Dont you wish the MSM would shut up about Benghazi Libya already?

Oh wait, they have now for several weeks. The only ones ranting about it are the fringe righties who are trying to make it into Obama's October Surprise. They are talking so much about it, it makes me think they planned it.

I wish they'd quit talking about the conspiracy and coverup and get back to the real news...you know, that Obama seeded the clouds to make Sandy hit NYC the week before the election so the UN can come in and take their guns away to later make them get abortions after their kids are married off to the gays.

I have FB "friends" who feel the "MSM" hasn't pushed this manufactured non-story enough. I really haven't heard much on the other networks (at least the serious ones) about this scam. To those who live in the wingnut bubble this is bigger than Watergate, yet to the reality-based world it's being seen as yet another right wing "poutrage". Now watch these same shitbags try to turn this storm into "Obama's Katrina"...

They play up the close contest angle for ratings. Whether it is close or not. Obama is going to win.
Eff them.

Actually, I don't see a problem about that.

But sad to say, sometimes the true motive has changed the facts.

Well, welcome to America!

If there is a cover-up, WHAT is being covered up and WHY? What is it that the right wants us to be so outraged about in regards to what happened in Benghazi? Does it REALLY matter what the President called what happened and when he did it? Also, I'd like to know why Romney has suddenly gone silent on the issue? Seems like something like that might help him a bit in the final stretch. A radio host I was listening to today called Benghazi "catnip" for the right-wing and I am in total agreement with that!

It was all Benghazi all the time.

I made him flip the channel.

He watched MSNBC and CNN - which were talking about Sandy.


Later in the evening, I switched it back to Faux. Guess what they were still talking about. Switched the channel again.

My husband used to watch Faux all the time, but not anymore.

No matter what the conversation is, they bring it straight back to Benghazi. They are totally bat-sh*t crazy. [url=http://www.cosgan.de/smilie.php][img][/img][/url]

Hmmmm? Who would that be? Setting up traps? Luring in suspects. Providing material support for terrorists.
Take a hard look at every domestic terror plot. It has been entrapment and a manipulated plan to radicalize young Muslim males.
Who has more ex-convict, released on condition, brainwashed, traumatic torture survival, prisoner of war shell shocked victim, angry, Muslim former detainee, specimens on hand, to lead an expedition.

The alphabet agencies are chock full of black ops money. Don't think for one minute they are running, ob/gyn health clinics in the back rugged mountains of Afghanistan, that money goes to create a threat to justify the money.

I put nothing past the manipulators that shake up the events and then put the spin on it.

11. If a Democratic President was in office on 9-11-01

would the Republicans have given him/her a pass on the gross incompetence that allowed 9-11 to occur?

Or if a Republican was in office (instead of LBJ) when the USS Liberty was attacked on June 8, 1967 and the President purposely left the crew defenseless, would a Republican have covered it up? http://www.usslibertyveterans.org/index.html
