    Add it to the list, lol.

    Birther Gate
    Fast & Furious Gate
    Solyndra Gate
    Benghazi Gate

    At least they are persistent, lol. Unfortunately the rest of the country realizes they are crazy and desperately trying to make issues out of nothing. And the fact that they were quiet for 8 years during Bush's years just shows how incredibly hypocritical they are. But you gotta hand it to them for one thing, they provide a lot of comedy!!

    It is a sad state when citizens don't care about 4 citizens murdered on foreign soil, especially when help was available! I expect he will throw anyone under the bus to protect his hide. Why people fall on the sword for him is insane! I look for him to throw the american citizens under the same bus, and then walk away with their money!

    Its not that no one cares about people getting killed its no one cares about this idiotic witch hunt for a non existent "conspiracy". And no there was no help available nobody was watching it in real time telling anyone to stand down. If anyone believes that they are utterly stupid and incompetent.

    Since when have we said we don't care about the four American citizens? What we don't care about is using those four deaths for political gain in a desperate attempt to make the President out to be someone he is not and create a conspiracy that doesn't exist. What you guys are doing to these four innocent individuals is disgusting. You should be ashamed of yourselves!

    Yea, the help WAS available and WAS there. Those people were the help... how do you not get that? There was over 30 individuals guarding the annex, they even took over the embassy and gained control. Two individuals unfortunately died from a rocket... that does not mean they were hiding in a room waiting for help. The help was there, they were defending the annex, they had control. This happens every day in the Middle East.

    What you are confusing is the 20 minute delay at the initial attack on the Consulate where they told the two CIA members not to go to the Consulate with what happened in the annex. Fox News has brainwashed you in to thinking that they were locked in the annex desperately begging for help. They were not, and there is absolutely no evidence that supports that claim. No one was told to stand down.

    You are lying like a good little Republican.

    As far as rice is concerned, I bet most of those on the witch hunt haven't seen or heard what she had to say.
    I don't hold out much hope of rightwing comprehension of nuanced statements in context, since their track record is pretty darn bad in this area.

    If you bother to view these vids, you will be immediately struck by the consistency of the message the ambassador delivers. Its almost word for word in both interviews. She really learned those talking points.

    Pandering fools the lot of them.

    The sheer folly that the GOP has opted to engage in speaks volumes as to why they lost the last presidential election to a poorly rated and arguably very ineffective president. Instead of engaging in the business of this country, they have, in this case, opted to provide minute long soundbites to provide intellectual masturbatory fodder for the mindless that follow them around.

    The entire event has been explained ad nauseum. There was no cover up, no refusal to provide support, nothing more than tragic incident that is part of the dangerous portion of international diplomacy. Similar things have happened in the past. Similar things will happen in the future. the world can, at time,s be a dangerous place and not everyone is in love with the history and status of the US.

    This fool Gowdy, an incredibly apt description, is pandering the the very low of the party. With his ridiculous challenge, that he most certainly knows will not be met, he now has carte blanche to make the ridiculous claim that the president is evading or avoiding testifying. For the weak minded, may I point out that presidents do not testify before Congress for the satisfaction of right wing radio loyalists with no good cause?

    This is what substitutes for thought these days. Mindless soundbites that have no context that are championed as intellectual triumphs. With behavior this reprehensible and predatory on the minds of the citizens, the US now deserves to be led by the wolves they elect with the hope of being tossed a crumb, a morsel to explain away their own self imposed serfdom at the hands of these politicians.

    All in my wise and correct opinion, of course.

    There was no help from BH Obama, that is clear for all to see.

    How is asking BH Obama to tell the truth disgusting? The shame here is the lack of concern shown by BHO for our people's lives before, during and after the terrorist attack that killed them. All for political reasons.

    So you think that people get their information from Fox news but put their hands over their ears when Fox is playing the video of what Rice had to say?
    So when she said that the murders were just the result of people pissed about a video you believe her?

    There was no protest in Libya as Rice says over and over that it is clear that there was. She lied and most likely knew that she was lying. She says that there was no evidence that there was an imminent attack possible in Libya when our people had been attack before and the Red Cross was driven out of Libya. the day he died our ambassador said that he was in danger but Rice says that there was no indication that the people in Libya were in imminent danger. I can see why the liar in chief wants her as sec of state.

    Yes, they won't stop until the fat drug addict on the radio and fox come up with another worthless 'scandal' to whine and scream about.

    Lying? How have I lied? The Benghazi consulate had already been bombed PRIOR to the ambassador's request for added security and the fatal attack. Did you even know that? Show us an example of the Bush admin not responding to an embassy attack they way that the Obama admin did. Regardless, Bush isn't president anymore, and he has to answer for the debacle in Benghazi. You can't hide him behind Bush forever.

    Again, you are not accepting that Obama could have chosen avoiding the risk of collateral damage and the breech of Libyan air space over the lives of a few Americans. He's quite a cold man in reality.

    So, you would leave them to die too, right? Just admit it.

    Obama Says Attacks In Libya And Egypt Are Just "Bumps In The Road"

    It's too bad you've substituted angry hateful rhetoric for fact based
    rationale. It makes your case all the more absurd and pointless.

    What 'help' was he or anyone supposed to give?
    A 'fly over'? Come on, at least TRY and be realistic.


    BS! How has the President or anyone else 'lied'? Keep in mind not using the word 'terrorist' in the first mention of the attack is not a lie.
    How much more 'concern' do you want or expect?


    She said it once, how much more of what she said days and hour later has fox shown you?
    None? All they have done play the one clip over and over and over and over and over.......
    Why am I not shocked?


    Now who is screaming 'liar, liar'??
    At least try to tell the truth man, it's really not hard to do.

    To quote one of your buddies,

    "It's too bad you've substituted angry hateful rhetoric for fact based

    She was sent out to mislead the American people, so yeah, she's going to have to answer for it.
