Desperation politics

[Gramps]

That sums up the purpose for rightwing carping about an issue that should have been put to rest along with the bodies of the victims who had to have realized when they subscribed to serving as government agents in radical climates like Benghazi that danger lurked every shad0w of those domains. Enuf said!

Benghazi when placed beside other events would never have drawn a second headline if not for the rightwinger's need to focus attention away from the major issues confronting our nation. This is not to suggest their deaths were not unfortunate as are all of those resulting from our ill-fated war effort in Iraq. But all of the ballyhoo it raises cannot bring them back as is always the case when anyone dies in the service of their country.

I think it's the administrations fault they're still hearing about this. You're right, the attacks in Benghazi aren't huge when compared to other events but if the administration hadn't of started in with their bullshit right away about some piss-ant movie producer in California being responsible for the attacks then the country probably would have seen it as the simple act of terrorism it was and then moved on. But, they couldn't do that, they had to spread the bullshit thick and far from the very beginning and I think that's why this is still an issue.

There is nothing to be gained by this ongoing scrap except to spread dissention in the political arena. Shit happens every day however unfortunate it is.

That's what people do, spread dissention in the political arena. it's an American pastime. You can't possibly be surprised by this. The administration guaranteed this would be bigger than it should be the moment they tried to lay responsibility for a terrorist event in North Africa on a You Tube video from California no one had ever heard of until they brought it to everyone's attention. That kind of obvious horsecrap tends to draw scrutiny.

They keep a death grip on this nothingburger only because it's all they have.

They have no legislative accomplishments. They have no ideas. They don't even have any real scandals about which to complain.

 

[as seen on tv]

i dont think republicans were concealing white house mails on this topic. you're complaining about the wrong party.

only the guilty try to conceal evidence.

it's the same old story -- keeping the base simmering with outrage with poutrages.

If an HC administered ass-stomping wasn't looming on the 2016 horizon, it's also doubtful we'd be hearing/reading about it to the extent that we are.
