(86,015 posts)131. that's even worse for whatever you're selling here. She described meeting Coe in 1993?
. . . nothing about any subsequent meeting?
here's where I made the mistake from Wiki:
Hillary Clinton described meeting the leader of the Fellowship in 1993: "Doug Coe, the longtime National Prayer Breakfast organizer, is a unique presence in Washington: a genuinely loving spiritual mentor and guide to anyone, regardless of party or faith, who wants to deepen his or her relationship to God."
I took it to mean that she related her description of him in 1993. Turns out that's the ONLY time she's on the record as admitting to meeting the man.
You mean to say that's the only evidence you have of any contact with the man? 1993? - even though she's being accused of belonging to the organization for 15 years??
OMG! This is worse than I thought!
The 'evidence' you've been presenting, touting it as her own account, and therefore, I guess, you think it's damning . . . the evidence of a 15 year relationship is her comment about meeting the man in 1993??
That's what you're selling here? OMG!

Based on her history, she will always resist calls to repudiate, apologize, or admit error.
