After setting up the Republican panelists (Boris Epshteyn and John Fund) -- both absolutely frothing at the mouth and still perpetuating the Obama Benghazi Myth -- Maher quotes Bush's comments immediately following 9/11.
Bush: "apparent act of terror"
Maher (sarcasm): One plane, maybe not, but two planes....?
Bush: we'll hunt down the "folks" who did this
Maher: folks? really?
Matt Taibbi was awesome! He spoke about his article in RS, Greed and Debt: The True Story of Mitt Romney and Bain Capital, just thrashing Romney and Leverage (*=Debt*) Buy Out scheme. Dipshit 1 & 2 went after him, but really had nothing, and immediately changed the topic to "Obama increased the debt by 65%."

Then said Obama admitted that 4 dead was not optimal.
Jesus.
And this was a newsbreak in my liberal radio channel during Norman Goldman.

(492 posts)They know that they cannot run on their record. Case in point, where's Bush? Republicans accuse Obama at using Romney's own words against him in attacks as small minded and unimportant. Yet they are doing the exact same thing by making such a huge fuss over this Libya talking point. Republicans continue to politicize Libya even after families have requested they don't. Is the Libya situation improving? Talking about it isn't changing the fact that American's died and it isn't catching the terrorists. So what is their motive? Bash Obama, plain and simple. Gain political movement is their only goal. Do you hear any Republicans offering help or suggestions as to how to catch the terrorists? They aren't even calling for military action! That would be calling for another war!
I'm really hoping and praying that the American people see right through the Republicans disgusting tactics and vote for President Obama, a true military leader!

(5,252 posts)...accuse Democrats of, say, being "big government" and "fiscally irresponsible." In so doing, they take cover under the "small government/fiscally responsible" umbrella while, as we know, they're anything but. And after all these years, the Dems have yet to figure out how to throw it back where it belongs and make it stick; they just roll over.
