They’ve Lost Fox And Friends: GOP Claims Of Benghazi ‘Cover Up’ Collapses

[pepperbear]

16. yep. hate to be all "emperor has no clothes." It doesn't matter what it "is" it matters how it's

"perceived," to quote a West Wing episode, and unfortunately Republicans are rubbing their grubby hands together with glee right about now.

Let me be perfectly clear: It doesn't matter what really happened. "Scandal" and "cover up" are all people will want to hear, and to our disadvantage, Republicans are good at stirring this sort of crap up, whether it be true or not. Don't believe me? Ask average Joe how much he knows about the Iraq war and how it really got off the ground in 2002, then tell me how that old chestnut of a "scandal" and cover up" is perceived, especially in the wake of the Bush library opening. I don't know why, but when it's them, they get away with it, and when it's us, we fuck it up and let them get away with it, all because of politics.

mark my words: this WILL affect the president's agenda for a while until people get sick of it, and only then will the less-than-worthless push polls start up with "should congress be worried about this?"....8 weeks and several soundbite-grabbing headlines later.

I am a dyed-in-the-wool liberal, and even I can see this as wishful thinking propaganda rushed out to counteract what is happening in the main stream media. Sorry, guys. I love our president, our country, and all that, but I am a little worried.

If someone has something sensible to say that will ease my fears, please, by all means, share it with me. I am not a troll, but come on! History should tell you that I'm right on this one. And understand this: anyone who is even the least bit nasty to me because of what I am saying here today will only prove my point.

Thanks.
