1. Meaningless

Teaparty and the right dont care one bit about the lives lost in Benghazi, in fact they hated the Ambassador as he worked for Obama

so the truth about this means nothing, teaparty hates Obama because he is Black, period

NOTHING will change that

[A Simple Game]

9. I have thought about this for quite awhile. I don't think they hate President Obama

because he is black, I think they hate him because he isn't white.

I think the Tea party is non-discriminatory in their discrimination, they dislike all non-whites.

I am not picking on you, I agree completely. But I do think the way I word it is true.

[LiberalLovinLug]

21. I think you're right

And I guess it goes without saying he'd have to still be straight, with a family, and talk about his Christian God blessing him and his country a lot.

Its simply because he is an "other".


And its not getting any better for them. Hillary meets the white quota but darn it, not the correct sex.

[randys1]

30. Agree

this rancher and the teaparty in general hates women, Asians, Blacks, Iranians, Canadians, Gays, Brazilians and all foreigners and all Brown people and all non christians, so yes, you are right...

and I am not exaggerating, that is why we have such a serious problem

[Gravitycollapse]

31. No, that's just ridiculous pedantry. Hating him for not being white is hating him for being black.

You don't need to apologize for their racism.

[A Simple Game]

32. You got an apology out of that? That means you're completely wrong about my post. n/t

[Gravitycollapse]

33. That -was- a groveling apology for white racism.

"Oh no no. They don't hate black people. They just hate anyone who isn't white."

What utter, pedantic bollocks.

[BlueMTexpat]

37. Wow - you certainly woke up on the wrong side of the bed

... or something. Please go take a chill pill.

How on earth you got a "groveling apology for white racism" out of a perfectly reasonable - and accurate - post is certainly beyond me!

Racists and bigots hate anyone who isn't perceived to be like them and that includes differences of mentality, culture, ethnicity, national origin, religion and politics - among others - as well as skin color. Skin color - of whatever non-white shade - is just the most immediately obvious reason for haters to hate and black skin is perhaps most obvious of all. In the US, being black is the one with the most painfully consistent historical associations, however, even today.

I, for one, happen to love our increasingly many hued-world - which is reflected in my own immediate - and more extensive family.

Yes, racists are furious that Prez O has black skin and hate him for that. But what they hate even more is that his white mother actually chose to be with his black father (especially at a time when that was comparatively rare - even illegal in some parts of the US) but, most of all, that he is an admirable, intelligent, compassionate and attractive role model of a human being who trumps their inadequacy and shows up their hypocrisy in countless ways just by existing in a position of power, if not THE position of power. The fact that he was so overwhelmingly elected and re-elected in spite of everything that they could throw at him galls them to the point of literal insanity. His global popularity drives some over the edge.

Remember that there are some with black skins that racists "tolerate" - Clarence Thomas, Herman Cain, Allen West, Mia Love, etc., largely because they are no more than brainless tools - and would be, no matter what their skin color.

No, the hatred of Prez O goes beyond skin color alone. They hate his very essence.

[A Simple Game]

39. I never said they don't hate black people, you have a reading comprehension problem.

In your reply please show me where I said they don't hate black people.

[defacto7]

34. You are absolutely right.

Hating him because he's black is only partly true. Hating him because he's not white completes the argument and covers the racist reality. There is no apology in your statement.

[A Simple Game]

42. Thank you, I truly believe that they are non-discriminatory in their discrimination.

They would hate President Obama if he were Hispanic, Asian, Indian, Aborigine, Purple People Eater, or anything else but white.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

38. They hate him for being half....

Remember on Harry Potter when they talked about "mud bloods"?

It's like that.

[mindwalker_i]

2. Time to exhume Lewinsky

Republicans will go after anything, and it should be pretty obvious that this is purely political. On the other hand, Democrats won't go after Republicans for ANYTHING, even when we really need to address some serious issues. Jesus, Rick Perry is just the latest. Blackwell, whoever-he-fuck it was in Florida in 2000, bankers, Iraq, the list just goes on and on.

