In reply to the discussion: Fuck it, have Rice resign, and take full responsibility for Benghazi, defang this [View all]frazzled
(18,402 posts)Although Benghazi reigns supreme here, it's frankly not being discussed in the mainstream news at all.
I just checked the front pages and "national" pages of three major American newspapers: The New York Times, The Washington Post, and even the Republican-leaning Chicago Tribune. Not one of them has a headline that focuses on Benghazi.
Now, maybe they will if John McCain and Lindsay Graham scream loud enough. But you know what? We control the Senate by a large margin now, and by extension, all the relevant investigative committees. There will be no right-wing-led "Watergate-type" investigation. This is bluster and and attempt to distract you from the fiscal negotiations, the election wins, etc.
We need to stop playing on the Republican's (and Fox News's) turf. We set the agenda. We talk about what's important. There is no "Benghazi thing."
