Tongue Tied Republicans Redefine ‘Act of Terror’ and Prove Obama Right On Benghazi

Here’s a huge, glaring logic problem for Republicans. Currently, they are arguing that Obama saying “Act of terror” in the Rose Garden on September 12 was not a real reference to terror. At the same time, they are arguing that the phrase — from the Benghazi email John Boehner never read until it was too late — “Islamic extremists” can be read and interpreted as “Islamic terrorists”.

Oh, really?

Republicans got themselves into this mess by screaming that President Obama did not use the right word at the right time with the right ending, and thus he should be impeached or at the very least, not reelected. The fact that he said “act of terror” isn’t good enough, because you see, words matter. He had to say “the terrorists!” or else.

But now John Boehner has made a fool of himself by publicly charging that an email said “Islamic terrorists” and that the administration changed the talking points to “Islamic extremists”. In fact, the email actually reads “Islamic extremists” (a fact Boehner would have had a better shot of knowing had he actually attended the briefing during which the emails were shared).

1. It keeps them occupied.

Republicans need busywork to keep themselves occupied otherwise they might actually get something useful done.

I think they took that old t-shirt slogan "Jesus is coming - look busy" a bit too literally.

2. Expecting 'logic' from them?

Expecting their followers to understand logic?

3. I am beginning to think the best to come out of the Benghazi hearings is this is going to prove

Obama and Hillary is not going to be hurt. It has been the GOP running around saying they have not heard what they wanted and after this hearing whish has not produced the gotcha moment they wanted. These hearings was started by GOP and perhaps if they had waited until closer to the 2016 elections they may have gotten some mileage but they messed it up too early.

4. What other kind of terrorists would you expect in Benghazi?

Coptic terrorists (next to Egypt, but never heard of a Coptic terrorist), Baptist terrorists, Communist terrorists (not an issue in Libya as far as I know).

Republicans. What a stupid, uneducated bunch. If you are in the Middle East, chances are the terrorists are Muslim.

6. They're still spoiling for religious war

If they can start some long term sh*t with the Muslim countries their war stock shares will deliver fatter dividends.
Even the crusades were ultimately for land and gold rather than their stated purpose.

5. I saw a RWer saying that, even though Ayers only caused property damage

(and, from what I read, the Weather Underground warned their "victims" ahead of time) ...

he was still a "terrorist" ...

So, if someone causes property damage on ... say, a Democratic politician's offices ... does that make him or her a terrorist?
