It was nearly twenty years ago. William Safire had her pegged. He said Hillary Clinton was a “congenital liar.”
Americans of all political persuasions are coming to the sad realization that our First Lady — a woman of undoubted talents who was a role model for many in her generation — is a congenital liar.
Drip by drip, like Whitewater torture, the case is being made that she is compelled to mislead, and to ensnare her subordinates and friends in a web of deceit.
1. Remember the story she told about studying The Wall Street Journal to explain her 10,000 percent profit in 1979 commodity trading? We now know that was a lie told to turn aside accusations that as the Governor’s wife she profited corruptly, her account being run by a lawyer for state poultry interests through a disreputable broker.
She lied for good reason: To admit otherwise would be to confess taking, and paying taxes on, what some think amounted to a $100,000 bribe.
2. The abuse of Presidential power known as Travelgate elicited another series of lies. She induced a White House lawyer to assert flatly to investigators that Mrs. Clinton did not order the firing of White House travel aides, who were then harassed by the F.B.I. and Justice Department to justify patronage replacement by Mrs. Clinton’s cronies.
Now we know, from a memo long concealed from investigators, that there would be “hell to pay” if the furious First Lady’s desires were scorned. The career of the lawyer who transmitted Hillary’s lie to authorities is now in jeopardy. Again, she lied with good reason: to avoid being identified as a vindictive political power player who used the F.B.I. to ruin the lives of people standing in the way of juicy patronage.
3. In the aftermath of the apparent suicide of her former partner and closest confidant, White House Deputy Counsel Vincent Foster, she ordered the overturn of an agreement to allow the Justice Department to examine the files in the dead man’s office. Her closest friends and aides, under oath, have been blatantly disremembering this likely obstruction of justice, and may have to pay for supporting Hillary’s lie with jail terms.
In a recent Quinnipiac poll voters were asked to describe Hillary Clinton in a single word and the word they chose was “liar.” There were others, of course:
Of 1,563 voters surveyed by Quinnipiac University, 178 said “liar” was the first thing that popped into their heads in association with Clinton — followed by 123 who chose “dishonest” and 93 who said “untrustworthy.”
Even the loathsome Linda Stasi of the New York Daily News nailed Hillary:
Question: Is it worse for a news anchor to lie about being forced down by enemy fire in Iraq than it is for a perennial presidential candidate to lie about ducking sniper fire — with her young daughter, yet — in Bosnia?
Both are horrible, but it’s worse for Hillary Clinton, who expects to run the country, to lie about something like this than it is for a blow-dried TV anchor to lie.
The fact that Brian Williams and Clinton (inset with daughter) thought they’d get away with their outrageous war stories despite there being living, breathing witnesses, video and now social media, is bizarrely disturbing. The hubris of the famous in believing that they can get away with lying forever because they are above it all never fails to astound. And never fails to happen.
Via Legal Insurrection a useful video:
[youtube]https://youtu.be/8k1-PdKfKX0[/youtube]
Lists of Hillary Clinton lies can be found here and here.
She wanted to join the Marines.
She wanted to be an Astronaut.
Clinton has claimed that she got a letter from NASA Public Affairs that stated that the space agency was not taking women astronauts, a slap in the face of her girlhood ambitions to be an astronaut. Oberg, having researched the matter thoroughly, cannot find a copy of the letter or even an example of such a letter, which is to say that females need not apply.
But now she has sunk to a new low. She is accusing the families of the Benghazi dead of being liars.
Liar, liar, pantsuit on fire: Hillary Clinton still insists she didn’t tell the grieving families of the Benghazi victims that an anti-Islam video was to blame.
Yet family members say she said just that, three days after the attack, at the Sept. 14, 2012, ceremony at Andrews Air Force Base.
George Stephanopoulos asked her Sunday if she’d told the victims it was about the film. Clinton gave a flat “no.”
She added: “I said very clearly there had been a terrorist group, uh, that had taken responsibility on Facebook, um . . .”
The families remember things differently.
Tyrone Woods’ father said he hugged Clinton and shook her hand. Then “she said we are going to have the filmmaker arrested who was responsible for the death of my son . . . She said ‘the filmmaker who was responsible for the death of your son.’ ”
Sean Smith’s mother said Hillary is “absolutely lying . . . She said it was because of the video.” Smith’s uncle backs her up.
Glen Doherty’s sister agreed: “When I think back now to that day and what she knew, it shows me a lot about her character that she would choose in that moment to basically perpetuate what she knew was untrue.”
