The Benghazi Story goes critical

[Gonad the Barbarian]

I think Gowdy is physically melting.

 

[Balt]

Hillary is finally getting tired of this shit I think.

 

[Gonad the Barbarian]

I want to know what kind of lozenge that was. She's kicking ass again.

Edit: Gowdy's embarrassing himself now. This circus can't look good in any way to anyone but the R faithful. I wonder how the media's going to spin it.

Holy shit it's over!

 

[MomentsofSanity]

Holy shit it's finally over... What a complete waste of time. Nothing new. At all. And for a hearing that wasn't about emails it seems to have been a lot about emails and little about preventing another Benghazi type attack.

 

[Balt]

Only 11 hours? Weak.

 

[ivwshane]

I'm sure this hearing changed nobodies mind, if you are against her you will still be against her, if you are for her you will still be for her.

Did anyone hear a single piece of new information?

 

[trenchfoot]

Hillary is finally getting tired of this shit I think.

So now it's ended and I think she did a pretty good job of standing tall and taking the hits.

She's just added a bunch of points on my scorecard, even with as little as I like her as a person.

 

[ivwshane]

Now it's time to check out the spin on all the news channels.

 

[Balt]

They could have saved themselves three hours just by telling Jim Jordan to shut up about the youtube video.

 

[Gonad the Barbarian]

I'm sure this hearing changed nobodies mind, if you are against her you will still be against her, if you are for her you will still be for her.

Did anyone hear a single piece of new information?

If you were on the fence she more than likely won you over here.

I'm watching Maddow, is Andrea Mitchel drunk?

Edit: Maybe she's just still a moron.

 

[Mai72]

New president right there! She kicked ass.

 

[senseamp]

New president right there! She kicked ass.

GOP should have a hearing with Hillary Clinton every month until she is elected president. Oh yeah, Jeb Bush tweeted something about the hearing, in case someone cares

 

[ivwshane]

Lol at the benghazi movie trailer playing on Fox.

 

[Bitek]

Cliffs? Didn't watch any of this.

Did just see a clip where the chairman was asked what he learned today.

His answer was "nothing new".
/facepalm

That pretty much sums up the hearing.

 

[ivwshane]

Fox isn't even covering the hearing any more. Lol

 

[Bitek]

OK then. What a waste of time. I can't believe we're paying for this bullshit. Congress should just refund us their salaries.

As many of you know I'm no fan of Hillary, but she fucking owned the Repubs -- fucking owned them!!

The most obvious effort to damage her was the effort to make it appear like she didn't care about he victims, but that strategy isn't new for Repubs. One of the most common attack strategies used by Repubs is to imply that Dems dislike and poorly treat members of the military in spite of the fact that a good many Dems in Washington were former military themselves.

I don't think this hearing will move the needle very much on Hillary but I'd suspect the one group that might move one way or the other, independents like me, will increase the support for her. So, ultimately, if the goal of the Repubs was to harm her politically, and anyone with more than a single functioning brain cell would have to agree that was the intent, if anything she comes out of this in a stronger position.

Lastly, I think the outcome of this was predicted by some in the Republican party that were against this hearing -- it looks like they knew this would happen and didn't want to give Hillary any boost. Well, Goudy and company may well have sealed the deal that results in Hillary taking the oath of office in January 2017.

Hillary fucking owned them!

I had it on the last couple hours while I was playing video games. It was just bad. The worst I saw was when the lady was asking by name if each person was still there when she left for her home on that night, after saying that she was the only one to leave then, with the rest of her people still there.

I don't even like Hillary, but she did well and was much better than any of the republicans I heard from there.

Edit: I knew it was going to be bad, when the republicans started just making up stories.

 

[HomerJS]

GOP was more interested in Sidney Blumenthal then Al-Qaeda. SO what were they really trying to find out here?

BTW - Group who would have the most answers about security around the world is the CIA. Why isn't Davis Patreus on the stand?

Not a Hilary fan either but she'll be pulling her foot outta Gowdy's ass for a week. After this I'm a closer to being a fan.

 

[Brian Stirling]

If the effort to make it appear she didn't care about the victims was bad enough, the attempt to put words in her mouth in the statement that one of the Repubs suggested she should have given was beyond sickening -- that fuck would get his face busted in the street but like the scum he is he said that evil in a venue he knew he could get away with it. Punk!

I got the feeling that many of the Repubs had resigned themselves to not being able to "get" Hillary but that they were playing to there base and no amount of evil from them would be bad in there eyes. If you can't get her at least make it look to your base that that was your goal.

If old Hillary can handle that day long grilling, maybe she can endure a campaign.
