    Yep and so is Obama, but he is getting the kid glove
    treatment. He is more of a liar than Hillary. He has been
    caught how many times in lies and they were all brushed
    under the rung. The man of change....yeah, you bet.

    So can we get the Hillary/Obama haters to set the record straight. They are now claiming that anyone who has lied in their past is excluded from being President. Correct? or is this one of those selective outrage things again? For some reason I have a feeling the cowards won't respond but I have long figured out hypocrites won't ever go on the record..

    Interesting. This seems to be making the blog rounds, but I was unable to find any real corrobaration by an outside source yet, i.e. all the hits in search engines seem to be copy and pastes, with no real fact-checking done by a second en y.

    Not to be too dramatic, but this would, if true, be a heavy blow, if not a fatal one, to her campaign.

    So much for her "I've already been vetted" claim. This is new to me.

    I will ultimately withhold judgment on this until more investigation is done into it and it's veracity can be independently confirmed.

    Source? Please provide a link.

    Links, Ha! Read the paper and listen to a little news other
    than the left wing. Obama changes his stories like he
    changes his socks, daily. The 100 year thing about
    McCain. His relationship with the Minister. His response
    to a left wing liberal questioneer. Links my foot. You
    disprove what I said with your dumb links.

    And then you have old GGA saying: "So can we get the Hillary/Obama haters to set the record straight. They are now claiming that anyone who has lied in their past is excluded from being President. Correct? or is this one of those selective outrage things again? For some reason I have a feeling the cowards won't respond but I have long figured out hypocrites won't ever go on the record.."

    Who said they were disqualified and should be excluded.
    I just don't want to hear you folks saying they are purer
    than the driven snow and that they want to make real
    change. The only damn change they want to make is
    for higher taxes and more government programs. Just
    be honest, yourself, about what Obama and Hillary
    really want. Both of them are dumb as a doorknob
    about everything that they attempt to talk about without
    a script. Consider me on record.

    so you are ok with liars if they are conservatives? or is your probelm with the liars who proclaim to be "more pure than the white driven snow"? It's hard to actually understand your logic.. seems to me that your logical thought applies differently depending on political affiliation..

    Ray's logic set consists of the following rules:

    "If it is unflattering and about a liberal, it must be true."

    "If it is unflattering and about a conservative, it must be false."

    "If it is unflattering and about a conservative, I will never bring it up and do my best to forget it."

    "If it is unflattering and about a liberal, I will bring it up at every opportunity and do my best to spin it as negatively as possible when doing so."

    "I will believe no ill of a conservative."

    "I will believe ill of any liberal."

    All information Ray reads/hears passes through this filtration process.

    (shrugs)

    I don't dislike ray, I just wish he would set aside his emotions sometime and be a bit more fair when it comes to looking at the world. I like him, but am embarassed sometimes for his total lack of critical thinking.

    Keep this in mind. The liberal mainstream media will not report such things against a popular democrat until they have no choice. I believe the interview I heard. He said what his sources were. They can be checked, and to my knowledge, nobody had denied them. This is one of those open secrets nobody talks about, but it needs to be.

    Clinton isn't so popular these days with the editorial pages of the MSM.. I wouldn't classify her as a 'popular' democrat anymore..

    Well, today, Neal Boortz interviewed the man who fired Hillary. It was an interesting and informative interview. He's a true old school democrat and he said anyone with ethics will vote against Hillary!

    Interesting thing. The nature of her actions were that if Nixon hadn't resigned, and went to impeachment hearings, Hillary would have likely been disbarred! Who knows, maybe even jailed and fined...

    From Boortz's site:

    HILLARY FIRED? SHOULD HAVE BEEN DISBARRED!

    We touched on this yesterday, and I'm told that we've received a mess-o-emails asking me to put something about it on the Nuze today. Ok .. so here we go with the abbreviated version of Hillary's shenanigans when she was working for the House Judiciary Committee during the Nixon impeachment mess. If you want the full story click here to read the column by Dan Calabrese.

