Atlanta mayor screws up big time trying to hit Clinton on "Fairy Tale" remarks.
Advertisements [?]
As everyone knows, what Bill Clinton said was:
"It is wrong that Senator Obama got to go through 15 debates trumpeting his superior judgment and how he had been against the war," Clinton said during the rally.

"There's no difference in your voting record, and Hillary's, ever since," Clinton said. "Give me a break. This whole thing is the biggest fairy tale I've ever seen."

Since that remark, certian Obama surrogates claimed Clinton was insulting Obama by calling Obama's campaign a "fairy tale.
Well, it looks like even the Mayor of Atlanta *and Atlanta's Top Newspaper* have fallen for the Obama's Camp's propaganda, because today she parroted the falsehood:
Shirley Franklin took what appeared to be a political shot at the former president's comments about Barack Obama's candidacy.
Speaking at the 40th annual MLK commemorative service at Ebenezer Baptist Church, Franklin said the country is on the "cusp of turning impossible into reality. Yes this is reality, not fantasy or fairy tales."

And the AJC failed to correct her, and just printed the falsehood.
