Clinton Makes False Claim About Her Iraq Record Vs. Obama's

ABC's Political Punch:

In Eugene, Oregon, Saturday. Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-NY, attempted to change the measure by which anyone might assess who criticized the Iraq war first, her or Sen. Barack Obama, D-Illinois, by saying those keeping records should start in January 2005, when Obama joined the Senate. (A measure that conveniently avoids her October 2002 vote to authorize use of force against Iraq at a time that Obama was speaking out against the war.) She claimed that using that measure she criticized the war in Iraq before Obama did.

But Clinton's claim was false.

Hillary, the war, and the group she adhered to:

I find it sad that so many people see Hillary as the one who will save them. Too many people think she will bring back the 90's clinton years. Bill lucked out with tte dot coms and life was good while they were wildly spending. The implosion came after they left kind of like Greenspan but they left earlier becaue they had to. The 90's were before the savings and loans were found to be playing the books? I wonder how much we really got from the 90's that was good. We found out the president would lie to us on tv and do the finger wag. Hillary has voted since getting the Senate seat on Bill's tails only in ways to promote her president run. The war vote was to show us she had brass ones and would bomb people and they didn't have to be those who attacked us. She has gone all over these united states and MSM has let her tell her version of what she is for or againest depending on where she was at the time. She cried foul when they did their jobs and they backed off. I want this done and I hope it finishes the way we voted not the way is was stolen by the clinton and their threats/promises.

Are there any candidates for POTUS, be they current or historical, that have exceeded Sen. Clinton's frightening zeal, or some might say, lustful yearning, for said position?

[Denni]

WHY does she do these things, WHY!?!?!? Then her camp wonders why her integrity is so badly damaged!

[Independent voter]

Keep on vomiting hatred and lies hillary. Your constituents love it

[faretheewell]

If you liked George W. Bush, you willl LOVE HILLARY!

Her lying, obfiscation, and historical revisionism are truly an art form. Unlike lil Georgie, who due to a severly limited intellect could not convincingly lie, Hillary is a master at the art form.

[deejsmom]

amen!

[Plowboy]

There is, however, a big flaw in her lying. While she can lie with the same sincerity that she can speak the truth, she is careless about what is easilt known by others.
Her birthdate and the date of Sir Edmund Hillary's Everest climb are known facts. Eventually somebody had to notice that lie.
Her Bosnia sniper fire story had to be refuted sometime by someone viewing the tape of her actual reception. (Those thinngs are always taped.)
And so with all too many other of her lies. A good liar not only sounds sincere but checks that his claim isn't silly or counter to commonly known facts. (Which is why, when I'm at the bar I never claim to have quarterbacked the Giants to an NFL championship.)
So, in my humble opinion, Hillary is a lousy liar. She tells too many without profit, too many easily exposed as false, and too many that sound too much like tall tales.

[SeagirlX]

I'm surprised she doesn't feel embarrassed by now with all this lying and flip-flopping.

[Independent voter]

It has has no morals. It has no shame. It has no principals.

It only has an unbridled lust for power. Anything that gets in the way gets destroyed - and that includes the people.

[xcrunner77]

Is a Clinton making a false statement really news anymore? The real news headline would be "Hillary Clinton tells the truth."

[BlazingChalice]

One last Hurrah for bra burning feministas­!!!!!!!!!!­!!

[Independent voter]

Hey - I like bra burning. It makes it easier to see a great set of nipples.

[VivaZapata]

she was against the war before she voted to authorize it. sounds vaguely familiar.

[Kalima]

I feel sorry for the future of America, if after the recent revelations about her outright lies,
this fails to resonate in her group of voters. It's as hard to ignore as a boil on the nose.

[ChimpmasterDJ]

One would think so, wouldn't one? And yet, remember Jonestown? Remind you of anyone?

The Clintonistas have made it plain that they don't care what their idol says or does, it's all about winning, and it's all about the ovaries.

Poor Hillary, her lies and desperation have become embarrassing to watch. What is it she still doesn't get?

[filo]

WOW That's a long list. Some of them I have no problem. Who gets a Presidential pardon for odometer rollback? The real question is how did all those people come to the attention of the President?

[Independent voter]

Marc Rich's wife got the president's attention through a $500,000 bribe paid directly to the clintons

[RandyRP]

It's three 3:00am really. I am about to read the news, what new lie will HRC be caught in?

[jsinclair]

This is another big lie, in a way even worse than Bosnia, because she lies about Obama, too. He spoke against the war to Rice, in the Senate, days before Hillary wrote her comments about it.

Of course her definition of "opposition" (it only counts once you're a senator) is absolutely absurd.

I hope this story makes it back to the top of the page. The MSM really hasn't picked it up yet, and it's an important lie--again--from Hillary. People should know. (Likewise, they should know if she sent Penn to Colombia to tell the president she had different views on trade than she expresses in the campaign).

[YWCYWC]

This mis-speak on Iraq came out when she was thrown for a loop and someone in the audience asked a question off scrpit. When she hasn't rehearsed her lines the true Hillary comes out.