    * Hillary Rodham gets a spot on the legal staff of the House Judiciary Committee upon the recommendation of a lawyer pal of Ted Kennedy.
    * The man who hires Hillary is Jerry Zeifman, a lifelong Democrat.
    * The House Judiciary Committee is investigating Richard Nixon with an eye on impeachment.
    * A question arises as to whether or not Nixon is legally en led to counsel during the investigation. If so, his council would be allowed to cross examine witnesses appearing before the panel.
    * The concern about having counsel for Nixon cross examine witnesses centered on E. Howard Hunt. Democrats on the committee feared that Nixon's counsel would elicit information from Hunt that would be very damaging to the Kennedys.
    * Zeifman tells Hillary that Nixon is en led to counsel. He cites do ents in the committee's public file referencing the fact that Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas had representation four years earlier while he was being investigated.
    * Hillary removes the do ents from the committees public file and places them under lock and key in her office where they are not available for media or public scrutiny.
    * Hillary then prepares a brief for filing with a federal judge which falsely states that there is no precedent for an official being investigated by the committee to have legal representation during that investigation.
    * Nixon resigns before Hillary has a chance to submit the brief in which she makes knowingly false claims.
    * Zeifman then fires Hillary. Hillary asks for a letter of recommendation.

    Zeifman says no. This was only the third time in Zeifman's 17 years with the committee that he had refused a letter of recommendation.

    Zeifman told Dan Calabrese that if Hillary had actually submitted the brief she most likely would have been disbarred. We're trying to arrange for Jerry Zeifman to be a guest on the show today.

    So .. all you Hillary fans out there. Here we have your hero once again hiding do ents that could be damaging to her cause (Rose Law Firm billing records, Vince Foster's files) and then committing an unethical act in preparing a brief on a point of law she knew to be false. And you want this lady to be our president?

    Oh ... and why haven't we heard about this before? It seems to me that the media would be interested in this level of dishonesty and unethical behavior by Hillary Clinton.

    The article I posted earlier is on Jerry Zeifman's web site. Here is another one on the subject on Jerry Zeifman's web site:


    HILLARY'S WATERGATE SCANDAL

    New York Post

    In December 1974, as general counsel and chief of staff of the House
    Judiciary Committee, I made a personal evaluation of Hillary Rodham
    (now Senator Clinton), a member of the staff we had gathered for our
    impeachment inquiry on President Richard Nixon. I decided that I could
    not recommend her for any future position of public or private trust.

    Why? Hillary's main duty on our staff has been described by as
    "establishing the legal procedures to be followed in the course of the
    inquiry and impeachment." A number of the procedures she
    recommended were ethically flawed. And I also concluded that she had
    violated House and committee rules by disclosing confidential
    information to unauthorized persons.

    Hillary had conferred personally with me regarding procedural rules. I
    advised her that Judiciary Committee Chairman Peter Rodino, House
    Speaker Carl Albert, Majority Leader Tip O'Neill and I had previously
    agreed not to advocate anything contrary to the rules already adopted
    and published for that Congress. I quoted Mr. O'Neill's statement that:
    "To try to change the rules now would be politically divisive. It would be
    like trying to change the traditional rules of baseball before a World
    Series."

    Hillary assured me that she had not drafted and would not advocate any
    such rules changes. I soon learned that she had lied: She had already
    drafted changes, and continued to advocate them.

    In one written legal memorandum, she advocated denying President
    Nixon representation by counsel. She had done this despite the fact that
    --in our then-most-recent prior impeachment proceeding -- the
    committee had afforded the right to counsel to Supreme Court Justice
    William O. Douglas.

    I also informed Hillary that the Douglas impeachment files were
    available for public inspection in our offices. I later learned that the
    Douglas files were then removed from our general files without my
    permission, transferred to the offices of the impeachment inquiry staff,
    and were no longer accessible to the public.

    The young Ms. Rodham had other bad advice about procedures, arguing
    that the Judiciary Committee should neither (1) hold any hearings with or
    take the depositions of any live witnesses, nor 2) conduct any original
    investigation of Watergate, bribery, tax evasion, or any other possible
    impeachable offense of President Nixon - but to rely instead on prior
    investigations conducted by other committees and agencies.

