BENGHAZI-GATE

How come nobody here is even talking about it? This is the late-breaking issue that will finally bring Obama down! The liberal media won't even discuss it - YET- but it's not gonna go away. It's much worse than Watergate -- after all, nobody died in Watergate.

Yep that's right, I've been watching Fox News so you don't have to!

ZOMG Benghazi-gate!!!!!!!

Faux Newz was on one of the channels.

Holy. Fucking. Shit.

It was all Benghazi all the fucking time. No joke. Apparently this Benghazi incident is worse than Sep 11th.

Unfortunately for them, most Americans know it's a manufactured issue and/or care much more about other things.

They had something on how Sandy will benefit Romney. No doubt.


I can just hear Megyn Kelly (if thats her real name) asking .. "Will Hurricane Sandy hurt Obama's chances? More coming up stay tuned".

that Bush/Cheney started two wars and the unfortunate consequence is that
people die.Sometimes those people are civilians or contractors that have
signed up for what happened in Benghazi. The War on Terror extends beyond
the boundaries of Afghanistan, Pakistan or Iraq. They must just now be figuring
that out in time for the 2012 elections.

Iran Contra Affair, the Marine Barracks blowing up under Reagan.

Wasn't part of Watergate also about the Pentagon Papers and Vietnam War cover up? Didn't a lot of people die in Vietnam? And didn't Nixon order a break in into Daniel Ellsberg's, a private citizen, doctor's office? This is what turned congress against Nixon. It was his abuse of power and abuse of his office. How would you like it if someone broke into your doctor's office, stole the medical records and used them as blackmail.

If Watergate had been merely about Nixon's Karl Rove style campaign tactics, everyone would rolled their eyes.

Get to know your history better.

Sorry if I sound mad.

In other words, please don't compare Benghazi to Watergate. Read up on history please.

And would never lie or make comparisons like that if they weren't valid.

Would they?
