Whataboutery is the general class of 'defense' in which one responds to criticism for misdeeds by saying, in effect, 'Well, whatabout this totally unrelated misdeed of the other guys?'

Well, here's whatabout it:

1. If the other wrong thing was done, it doesn't make your wrong thing OK.
2. You're just using tactics to try to make the discussion be about the other guy's supposed wrong thing, so it won't be about yours.

Whataboutery is always bullshit, and a sign that no real defense is available for the original accusation.

Yet another bagger who cannot make a case and a one man cheering section for the ill informed. Wait till he figures out how to tune in Fox News.

You really should give this Benghazi BS a rest. It shows nothing other than your gullibility for Fox News contrived "scandals."
FWIW, here is how this dim wit responded to one of my posts from a couple of days ago. Blame for Benghazi terrorist attack is to be laid at the feet of Hillary but Bush gets a free pass for getting 4,500 US troops killed and $6 Trillion in debt because he was the commander in chief. Let's ignore the fact that the existence of WMD was trumped up by Cheney and Rumsfeld and Colin Powell warned them that "if they break it, we will own it". We did, still do to the tune of $6 Trillion.

You are correct about one thing. A great deal of time has been wasted responding to nearly unintelligible, and largely off-topic posts. I do see that you two appear to have learned grammar from the same source.

One example would be post 50, in which you repeated an allegation in support of post 41.

There may be others but I have no intention at all of reading this whole thread.

Hmmm, I guess, but it was more a response to your inane post 49
