Hillary Clinton: Liar, Liar Pants-suit on Fire |
 |
Of all the sins committed by the Bush administration, the 935 falsehoods told in the run-up to the Iraq War — including 232 on WMDs and 28 staight from the horse’s mouth on the ties between Hussein and al-Qaeda – have to be the worst.
In her campaign to replace W., Clinton has presented herself as a leader capable of repairing the damage done. And yet, she has no qualms using the same brand of deception exemplified by the last 8 years. Her latest, and perhaps most egregious, example came yesterday, in a memo from the Clinton campaign. It read:
As Josh pointed out, Obama has been winning this race since day 1, and has steadily increaed his lead ever since. And the Clinton campaign is trying to tell us that Obama is in a downward spiral?
Of course, this isn’t the first lie HRC has spun. Here’s a selection from the vault.
“We bombed them [Iraq] for days in 1998 because Saddam Hussein threw out inspectors.†— HRC at the Los Angeles debate, justifying the bombing of Iraq during Bill’s second term. In reality, bombing was planned for months and Bill Clinton ordered the inspectors out in anticipation of the bombing campaign.
Hillary Clinton met Sir Edmund Hillary, who along with his guide was the first man to climb Mt. Everest. She told him that her mother was so inspired by the man that she named her daughter after him. That’s sweet, but it’s also a lie. When Clinton was born, in 1947, Sir Edmund Hillary was an unknown beekeeper.
Hillary Clinton called the votes in Florida and Michigan “fair,” and offered two options; “honor the results or hold new primary elections.” Both candidates agreed not to campaign in these states, abiding by any decision made by the DNC. Obama’s name did not even appear on the ballot in Michigan. The notion that these were fair is patently absurd.
Hillary told NBC Dateline that, on the morning of September 11, 2001, Chelsea had “gone on what she thought would be a great jog. She was going down to Battery Park, she was going to go around the towers. She was going to get a cup of coffee and — that’s when the plane hit!” Later, Chelsea wrote an essay on where she was that morning. Turns out she was in a friend’s apartment on Park Avenue South. She watched it on television.
We could continue on, but I think we’ve established a pattern. Clinton would be more of the same brand of dirty politics.
Please, feel free to fill in any lies I’ve omitted in the comments section. And … some Henry Rollins to drive it home.

Some recent ones. She says whatever she thinks people want to hear, and preys on working class people who won’t dig through the media to check into what she claims. Disgusting.
I’d rather follow Hilary than the Pastor who Obama has been folloing for 20 years because she loves America warts and all, he hates America when he says GOD DAMN AMERICA…I can’t understand why if Obama is a follower of such hatred that he wants to run for President of this hated country and its people. He should go home to Kenya where his muslim dad who follows the Islamic house of Hussein came from. There he would be free to follow his hatred and commit genocide. No Drama Obama is right!!!! All his persona makes me think is that he is a well-trained puppet who doesn’t give a damn about anything other than winning.
Give me Hilary, she’s FOR REAL not some screwed up bible banging American hating indictrinated wannabe.
Obama will lose the Presidency for the Democrats. Hilary has a chance.
But you all carry on with your ignorance and arrogance.
Jerry Farwell and Pat Robertson said the same thing about 9/11. Instead of the word “Dammed” America, they used “Judged” America because of it’s tolerance for homosexuality and other things of that nature. How many religious leaders said that Katrina & the tsunami was god striking down homosexuality? Do all of their followers (including several politicians) believe that? Obviously not. Should all of those people distance themselves from those them completely? Or should they distance themselves and disagree with those particular statements? I’m a Christian, and I don’t always agree with my pastor. (Like when they say that women should be sub-servant to men at all times) That doesn%u2019t mean I run away from the church.
“Go back where you came from…?” Well, Between this statement and a support for Hillary regardless to the fact that she’s:
1) Takes the most money from lobbiest (including $$$ from some of the same lobiest that lobby the Bush admin…LOOK IT UP!!!)
2)She bold faced lied on PBS about what the delegates agreed on in Michigan.
3) She bold faced lied about her role in establishing s-chip (at least according to Arlen Spector…Yes he’s a Republican, but he has had the courage to step away from the Bush admin. at times
4) Her campaign has played the southern strategy (catering to the white racist vote…Which is how the got “go back where you came from….” Charlie Brown
5) She won’t FULLY release her tax returns (not what she has to release as a Senator…that’s NOT complete disclosure)
because she and Bill have links to weapons contractors profiting in Iraq
Charlie Brown…you are the epitome of the word..un-informed!!! You definitely accent one of the biggest differences between Obama supporters and Clinton Supporters…EDUCATION!!!! Your willing to let a bold faced liar, who plays on race, (Ferraro’s comments were no accident) & takes the most money from lobbiest (HMMM…I wonder if they’ll be some back for lobbiest if she gets into the Whitehouse…If you don’t think so, then you are not just un-educated Charlie Brown…you’re an IDIOT!!)
Idiots can go back where they came from…& get out of American election process!!!
