All of this to satisfy the far right and keep their hate anf fear alive! I have some right wing former classmates that constantly put right wing crap on the FB. They are eating this shite up and post their "Ah ha" and "gotcha" videos daily. I have decided not to continue to try to disprove their bullshit, I do not wish to fill my FB up with the tit for tat crap this entails. I still comment from time to time on the most egregious crap!

I didn't unfriend here because our family is dealing with some major medical issues regarding 3 of our other cousins right now, so I didn't want to start a family feud, but I am in no mood to read or deal with her crap right now.

...And they were excruciating to watch. My skin crawled. I can now see why those that watch nothing but faux news are so fucked up. We'll just have to wait till that crowd dies off; and they WILL be the first to go. At least it's fun watching them implode.

what facts are presented!!
The"fiscally conservative" Republicons should be held responsible for putting on this fantastical theater in order to discredit our President!! They should have to pay out of their pockets--rather than have the taxpayers foot the bill for this craziness!!!

.....a Democratic president. They tried it with Clinton, and Bill's ratings actually went up. All they will manage to do with this bullshit is to whip up their cretinous base; which is already in a constant state of outrage.

For everyone not in their shrinking base, this will just send their ratings lower. Remind me, are the Republicans still about as popular as cockroaches?

I am happy that he pointed out that after eight months of investigations the Republican Party still cannot say what President Obama supposedly did wrong. It was also great to see him talk about the fact that Congressional Republicans cut the State Department budget. Like others I am sad reports like this happen on the John Stewart Show instead of on serious news programs.

When Dubya blew off multiple security warnings from other countries, some quite detailed , and thousands died on 9/11/01, not one bit of Bush criticism by Faux. On the contrary they called anyone critical of that cowardly chickenhawk and his chickenhawk buddies unpatriotic. Of course 60 died at embassies while that Dufus was in office, didn't hear diddly about that from Faux either.

So while CNN and MSNBC have been focusing on the Arias trial and more so on the huge story out of Cleveland, Fox is still trying to get traction on Benghazi, focusing on the this sham get Hillary hearing.

Stewart can't rip them enough for me and I really have to wonder about the IQ of anyone not seeing through Faux News at this point.

60 people died in these. Not a single outraged republican. One embassy attack happens under Obama. The Fox News Tea Party turns into apes about ready to fling their feces at each other. It's revolting. Bravo for Jon for pointing out their utter hypocrisy.
