Lying About Hillary Clinton's Lies

In a previous post, I pointed out a ridiculous petition at the 'Daily Kos', which is supposedly an attempt to hold Donald Trump accountable for his lies.  In that post, I wrote that I view both 'Media Matters For America' and the 'Daily Kos' as dishonest, since both sites are obviously extremely biased in favor of Democrats.  This is especially true for 'Media Matters for America' in regard to Hillary Clinton, since Hillary supports and helped found that non-profit, which postures as if it is a media watchdog.

See my previous post to view a video showing Hillary stating her involvement with 'Media Matters For America'

Again, shown below is that ridiculous petition from the 'Daily Kos' regarding Donald Trump and his supposed lies.  I say ridiculous, because it seems silly for a group of people to attempt to hold someone outside of government accountable for lying, when they will not do the same for the many dishonest people in government — and especially an obviously dishonest Democrat like Hillary Clinton.

When viewed in that light, this petition is laughably ridiculous — even if you simply assume the accusation is completely correct, it displays a profound confusion and dishonesty regarding assessing harm and responsibility.   Does anyone really believe that a private citizen can do as much damage by lying as a government bureaucrat?

Oh, like, say, the dishonest bureaucrats at the IRS, that give a propaganda arm of the Democratic Party — 'Media Matters for America'tax-exempt status.

As I pointed out in my previous post, it is painfully obvious that anyone who supports Hillary Clinton, while simultaneously attacking others for lying, can make no claim to being objective

To those who support Hillary Clinton, and believe that she has demonstrated integrity during her long checkered career, the video below will serve as a helpful reminder that you are not in a position to criticize others for lying.   The 'Daily Kos' should take note.

And notice that this video makes no comment about Hillary's behavior — that is, it is simply a collection of clips from Hillary's public statements, which show how consistently she contradicts herself.  For the typical YouTube video dealing with politics, this is well above average in its quality, in that it does not contain any commentary to distract from the simple point that Hillary will say whatever seems convenient to her at the time.  It is especially telling to see someone like Anderson Cooper from CNN challenge Hillary on her inconsistencies, given that Anderson Cooper and CNN are certainly not defenders of Republicans —



You may have the impression, from what I've written here and in my previous post, that I'm a Donald Trump supporter.

You would be wrong.
