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.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: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.
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?Via Legal Insurrection a useful video: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.
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.The families remember things differently.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 . . ."

Won’t matter when the brainless minions are focused on Trump.
H->! is apparently the role model for the GOPee.
OH this is disgraceful...this is something that America doesn’t put up with, 4 Americans were killed because of her and obuma...are we going to put up with that?
I think we need to put a full campaign against her, we have all the articles we need...
We don’t let someone in her disgraced position slander our American dead...NEVER!!!
Her Royal Hipness is lying, or incompetent. Either way she should not be president.
excellent posting, thanks, and that Hillarity campaign poster is TERRRRRIFF! Thanks
Do you remember the story about the burglar in Florida who was killed by an alligator?
He called his girlfriend and let her know he was going to be busy stealing for awhile.
Did she call the police?
No, because he was stealing for her.
And there you have the poster child for Democrat voters.
Yes, they know the Democrat politicians are liars and thieves, but they are hoping that those Democrat politicians will steal some for them.
The Democrat Party is organized crime.
Bill ranks right up there with her in my opinion, as the serial rapist he is alleged to be.
Hillary’s lies have advanced her well so far. As the saying goes, if you have a good horse, ride it.
She is both, and even an incompetent liar.
Not to mention the traitor he is ... you do know about his sale of every US secret he could get his hands on to the Chinese for campaign cash? This is the model she will follow if elected.
i can’t say what she is without risking expulsion from FR for foul language
Trump will make mincemeat of Hellary, she hasn’t a chance when the TV debates begin....she will come across as the simpleton she always has been.
