WATCH: #JimmyKimmel’s Video About #Hillary’s ‘Lies’ Is Beyond Brilliant

Who better to judge Hillary’s honesty than people who are lying about what they know? Jimmy Kimmel’s Lie Witness News asks people about her imaginary emails.

1. I saw that ...

what got me was the "Christian" woman, who that was so hateful of HRC because HRC is such the liar ... as the woman was lying about having seen the email that prompted her hate.

I thought ... I wonder if the woman's pastor/minister/religious leader was proud of his/her congregant?

[bigtree]

3. I'd think

...the answer to that would be 'yes.'

So much disinformation serves as right-wing political gospel. Just had a fellow arguing about the debunked claim of the black man who was supposedly the first slave owner in America (completely ignoring the fact that the man arrived in Jamestown in 1621, in all likelihood himself a slave, and more).

So much projection...

15. One of the problems with many evangelical and

fundamentalist religions is that most of their ministers do not have formal education in Christian doctrine, morality, logic, counseling. Too many are a whole bundle of inadequacies, bringing nothing to the job but sincerity (one hopes), leaving whole congregations without competent spiritual leadership and moral guidance. Sometimes for life.

None of the half dozen or so local churches I've visited with friends (I like to see what they're like) spoke about, much less educated on, moral issues during my visits.

Of course these people are describing themselves with their own terms like living lies, untrustworthy, without boundaries, etc. I don't even think it's projection, Bigtree. That one at least the one was born with a label, Christian, which tells her she is one of the good people. Especially with, but even without, that religious certainty, assumptions of personal virtue for many are never examined, no matter how badly they and the group they identify as their own are behaving.

Thanks for the clip, though. It was a hoot.

16. I've had many conversations with people like this woman

...and I refuse to believe they're making these claims in good faith.

They're made out of hatred and fear. That's what propels many of these fundie clans. That's what she's projecting, not religion. The religion is used to try and provide justification for their biases.

2. Typical...

...welcome to the great "Democracy" we have created. Aren't you proud of your fellow citizens? shouldn't we hold dear the "will of the people".

Democracies only work with an informed elctorate.

We are totally screwed.

Idiocracy is here!

4. Next week ask about Clinton's meeting with the AG on her plane.

Hopefully these people don't vote. Certainly Trump voters if they do. Why do the Clintons keep hitting themselves?

[bigtree]

5. good illustration of misinformation

...prosecutors regularly meet 'privately' with defendants.

Hubub over a private conversation between the AG and the husband of a mere subject in an investigation means NOTHING. Folks who play into that sort of banality don't have any interest in the truth and can't be reached.

10. Unfortunately those are the people who vote.

Appearance is all people see and hear.

[bigtree]

14. they're certainly the people who vote republican.

[progressoid]

6. That's the American voter.

7. The amazing thing was that the Kimmel interviewer's

Made up stuff was so preposterous, yet these idiots were sure they had seen it. I wonder how many more he would have pulled in with more subtle fake emails.

You might enjoy his interviews re Obamacare versus the Affordable Care Act.

Kimmel is great.

[grossproffit]

8. LOL! How embarrassing. Have any of these people been identified or come forward?

I'd love to troll each of them.

[Agschmid]

9. Wow...

[MaggieD]

11. Well that's typical

If you ask people what Clinton supposedly lied about they have no fucking clue. Then they will go find some edited bullshit YouTube video claiming she lied about stuff that is basically just policy things they disagree with.

I have zero respect for people like that. None.

12. Welcome to your average voter. This is the real America.

People hold up democracy as if it is somehow this magical thing. It is just the least worst system out of a number of even worse systems. To quote H. L. Mencken:

"Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard." - H. L. Mencken

13. HA Goodman clones. nt.

18. I'm going to have bruises from slamming my head into the table before this is over.
