BREAKING: DailyKosTV's Jed Lewison video calls out Hillary as a liar. [UPDATEDx3]

Sorry, I lied. Sadly, this is not breaking news, in fact, it is actually very old news, but I really wish it was.

In 2008, Jed Lewison ("The Jed Report") — Senior DailyKos Policy Editor and Editor of DailyKosTV — former communications director for Sen. Maria Cantwell — put together the following video of Hillary Clinton.

It is rather telling and poignantly illustrative.

Hillary Clinton — Lies

by Jed Lewison of Editor of Daily Kos TV
[video:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rKW3DvYD1Tc]

Once upon a time DailyKos was a bastion of truth. I wonder if this video is something Markos will support censoring today, a video that his own senior staff member created. If I posted this same essay on TOS, would I get HR Flagged & Banned for violating the post Ides of March censorship?

[UPDATE #1]
I actually already posted this as a comment to TomP's diary: Hillary Feeling Sorry for Young People, Says Bernie Attacked Obama and Bill, Rarely Bush.

However, I just posted to TOS as a diary ... here's the link.

[UPDATE #2]
As I expected, the tip jar was flagged and I was already given a warning within minutes of posting the diary. We shall see if I am banned from DailyKos for posting a DailyKosTV video. How ironic would that be?

[UPDATE #3]

TOP OF THE REC LIST !!!! WOOHOOO !!!!!

but she never "had a gun in the house." That lie is easy to squeeze out of - she could say, that the gun was kept in the shed or the barn, it wasn't kept precisely "in the house."

Over all, when her lips move, she is lying.

Agree with the other commenters that it should be posted. It's archival footage from that site, after all. Remember when journalists went to their newspaper's archives to research new stories with old connections? Back when actual journalism was a thing, I mean.

I hadn't seen the comment, but I did tip and rec the diary. That video is too important. It needs to be seen by many, and often.

I can't believe how often HRC says that voters don't like liars and then she just keeps on lying. The Clintons, both of them, cannot resign from politics fast enough to suit me.

Flagging a piece that just points out what your site said some years back.

"Oh, you just go on and on and on about that video. Why do you need to keep bringing this up? You know, it's really not healthy to dwell on these things so much. I'm finding you unhealthily obsessed here. Maybe you should take a pill.

You know we do care about you, but you're just so crazy. You'll never get a President if you don't lower your standards. Hillary Clinton may care for you."

Wrote back in 06 describing all of the reasons why Hillary wasn't cut out to be president. I wish I could find where I saved it.
Markos 's article
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/05/05/AR200605...

But he excoriated her, called her out on her Iraq vote, support for welfare reform, the crime bill , nafta and other things.
Now she has even much more baggage and he thinks that she should be president? It just doesn't make any sense.
Especially since Bernie stands for what makes a better democrat.

There were problems with running a campaign of Joy while committing a genocide? Who could have guessed?

Harris is unburdened of speaking going forward.

I just bookmarked that link, Thank you so much for sharing it. I am on a massive time out over there for saying that I think Trump would do less damage to the country than hillary would because both parties would fight him whereas dems would beg her to let them privatize the VA & SS. The day I can post that is going up & I am going to laugh all the way to my banning

Also there is this article written by Markos during the election between her and Obama.

And therein lie Hillary Clinton's biggest problems. She epitomizes the "insider" label of the early crowd of 2008 Democratic contenders. She's part of the Clinton machine that decimated the national Democratic Party. And she remains surrounded by many of the old consultants who counsel meekness and caution. James Carville, the famed longtime adviser to the Clintons, told Newsweek last week, "The American people are going to be ready for an era of realism. They've seen the consequences of having too many 'big ideas.' "
I don't see much of anything that has changed since he wrote this. In fact I think she has done more things between then and now that shows her in a less favorable light. Bill Clinton was the person who basically said “ if you can't beat them, join them” and then moved the party to the right

we saw millions hurt by the welfare reform, crime bills, NAFTA and the deregulation of the banks

And because of the laws welfare reform, tens of thousands of people have been kicked off SNAP. Good lord, the richest country in the world has just made thousands of people's lives so much worse.

And if Obama isn't able to get the TPP passed, do you really think that Hillary won't? After she helped work on it for 4 years and gave over 40 speeches stating it was the gold standard of trade agreements.

I don't understand how giving our national sovereignty over to foreign corporations is even legal. many people think that it either borders on treason or is treason. 3 foreign industry insiders will judge on any hearings and their decision is final.

The states that have passed a $15 minimum wage or has banned fracking can see that over turned and even if they win, it will cost them millions in court fees.

She said that her vote for the Iraq war was a mistake, but her actions during her time as SOS shows me that it wasn't a mistake.

She pushed for more troops in Afghanistan during the surge, pushed to overthrow Gaddafi and after watching the video of his gruesome murder, laughed, clapped her hands and said “ we came, we saw, he died”.

Seriously, people don't have a problem with that?

Then there's the conflict of interest IMO with the weapons sales to countries who would then donate millions to their foundation. And Obama had told her that she was to keep her foundation out her duties as SOS and she agreed to do so.

Finally her speech to AIPAC is disturbing. Again, IMO.

As the diarist and others have stated, this site used to stand for electing better democrats. Hillary is more of the same. A centrist like Obama who will continue PNAC's goals in the Middle East.

During the Bush years this site used to be against these types of military actions. But I have been told that as long as our troops aren't the ones being killed, then it's ok for Obama to use drones that have killed hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians.

During the Bush years, again this site used to complain about how the democrats weren't standing up for us. We now have a candidate that represents what the Democratic Party used to stand for, but people say that he doesn't have a chance to win and will vote for the status quo candidate.

I don't get it.

It's absolutely incredible that you could be banned for calling attention to a video made by senior staff member at TOP.

Those little Neoliberal prick minions and their Decider puppet for HRC's Neoliberal fantasy are the counterpart to Trump's bigotry blinded neanderthals. Neither faction have the capacity for bad news about themselves, self-reflection or to face inconvenient truths. They're most comfortable living in self-absorbed bubbles, surrounded by throngs of Yes-men and women.

Yeah, you set me in motion too:

All I want is the truth.

Gimme Some Truth.

This place has totally degenerated.

Daily Kos has become a hive of pestilent Neoliberal, Wall St Economic Terrorist-apologist, Worship the Rich, snide, snickering, I-got-mine red-coated Loyalists to the Democratic Empire With No Clothes, content to carry water for their oligarch overlords just as long as there’s a steady current of cheap disposable manufactured goods made by slave labor in SE Asia to fill up their garages and attics with, while all the menacing progressive dissenters, protesters or activists are kept in their Free Speech zones away from challenging their consciences.

Gimme Some Truth.

Thanks for this.
