In 2000, republicans did the exact same thing to Al Gore.

"Again, Al Gore has told a whopper," the Post wrote. "Again, he's been caught red-handed and again, he has been left sputtering and apologizing. This time, he falsely took credit for breaking the Love Canal story. … Yep, another Al Gore bold-faced lie."

The editorial continued: "Al Gore appears to have as much difficulty telling the truth as his boss, Bill Clinton. But Gore's lies are not just false, they're outrageously, stupidly false. It's so easy to determine that he's lying, you have to wonder if he wants to be found out.

"Does he enjoy the embarrassment? Is he hell-bent on destroying his own campaign? … Of course, if Al Gore is determined to turn himself into a national laughingstock, who are we to stand in his way?"

I'm sickened by this despicable tactic of painting Hillary Clinton as a liar. You don't like her; she is the "opposition" in your mind because you support Obama. That's fine. But there is no reason to go to these lengths and analyze every single word she says for truthfulness and try hard to brand her a liar for political points. It was incredibly brutal when repugs did it to Al Gore, and to me, it's simply beyond the pale for dems to do it to Hillary.
