Went to FB..and my son-in-law, voted for Mromney..and he writes...."well maybe

now we can get the truth on Libya". WTF????? (I only go to FB about once a month whether I need it or not- cannot deal with it)

OBVIOUSLY they watch FAUX news.... What's to know about Libya?
What am I missing??? Something about Obama not telling the truth early on that it was a terrorist attack, or something?
I don't know WHY these people breed.

about Benghazi in an interview, there is proof, and the media hid it until yesterday, so it wouldn't affect the election." Then, I turned it off.

Faux and their sycophants have been pushing their own reality narrative now FOR YEARS, and Tuesday night, they received the Mother of all wake-up calls.

Now we will witness Faux - and the rethuglican party - confront their increasing non-relevance, which should be both tragic yet comedic at the same time.

In Lybia in yet another part of the Fast and Furious program, knowing full well that they would be used to kill the Real White Americans, one of whom was Not Gay how dare you, in the Benghazi consulate, and that to facilitate that attack Obama withdrew all of our troops from Iraq. The cover up was facilitated by the crypto Muslim sharia law promoting lame stream media, who helped Obama pretend that there was no attack on the consulate for two weeks while the bodies of those brave Americans were paraded around the streets of Fallujah.

I think I have most of the details of this scandal, but I may have left some minor details out.

Of course, they've been feeding off Benghazi for weeks now, and regurgitating the outrage and the excruciating ( and truthy! ) "details" endlessly, so it's only natural that anyone on our side who's been monitoring them should be able to recite the menu competently.

You just added a lovely flair to your description; I can taste their fake outrage from here.

to keep the administration tied up in investigations or to try impeachment because they have no other avenues to pursue to harrass him. We seriously need to have the President's back these four years.

We do not have time to kick back and enjoy our victories. The work is only half done. The republicans in Congress were more than willing to crater this country to unseat and punish "the Black man." It is time they tasted their own medicine.

The only way we're going to get any real, progressive/liberal agenda through congress is to retake the House in 2014. We need to start working on that now.

...CANNOT TRUST today's republican party to work toward the common good. They have already shown they will cut their nose -- and ours -- off to spite their face.

They've had more than enough chances. For this country to really move forward, it's time to send the republican party and it's band of crazies into the dustbin of history.

...he'll have no clue what Benghazi is about...or any interest. He'll be onto the next Bullshit mountain poutrage. See if he remembers "fast and furious"...LOL. Just like they roll out the new fall models, faux is sure to roll out a new "scandal" to keep the unhinged watching and chasing their tails. It's an amazing marketing tool that keeps the network's ratings from tanking.

The problem with President Obama is he's too damn efficient and ethical...they can't find a good scandal to nail him with. Not as though they won't keep trying...

I tell them that many people have died, many more will die, and they all know the chance they are taking when they go overseas. We all know the risks of being in service, but some are willing to take them. Local reps then talk about how there wasn't enough security and that those killed were begging for more security. I tell them that it must not have been that bad if one of those killed was relaxed enough to get on a gaming site and talk about what was going on while playing a video game.

Snip from the link-
"Gianturco wrote that Smith had been under fire before, while posted to Baghdad. When that occurred, he usually broke off his messaging. "We'd freak out and he'd come back OK after a bit," Gianturco wrote. But Tuesday night, after reporting "GUNFIRE," Smith "disconnected and never returned," he added.

A few hours earlier, Smith had posted, "assuming we don't die tonight. We saw one of our 'police' that guard the compound taking pictures," he recounted."


Yes it is sad that people died, but I hate to let reps change history to one that they prefer.
