"Everybody thought Hillary Clinton was unbeatable, right? But we put together a Benghazi special committee, a select committee, what are her numbers today?" Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.)

Oooops. :)
This is the guy they want for Speaker? Dumbasses. :rolleyes: |
No great revelation there. If anybody ever thought that the Benghazi committee had another objective, they need their head examined. Had she not done the idiotic private email server thing, the Congressional probe would have been dead and gone months ago. However, she did and it isn't.

FWIW, I had lunch of two of my old buddies from work today. Both are dyed-in-the-wool liberal Democrats with TS clearances. Both thought Hillary's email problem was disqualifying. |

No question about it, the same party responsible for the lies in the run up to the invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan for gain. Would now or ever let the truth stop them from fabricating or using innuendo to distract and confuse the simple minded. Facts and the truth, no need only confuses the narrative.
Fox News proves this works over and over again very day. All this ever was a way to hurt Clinton and Obama. Barney |

But they're not stupid, they know what sort of desperate shape they're in. Listen to what they're saying. Look at what FOX is saying. It's a fucking calamity. The country is going broke, ISIS will destroy us, Obama has ruined our "greatness", there are no jobs, Christians are being mocked and oppressed, murderous Mexicans will slaughter us all in our beds, etc., etc. Conservative Republicans are appealing to fearful, anxious white Christian Americans and encouraging the belief that all their problems are being caused by people who look different, people who have different beliefs, and people with different values. It's the same politics of fear that won an election for them in 2004. Aimed at stupid, anxious, fearful, white people, and they're going at it with even more intensity than they did in 2004. Look at FOX...it's fear mongering 24/7. It's not enough for the Democrats to deny it and say "everything's fine people." Sociologists and psychologists have identified that the human brain has a built in negative bias. We see or hear something and we're 5 times more likely to interpret it as negative/dangerous than as positive/safe. It's how our species survived 200,000 years of being small, weak, and slow. And it's built in to our nature and psychology today. What the Democrats need to do is call a spade a spade, be way more aggressive and call out conservatives and Republicans for the lying sacks of shit they are. Point out every lie and attack it and the messenger...ruthlessly. And start with the fact that Benghazi was not a State Department Embassy...it was a CIA spook station. Two of the 4 killed, Tyrone Woods and Glenn Doherty were not State Department employees...they were former Navy Seals and CIA contract spooks. Everybody who worked at the station knew what it was and what they had gotten themselves into. Security should have been the responsibility of the CIA, not the State Department. Do the facts of Benghazi make this country look bad? Does it cause our alleged "allies" to question whether they even want a US "Embassy" on their soil? Perhaps. Too bad. It's time for the ignorant electorate to be confronted with the often ugly facts of what their country is up to. |
No way! Republicans don't do "smear campaigns" because they have HONOR!
Yeah, right............... |

Corroboration
Another Republican congressman has acknowledged that the Select Committee is really about destroying Hillary.
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/...b0c5a1ce62037e If these guys are smart, they'll "disinvite" Hillary for next week. Every confrontational moment will be viewed as a political attack on her. |

'How the Press Can Deal With the Benghazi Committee' The Atlantic

"When a congressional investigation turns into a partisan operation, the media need to treat it as such." Good article in the Atlantic. |

This one addresses an issue that really makes my blood boil. This ridiculous notion that both parties are equal to blame for the mess we are in. HELL NO! It's the fucking Republicans that have gone batshit crazy! And the so called "center" is now way way way to the right of where it was 40 years ago. This chart says it all: http://i843.photobucket.com/albums/z.../a5ecd3b97.jpg Quote:

Latest claim from Gowdy about emails debunked by Rep. Cummings.

A second explosive memo from the same cache also reveals how Bush used ‘spies’ in the Labour Party to help him to manipulate British public opinion in favour of the war.
The documents, obtained by The Mail on Sunday, are part of a batch of secret emails held on the private server of Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton which U.S. courts have forced her to reveal. Former Tory Shadow Home Secretary David Davis said: ‘The memos prove in explicit terms what many of us have believed all along: Tony Blair effectively agreed to act as a frontman for American foreign policy in advance of any decision by the House of Commons or the British Cabinet. ‘He was happy to launder George Bush’s policy on Iraq and sub-contract British foreign policy to another country without having the remotest ability to have any real influence over it. And in return for what? 'For George Bush pretending Blair was a player on the world stage to impress voters in the UK when the Americans didn’t even believe it themselves’. Davis was backed by a senior diplomat with close knowledge of Blair-Bush relations who said: ‘This memo shows beyond doubt for the first time Blair was committed to the Iraq War before he even set foot in Crawford. 'And it shows how the Americans planned to make Blair look an equal partner in the special relationship to bolster his position in the UK.’ Blair’s spokesman insisted last night that Powell’s memo was ‘consistent with what he was saying publicly at the time’. The former Prime Minister has always hotly denied the claim that the two men signed a deal ‘in blood’ at Crawford to embark on the war, which started on March 20, 2003. The Powell document, headed ‘Secret... Memorandum for the President’, lifts the lid on how Blair and Bush secretly plotted the war behind closed doors at Crawford. Powell says to Bush: ‘He will present to you the strategic, tactical and public affairs lines that he believes will strengthen global support for our common cause,’ adding that Blair has the presentational skills to ‘make a credible public case on current Iraqi threats to international peace’. Five months after the summit, Downing Street produced the notorious ‘45 minutes from doom’ dossier on Saddam Hussein’s supposed Weapons of Mass Destruction. After Saddam was toppled, the dossier’s claims were exposed as bogus. Nowhere in the memo is a diplomatic route suggested as the preferred option.