It’s one thing to claim that at the age of six you were named after Sir Edmund Hillary. It’s quite another to call the grieving families of the dead liars.
Perhaps it’s no surprise coming from someone who sleeps through meetings, is often confused, can’t remember how many devices is more than one, and has suffered brain damage. She’s absolutely a liar. The question is, does she even understand that?
I told you it would be a problem.
DrJohn has been a health care professional for more than 40 years. In addition to clinical practice he has done extensive research and has published widely with over 70 original articles and abstracts in the peer-reviewed literature. DrJohn is well known in his field and has lectured on every continent except for Antarctica. He has been married to the same wonderful lady for over 45 years and has three kids- two sons, both of whom are attorneys and one daughter who is in the field of education.
DrJohn was brought up with the concept that one can do well if one is prepared to work hard but nothing in life is guaranteed.
Except for liberals being foolish.
@Me, #97:
Stupidity tends to make the stupid blind to their own affliction.
Anyone who isn’t stupid will have observed and understood long before now that deliberate, highly public insults directed toward Islam in general or Mohammed in particular will predictably result in violent reactions on the part of Islamic extremists. With that understanding comes the ability to use broadcast and social media to deliberately manufacture large-scale incidents.
The Innocence of Muslims was produced in the United States and broadcast on U.S. social media. Not much happened. The dubbed Arabic language dialogue differed from the original scripted dialogue and was calculated to be highly offensive to Muslims. That dubbed version was released through Arabic language broadcast media and social media in early September, 2012. It’s highly unlikely that the timing was coincidental. It was almost certainly timed to play into demonstrations that were expected on or around the anniversary of 9/11. Basically, someone contrived a way to flip matches at an open powder keg with the intention of setting off an explosion. They were successful, producing a chain reaction of explosions.
We either understand how this sort of manipulation works, or we remain vulnerable to endless repetition. Much of ISIS’s power has resulted from their sophisticated understanding and use of social media as a recruiting tool and weapon. Are you not aware of that fact?
“That evening, some 15 hours after the Egyptian protests began, the “Innocence of Muslims” YouTube trailer, posted way back in July, had garnered only 1,000 views. It should have been viral by then, but it is doubtful that many Muslims had even heard of the film. ”
http://www.aim.org/aim-column/innocence-film-a-premeditated-provocation-for-islamic-terror/
1000 people had seen the video in the whole world. I guess they were all in that crowd.
Clinton herself didn’t believe it was the video–she said so herself in her contact to her daughter that night.
Why are her fans so freaking thick?
So is the rise of ISIS since the embassy attack fueled by this trailer for a movie? How many times have we seen the maker of that film’s name on signs in the Middle East, calling for his death? How many times has ISIS demanded the destruction of all copies of the film or they will lop off a head every day until it happens? Since the embassy attack, how many times has this movie come up in any way?
I guess they got it all out of their system that night, all of them, across the world, who were insulted, just woke up the next morning, feeling refreshed, and no longer offended.
@Greg: Hillary told Chelsea via email that the video had nothing to do with the attack. Are you not aware of THAT fact? I suppose you probably are, as your stupidity and blind adherence to the Clinton Crime Syndicate rears its ugly head yet again!
@JSW: Well it wasn’t like a cartoon or something as serious as that.
And I guess the”ambassador” by accident got into the state departments spam file.
And oh dickens more missing emails from IT guys that plead the 5th, how does this administration have so many email and back-up issues??????
@JSW, #52:
The low number of YouTube views of the English-language version posted in July 2012 is totally irrelevant. What mattered was the broadcast of the dubbed version with a far more insulting Arabic soundtrack on Arabic-language television and on Arabic-language social media during the days leading up to 9/11.
Citing the number of YouTube English-language views is deliberately misleading. This has been done frequently by sources attempting to convince people of the absurd claim that such a deliberately insulting provocation for some odd reason suddenly didn’t matter to Islamic fundamentalists in the least. This is a ridiculous notion. We really are talking about people who go collectively and totally ballistic over an editorial cartoon, aren’t we?
@JSW, #53:
What I said is that the rise of ISIS has resulted, in part, from their highly skillful use of social media and the internet. There’s absolutely no question about this being one source of their power. Any effective defense against it depends on fully understanding how they exploit that vulnerability.
@kitt: Hillary’s weird answer about imagining the ambassador sending that email while laughing, or making jokes about taking left-over barriers from the British, are chilling. I think the last appearance on Capitol Hill is going to come back to haunt her, because she revealed so much.
