False Claim: Hillary's "Irish Peace Meeting" and Faked Statements

Mrs Clinton started lying about what she did in Ireland in Nashua, New Hampshire on January 6th.
Now she has expanded to claims of important roles.
"I actually went to Northern Ireland more than my husband did," she said.  
Here's Hillary:

"I remember a meeting that I pulled together in Belfast, in the town hall there, bringing together for the first time Catholics and Protestants from both traditions, having them sitting a room where they had never been before with each other because they don’t go to school together, they don’t live together and it was only in large measure because I really asked them to come that they were there.

That's a lie. She didn't invite anybody. There was no such meeting.
She also made up Catholic and Protestant conversation.
Fully scripted. Below the line.

There is no record of any such meeting at Belfast City Hall.

The Belfast Telegraph reported next day that a café meeting was crammed with reporters, cameramen and Secret Service agents. Conversation "seemed a little bit stilted, a little prepared at times" and Mrs Clinton admired a stainless steel tea pot, which was duly given to her.
Gee, she scammed a tea pot.

The Telegraph with direct quotes.

Dirty tricks extends to giving prepared false statements.
This script that Hillary read in New Hampshire was a back-to-the-wall piece of desperation.
Now its gotten to be a habit. One of her lies.
Lies have become Hillary's cocaine.

Fact is, Mrs Clinton attended a ceremony at that Town Hall when her husband turned on the Christmas tree lights in November 1995.
At least she doesn't claim to have turned on those lights.
This candidate met Irish women at an event the same day, arranged by the US Consulate, the same day at the Lamp Lighter Café on the city’s Ormeau Road.

Any meeting with Protestant and Catholic women then would hardly have been the first in any way.

Here's the faked conversation.

"And I wasn’t sure it was going to be very successful and finally a Catholic woman on one side of the table said, ’You know, every time my husband leaves for work in the morning I worry he won’t come home at night.

"And then a Protestant woman on the other side said, ’Every time my son tries to go out at night I worry he won’t come home again’. And suddenly instead of seeing each other as caricatures and stereotypes they saw each other as human beings and the slow, hard work of peace-making could move forward."

That did not happen.

Lie after lie after lie......................

This is a candidate for the American presidency.
George Bush is the model for all subsequent holders of this office ???????
