(1,399 posts)...that Fox seems to have no shame in pursuing. But they are two entirely different beasts that don't merit comparison, and most people have enough intelligence to realize that.
The original post, however, is spot on: where was the outrage when those other attacks happened? Democrats need to bring that point up over and over and over and over and over and over and over again on all the media outlets (did I mention that they need to bring it up over and over again, enough to make the public as sick of it as they are of Benghazi?)
If there's any story here it's who leaked the emails and their reasons. Was it a disgruntled ex-employee with a simple grudge or something more sinister, say, to discredit and/or intimidate someone who was, I dunno, for example very high up in the State Department and may be thinking of running for a very high profile public office soon??

(62,325 posts)That is the equivalency imo.
But in a way, this is the fault of the Democrats who refused to hold war criminals and traitors and liars accountable for their crimes. If they thought they would be nicer to them for letting them off the hook, they were sadly mistaken.
Had they been held accountable, their credibility would be shot and they would busy trying to defend themselves instead of going after anyone else. But for some reason, Dems don't seem to want to tangle with them and they take full advantage of that.
Clapper is another example, he lies to Congress and doesn't even get a 'stern warning'. The crooked Bankers get bailed out and we are told amazingly that no 'crimes were committed, what they was immoral but not criminal'. Well talk to some of their victims, and there are millions of them.
So I kind of gave up on Democrats standing up to them and when you don't stand up to bullies, they will keep on bullying.

(14,449 posts)This would have been an opportunity for the Democrats to finally get the Republicans. Why didn't they? One day the Democrats are going to get the Republicans. I hope I am still alive to see it.....I am 45 so you can see by my statement I am not confident.

Bush missed intel, Condi and Powell faked intel, Cheney ordered torture that produced no useable intel, bush lied about intel and took us to war.
Missed intel? You damn right.

(12,852 posts)This will not stop until Impeachment Charges are brought against the President and/or Hillary is dragged before Congress to have her reputation destroyed before she can run for President. I know, both of these desires appear insane, but so did the desire for the government shutdown last year by the rethugs. We are dealing with a alternate, wing-nug reality.
Be prepared for a long and debilitating fight.

(1,850 posts)So I checked it out. These were not the same as the Benghazi thing. First, the embassy walls were never breached in any of those attacks. They were mostly car bombings that took place outside the embassies. Second, those killed were, with only a few exceptions, not Americans. I know that those lives are as precious as any American's life, but the America public doesn't see it that way.
Look, I agree that the whole investigation is a desperate attempt at "getcha" by an increasingly shrill Fox News, and an increasingly desperate GOP. The whole thing should be dropped like a hot rock. But this attack was not the same as all those under the Bush regime.
