"Their idea of government is throwing insults." Yawn. Obama says that Republicans "gotta stop just hatin' all the time", I guess we should look to his example on how to include and tolerate the opposition. The senate Repoublicans just had an idea that if cities want to reject duly constituted federal laws, there would be consequences for that. In other words, the GOP had an idea that federal laws apply to all of us, equally. Shocking, I know. The Senate democrats blocked it, because that idea is offensive to Democrats. Funny, I didn't hear anyone caling them the party of opposition for blocking that. I agree that the GOP Congress needs to propose more bills articulating their positions, and let the Dems block them all, and let Obama veto the ones the Dems can't block. |

From what I understand (didn't watch any of it, but read summaries), ther ewas evidence presented which might suggest that Hilary suspected this was a planned terrorist attack, while saying pubicly (to cover her azz) that it was a spontaneous response to the video.
Let's remember that the video was made by an American citizen. Hilary is supposed to be working for that person. Instead, she (and Obama) gleefully threw him under the bus, for political expediency. |

Not to mention the previous investigations that went deep on the topic and found no intentional misrepresentation. |

Is her explanation, especially when it contradicts her previous actions, always enough for you? Yesterday's hearing referred to some pretty blunt private communications from Hilary, within 48 hours of the attack, that she thought it was a planned terrorist attack. Yet every public statement from Hilary, Obama, Jay Carney, and Susan Rice, blamed the video, thus blaming an American citizen. In my opinion, she stuck to the video story, knowing that there was at least a great chance it was false, to paint a picture that no one could have reasonably foreseen the attack. It wasn't true, and it threw an American citizen under the bus, But you have no concerns, because unless she openly admits she was lying, then she couldn't possibly have been lying. |

pretty much sums it up....
Hillary Clinton showed us a glimpse of her soul at Benghazi hearings. It was chilling By K.T. McFarland Published October 23, 2015 I did not watch the Benghazi hearings, unlike many others, in hopes of catching Secretary Clinton out, with my ears perked up for some admission that could sink her presidential ambitions. Secretary Clinton did not disappoint in her performance on Thursday. She admitted to no wrongdoing, nor to breaking any laws. Mistakes were made by others, the fault lies elsewhere. Secretary Clinton was far more adept at bobbing and weaving than the members of Congress who questioned her were at pinning her down. She put up with hours and hours of questions, and no one laid a glove on her. She brushed off blame by saying security decisions were handled at lower levels of the State Department professional staff, not by the secretary. She didn't receive Ambassador Stevens' requests for more security #^&#^& implying that if only she had things might have turned out differently. It was a masterful performance. She showed enormous discipline and nearly super#^&human stamina. She let nothing slip. But in the end she let everything slip. She got a perfect score, but failed the test. She didn't mean to, but she showed us a glimpse into her soul. It was chilling. We now know that when Secretary Clinton met the plane carrying the bodies of the four Americans who died at Benghazi she lied about what happened. Hillary Clinton showed us a glimpse of her soul at Benghazi hearings. It was chilling. She stood over the flag#^&draped coffins of four dead Americans and blamed their deaths on an Internet video, which caused a demonstration outside the consulate to turn into a deadly attack. She looked into the eyes of the families of the fallen heroes and swore she would bring the videomaker to justice. But she was lying . She knew they died from a planned terrorist attack from an Al Qaeda#^&like group. That's what she told her family and foreign leaders according to newly released emails. Why? Because the Obama administration had an election to win eight weeks later, and a terrorist attack that killed four Americans didn't fit into that plan. President Obama asked voters to reelect him because he had killed Usama bin Laden. Al Qaeda was on the ropes. Qaddafi was dead and the Libyan war a success. The wave of war was a receding. President George W. Bush's War on Terror was over because Obama and Clinton had won it. A terrorist attack that killed Americans at Benghazi did not fit into that campaign narrative, so it had to be retold and spun into a different story. It wasn't radical Islamist terrorists, but a spontaneous demonstration that got out of control in reaction to an obscure Internet video. In the end, the Benghazi hearings probably didn't change many minds. Secretary Clinton's supporters will say it was a waste of time, a politically motivated witchhunt. Secretary Clinton's detractors will say she never answered the questions. But for me it wasn't the questions or the answers that mattered. It wasn't about negligence or criminality or incompetence. Instead it was #^&#^& and still is #^&#^& about character. And Secretary Clinton has been found wanting. |

(1) do you agree that in the immediate aftermath of the attack, the administration was sticking to the "video" theory? Was there any hint, in the first 48 hours, that they weren't confident it was the video? For God's sake, one of the victim's father, said that Hilary told him that they were going to arrest the guy who made the video. (2) do you believe, based on Hilary's private communications that have come to light, that she must have though there was a chance it was a planned terrorist attack? If you agree with (1) and (2), how can you not hold her accountabke for blaming an innocent US citizen, for 4 murders? How would you like it is teh SecState went on national TV and called you out for something you didn't do? It's not like her word is all that credible at this point. She's a pathological liar (I was shot at in Kosovo, Bill didn't cheat on me but was framed by the GOP, there were no work emails among what I deleted from my server). So why do you continue to accept everything she says, as God's word? |

The evidence after the attack was all over the map. Militants taking credit then not taking credit. Attackers claiming the video was indeed their motivation etc...the next day both Obama and Clinton referred to the attackers as terrorists and heavily armed militants. This is with over a dozen video protests in the region many of which were violent. The emails presented last night have to be put in context of the thinking at that moment which by Clinton's admission went back and forth. Add to that the multiple investigations which concluded the talking points were led by the CIA and not manipulated for political purposes. I know you just don't want to let go, perhaps this will help. Nobody at the IRS broke the law either :smokin: http://www.cnn.com/2015/10/23/politi...rty/index.html |

But. That's. Not. What. She. Said. At. The. Time. She said, repeatedly, that it was the video. If she had said, "we're trying to figure it out", I would have no issue with that. She knew there was plenty of evidence that it was something other than the video, but that explanation would paint her in the best possible light, so who cares if it involved publicly blaming a citizen she swore to serve? Do you listen to yourself? |

Days after the attack, she said "We’ve seen rage and violence directed at American embassies over an awful Internet video that we had nothing to do with." (so don't blame me!) http://www.redstate.com/2015/10/22/h...terror-attack/ Yet the day after the attack (according to the hearings yesterday) she told the Egyptian Prime Minister Kandil "We know that the attack in Libya had nothing to do with the film. It was a planned attack—not a protest." https://reason.com/blog/2015/10/22/h...benghazi-video How many more do you want? You said I don't want to let it go. Wrong. The issue, is that you don't want to go near it, because she has a "D" after her last name. |
How many lies are told by politicians every day? The whole Iraq war was based on a lie

You don't justify awful behavior by pointing to other bad behavior. (2) only the tin foil hat crowd thinks Bush lied. He was wrong, as were many, many people. No evidence that he intentionally lied, if there were, he would have been crucified by everyone, and I would have been leading the charge. Being wrong, isn't the same as lying. |
According to the father of one of the victims, as his son's body was taken off plane, draped in the flag, Hilary told the father that she was going to arrest the filmmaker who was responsible for his son's death.
We know that Hilary told the Egyptian prime minister that she knew it was a planned terrorist attack. That email was revealed in the hearing yesterday. Yet after that, in public, the administration (you know, the most open and honest administration ever) claimed it was the video. And Hilary is declared the winner by her PR folks such as Spence. I don't get it. If someone is liberal, they cannot be called a liar when they are a liar? |
