Hillary Even Lies About Lying

In her first interview on Fox News Sunday in 5 years, Hillary Clinton responded to a Chris Wallace question about her questionable honesty regarding her email server, with this answer:

“Director Comey said my answers were truthful, and what I’ve said is consistent with what I have told the American people, that there were decisions discussed and made to classify retroactively certain of the emails.”

Hours later, the not hardly right-leaning Washington Post critiqued the answer with the following:

Four Pinocchios, which is the maximum lying factor that anyone can receive from the "Post".

Just more proof that she is a habitual and serial liar on her email server controversy-----and a lot of other issues.

Taqiyya (Lying) and Why Iran Can't Be Trusted on Anything

President Obama mistakenly seems to think that we can "honestly" come to an agreement with Iran in order to minimize their nuclear bomb ambitions.  What he fails to understand is that the Prophet Muhammad preached that taqiyya (lying) is moral and good when dealing with an enemy such as the United States.  Here are the Prophet's own words in support of lying:

"Lying is wrong, except in three things: the lie of a man to his wife to make her content with him; a lie to an enemy, for war is deception; or a lie to settle trouble between people (Ahmad, 6.459. H)"

This is why, for decades now, Iran has done nothing but lie to us about their nuclear program.  Consistently, they have told us that it is for the peaceful use of producing electricity and in aiding medical treatment. They have signed several agreements while denying their nuclear weapons program.  And, there is no reason to believe they aren't lying to us now in our current round of negotiations.

Will Brian Williams Further Damage Trust in NBC's Nightly News?

There is an old saying: "The cover up is always worse than the lie [or crime]." That could very well be true with regard to the recently exposed lying of NBC News Anchor Brian Williams.

Accurate reporting is the one thing that most Americans expect from their news sources.  In a January 30th release of their annual polling on trusted names in the news, Public Policy Polling found the following results:

"35% of Americans say they trust Fox News more than any other TV news outlet, followed by 14% for PBS, 11% for ABC, 10% for CNN, 9% for CBS, 6% each for Comedy Central and MSNBC, and 3% for NBC."

Trust in NBC was already polling dead last at just 3%; and, this was before the Williams "lying" scandal even broke.  So, now we know that Brian Williams had a habit of greatly embellishing stories to, I suppose, improve his image or brand.  But, what we also found out is that NBC's management had known of their Williams-problem for years and allowed it to continue.  In fact, they even promoted him to Managing Editor so he could oversee all news reporting for that network.  That's more than just a cover up and a fact that may very well further damage what little trust NBC News was left.

Lastly, in another study released a year ago, only 15% of those under age 30 could even recognize Brian Williams when shown a picture of him.  Now, thanks to his own attempts to elevate his image, I'm quite sure that there are a lot more than 15% who know who he is; and, not in a good way.

Mr. Obama, Lying Has Consequences

Many people have shed their rose colored glasses when it comes to trusting Barack Obama.  It has definitely showed up in the polls with his approval numbers now hovering around 40%, and, it all stems from his lying.  Lying about his writing the book "Dreams of my Father" when, in fact, Bill Ayers "ghost wrote" that book.  Then, lying about his casual acquaintance with Ayers.  You know, the guy that wrote his book and launched his senatorial campaign from his home.  Then, there were all those ObamaCare lies regarding keeping your insurance and your doctor; and, how it won't add one penny to the deficit or, how it would lower your costs for health insurance.

Of course, there was also the lie about Benghazi being caused by a video.  Then, there was the extent of the IRS scandal; saying that it was just a few rogue people in the Cleveland office.  Or, lying about the extent of the NSA spying and how, supposedly, American's aren't in the NSA's spying net.  So, it's no wonder that, people couldn't care less when he gave his speech on changes to the NSA's manual on spying.  According to a recent Pew poll, only 8% were interested enough in what Obama had to say by listening to his whole speech.  Of those, 73% thought that the President's changes would make little difference in keeping American's privacy safe and, 79% thought the changes wouldn't have any measurable impact on out fight against terrorism.  That same poll said that more than half of those polled didn't hear anything about the President's speech.

If these numbers don't show Obama as being a lame-duck President; then, nothing will.

Yeah, Yeah...That's it!

Years ago, the comedian Jon Lovitz would appear on Saturday Night Live in his totally laughable role as Tommy Flanagan, the President of the Pathological Liars Club. He would end each new lie with "Yeah, Yeah...That's it!"

I thought is was a great routine. A classic.

However, when Hillary Clinton does the same thing, I'm not laughing. I just wish that "when" she was into one of her patented lies, she would take a cue from Jon Lovitz and finish it with that very Tommy Flanagan-esque "Yeah, yeah.. That's It!" For example, when talking about Chelsea on 9/11, she could have said something like "I am not just a Senator from New York. ..and.. and...a... I'm a mother whose daughter was in danger on 9/11... and.... yeah...yeah...that's it...and...yeah...Chelsea was roller skating around the World Trade Center and...yeah..yeah... that's it... and..and..a....she stopped in a cafe to have some coffee...and...a...yeah, that's it..and....she heard the first plane hit...yeah...that's it..."

Of course, we all know, today, that Chelsea was well far and away and safe from the events of 9/11 on that fateful day.

My problem with Hillary's lying is that we are trying to elect a President and not trying to reprise Tommy Flanagan. Let's leave the lies home. As a matter of fact, let's just send Hillary home with them!
