Benghazi Alert - As I was turning off morning scum for real news

I love Thomas Roberts so I was watching Way too early and was in the process of turning the channel when I caught the beginning. The dead intern guy was there and it was all about Benghazi, I couldn't switch it fast enough.

Personally I am sick of Benghazi. No disrespect for the 4 people that died, but in the grand scheme of things its not as important as some would want us the believe. We have had more investigations for this event then we had for 911 (where close to 3 thousand died) or even for Pearl Harbor (where the death toll was 2,402).

There was no cover up. Its over lets move on.

Too many in America are low information processors to begin with and will accept what they hear on the instant verses actually comprehending the data.

I'm tired of fighting the corporate machine. The corporate media will control the message and lead the people to what they want them to believe.

WHY was an ambassador in that area of the country in a lightly secured office rather than in the actual embassy with plenty of security on that of all days?

It seems to me that if he was that concerned about security, he'd have stayed buttoned up on 9/11.

But, then, I hate 'merica.

According to my right wing relatives, it is also 'hating 'merica' when one brings up the many people killed at embassies during the W admin.

They're repeating the same schtick, so we know what's going to happen. If we get Hillary in office, if the Republicans are in control of the house they will go on another fishing expedition to try to turn up dirt. And, let's face it, the whole point of the House impeachment was to win leverage to force a Dem president to make right-leaning decisions--which is what happened to Bill. Political black mail and extortion, in my opinion.

Triangulation my ass. Clinton was just saving his ass. I see that now, though I fervently believed in him in the nineties.

This is why you don't support a candidate who has skeletons in the closet.
