As for Weiss, I think she didn't lie to Oobleck, at least not downright. I have mentioned before Weiss at the beginning of this Volume was a complete different person then she was at the end of Volume 1. She went from becoming infuriated at people insinuating bad things about the SDC to forcing visibly forcing smiles when called by her last name. She went from calling the White Fang a "bunch of liars, thieves, and murderers" to calling Blake's years with them as "fighting for freedom".

So, when she made her decision of becoming a huntress, it probably went down the way she told Oobleck. But since she has arrived to Beacon things have happened that have changed her as a person. So that reason is no longer true. She wasn't infuriated at people saying bad thing about the SDC. The only time she got particularly upset was because the remarks about the SDC were meant as a personal slight against her rather than just criticism of the company. Blake was all "Hello, complete and utter stranger, this girl is Weiss Schnee heiress to a company that commits unspeakably horrific acts against pure and innocent people. Bye now." Most people would get offended.

I don't think her comments about Blake "fighting for freedom" should be taken as anything more than a statement about Blake. That said, it has always been my position that Weiss is not nearly as set in her opinions as others think. Her opinion of the White Fang never seemed that authentic. She struck me more as someone who simply did not understand why she had to deal with this sort of thing when she herself did nothing to deserve it and rationalized it by demonizing the group.
