The Truth

BY: DR. FOREST LEWIS

I recently predicted that Hillary Clinton was feeling like a wounded animal. When an animal is wounded, and is being pursued, it is at this point that it is most dangeous!

Clinton is feeling a life long dream slowly ebbing away. Some in the Main Stream Media have come to her aid. For example, I have noticed that Fox News has been questioning the capabilities of Barack Obama. Bill O'Reilly who doesn't surprise me, said last week that Clinton has been thoroughly vetted, however, the same can not be said for Obama. This morning, Gretchen Carlson, the woman I find hard to believe was at one time a "Miss America," jumped all over a guest who was not giving her the answers that she wanted on Obama. Like O'Reilly, Ms. Carlson talked about the vetting process that Clinton has gone through. Some advice for both O'Reilly and Carlson, if it is dirt that you are looking for, "It ain't there."

Don't you think that Hillary Clinton, the "Queen Of Mudslinging" would have found Obama's achilles heels by now? O'Reilly and Carlson should be listed as "Consultants" for the Clinton campaign. Carlson's behavior was especially despicable this morning. She needs to look up the word guest. A guest in our homes or appearing on a television program should be treated with respect, not be attacked the way that Carlson attacked her male guest. Long gone are the days when a reporter left his or her biases at home. These so-called journalists of today disgust me with their obvious favorites.

The big news on the campaign trail today came from Clinton's communications director. He accused Senator Obama of "Plagiarism." Now, those of you who have attended college understand that this word, can literally destroy your life. A plagiarist is a person who takes verbatim, words from another's work. Howard Wolfson, with the blessings of Hillary Clinton, told reporters that Obama "Stole The Words" of Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick, used by Deval during one of his campaign speeches in October, 2006.

Patrick was addressing his opponent, Massachusetts Lt. Governor Kerry Healey when he said:

"But her dismissive point, and I hear it a lot from her staff is that all I have to offer is words--just words. "We hold these truths to be self-evident that all men are created equal. Just words--just words! "We have nothing to fear but fear itself." Just words! Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country." Just words! "I have a dream." Just words!"

Now, the speech of Barack Obama that is being questioned by the Hillary camp:

"Don't tell me words don't matter. "I have a dream." Just words. "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all  men are created equal." Just words! "We have nothing to fear but fear itself." Just words-just speeches!"

Contrasting these two speeches, would I say that Obama plagiarized Governor Patrick's speech? No, and here is why. What Howard Wolfson didn't tell reporters was this:

* Obama and Patrick are longtime friends

* Patrick has endorsed Obama

I have a close friend. We have known each other since we were twelve years old. Our speech pattern is eerily identical. We often use the same words! This is apparently the case with Obama and Patrick. In fact, an Obama spokesman had this to say on the matter:

"They're friends who share similar views and talk and trade good lines all the time"

It seems to me that it should have been the governor who chided Obama and not Hillary Clinton. But, such was not the case. Here now, the Governor in his own words:

"Senator Obama and I are longtime friends and allies. We often share ideas about politics, policy and language. The argument in question, on the value of words in the public square, is one about which he and I have spoken frequently before. Given the recent attacks from Senator Clinton, I applaud him for responding in just the way he did"

Team Obama then called "Broom Hilda" on her "Stealing Some Of His Lines." Some of the lines that this hypocrite stole include, "Fired up and ready to go." She also "Stole" the Obama trademark saying of, "Yes We Can."

Hillary Clinton is showing America her real side, the "Win At All Costs, Even If It Means Maligning Your Opponent With Lies." Are you surprised? If so, you shouldn't be! This is a very "Nasty Woman."

I would say shame on Ms. Clinton, but this woman has no shame!
