I like a lot of your posts because of their passion for the truth, but this one is lacking. <br /><br /><br />Here's Benghazi from a sane person's perspective (ie a true non-partisan)<br /><br /><br />No Obama probably didn't know or remember specifically of the notification of this plan and even if Hilary did know, she gets this sort of intel every damn day so I don't blame her for not following through. Fact is, a lot of people want to bomb our embassies and Im sure we are aware of many plots and do nothing about it...which is normal, otherwise we'd be guilty of paranoia. <br /><br /><br />Obama knew afterwards that in fact it was an intended group activity guided by a Muslim extremist group, doesn't really matter which one. I think calling this a non-terrorist act was silly and omissive, a statement he certainly should be called out for. Otherwise, this was a slight oversight; but it was the shady coverup that allowed for the Repubs to jump all over it. <br /><br /><br />Republicans did use this as a focal point: some did so because Obama is black, some because Hilary is a woman. Others called him out because...well, he skewed the truth intentionally. <br /><br /><br />Simply: he should've been called out on this and he was. Yes, the Repubs are doing it for their own reasons but we don't need that reasoning to conclude this. Similarly, I don't particularly care why Obama and Hilary omitted and twisted this one, slap on the wrist that they did. <br /><br /><br />Sarah hates Jimmy. Jimmy stole candy. Sarah tattled that Jimmy stole Candy. <br /><br /><br />You really think Obama didn't steal the candy on this one? I think he stole a piece or two. I don't hate him for it, but I don't see how this is in doubt.Dustin Jaquezhttp://www.facebook.com/dustin.jaqueznoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57113078446695664.post-41716670681643685622013-05-15T04:30:47.700-05:002013-05-15T04:30:47.700-05:00just pointing out that where people stand on this ...just pointing out that where people stand on this issue is determined by party affiliation. true equivalence. man, if bush had done the things obama has done the past 4+ years he'd be catching an abundance of flak from so-called liberals. nothing false about that it.Ben Grimnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57113078446695664.post-39050407045729697442013-05-15T02:11:30.118-05:002013-05-15T02:11:30.118-05:00Shhhhh.....Shhhhh.....chauncey devegahttp://wearerespectablenegroes.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57113078446695664.post-71446888284126485812013-05-15T02:11:23.572-05:002013-05-15T02:11:23.572-05:00False equivalence?False equivalence?chauncey devegahttp://wearerespectablenegroes.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57113078446695664.post-79595735405381170402013-05-15T02:11:08.314-05:002013-05-15T02:11:08.314-05:00that is a prescient--perhaps and hopefully prematu...that is a prescient--perhaps and hopefully premature--post. good though.chauncey devegahttp://wearerespectablenegroes.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57113078446695664.post-2975829952715200902013-05-14T17:12:15.059-05:002013-05-14T17:12:15.059-05:00Why are they going at Obama over this 'manufac...Why are they going at Obama over this 'manufactured' scandal?

Sorry I can't provide a direct hyperlink---it's the way his website is composed. Look for the "Eulogy" article:<br /><br /><br />http://rudepundit.blogspot.com/<br /><br /><br />I voted for Obama twice. No way I couldn't, with Palin, Ryan, Romney, McCain, and the rest of the bastards lurking. Yet I never for a second held that Obama or his surrogates had my back. My guess is that he'll be impeached. They'll have their lynching. And at this point, with Gitmo still open, drone warfare, attacks on marijuanna dispensaries, silly stances on OTC birth control, who the fuck cares what happens to him?Lee Violahttp://www.facebook.com/lee.viola.94noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57113078446695664.post-54635398323350287262013-05-14T11:21:26.107-05:002013-05-14T11:21:26.107-05:00Funny, few I have seen are calling out this obviou...Funny, few I have seen are calling out this obvious dimension.

Gingrich and Bush were playing back then. These conservatives are a gang of idiots. Just look at the repubs in congress that plan on running for president. I would think God liked me if Rubio or Ron Paul's idiot son were to run against me.<br /><br />This is worse than the Clinton scandals. They're going after the president for their intentional fuckups. They turned down the request for needed funds. I say the Democratic Party needs to get their heads out of their asses.

And yet I keep wondering--what the hell are we going to do about it? Are we going to call them out on it--or are we going to go, "Well, let them do it anyway, because Obama did do this or that, and he must be punished anyway."Scopedognoreply@blogger.com
