Even Republicans Are Destroying Their Own Party’s Benghazi Conspiracy Theories

Former Secretary of Defense Robert Gates, himself a Republican, mocked Republicans on CBS’ “Face the Nation” Sunday for their criticism of the Obama administration’s handling of Benghazi, saying they had a “cartoonish” impression of military capabilities. Gates also scoffed at the idea that the State Department engaged in a cover up to protect Hillary Clinton. When asked, his answer was a definitive, “No.”

He continued, “I worked with Secretary Clinton pretty closely for two and a half years, and I wouldn’t want to try and be somebody… trying to convince her to say something she did not think was true.”

Any day now, someone is going to ask House Republicans about their strutting talk of defunding of Libya, which led to their own party rebuking them. Or maybe they’ll be asked about their defunding of security. Or maybe someone will ask John McCain if he knew ahead of time about the security issues in Benghazi as he claimed, why didn’t he say something. Or maybe someone will ask Republicans how the sequester is impacting our ability to protect ourselves at home and abroad, given their efforts to defund the government on the day of the Boston bombing.

It’s called overplaying your hand.

1. It is unfortunate but...

The Democrats have to be that aggressive against this present bunch of "Republicans"... OMG! If I were them, I would be so ashamed to tell anyone I was a Republican...

[kentuck]

3. They are treasonous scum...

To put it politely...

[alterfurz]

7. Today's GOP...

[Suich]

2. Watch the republican segue this week from

Benghazi to the IRS! One "scandal" is as good as another!

[kentuck]

4. That's their plan..

To keep our country in a crisis intentionally. Treasonous.

[zbdent]

5. "Any day now" ... seriously? Someone actually believes that the "liberally-biased media"

is going to call the Republicans out for their BS?

I'd likely believe that the Dow would hit 17K and the jobless rate goes to 1 percent next week.

6. They are over playing their hand, and the Dems as usual are under playing theirs. The repukes blew

it with the Clinton impeachment , even though Clinton was an idiot and a sexual predator the repukes hypocrisy was only amplified

With Obama this will be an even bigger blow back against them

[Bushitler Cheney]

8. Christian scum

All the repug hate stems from their delusional belief in a flying spaghetti man. They can't stand Muslim countries. They are the most intolerant group in history. I would rather live under Sharia law than under a Christian president.

[kentuck]

9. I don't know what to think of your post.??

It is so .......tolerant.

[Buzz Clik]

10. Do you live in the US? If so, you might consider moving to a country with Sharia law.

12. I am a Christian,

and those people of the GOP do not represent me. They are a disgrace and their ideology is antithetical to the teachings of Christ.

[another_liberal]

15. Thank you . . .

Thank you for a much needed clarification on that point!

[TeamPooka]

13. FYI, You live under a Christian President now.

he''s not a born again fundie but he's a Christian who attends church so....
We'll miss you as you leave America in search of your Sharia overlords.

You might want to rethink that username too.
Hitler analogies are never a good thing no matter who uses it.

[datasuspect]

14. ur doing it wrong

first time disruptor?

bless your heart.

[hrmjustin]

18. I am a christian and I am not scum thank you!

And I highly doubt that you would like Sharia law! I know I would not because they would execute gays like me.

[Thinkingabout]

11. With the hype of the hearings I expected to turn on the news and find all the current administration

Resigning shame, did I miss what was going to bring down the Democrats or was this just more wasteful spending party who says we have a spending problem.

[CarmanK]

16. GOP privatized consulate security, US military too far away, Libyian Army and militia saved the day!

[SummerSnow]

17. See, the GOP is going bonkers
