From the Daily News:In powerful new TV ads, emotional music plays over pictures of city controller candidate John Liu as a little boy.
"He came here at 5, and by seven had to work in a sweatshop to make ends meet," a narrator drones over images of women hunched over machines in a crowded factory.
"Working in finance taught Liu how to account for every penny, but working in that sweatshop as a kid taught him why we need to."
There's only one problem with the compelling story of his immigrant childhood toiling beside his mother in a sweatshop — his parents and two of his mother's friends say it never happened.
She worked at home.
"I never go to the factory," Liu's mother, Jamy Liu, 69, told the Daily News of her 10 years in the garment industry.
"I just go there and pick up some material and bring home because I had to take care of my kids," she said in an interview arranged by her son.

HES GOT MY VOTE!
What a lying fool! Why would any vote for a son of a bank thief who lies and is a poor cit council representative. Oh right. Money talks. Let's hope it rats him out!!!
Now we know why Liu was so forgiving - twice - of having the School Construction Authority (SCA) lie into his face under oath at City Council Hearings.
He was mad that they insulted him with their lies, but, he completely understands the art of lying for advantage.
He just another common cheesy liar!
Dump him like a used diaper.
Who is the candidate that the Queenscrapper and his minions are supporting for Comptroller?
Liar, liar, his pants are on fire. At least his mother told the truth. Lying must be one of the criteria for politicians. They have to be good at it. Don't be fooled by the liar. Vote him out. Can you imagine what lies he'll conjure up about our budget if he gets elected?

THINK FOR YOURSELF - DOES EVERYONE HAVE TO WAIT FOR SOMEONE TO COMMENT BEFORE THEY MAKE AN OPINION.
CRAPPY SUPPORTS 'A', MR CAPS (ME) SUPPORTS 'B', TAXPAYER SUPPORTS 'C', ETC ETC
SOME PEOPLE VOTE WITH THEIR POCKETBOOK. SOME PEOPLE VOTE FOR WHATS BEST FOR THEIR BLOCK. SOME PEOPLE VOTE FOR WHAT IS BEST FOR THEIR FAMILY.
AND SOME PEOPLE VOTE AS THEY ARE TOLD.
ITS OK TO DIFFER. EVEN FOR THE LATTER.
Wait until the Stavisky link is finally bared!
They backed Liu-ie "the liar" for city council and they know where all the bodies are buried.
Let's hope that Evan & Toby get subpoenas from the feds soon!
Then we'll see some sport!
I'm tellin' ya...since Brian Mc Laughlin started singin'...look at all the shit that's gone down!
Hit that high "C" Brian...the one that brings down the whole dirty political house of cards!
And let's not forget that Liu is Tommy Huang's cousin.
If they can locate Augustine Chen or grill Sussie Wu Rathbone the FBI would get complete confirmation on this family connection as well as a probable conviction for John Liu in a possible money laundering role... maybe (?) via the Great Eastern Bank....the bank his daddy robbed!
Just where did he get those millions of political campaign dollars so fast and from where....Taiwan (Huang's home)?
Did you see that Daily News flick of Liu in Athens?
Boy does he look an effeminate little rice queen!
He was married but without a kid for a very long time (unusual for an Asian male) until just before he ran for office.
Is it his or was it bought?
H-m-m-m...shades of the "Wedding Banquet" movie.
A wife and a kid...wow...a double "beard"!
Who's running his campaign....Parkside?
No wonder the lies bloom like dandelions!
Always been a liar
Liu father is a bank robber
He got all kind of financial connection to china. That is where the NY pension money will go if he gets elected
he tricky, tricky.
did Liu also lie about returning the $4950.00 that he took from NORMAN HSU for the nyc comptrollers
campaign?HSU pleaded guilty in federal court to
cheating investors out of $20 million. he also funneled
tens of thousands of dollars to DEM.CANDIDATES.
see:http://suitablyflip.com scroll toNORMAN HSU AND
CLICK ON "CANDIDATES FOR GOV." FOR THE DONOR
SPREADSHEET.LIU 'S name does not show a refund???
Anyway where would the money be sent ? to the federal prison?
Mother Liu for Comptroller?
"Boy does he look an effeminate little rice queen!"
Leave it to the commenters who show their racist colors without shame.
rice queen - "A homosexual non-Asian man who is mostly attracted to Asian men, regardless of their age."
Now I don't understand the comment, but it wasn't racist.
John Liar's other ad claims he helped catch MTA using 2 sets of books. But the claim was made in 2003 STATE controller's audit and a state appeals court later ruled the allegation was UNTRUE. Perhaps Liu's father who was convicted of BANK FRAUD kept 2 sets of books
In a press conference John Liu had peaceful protesters toss out and lied that they follow him everywhere and he doesn't know what they want. LIES again, he knew they were Falun Gong Practitioners who were tossed out of his office.

People say that i have a personal vendetta against liu but in fact I want people to know that truth about his rotten man. I learned about LIU when he sponsor the bill that supports the cruelty and fraud in the horse carriage industry. When I asked him in private why he sponsor such a bill? LIU responded that he HAD NO response for me. Weeks later, I asked him in an open forum and LIU lied that he already answered my question and that I repeatedly ask the same question. Liu is a LIAR!!!!
Can you imagine what lies he'll conjure up about our budget if he gets elected?
Gee, a Queens politician who lies. What a news story!
LIU even lie that the only office he was running for was Public advocate. He said this in a public forum when asked. Then he gave 10 grand to crooked working families party and switch race to comptroller. This man can't stop lying.
Hey you Daily News reporter (and any FBI agents perusing this site out there)...check out any possible links that John Liu (and his convicted daddy Joe) still have to their native Taiwan and any access to illegal Taiwanese political campaign contribution money!
Finish the good job you started exposing him as a habitual liar!
Connect him to the "Seven Giants"
scheme to assemble a new world real estate/political empire.
Thumb through "City For Sale" by Jack Neufield & Wayne Barret).
I believe the "Seven Giants" are mentioned there.
Wasn't that friend of Liu mentioned in the Daily News article ...Ms. Zheng...connected with the "Seven Giants"?
Leave it to Liu-ie "the liar".
When he's finally caught with egg on his face...given up by his own mother and father and the story is plastered on the front page of a leading daily newspaper...he feebly tries to shift the blame onto them.
Some snake-in-the-grass son they raised!
Johnny boy insinuated that they lied just to save face because they were embarrassed.
Mom and pop simply didn't want to admit they worked in a sweat shop and covered it up by saying they took piece work home.
If he has no respect for his own parents...WHICH HE DOESN'T...and his father was a bank robber...how can we entrust the purse strings of New York City in the hands of a shifty lying stooge (possibly still under the influence of a foreign power)?
Didn't Tommy Huang (Liu's cousin)
endanger his own mother Su Yu Yeh by putting the RKO Keith's in her name while illegal toxic conditions existed there?
Sociopaths must run in the family.
Heh, heh, heh...you should have said..."caught with egg roll on his face" (or up his loose caboose).
Maybe he was a regular patron of the infamous "Northern Mens' Sauna"....h-m-m-m?
"egg rolls" on his face. LMAO. I will be crying if the stupid masses put him in charge of our monies.
The liar will hold press conference with his mommy and force his mother to lie. what scum
In Chinatown, John Liu is a superstar. There hasn't been one business, where I haven't seen his poster plastered up.
