I agree that the "sniper fire in Bosnia" lie is by far the most egregious thing I've heard out of her mouth. that lie, along with her vote for the Iraq war in 2003 as Senator, is why Obama beat her. That's it. And it's why she won't win in 2016, either.

Of course. She's a duplicitious cunt.
Criticism needs to be fair.

the other lies are perfectly fair. she's a smart, grown woman - no way she "accidentally" claimed all of her grandparents were immigrants. she's also a mother of an adult - no way she didn't know this was bullshit.
as for gay marriage - she was lying back in the day. Hillary probably doesn't care one iota, like almost all intelligent, non-insanely-religious people. She didn't fudge around it like most people, though, she went for the hard lie. This allowed her to make very strong, certain statements that bolstered people's faith in her positions. She received benefits from these statements and that's why she needs to be called out for lying about it.
