didn't they ban that phrase?....no wonder it wasn't a big topic

the only thing worth noting is that the security situation was deteriorating, help was requested, was not given and Americans ended up dead and the administration and it's surrogates lied repeatedly about it and continue to...there were a number of incidents leading up to this

"The British Foreign Office withdrew all consular staff from Benghazi in late June"


..you can continue to split hairs and regurgitate the talking points....the effect of which reinforces the fact that we have people who aren't nearly as smart as they pretend to be and who are too caught up in their I'm smarter than you posture and ideology to see or acknowledge what is actually going on and who will say and do just about anything to maintain that posture and promote their ideology which makes them a danger to the rest of us .....

Spence...if you deal in facts and truth you don't have to engage in all of the word games and obfuscation.....what happened is very clear...this game that you play serves no purpose but to make you look like a fool....as in the Ayers thread......


btw....Jim posted an article with remarks from a recent speech by Ayers where he made this comparison....



Bill Ayers, the 1960s radical who went on to become a college professor and associate of President Obama, said Saturday the bombings he helped the Weather Underground carry out to protest the Vietnam War bear no resemblance to the deadly Boston Marathon attack.

How different is the shooting in Connecticut from shooting at a hunting range?” Ayers told a reporter who asked him to compare the incidents . “Just because they use the same thing, there’s no relationship at all.”


I'm sure that you can find some logic in this stupidity Spence but I'm pretty sure that of the four examples...three are illegal and can or could have deadly consequences and shooting at a hunting range is a most absurd comparison....but some are so impressed with their pretend brilliance that they don't realize or care that they look like fools....

"no relationship at all"

The Benghazi Lie
A failure of character of this magnitude corrodes the integrity of the state.

" Truth matters, and character matters. For the American people to accept the Obama-Clinton lie is to be complicit in it."

He quotes the New York Times, but Marc Steyn is full of malarkey! Nor does he specify one thing that is demonstrably false...it's just malarkey cuz it paints the Messiah in an unfavorable light, and that can't possibly have any validity to it.

Steyn is clearly a racist...

That's one possibility.

It's malarky because he makes an extremely aggressive suggestion and never provides any evidence to back up the case. It's a classic case of circular logic run amok.

Don't let RIROCKHOUND see this, he'll have an aneurysm.

I would think you'd be very sympathetic to that tactic, ye of the "we didn't send in special forces because the Libyans wouldn't let us" fabrication...

You really don't see any irony in that statement?
