri Apr-04-08 01:10 PM by TwoSparkles
I think it's important to confirm Hillary's account of shaking hands with
Dr. Martin Luther King when she was 14. Today in her speech, she talked
about the impact it made on her.

I've never heard this story from her. I might have missed something.

Is there any way we can confirm that this story is true? I'm not saying
that it's untrue, but I'm having trouble trusting her after her ourageous
sniper-fire lies.

Hillary was born Oct 1947. She said she met King when she was 14. Another
poster said she mentioned that she met King in January. That puts her
handshake with King in January of 1962.

She also said her encounter with King took place in Chicago, right?

If this story is true, it should be verifiable.

If she was 14---did she see him through a school trip? Did another adult take her?

Given her repeated sniper-fire tales--I don't think it's out of line to wonder about
the veracity of her MLK story.
