Many on the right say that Hillary lies. Some say she lies all day long, and that she tells thousands of lies per day, and so on. Every time I ask a Righty to provide proof of one such lie, they go silent. On the odd occasion someone makes a list, but it fails. They rattle off examples from the top of their head instead of providing an exact quote, and they rarely provide links. I look into their allegations only to find there was no such lie. They’ll say that Hillary Clinton said that, "never received nor sent any material that was marked classified" but she was simply not aware or remembered all of the thousand of things she sent and the vast majority were classified afterwards.
So please don’t rattle off lies off the top of your head. Find the exact quote, and provide a link to it. I will then look into it. If I find any genuine proven lies I will agree to them being lies. If I don’t see any proof they will be deemed Fake News.
Hillary is an honest woman so it’s doubtful you will find any legitimate lies. And remember, a “view” or a “belief” is not a lie. Hillary might say she believes in Zeus, and you might say that’s a lie. You would be using the wrong word. She might be wrong about something, but if she believed it when she said it, it is not a lie. For instance, if she boasted that would have been the greatest POTUS ever, that’s not a lie. She believes she would be. So do I. Another thing that is not a lie is an exaggeration or a joke. If Hillary said, “Half of Trump supporters are a basket of deplorables” this is her literally saying that 50% of her supporters are deplorable. That is the hysterical Right’s silly translation. Likewise, if she jokingly said, “Ladies, we’re gonna be the richest country for a million years,” that is not a lie – it is a harmless piece of joking or kidding around.
Here is the best way to go about this if you wish to try:
1) Calm down. Don’t rush.
2) Be sensible. Go find what you think is a Hillary lie. Use Google and Bing.
3) Research it a little. See what other people say. That part is very important.
4) Once you are sure it is a lie, and not just Fake News, present the accurate quote & link.
Good luck, but remember, to qualify you need to provide the EXACT quote, and provide a link to show the alleged lie details. You say she lies so YOU provide PROOF. I will look at that proof and if I see you made mistakes, I will provide details. Any rambling diatribe without links will be deemed Fake News.