[KT2000]

3. Dems should repeat often

the price tag for this boondoggle.

[tofuandbeer]

4. GOP heads must be exploiding

[underpants]

8. They'll never hear about it

Their bubble serves to keep them in by keeping info out

[watoos]

14. I posted this

on my local right wing web site. I only got one hit so far, they are speechless. The one hit jumped all over me but I calmly replied, why are you mad at me, I just reposted what Buck McKeon said. Good ole Buck kinda took the propaganda out of Benghazi.

[tofuandbeer]

22. :D

[MindMover]

5. kr....nt

[Anarcho-Socialist]

6. Time to demand Hillary's full long-form birth certificate

[nxylas]

7. Traitor!!!11

Primary his ass! Preacher McBushmaster for whatever district this RINO represents.

[Timez Squarez]

15. Laugh! Let them try..

Only they would realize that McKeon is retiring when they don't see his name on the ballot...

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

10. Maybe it's time we reopened investigations into Issa's alleged auto thefts and insurance frauds

since he will be looking for some way to keep busy.

[SoapBox]

11. I'll super ditto that!

I so want to see him in stripes and shackles.

[Timez Squarez]

16. And his arsonic behavior..

Heard he likes to play with fire and get burnt...

[yuiyoshida]

12. Wonders if Fox News hosts will ignore this?

My guess is yes they will... Fox and Friends will continue to shout "Bengahazi" as will SEAN HANNITY. It was all they had...on the President of the United States.

[NewJeffCT]

18. Fox News, Rush Limbaugh, etc will never report on this

so, Issa and company will be free to keep spewing on Benghazi

[awoke_in_2003]

13. It is quite clear

that the GOP House Armed Services Committee Chair is part of the cover up

[Orrex]

17. This simply proves that Obama was involved in Vince Foster's "suicide"

Has Issa launched his investigation of McKeon yet?

[NewJeffCT]

19. Not just that

Hillary and her lesbian lover also conspired with Obama on it.

[czarjak]

20. "We're getting there"?

Right Darrell?

[MADem]

23. Look at those idiots!

Their suits look like the same pattern/different color; the Congressional pin is placed "just so," the ties look like they were side by side at the tie store; they both have man tan, expensive haircuts (McKeon got the blue rinse to bring out the white at the side of his head; and the million dollar crybaby got the shoe-polish black treatment)...and on their faces, the exact same moronic expression, to polish off the look!!!

[Enthusiast]

24. What bullshit! Bush lied us into an unnecessary war and tortured yet he didn't need to be exonerated

I do not like the word "exonerated" in this instance.

[defacto7]

35. Exactly!

Since when did he ever need to be exonerated at all?

[valerief]

25. Issa and Fox News won't give it up. They'll keep dragging it around like they do with abortion. nt

[SummerSnow]

26. Oh I bet they are working on something now.

lol

[defacto7]

36. I don't think they need to work on anything...

they can just repeat the same thing and dedicated FOX viewers wouldn't know the difference.

[Tarheel_Dem]

27. K&R!

[Cha]

28. IRS IRS IRS IRS IRS!!11111

thanks EarlG!

[Thinkingabout]

29. We should shout loud and clear how much money has been spent on the Benghazi

Hearings and it is wasteful spending by Republicans. In the first month it was already said response to protecting our Ambassador would not have saved his life. If there was going to be to prevent further loss of life on our facilities then the hearings may have been productive. Issa should feel like the A Number One A$$hole the way he treated Cummings.

[Galileo126]

40. Two things

One - Buck is retiring. He's a scumbag (and my local rep). Rotten to the core.

Two - He's like a dying person, who suddenly goes to church for redemption. Nobody is buying his shit. He'll have to walk my streets, knowing he's not loved nor liked.

See ya at the grocery store, you asshat. I have much to say...

[certainot]

41. our history the last 25 years is full of egs like this of the folly of ignoring rw radio

what a huge waste, and in the sense that it has helped slow action on global warming, giving rw radio a free speech free ride has been the biggest political mistake in history.

there is no victory in reaching this point
