The Benghazi Story goes critical

[Theb]

I can't believe how hard she crushed that. They tried to grind her down over 11 hours and she made it look like they lobbed her a meatball and she knocked it out of the park. I'm sure I would've flubbed something by hour 3 and that's all you'd hear about for the rest of my campaign.

I've never been a Hilary fan. I think it's terrible for a husband and wife to swap the Whitehouse. I've been frustrated that the DNC seems to be foisting her on us after she was rejected last go around for the outsider candidate. For the first time I'm kind of glad the Hilary is going to be our next president. Thanks GOP!

A pivotal point in time for the Repubs. They tried to shoot Hillary in the ass with a bullet made in Benghazi and the bullet mysteriously ricocheted right back at them.

Apparently, either her hide is a lot thicker than they thought or the elephant gun they were using will only shoot elephants no matter what direction you point it in.

The Repubs need to find some other way to derail Hillary's campaign, because the folks they now have to run against her look like amateurs compared with the performances Hillary put on in her debut debate AND in her stoic, enduring act at the hearing.

If I were Reince Priebus at the moment, what with his party in revolt, the Benghazi Show being shot full of holes and sinking and his war against Trump looking like Custer's last stand, I'd be ready to pack my bags and head off into the loving arms of Corporate America where he can live off of the pay-offs he's earned from them.

The Benghazi committee is full of GOP back benchers, she was expected to do well, but yeah, I don't think anyone expected her to crush it like that.

Remember after blowjob gate when Bill Clinton's approval rating went to like 90% as he was being impeached?

Think the GOP will ever learn that these manufactured scandals break down and ultimately hurt them more than they help.

LOL! No.

"Within twenty-four hours, according to another new document, Mrs. Clinton advised the prime minister of Egypt,”We know that the attack in Libya had nothing to do with the film. It was a planned attack — not a protest.” -

This is relevant because?.......

Because it lets us know that IGBT reads The Daily Caller. A website started by noted pantshitter Tucker Carlson.

I'm sure most people who read the Daily Caller were totally going to vote for Clinton before the hearing.

For one thing it gives you a little insight into her character by her contriving and perpetuating a false narrative.

Hillary Clinton's 5 Biggest Lies In Her Benghazi Testimony

Hillary Cared Deeply About the Human Cost.

Hillary Thought The Attacks Had Something to Do With a YouTube Video.

Hillary Didn’t Use Sidney Blumenthal As an Advisor.

Hillary Was Transparent About Her Emails.

Chris Stevens Was Responsible for His Own Death.

I heard said that she may have neglected to take into account that the FBI was listening intently to her testimony. The media will obviously accept anything she said as will the 44% of Americans that think she's a wonderful person and totally presidential material. But the FBI, not. so. much.

Care to comment on the facts I posted on the last page?

Where is your faux outrage about all the other deaths that are not cared about by yourself and the GOP?

Why aren't you demanding investigations into all those other events?

Go back into your la la land.

Makes as much sense as what you just posted.

Having an Einstein quote in your signature still does not make you a deep thinker, but I think I have mentioned that before.

So what? Are you inferring that the diary entry was falsified in some way?

 

[senseamp]

Yawn, nobody cares about film or no film or some film, except teabaggers.
It has nothing to do with preventing future attacks.

your right, she lies so much no one cares anymore.


And the dem's are so stocked with people to lead the country that the best they can do is put up a serial liar.

If she's the best the dems have to lead the country what does it say about the party?

Seriously?

It's relevant because Hillary was pushing the story to the press and the public that the events in Benghazi were due to a video when she knew they weren't. This narrative was later pushed on Sunday news shows by Susan Rice, by Hillary as the caskets arrived at Andrews containing the four people who died in the attack with the families present and even Obama was pushing it over a week later.

It was a lie crafted and pushed upon the press, the world, the American people and the families and friends of those who perished solely for political purposes.

Hillary, knowing she was heading for a White House run, wished to put a positive spin on her tenure as Secretary of State. Obama had repeatedly stated that Al Qaeda was on the run. Six weeks out from the election, the last thing he wanted was a clear indication that he was incompetent and lying, yet again.