OMG…she is a lying bag who will do anything to seize power. She has no good ideas, no sense of leadership, no credentials ( my husband was screwing around and I like missed it), kind of like her snipers in Bosnia…biggest fake since, well never before!
OMG…we deserve the leader we elect!
OK
Nice.
First of all, after reading the previous comments and the information concerning Hilliary in regards to liar, liar etc. it proves that Hilliary’s creditability is nowhere as a result of her own self-indulgence. I am not against Hilliary, so don’t get me wrong. I just can’t see a person of her caliber running America. She have more far fetched stories than those of the man on the moon. Both she and Obama have issues, and so do myself and all of us. Yet, this election is about securing the best qualified person to become the commander in chief. Obama has stepped to the plate with substantial evidence. I have listened and read several issues from both candidates. Obama has continually stressed the point of working together with the American people in order to bring about a change and concerns of the people. Hilliary has for the last month or so, been entangled in trying to shoot Obama down with innumerous skits and schemes that doesn’t pertain to the concerns of the people. It’s like she’s in a war against Obama for fame and whatever. America has enough problems to have to deal with those added to them by Hilliary. She need to get a grip or seek professional medical help and not lay her problems on the American people. She’s just in the way. As far as Obama staying with a church of such caliber, I am sure that out of those two sermons that are in the media, that they aren’t the only two sermons that Pastor Wright preached about everyday for 17 or 20 years. I am sure that that pastor through the years have provided some positive and good advice to Obama in the course of those years. Actually , we all have been a victim of circumstance at some point in life. Yet once it was bought to Obama%u2019s attention concerning the pastor , then , did he know that there arose some concern, so he did what he had to do in order to follow procedure according to whatever was expected to manifest over it%u2019s concern. Over exaggeration by the media and those that choose to continually roll with the preacher’s sermons should get a grip on reality and stop wasting the American dollar on such unnesscary exposure. Take that time and $$$ to allocate to something of importance that would benefit this election . It%u2019s appears as though this situation is another process by which society has tried to find and make something of nothing. What%u2019s the problem , what%u2019s the real hold up? Last, but not least, I can say that if ever a situation have arose in regards to Obama, he have followed protocol to end it and continue in his mission for change without hesitating to overindulge it. Unlike Hilliary, she tends to prolong the situation and even add on and even top it off with another situation. It appears to be never ending in her case. Her approach to lies, schemes and drama is like the long winding road with no ending. A part of politics, I%u2019d suppose.
Happy hour is over…it is show time now. Put up or shut up. Don’t need no more screw ups. American people need to understand a bit more in debt about the health plan issues, the NAFTA Trade agreements, how will the immigration laws be handled, tax-cut issues and the like. Do remember the initial setup plans , for that is where we were left off in regards to those issues. Any more concrete , yet discreet info we need to know. And what concerns do you for see in the upcoming debates with McCain. These are interests of concern that we the American people need be informed about. Not concerns of hate and dirty laundry, we all have our share of both I would suppose. What would you suppose we do about them to minimize them both or preferably to eliminate them all together. Obama has appeared to have sound advice and good judgement so forth in handling such affairs, so continue on. Hilliary on the other hand seems to need some advice because she don’t know who will answer the phone. Even when she decided to finally pick it up, she just set there with the phone to her ear and said nothing. Obama did reply should the phone had rung, but apparently it has not rang for him yet. So now the American people have decided to dial the number and wait on either of you to pick it up and give us some advice on our concerns. RING RING RING-HELLO.
The Clintons, when faced with a superior foe and almost certain loss, decided to appeal to Americans’ instincts for fear and hatred of non-Caucasians, xenophobia, etc. It has worked for the Bushes and countless others. The problem is that she can’t beat McCain with that because he owns the strategy.
The other problem for the Clintons is that there are new generations and large sectors of the population who moved past racism and xenophobia. Though unlikely to succeed, this evil strategy is Hillary’s only chance.
WOW! That sounds insanely crazy to be lying like this to the public mang. She has balls. Once again proving that she would do anything to win, anything. She’s very inconsistent with her statements, why can’t a lot of people see that. WAKE UP PEEEPS
You are taking Senator Clinton’s “lies” about where her daughter was on 9/11, and who she was named after and comparing them to President Bush’s lies? Comparing stupid family stories to straightforward fabrications which took us into a war where 4000 Americans and many times that number of Iraqis have died, our economy is drained and indebted for the foreseeable future, our rights are trampled upon and rescinded, and our international reputation is more disgraceful than ever?
You make yourself look ridiculous by pointing to actions and claims which a decent person would dismiss as mistake, puffery, or campaign hyperbole and instead equate those actions with the deadly, traitorous, and criminal actions of the current administration. Obviously, your dislike for Senator Clinton has overwhelmed your capacity for rational judgment. Maybe you should think before you do the right wing’s dirty work by spewing any more of their tired talking points.
