Clinton Video Impact Will Be Decided by the Public

 

By Carrie K. Hutchens

I remember when the scandal came out that Bill Clinton had engaged in sexual activity with an aide, and he was denying it. Many people I have talked with felt that what transpired was between Bill and Hillary...until Bill lied to them (members of the public) by saying he hadn't had sex with Monica, and until he lied under oath. That's when these people became outraged. After all, Bill didn't have to lie. He could have said it was a private matter between him and his wife, but he opted to lie instead. Worse, he lied under oath. He was guilty of perjury and got away with it.

People weren't happy!

Now, Hillary has been accused of lying about fundraising and getting away with it. Did she and is she? I don't personally know, but I do know that there is a film coming out called, ""Hillary Uncensored" and that there has been a preview of it on the internet that is reported to have received approximately 1.4 million hits. "Anti-Clinton video draws Web audience" By JIM KUHNHENN, Associated Press Writer,  gives more detail about this interesting development.

I must say I laughed when I read, "'Peter Paul is a professional liar who has four separate criminal convictions, two for fraud. His video repackages a series of seven-year-old false claims about Senator Clinton that have already been rejected by the California state courts, the Justice Department, the Federal Election Commission, and the Senate Ethics Committee,' the Clinton campaign said in a statement."

This statement seems to forget that the world knows that Bill Clinton lied, even if he didn't have to pay for his act of perjury. And what about the papers that the Clinton's couldn't find and allegedly turned up one day on a table and all those types of incidents? Do the Clintons and their supporters think that time makes all this stuff go away as though it never took place? Apparently they do!

It doesn't matter if any of the material in the film was rejected by a California state court. It doesn't matter if Peter Paul does have convictions. If this film truly documents what it is alleged to document, it will be the public that determines it's value, not some judge that can throw things out because of personal opinion or due to a technicality. The public will be able to judge its worth or not. And if the public doesn't like what it sees--that lead that Clinton is now enjoying may do an about-face and put her on the tail end of popularity.

I personally know of a former politician that lied during his campaigns (as well as whenever) and had no hesitation in lying viciously about others. One of his supporters said that if he lied, he must have had a good reason. All kinds of things were believed about this man that were untrue and many people seemed to feel privileged (as a result of their false assumptions) to be supporting and aligned with the man. He charmed his way out of many of mess, but all charmed things must eventually come to an end and it did. He walked on too many people and lied too often and made too many major mistakes. He lost the third term election big time. And, where the majority once thought he could walk on water--they came to have little good to say about him.

All it takes is for the public to see that they were made fools of and they get more than a bit ticked off! And when the public gets in that rotten mood, politicians may be looking at their political funeral. Of course, some politicians go into hiding when things look bad and find a way to sneak back out in hoping the public has forgotten their bad! Hillary seems good about that little trick, but will it work for her always?

Will "Hillary Uncensored" have a negative impact on Clinton's campaign? The public's reaction will tell us more than any supposing could ever!

Time will tell if anyone even cares that the Clinton's seem to think the law is for everyone but them!