    The committee rejected Ms. Rodham's recommendations: It agreed to
    allow President Nixon to be represented by counsel and to hold hearings
    with live witnesses. Hillary then advocated that the official rules of the
    House be amended to deny members of the committee the right to
    question witnesses. This unfair recommendation was rejected by the full
    House. (The committee also vetoed her suggestion that it leave the
    drafting of the articles of impeachment to her and her fellow special
    staffers.)

    The recommendations advocated by Hillary were apparently initiated or
    approved by Yale Law School professor Burke Marshall - in violation of
    committee and House rules on confidentiality. They were also
    advocated by her immediate supervisors, Special Counsel John Doar and
    Senior Associate Special Counsel Bernard Nussbaum, both of whom had
    worked under Marshall in the Kennedy Justice Department.

    It was not until two months after Nixon's resignation that I first learned
    of still another questionable role of Ms. Rodham. On Sept. 26, 1974,
    Rep. Charles Wiggins, a Republican member of the committee, wrote to
    ask Chairman Rodino to look into a troubling set of events.

    That spring, Wiggins and other committee members had asked "that
    research should be undertaken so as to furnish a standard against which
    to test the alleged abusive conduct of Richard Nixon." And, while "no
    such staff study was made available to the members at any time for
    their use," Wiggins had just learned that such a study had been
    conducted - at committee expense - by a team of professors who
    completed and filed their reports with the impeachment-inquiry staff
    well in advance of our public hearings.

    The report was not made available to members of Congress. But after
    the impeachment-inquiry staff was disbanded, it was published
    commercially and sold in book stores. Wiggins wrote that he was
    "especially troubled by the possibility that information deemed essential
    by some of the members in their discharge of their responsibilities may
    have been intentionally suppressed by the staff during the course our
    investigation."

    On Oct. 3, Rodino wrote back: "Hillary Rodham of the impeachment-
    inquiry staff coordinated the work. ... After the staff received the
    report it was reviewed by Ms. Rodham, briefly by Mr. Labovitz and Mr.
    Sack, and by Mr. Doar. The staff did not think the manuscript was
    useful in its present form." On the charge of willful suppression, he
    wrote: "That was not the case ... The staff did not think the material
    was usable by the committee in its existing form and had not had time
    to modify it so it would have practical utility for the members of the
    committee. I was informed and agreed with the judgment."

    During my 17 year tenure with the House Judiciary Committee, I had
    supervisory authority over several hundred staff members. The only
    attorneys whom I cannot recommend for future positions of public and
    private trust are Hillary Rodham, John Doar, and Bernard Nussbaum
    P.S.

    Zeifman is the author of "Without Honor: Crimes of Camelot and Impeachment of President Nixon"

    Bull . This kind of nasty stuff doesn't get reported until it can be confirmed. It makes for juicy ratings, and that is what drives the "liberal media" far more than any ideological slant.

    I am really ing tired of the "liberal media" delusion, and I have asked repeatedly for data supporting this from any sucker that has fallen for this myth, and after years of lame-ass attempts at trying to justify this rather successful lie, I have yet to see anything that even approaches sufficient proof.




    I believe the interview I heard. He said what his sources were. They can be checked, and to my knowledge, nobody had denied them. This is one of those open secrets nobody talks about, but it needs to be.
    ... and I believe that.

    Serious charges require higher levels of proof than one interview, though, and that level of proof has not been met to my satisfaction yet, but hey I am an auditor, and that is just the way I swing in that regard. Trust but verify.

    Where would the right wingers be without being able to blame the media? Of course you have the resident rightwing nut huggers who will believe ANYTHING that is negative about Clinton or other Democrats no matter the source of the story.. yet when stories that come out showing the dems in a positive light it's because the media is biased.. see it's really easy to be a conservative nowadays because if things aren't reported the way the rightwingers want them to there is the 'blame the MSM' card in their back pocket.. of course you will NEVER get the folks who use the blanket term to define who they consider the MSM is specifically.. pretty good deal huh? You bet!

    Now a newspaper article in the 'Small town USA paper' can represent the MSM as a whole when the article shows bias...

    So I guess your current definition of a 'true story' is when no one comes out and denies the story? Kind of weak don't you think?

    when you have evidence, you use it.

    when you don't, you pound on the table.
