What's the real difference between "an act of terror" and "a terrorist attack?" [View all]

If you ask most of the extremist wing of the GOP why they're so outraged over the 'Benghazi talking points,' they'll blather about 'four Americans dead,' 'worse-than-watergate cover ups,' 'when Nixon lied no one died' etc. But all of this is really just rationalization for: A) their deep rooted hatred (up to and including racial hatred) for Barrack Obama, and B) their soreness over losing the last election.

Without realizing it, deep down, at lizard brain level they actually think that if Barrack Obama had said "A Terrorist Act" instead of "An Act of Terror" he wouldn't be President right now. That, if he'd changed three words in a Rose Garden statement it would have cost him the election, and the guy they harbor PRIMITIVE, VISCERAL HATRED for would now be gone.

All I can say is "REALLY?" You don't even REALIZE that this is what's driving the whole Benghazi freak show, and how unrealistic that scenario is? That if he'd changed a few words here and there when commenting about the Benghazi tragedy, OVER FIVE MILLION PEOPLE WOULD HAVE CHANGED THEIR VOTES?

These people have SERIOUS issues with cognitive dissonance.
