country. The press who was an accomplice to pushing us into illegal war along which resulted in the patriot act that brought us to where we are today.

What I would like to know is hyperbole the same as facts?

6. "Scandalgate"?
Tue May 14, 2013, 04:35 PM
May 2013

Isn't "--gate" the modern designation for scandal? If so, doesn't "Scandalgate" mean "scandal scandal," which would be ridiculously tautological?

Also, aren't some media people getting a bit hysterical, having apparently run out of other news?

It's the internet, which is not well known for restraint, accuracy, objectivity, or sanity.

Yahoo has some crap on it about one of these so-called scandals. I passed it by.

as soon as I heard this story and started getting the facts...

I knew there was gonna be trouble.

Forget Benghazi, forget even the IRS stuff...

With this one (the AP story), you are picking a fight with the ENTIRE Press.

And although the AP itself doesn't have clean hands, the AP is the Press's Press.

And they are now circling the wagons in defense of there own jobs.

It could get damned ugly.

The bullshit on Benghazi has nearly played out. Obama should push the IRS story to its logical conclusion, whatever it may be. And the stuff about AP needs as much daylight as possible.

This will not end. We will have two more years of it, guaranteed. Every week, it will be a new story.

You'll never learn.

Obama will come out of this unscathed.
And you will just look like fools again.
