21. It's not a matter of believing it -- it's what the GOP is trying to prove
Mon Nov 19, 2012, 10:38 PM

All I was saying is that the story in the OP suggested that arguing about whether it was terrorists or rioters is as meaningless as arguing about whether they were wearing red or green pants. And I pointed out that the Republicans do think there's a difference because they're trying to argue that the Obama administration deliberately covered up the fact that it was terrorists to make Obama look better.

It doesn't make the GOP argument true -- but it does mean that in their own minds they've got a point they're trying to make and aren't just running around in circles yelling "Benghazi! Benghazi!"