The video story was crafted for political purposes.

Now, I get that that is A-OK to many supporters. It may even be OK to you. That's fine. But anyone that can accept the actions of Hillary and the Obama administration in this regard has no ground to stand on accusing Republicans of staging the Benghazi investigation for political purposes.

This is the state of politics in the United States of America. Both sides are free to play by the same rules. The escalation is both predictable and inevitable. It should come as no surprise to anyone that follows politics on even a minor level.

If anyone thinks that what's good for the goose is not good for the gander, they are free to pout, whine, lament, piss and moan all they wish. Just don't expect it to have any effect on me.

If they bring a knife, we bring a gun. The U.S. political system in a nutshell. Only the people can change it if it's even possible to do so at this point.

You haven't proven any lies, so the rest of your argument is irrelevant. What does that say about your party?

Its just an odd thing to get hung up on. I'm sure the video had something to do with the attack but why does it even matter if she had said the video had nothing to do with the attack would that somehow make it better or make the entire investigation pointless?
Does any Politician not fib, stretch the truth or outright lie ever?

You parsed some words and convinced yourself of some bullshit. And now you are repeating it. Doesn't make it any less bullshit.

try as I might, I can't seem to find a quote of Hillary directly blaming the video... best I can get is her saying "some people blame a video," which indeed is true -- some people were blaming it.

the only person who blamed the video implicitly iirc was Susan Rice, who was told that by the CIA.

sure, you can say Hillary didn't come right out and say publicly that it was a known terrorist attack, but I assume that was at the directive of the President, CIA, or DoD, while they were still investigating the situation and weren't yet ready to make a public declaration... it's not like she had anything to gain personally from it, something that would have made Obama look bad in the 2012 election probably would have helped her own political prospects.

 

[senseamp]

The video talking points "controversy" is irrelevant to the tasks of this so called "committee":
Finding out why Benghazi happened: It didn't happen because of talking points after the fact.
Preventing another Benghazi: Correct talking points aren't going to prevent another incident like Benghazi.

So the only reason for bringing them up is politics, which confirms that this is purely a taxpayer funded political exercise for the benefit of Republicans. But it even failed at that, since Hillary Clinton ripped them a new one yesterday. So why were those millions of taxpayer dollars wasted?

Can't we do something to demand reimbursement by these Republican cronies?????

And tack onto that the 65th repeal vote of the ACA is today.

It's a CRYIN' SHAME that those taxpayer dollars could be feeding families or educating the kids with much needed school books.

 

[senseamp]

One more Benghazi hearing, and it will be more than GOP has had on 9/11, where 3000 Americans died in America due to Bush and GOP's negligence.
More hearings than Iraq where 5000 Americans died in vain due to actual lies by Bush and the GOP.

Why do we accept the behavior so willingly? Do you teach your kids that it's wrong to lie and if so, why do you do that? Why would you not expect the same behavior from adults in your employ that you do your children?

Why would anyone feel that the deaths of four people in a far off land justifies fabricating stories for political purposes? The revelation that the video was a lie is not a new development. But we now know for certain with the release of emails, the release of which have been sandbagged for a long, long time, that it can not be disputed that it was a lie fabricated as part of a conspiracy for political purposes.

I respect your opinions. I find you to be fully capable of holding a meaningful conversation without all the extreme partisanship and theatrics we have here. But I am tired of the people I pay to represent me, the people I pay to represent me on the world stage, behaving in a fashion that we would consider outrageous if they were someone within our own families. It is not acceptable to me. It is not behavior that deserves to be condoned and rewarded. If you are OK with it, if you are OK with your children telling outrageous lies, please, don't bother responding to my post as there is no point continuing further.

At every election I must choose between one of two liars for every office on that ballot. I am sick and tired of picking the one that lies the least, or tells lies that even though I know they're lies, I feel I can or must believe because I have to make a choice. It's not how I live my life and I don't think it's too much to expect the same from people that I pay to represent my interests.

By accepting the behavior we both condone it and the escalation of it. When, if ever, do we say enough?
