No, she didn't say anything like Mike said. > "As far as I know." - Hillary Clinton Here's the transcript: CLINTON: Of course not. I mean, that's--you know, there is not basis for that. You know, I take him on the basis of what he says. And, you know, there isn't any reason to doubt that. KROFT: And you said you'd take Senator Obama at his word that he's not a Muslim. CLINTON: Right. Right. KROFT: You don't believe that he's a Muslim or implying? Right. CLINTON: No. No. Why would I? No, there is nothing to base that on, as far as I know. KROFT: It's just scurrilous -- CLINTON: Look, I have been the target of so many ridiculous rumors. I have a great deal of sympathy for anybody who gets, you know, smeared with the kind of rumors that go on all the time. > Apparently one of her staffers sent out an email > saying something like that. And was promptly fired for it.
