Which was worst, Hillary lying about sniper fire, or Obama lying about Bloody sunday to get votes?
Hillary claimed she was shot at, and Obama claimed his parents met and bloody sunday, when in fact he was born four years before that even ever occured. Obama supporters have been claiming that Hillary is not fit to be President because she lied, Hillary supporters claim the same about Obama, so tell me folks what is the difference between these two lies? Maybe they should both step down, because it seems to me that there is NO difference between them. If these were regular politicians I might let it slide, but these two morons claim to be "the new politics" about open government, and being honest... well they both lied about Nafta, and now they both lied, there goes open, and they both flat out lied about their histories, so there goes honesty.... seems like the same old crap that always runs to me. What do you say, whats the difference, why is your candidates comments less of a lie? What do you say?
At bloody sunday.
Beardog, bloody sunday was a civil rights movement in Alabma, he basically made up the story to get votes, he claimed that his mother and father were inspired by what happened in Alabama that day, and decided that they could be a couple because of what happened. It was a blatant lie used to get Alabama votes, by reminding them of precious racial memories that HE was not a part of. Its a complete attack on the trust of that community. Its one of the most well known civil rights incidents in history I can't believe you don't know about it.

I think they are both lies, and both should be equally reported or not reported on. All you hear about is Hillary's lie, never Obama's. That is just one more injustice that media is serving to the public. I don't think one lie is worse than the other, but I am getting sick of people tip toeing around Obama.

Poiticians are professional liars. The more someone talks about change the more popular they become. I just amd glad I am moving to the European Union. I have just looked at the big picture and even though I served my country for 18 years. I laugh at the stupidity of Americans who think anyone will change a thing. American legacy is the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. People vote for the person who tells them what the wish to hear, they are to dumb to realize, the person will never keep that promise. I am an American and I see that political correctness above all else is making us dumber and dumber. So I am out of here

Hillary’s lie was pointless; it may have been served up to make her appear heroic. Obama’s lie was calculating; it was intended to cement his place in the black struggle for equality.
What does it say about the politics of this country when we are trying to “rank” two lies and the liars who told them?

What the hey is Bloody Sunday, and who cares about when and how Obama's parents met? LOL !!
Hillary lying over and over about " running for cover during sniper fire " is just too overboard. Here's the other part I just love from Hillary...
" When it's too far or too dangerous, they send me". What a huge crock of sheet !! Send her where... to dedicate another statue in some park?

I don't think I like either candidate anymore, but Obama because he sold out his grandma to look good again for voters/had something to hide and is struggling to pass it off like it's no big deal, Hillary just made up some stupid thing to impress voters a little..doesn't seem as bad to me.

Well, maybe he was talking about another bloody sunday. This is from a factcheck site that reviews claims by candidates:
“Odinga is a cousin of American Senator and presidential candidate Barack Hussein Obama through the latter's father, Barack Obama Sr., who Odinga claims was his maternal uncle.[25] Obama Sr. did come from the same Luo tribe as Odinga.[25]. Senator Barack Hussein Obama supported his older half-brother Abongo Obama, a militant muslim leader of the Luo tribe of Barack Obama's family and campaigned for his uncle, Raila Odinga during his 2006 visit to Kenya, where the famous picture of Barack in a turbin was taken from.”

Obama has lied about all sort of stuff involving the civil rights movement. He claimed an article he read in Life magazine in 68 had a profound impact on his views on race. Problem was, it was never in Life, or any of the other magazines he "recalled". Hillary may have lied about her trip, but Obama lies all the time. Resno, nuclear power bills, voting record, church, what he knew when he knew it. They all lie, but Obama's are worse.

Like anyone trying to sell something they all exaggerate their stories. I think it's gone on since the inception of politics. The only difference is the info highway- now they all get caught faster.

No, I fail to see the difference because a lie is a lie, and they are BOTH liars. But I think that Obama and his racist uncle/pastor and racist socialist friends that would be camping out at the whitehouse are a LOT more scary to me than Hillary. Don't get me wrong, she's scary too, but Obama is ABSOLUTELY frightening!!!!

Why are we making such a big deal out of the sniper fire thing. Who Cares? It's just the media's attempt to direct our attention away from Obama and his friend The Reverend Bigot ... I mean Wright.
