Remember when John Kerry was in Cambodia on Christmas?

How did that work out for him. We don't need a slippery weasel like him as a nominee.

Did he really write a book “Journeys in Black and White”?

1. Hillary Clinton lied as a staff member of the House Judiciary Committee

Dan Calabrese reveals in his column that former general counsel and chief of staff of the House Judiciary Committee, Jerry Zeifman, indicated that he fired the 27 year old Hillary Rodham from the House Judiciary Committee staff and refused to give her a letter of recommendation due to her lying and unethical conduct. Zeifman said that during the Watergate investigation Hillary lied in a legal brief, them removed evidence from public access that would document her conduct.

2. Hillary Clinton lied about flying into Bosina under sniper fire

“I remember landing under sniper fire,” she said in Washington on Monday. “There was supposed to be some kind of a greeting ceremony at the airport, but instead we just ran with our heads down to get into the vehicles to get to our base.”

News footage of the event however showed her claims to have been wide of the mark, and reporters who accompanied her stated that there was no sniper fire. Her account was ridiculed by ABC News as “like a scene from Saving Private Ryan”.

3. Hillary Clinton Misrepresented her Record opposing the Iraq War

In Eugene, Ore., Saturday, April 5, 2008, Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., attempted to change the measure by which anyone might assess who criticized the Iraq war first, her or Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., 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.

4. Hillary Clinton Misrepresented her Role in the Irish Peace Accord

The historian Tim Pat Coogan told The Chicago Tribune: “It was a nice thing to see her there, with the women’s groups. It helped, I suppose. But it was ancillary to the main thing. It was part of the stage effects, the optics.” Former SDLP man Brian Feeney said pithily: “The road to peace was carefully documented, and she wasn’t on it.”

5. Hillary Clinton Misrepresented the extent to which her daughter was in danger on 9/11

Clinton said Chelsea had gone on “what she thought was going to be a great jog. She was going to go down to Battery Park, she was going to go around the towers. She went to get a cup of coffee and, and, that’s when the plane hit.”

Responding to a question about whether her daughter heard the “rumble,” Clinton said, “She did hear it.”

Weeks later, Chelsea Clinton told a magazine that she was in an apartment 12 blocks away when the first plane hit. A UPI article said she was outdoors closer to the site when “she heard the rumble of the second tower collapsing.”

6. Hillary Clinton Claimed she was named after Sir Edmund Hillary

During a stop in Nepal while on a south Asian goodwill tour in April 1995, First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton engaged in a brief (and reportedly coincidental) meeting with Sir Edmund Hillary (who, along with Tenzing Norgay, became the first person to reach the summit of the world’s highest mountain, Mt. Everest, in 1953) and told reporters she had been named after the famed mountain climber. The notion that Ms. Clinton’s given name was inspired by the man who conquered Everest was almost certainly a bit of fiction invented for political expediency (as many critics have noted, Edmund Hillary didn’t become world-famous until six years after Hillary Rodham was born).

““Barack Obama was either born in Kenya or he lied about it for years.” That�€™s `question begging�€™. He says now that he was born in Hawaii.”

We can say okay so he was born in Hawaii, but then that means he lied received many financial benefits and affirmative action based on a fraud.

I still do think his father really is Frank Marshall Davis.

Good question.

“Obama’s biography features a brief mention of his anticipated first book, “Journeys in Black and White,” which he never completed”

A funny thing happened on the way to the Chicago bath house ... and he lost interest.

OK, I see it put that way. He put himself in a liar’s trap by trying to have it both ways.
That’s the problem with lying: you always have to remember what you said.

“Frank Marshall” Barky Obama was either born a bastard or he lied about it for years.

Double standards might be dealt with reason and vigilance. This is propaganda and manipulation. Until there is a price that outweighs the benefits to the gaslighters, it’s going to get worse.

When we have the likes of FReepers using this Politico hit piece to also attack Carson...yes it will most certainly get worse!

We make the Leftists job so much easier.

We need to dig up a body or two and get him on the Maury Povich show.
Invite Chelsea Clinton while we’re at it. I’m convinced Webb Hubbell is the rooster in that story!

With the possible exception of the left’s die hard, carved in stone base these attempts by the liberal media are turning out to be counter productive as all they do is reinforce the rest of the population’s belief that the MSM is a corrupt arm of the Democrat Party and complicit in its objectives.

"The leftist are hypocritical liars. It is what they do."

If it weren't for the double standard the media would not have any standards. Thank fully not many thinking people believe the media any longer.

0bama hasn’t been good for the country, and Carson wouldn’t be any better.

Carson would certainly be orders of magnitude better than Obama. Obama is an ignorant, lazy, stupid, mouthy, little man-child.

Carson is an intelligent, knowledgeable, brilliant Doctor, and I believe morally superior to Obama in every possible way.

You are just wrong to claim he wouldn't be any better. He might not be the best of our choices, (he's too nice) but he is certainly a far better choice than Idiot Mouth Obama.

It’s beyond media bias. It’s gaslighting, and it’s done both willfully and brazenly.

Double standards might be dealt with reason and vigilance. This is propaganda and manipulation. Until there is a price that outweighs the benefits to the gaslighters, it’s going to get worse.

The media ought to be the primary enemy of the Republican party. We should be actively seeking to impoverish and imprison those people who have manipulated the public into supporting these disastrous liars like Obama.

The Media has blood on it's hands, and we ought to be trying to figure out how to make them pay for what they have done. Destroying them isn't enough. We need to be making them live in fear for the horror they have created by manipulating the public.

The media needs payback.

The best way to do that would be to accumulate a list of questions any specific so-called journalist has asked any democrat. They they should contrast those questions with any offending ones directed at republicans. Come to any interaction with the “press” armed with the quotes.

“This situation clearly shows, in this case, that there is no liberal media bias, only good reporting as it should be.”

This is one place I cut Barry some slack. I doubt he knows who his father is. Mom was tramping all over the world and probably doesn’t know who knocked her up.

Republican candidates should refuse to answer MSM questions of their past or character, saying the MSM doesn’t asks such questions of Obama or Clinton, therefore they have no right to ask such questions of other candidates.

The campaigns should note that they are willing to answer any questions asked of Clinton/Obama, as well as questions about real issues in this campaign.
