I knew something was wrong with this ad.....

here in Pennsylvania A Pac is running an anti-Clinton ad. It is a man identified as Max "Oz" Giest, former Marine. He is seen in a military cemetery and he talks about that he was at Benghazi and a lot of his friends didn't come back from there and won't be voting in November. There is a lot of emphasis on the cemetery. Other than it's an anti-Clinton ad, I didn't like the emphasis of showing the military cemetery, I just thought it was wrong.

Well apparently it is. See link

Take the part about how he was at Benghazi and "many of his friends didn't come back." Lies. If he is actually a veteran I could see how some of his friends didn't come back from Iraq or Afghanistan, but no troops were lost at Benghazi. It'll be denied by the RW echo chamber, but that's the way he makes it sound.

Two were from the State Dept - Ambassador Stevens and Information Officer Sean Smith

Two were freelance security contractors hired through the CIA - Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods (both former Seals).

It's a republican ad, of course it's deceptive.
