Reply #93: This is twisted - the op was written by a Clinton supporter as

[karynnj]

the poster you are responding to claimed. That OP attempts to equate Kerry's leaving out one word to Clinton's making up a story and telling it 4 times. They are in fact - attempting to use the fact that the treatment of Kerry on that was unfair to make the case that the attacks on HRC are equally unfair. Leaving aside the irony of her own actions on the Kerry joke, they are not equivilent.

1) Kerry genuinely left out one word - and the intended text was given to local media before the speech.
2) HRC's story was her prepared text - 4 times.
3) Kerry's case does not reflect on his integrity, honesty or genuineness - HRC's does.
4) HRC excuses her making up a story 4 times on being "human", yet she coldly condemned Kerry for the very "human" error of skipping a 2 letter word when he lost his place on a note card. (In Kerry's case - being human works; in HRC's case she might as well have said nothing. There is no good way to explain this.)

This also has very little to do with Kerry having endorsed Obama. Kerry is a leader in his own right - and you CAN separate him and Obama. In fact, it is the HRC supporter OP attempting to use Kerry to ask people not to fault Clinton.
