I know it’s viral now, and perhaps not news. Indeed, the fact that Hillary Clinton is one of the most prolific, shameless, media-enabled and successful serial liars in United States political history is certainly not news, and is undeniable by anyone not yet corrupted by her scorched earth march to power. Nonetheless, this is an ethics blog, and one that has devoted an extensive effort, much criticized as obsessive, to document why the words “ethical” and “Hillary Clinton” must never be used in close proximity to each other. I have to post this.
Does it prove she is spectacularly untrustworthy? Of course it does. Does it prove she is unfit to be President? Yes, except in the horrible hypothetical circumstance that someone even more unfit is running against her, such as, oh, let’s pick someone that no sane and patriotic American would ever consider as a potential President, like Jessica Simps…no, worse, like Alec Baldwi…no, still not bad enough. Okay, let’s say..I know, I know, it’s ridiculous, but…Donald Trump. (I almost said Justin Bieber.)
The stunning thing about the video is that it isn’t nearly complete. For example, it does not include that dozens, indeed hundreds, maybe thousands, of instances when Clinton employed deceit, the family specialty. Of course, if it did, the video would be 13 hours long. Days, maybe.
I do have some questions and observations for Hillary Clinton supporters in light of the above.
How can you support someone like this to be President and continue to use a mirror?
Can you excuse this array with anything that isn’t a rationalization? “Everybody does it”…is that the best you can do? I’d challenge anyone to make a similar video of a contemporary politician’s statements that was as damning as this. Well, Obama’s clip show might come close. Heck, I’ll go further: there should be a video like this of every candidate that runs for any high office, and it should be assembled by an objective, non-partisan organization for comparison purposes.
Are you not amazed that this woman recently said, for public consumption, that she has never lied?
How do Democrats have the gall to mock the GOP for getting itself trapped into nominating Trump, when the Democratic Party rigged the nomination process to end up with Hillary, knowing what she is?

Note: The wishy-washy Parker, one of my least favorite political pundits, ended her review of the video thusly:
For whatever reason, she simply can’t seem to stick to the truth, which, at times, needs neither embellishment nor denial. Wasn’t it enough to have gone to Bosnia to conduct the nation’s all-important soft diplomacy?…A person who can admit to mistakes, express genuine remorse, apologize for errors of judgment or failures to act, and who revises history only in the service of truth—that person could become president of the United States.
If only.

You of all people should know that the fatal flaws of the Bieber candidacy is that he is under 35 and was born in Canada.

I agree with you. We have horrible candidates for President. Never in our lives have we accepted people who are such liars. When we stop recognizing truth, we don’t expect it from others. Very sad. There is a standard for truth and it’s found in Christ. We need to stop making it up ourselves. This is what we get when everyone does what is right in their own eyes.
“Are you not amazed that this woman recently said, for public consumption, that she has never lied?”
Jerry – just remember – it’s not a lie if you believe it.
Homer Simpson: “Marge, it takes two to lie. One to lie and the other to listen.”
Aarrgghhh!!!!! Stop, stop, stop!!!!! I can’t take it any more!!!
What’s that smell in this room?… Didn’t you notice a powerful and obnoxious odor of mendacity in this room? … There ain’t nothin’ more powerful than the odor of mendacity!
Liar liar…