It’s more of a “spin” than a mistake…make no bonees about it…everything that the Clintons do is well calculated…they don’t make MISTAKES —these are two brilliant people…their whole relationship has been political—But let’s agree to disagree with Evano who says it is a mistake…if so…there have been too many mistakes with the Clinton’s…starting with their WH years to present. In reality…for the average Joe…these mistakes are just plain LIES. To add to her recent lies…she claims she never said that she and McCain are qualifed to be president…while insinuating that Obama was not…she claims she never said this…but it is on tape…is she dividing the Dem party…absolutely…she and McCain???? Obama has never once said anything that would hurt a Democrate to get the nomination…and there is so much public dirt on the Clinton’s that he could readily use…but he does not…do you not think that the Republican’s will be as nice….???? They realish the thought of Hillary winning…she has not seen “vented” yet!!!
People wake uo…all the mud that is being thrown at Obama is connected to the Clintons. They want to win this election big time and they will do anything to do it. Although the Black vote was important to them in the first Clinton WH years…they figure that they don’t need it now…if they can rally ALL white folks around them…they are willing to sacrafice the Black vote…so they devised the strategy to throw race into the arena…first Bill Clinton…and when that back-fired…they just let folks from their campaign do it…and then say they didn’t know anything about it.
Barack Obama only became BLACK when he was winning…and winning big time…before that she didn’t care…now she is trying to divide the country…counting on Hispanic and White voters.
As far as Rev. Wright…his words are not Barack Obama’s words. Who brought this 12/25/2007 tape to the forefront in March 2008…where did it come from…my bet is that the Clinton’s had EVERYTHING to do with this coming out at this time…of course they will deny it…but that is what they do best…”I did not have sexual relation ships with that woman”…remember that…the biggest denial of all times…I belong to a church that at least once a month my Pastor will make some sort of revelation that I don’t agree with him on…and I am sure many others have the same experience…I have not left the church because of it…there is more to being a member of a church than just your relationship with your Pastor…Get over it…Rev. Wright’s opinions are not Barack Obama’s…Obama is a good person…he joined this church as a young age…and accepted Jesus as his Lord and Savior…that should be what matters…that he accepted Jesus…not that his Pastor has some harsh words to say about America…when 911 happened…a lot of Black Churches were saying the same thing about God Blessing America…and for the same reason…God LOVES all of us…but His Blessings are upon those who are following His word…to be caring, compassionate, honesty, loyal and treating all the same way.
By Rev. Wright staing his (and only his) opinion does not make him a racist…no…but in trying to teach the Word of God, at times he may equate what the Good Book is saying with a Black experience…come on people…it’s real…it may not be right…but it is a reality.
Barack Obama is not perfect…nor is any one else…the one and only PERFECT person that walked the earth was Jesus…Obama, like most of us has made some mistakes in his youth that he may not be proud of…but he probably won’t do them again…or maybe he will…George Bush had a drinking problem in his youth (????) Obama deserves a chance to show America that we can unite…that we are ONE NATION UNDER GOD…that we can all acheive the AMERICAN DREAM…that we are EQUAL…no matter what race, religion, gender or nationality…
Let’s face it…we had 100’s of years trying to get things done the old way…and nothing gets done…we only come together as a nation under a crisis situation..and even then we don’t agree. In order to make sure that this GREAT NATION is looked upon by the rest of the WORLD as a GREAT NATION…we need to clean house and get someone in the WH that has a vision and understands that the only way we are going to accomplish any of this is to UNITE the Parties together…
Does Obama have enough EXPERIENCE…ABSOLUTELY…as his wife pointed out — he is BRILLANT…he was the first Black President of the Law Review…after law school, he could have gone to any large Law Firm…but he chose to work in the slums and lower, middle income communities to help folks in need…besides this he has more years in office…given his years as a Il State Senator and US Senator, than Senator Clinton. She counts her years as the first Lady…those were to her husband’s credit…not hers…she didn’t make any executive decisions…that is Bill’s legacy…She did some good…worked for some good causes…but so did Obama…why is her work more relative than his????
For as many folks that rally around her regarding her foreign policy, health-care, education…etc., Obama has just as many…that are just as qualified…this doesn’t make her more ready on DAY ONE…it’s just an opinion…it will really be based upon those folks that they choose as cabinet members for advise. No GOOD President makes all the decisions themselves…they need good people around them…advising them…supporting them…Hillary is a good person…but it is time to move on…to a newer, fresher, more exciting way of doing things…the Clinton’s had their day…it’s time to move over and past the touch to another generation. “Yes We Can”
oh MY lORD, cHARLIE bROWN while I agree Obama is not a great candidate, I can not in any way agree that hillary whould be a good president, as far as beating McCain, I don’t see it there is so much to be used against hillary she is a cronic liar and just says what people want to hear seach the net for hillary lies… there is a ton much like the gore bull shit……for the dems to have a chance they need to find a real Honest person a real American Hillary is a liar and a joke.
I find racist people like you so amusing. They are the symbol of pure ignorance and stay the stupidest things. Just became Obama is a musllim, it does not mean that he’s a terrorist. Not all musilms follow hatured or committ/support genocide. As for that genocide comment, he’s not the one who threatened to obliterate Iran. That would be Hilary Clinton.
