"It's Troublesome How Easily Bill And Hillary Clinton Lie."?

Question

Geffen said that.

Why did he say it?

Interestingly, that includes the top candidate for Dems.

Can't they find anyone that we wouldn't be ashamed of?

Answer 1

It is troublesome if you consider that Hillary is a US Senator and is running for President.
Hillary has lied about ALMOST as much stuff as Bill! Rose Law Firm records, who hired the guy that got the FBI files illegally for the White House, who fired the W.H. travel office staff and then accused them of crimes they didn't commit, and the list goes on and on. Her brother sold the access to Bill for pardons and she and Bill tried to steal $28,000 worth of furniture from the White House! Wow, we really need to go through that crap again!

Answer 2

I love that Wikipedia

Geffen has developed a reputation as a prominent left wing philanthropist for his publicized support of medical research, AIDS organizations, the arts and theater. He was an early financial supporter of President Bill Clinton. In 2001 he had a falling out with the former President over Clinton's decision to not pardon Leonard Peltier, on whose behalf he had lobbied the President.

Leonard Peltier (born September 12, 1944) is a Native American activist and member of the American Indian Movement. In 1977 he was convicted and sentenced to two consecutive terms of life imprisonment for the murders of two FBI Agents who died during a 1975 shoot-out on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. There has been considerable debate over Peltier’s guilt and the fairness of his trial. Some supporters and organizations, including Amnesty International, consider him to be a political prisoner. Numerous appeals have been filed on his behalf; however, none has been ruled in his favor. Peltier is currently incarcerated at the United States Penitentiary in Lewisburg, Pennsylvania.

Answer 3

""Who is Geffen and why should we care what he said?""

David Geffen was/is a music industry producer who was very successful and the authority on the business end of the music world.
The Clintons recruited him to orchestrate fund raising efforts when Bill was running. He raised many millions for them and arranged for some of the higher donaters to stay in the lincoln bedroom in the whitehouse etc..

Geffen has been bad mouthing the Clintons and recently has started working for the Obama camp.

Answer 4

ToYou, Too! - So where are these so called "millions" of dead people that Bush has killed? Last I checked, there were only a little over 3000 Soldiers KIA in Iraq lately. Soldiers that believed in their mission.

You need to grow up and understand that our freedoms and way of life isn't free any more. When it comes time, we have to be prepared to defend our interests regardless of how "wrong" you think it may be.

I may not agree with Bush, but the mission is important and withdrawl should not be an option. This is comming from a Soldier with a family that has been there and will return there.

When have you served??

Answer 6

They do not lie any more than any other politicians so get real. I think you say this because you are asking answerers to support come kind of personal bias. I have no particular love for ex-60's hippie Hillary but I must admit that together they have more experience in the political arena than any of the others.

Answer 7

Who is Geffen and why should we care what he said?

Answer 8

All politicians lie. Right wing, left wing, greenie, black, white, religous, moderate. It's politics.

Answer 9

Isn't it troublesome how easily EVERY politician lies?

Answer 10

Shouldn't you be more worried about the lies the Bush Administration told that ended in millions being killed and maimed?

Get a grip.