Greg: I’ll give you the release of the dubbed version, but I don’t understand why Hillary’s fans claim the video was responsible when HILLARY says it wasn’t. According to her, the release of the video is beside the point.
STEPHANOPOULOS: Did you tell them it was about the film? And what’s your response?
CLINTON: No. You know, look I understand the continuing grief at the loss that parents experienced with the loss of these four brave Americans. And I did testify, as you know, for 11 hours. And I answered all of these questions. Now, I can’t — I can’t help it the people think there has to be something else there. I said very clearly there had been a terrorist group, uh, that had taken responsibility on Facebook, um, between the time that, uh, I – you know, when I talked to my daughter, that was the latest information; we were, uh, giving it credibility. And then we learned the next day it wasn’t true. In fact, they retracted it. This was a fast-moving series of events in the fog of war and I think most Americans understand that.
Have you even ever looked at Arab language ”dubbing” of English-language videos?
Those are NOT ”translations,” so much as mad-libs.
It’s like those ”bad lip reading” comedy videos.
Who knows if the televised video was covering the movie with anything even approaching accuracy?
Did you happen to see how Arab-speaking Muslims added three pornographically filthy ”cartoons” to the innocent ones the newspaper in Denmark published?
Yikes!
I’d have rioted myself!
They were awful!
@Greg: Greg, most people lie for a reason. While it could be that Obama and Hillary simply LIKE to lie, it is pretty obvious that they lied about the video being the cause for the Benghazi attack for a reason… POLITICS. It’s that simple.
Intelligence told them it was a terror attack. The reports from the ground in real time were that it was a terror attack. The discussion of using the video as an excuse to cover for a “failure” is documented. Hillary had already acknowledged it was a terror attack even as she remained silent as Susan Rice rolled out the administration BS and she lied to the grieving faces of the survivors.
Greg, the facts are indisputable and you will find them above. Stop it. Just stop it. You are embarrassing yourself.
Unfortunately it’s not difficult to misrepresent the content of foreign language videos with deceptive dubbing or subtitles. (Vulgar language alert. Don’t click if easily offended.)
@Bill, #59:
What’s the immediately obvious difference between a demonstration that turns violent and a planned terrorist attack—particularly where a bloody civil war has left various factions in possession of easily transportable military weapons? How do you distinguish between an angry mob turned lynch-mob and a carefully laid plan? Things are seldom so clear in the moment as they are in retrospect.
What I observe are unceasing efforts on the right to spin any and every news event into an opportunity to attack its political enemies. One thing that you most definitely don’t get out of that is objectivity.
“What I observe are unceasing efforts on the right to spin any and every news event into an opportunity to attack its political enemies. One thing that you most definitely don’t get out of that is objectivity.”
The RIGHT does this, while the left does what–simply comments on ‘reality’ without spin, never using every news event as an opportunity to attack its enemies?
Really?
“Things are seldom so clear in the moment as they are in retrospect.”
STEPHANOPOULOS: Did you tell them it was about the film?
CLINTON: No.

Is that the eagle at the start that took one look at Donald Trump and instantly attempted to snap his nose off? It probably thought he was wearing a bird’s nest for a hat.
Here’s somebody on good terms with an eagle.
@JSW: Yeah, no spin from the left. No blaming an obscure video for a disaster caused, not by an intelligence failure, but from a failure to HEED intelligence. Or, perhaps, to have any. None of that. Noooooooooooo…….
@Greg: Greggie are you blaming the terrorist attack in Benghazi on the video?? Funny even Hilldabeast and Obola had to give up on this lie and admit the truth that it was a terrorist attack!! Then again even though Obola admitted he lied about his health insurance scam you still can’t admit the did!! Pathetic Greggie!!

The families of the Benghazi dead are not liars, Hillary Rodham Clinton is.
lmao, Killery working so hard like a busy little beaver for the banksters and the pathological narcissistic insane zionist criminals trying to take over planet earth via agenda 21 and the new world order by screwing over the American Military and the American People..
I cant believe how frigging stupid she is, she actually believes they love her and need her, But when she is finished doing their filthy dirty work, they will throw her into the shark tank. Which is exactly what she will deserve.
What ever makes her think that they love an need her so bad? is it the money and jewels the freaking zionist embellish her with? is it because she actually believes they will protect her when its all said and done? or does she think they will stand besides her through it all? What a Joke, not even her criminal husband stands besides her, will jump into bed with anything that will spread their legs or open their mouth for him. lol.
WILL SHE LEARN BEFORE ITS TOO LATE, I don’t think so, she is not to bright, you can say she is a moron.
