Hillary Once Again Creates Fake News To Attack Obama

I just posted a blog about dishonesty coming from the McCain campaign, but that isn't just a Republican problem, it is apparently a Democratic problem as well, as least so far as Hillary can be considered a Democrat. Hillary's most recent ad attacking Obama for being against the McCain/Hillary gas tax pander scheme/$10 billion handout to oil companies (and apparently she is attacking, by extension, everyone who opposes her gas tax pander scheme--so all Democrats, all economists, all experts and pretty much everyone who isn't a Republican or Hillary, including many of her own supporters) is full of the typical distortions and lies, but there is an interesting example of deception hidden in the ad that almost went by unnoticed (but was, thanks to Berni McCoy). In the ad they flash a newspaper headline which reads "Obama attacks Clinton's gas tax plan", only the article it is attached to isn't about the gas tax plan at all, it is a story about something completely unrelated, a scandal called "Troopergate". See for yourself (original video here):



So Hillary's campaign manufactured a newspaper headline for their attack ad against Obama, because apparently they couldn't find a real headline saying what they wanted it to say, so why not just fudge it? I asked this question in my last post about McCain, so I have to ask it here: What does this say about how she would act as president? (Again, not happening, the issue is moot, but the people of the upcoming states deserve to have all the information when casting their ballots) So what happens when President Hillary Clinton wants to attack a country but the evidence doesn't ad up to what they want it to say? Do they just fudge the data? Pressure the CIA to fudge the data? Cherry pick the data? This is just what Bush did. And you may say, "but wait, this was just a headline in an attack ad", but it is just one example of countless of Hillary's "problem" with facts, with lying, with distortions, with manipulation, with faking the news...there is a very real pattern here, and her conduct throughout this campaign gives us every reason to be concerned, or even expect, that Hillary would freely lie to the American people as president, and be quite comfortable doing so.

And as I mentioned before, the real article they showed in their ad was about so-called "Troopergate", which was a scandal involving Hillary supporter Eliot Spitzer in which he allegedly ordered the State Police to create special records of NY State Senate majority leader Joseph L. Bruno's whereabouts when he traveled with police escorts in New York City.

It is interesting that they would use an story containing the words "Troopergate", given that the Clintons had their own scandal called "Troopergate", which involved allegations by two Arkansas state troopers that they arranged sexual liaisons for then-governor Bill Clinton. Pretty bold.

Pretty bold indeed.

Note: And please read up on Hillary's gas tax pander scheme, because she is absolutely wrong here, and even the majority of voters recognize it, yet she keeps on lying, peddling a Republican corporate handout, and attacking Democrats, all on the off-chance she might gain a few more votes from less informed voters.
