"To call Benghazi the worst disaster since 9-11 is a total misunderstanding..."

[Surya Gayatri]

BRAVO TO NEWLY-SWORN SENATOR CHRIS MURPHY (D-Connecticut) in Senate Hearings on Benghazi w/ Sec. of State Clinton.

He was indirectly responding to Sen. Rand Paul's (R-BatShitCrazy) previous rant.

[Mass]

1. Well, 20 kids were killed a month ago in his former district, so I guess

as tragic as Chris Stevens's death is, he sees that differently.

[Surya Gayatri]

4. He also mentioned the 4000+ Americans killed in the

wars of choice in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Paul sounded like some conspiracy nut blogger.

[MANative]

2. In context, Chris referenced the 4000+ soldiers killed...

"in a 10-year war entered into under false pretenses."

3. Where are the hearings on the 9800 plus Americans that have been shot since than?

5. It seems every Democratic politician in that hearing

kept hammering home the point about being lied into Iraq and the soldiers who died because of it.

10. Yes and Menendez just repeated it yet again. I love it! eom

[Surya Gayatri]

13. Like throwing open a window in a sickroom! Let's hope the House Dems continue hammering

at this afternoon's House Foreign Affairs Committee hearing.

16. nice to see message discipline coming from the democrats for a change

6. Just gossip

You can't say anything reliable until killers are brought to justice.

8. ??? Seriesly? 1!1!!!11! Gossip you say?

[bluedigger]

7. If that was the worst disaster since 9-11, I'd call it a good decade.

[Surya Gayatri]

9. Unfortunately, Rand Paul's insane rant was total

hyperbole from beginning to end, especially the 9-11 bit. Totally detached from reality.

11. Not in the limited sense (embassy security) the GOP mean it. Fools n tools.

12. 40,000 deaths in car accidents last year.

Would strike me as more of a disaster than the unfortunate events at Benghazi..

To bring down the number of automobile deaths i'm sure the NRA would suggest driving even faster,100mph minimums..

14. The BushCo reelection was the worst disaster since 09/11.

How anyone could vote again for this band of thieves and liars is beyond me. The willfully ignorant brainless zombies tuned in to the RW Hatemonger Media and did as they were instructed and allowed these pirates to continue their reign of terror even though 09/11 happened on BushCo's watch.

15. ^^^This^^^ "Bush lied, thousands died."
