NY Times - A Week of Whoppers From Donald Trump

If Hillary Clinton just uttered one of these lies, the MSM would be announcing that she had disqualified herself from running for President.

http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2016/09/24/us/elections/donald-trump-statements.html?_r=0

1. He said a supportive crowd chanted, “Let him speak!” when a black pastor in Flint, Mich., asked Mr. Trump not to give a political speech in the church.
There were no such chants.

2. “I was against going into the war in Iraq.”
This is not getting any truer with repetition. He never publicly expressed opposition to the war before it began, and he made supportive remarks to Howard Stern.

3. He said any supportive comments he made about the Iraq war came “long before” the war began.
He expressed support for the war in September 2002, when Congress was debating whether to authorize military action.

4. He said he had publicly opposed the Iraq war in an Esquire interview “pretty quickly after the war started.”
The Esquire interview appeared in the August 2004 edition, 17 months after the war began.

Arranged by most common lies, that would be interesting.
I bet Hillary has that on a spreadsheet, HA.
She does her homework!
